How far is our office from Mableton?
Roughly ten road miles. From the Floyd Road and Mableton Parkway area, Veterans Memorial Highway (US 78) runs west through Austell to South Sweetwater Road, which brings you to Lee Road and the Publix center. From the South Cobb Drive and Mable House side, Old Alabama Road to Thornton Road (GA-6), then I-20 west to exit 41 and three miles south, is about the same: 18 to 20 minutes in normal traffic.
Mableton sits between us and a lot of Cobb County dentistry, and for an emergency the deciding factor is usually who can see you today, not who's a mile closer. That's what the held same-day time is for.
Same-day emergency dental care for Mableton patients
Call first, get a held time, come once. Every emergency service below is handled in our office on Lee Road:

- Emergency extractions, simple and surgical

The diagnosis, the written price and the treatment happen at one address, usually in the same visit.
What an emergency dental visit costs for Mableton patients
Every visit starts at $89 for the exam and diagnostic X-rays. Then our dentist quotes the treatment in writing before any work begins, and you decide. We accept PPO dental plans, including Aetna PPO, Delta Dental, Cigna, MetLife, Blue Cross Blue Shield, UnitedHealthcare, and Guardian. CareCredit financing and in-house payment plans are available. Details, including why there are no treatment prices on this site, are on the cost and insurance page.
Without insurance, the process is identical: $89 to start, a written price, your decision.
Getting here from Mableton
- From Floyd Road and Mableton Parkway (GA-139): Veterans Memorial Highway west through Austell, South Sweetwater Road, then Lee Road.
- From South Cobb Drive and the Mable House area: Old Alabama Road to Thornton Road (GA-6) south, I-20 west to exit 41 (Lee Road), then south about three miles.
- From the Silver Comet Trail side near Mavell Road: Veterans Memorial Highway west is the simpler route.
- From Riverview Road and the river side: Veterans Memorial Highway west.
Parking is outside the door in the Publix center. If you're on the trail and a tooth gets knocked out, keep it in milk and call (770) 802-2220 while someone drives you.
After hours for Mableton patients: the phone still works
Evenings, Friday afternoons and weekends the office is closed, and the phone is still answered by a real person. A Mableton toothache at midnight gets honest advice and a held chair for the first opening, usually 8:00 AM the next business day. Swelling toward the eye or throat means Wellstar Cobb Hospital in Austell first, then us for the tooth. The weekend and after-hours page covers what helps in the meantime.
Before you leave Mableton: three things that help
Take ibuprofen or acetaminophen as the label directs before the drive so it's working by the time you reach Lee Road. Keep a knocked-out tooth in the socket or in milk, and keep a broken piece in a little milk too; both are worth bringing. And call (770) 802-2220 before you leave so the chair is held for the twenty minutes you're on the road rather than given to someone who called from closer.
If you're heading out from the Silver Comet Trail or a game at one of the Mableton fields, tell the front desk you're coming from the east side of the county; they'll suggest Veterans Memorial Highway or I-20 depending on the hour.
Frequently asked questions from Mableton patients
Twenty minutes feels far with a bad toothache. Is it worth it?
The drive is the only wait. Because your time is held by phone, you arrive and the exam starts, which is usually faster than an unscheduled visit somewhere five minutes away. Take ibuprofen or acetaminophen as the label directs before you leave, and have someone else drive if the pain is bad.
Do you send records to my regular dentist in Mableton?
Yes, with your permission. Plenty of Mableton patients keep a family dentist in south Cobb for routine care and use us for the emergency. We treat the problem and send a summary and the X-rays to your regular office so nothing has to be done twice.
Which route is better in rush hour from Mableton?
Veterans Memorial Highway west tends to move even when Thornton Road and the I-20 ramps are backed up. The front desk can suggest a route when you call; Mableton's 770 and 678 numbers are all local calls to our line.
Do you see children from Mableton for emergencies?
Yes: knocked-out or loosened teeth, toothaches, and breaks from falls or sports. Call and tell the front desk your child's age and what happened. A parent or guardian attends, and the whole visit can be in Spanish if that's easier.
Do you accept my PPO plan?
We accept PPO dental plans, including Aetna PPO, Delta Dental, Cigna, MetLife, Blue Cross Blue Shield, UnitedHealthcare, and Guardian. No insurance? Self-pay is welcome at the same $89 start. The service area page lists drive times for the rest of south Cobb.
