Villa Rica to our Lithia Springs office is about sixteen miles and 22 to 25 minutes, nearly all of it on I-20: east to exit 41 (Lee Road), then three miles south. Call (770) 802-2220 and we'll hold you a same-day appointment, Monday through Thursday 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM or Friday 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM.
The $89 covers the emergency exam and diagnostic X-rays. Treatment is priced separately and quoted to you in writing before any work starts.

How far is our office from Villa Rica?
Sixteen and a half road miles, which sounds far until you see the route: I-20 from exit 24 or 26 straight to exit 41, then Lee Road south to the Publix center. No surface-street crawl through Douglasville. In normal traffic it's 22 to 25 minutes from downtown Villa Rica or the Mirror Lake side, about the same from the Tanner Medical Center/Villa Rica area.
That's why Villa Rica made this list despite the mileage: the interstate makes it one of the simplest drives we see.
Same-day emergency dental care for Villa Rica patients
Call first, get a held time, come once. Every emergency service is handled in our office on Lee Road:
- Toothache relief for pain that won't settle
- Emergency extractions, simple and surgical
- Root canals for an infected nerve
- Abscess treatment for swelling and infection
- Broken tooth repair and lost fillings or crowns
- Emergency denture repair
The X-ray, the diagnosis, the written price and the treatment happen at one address, usually in one visit, so the round trip on I-20 happens once.
What an emergency dental visit costs for Villa Rica 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. We accept PPO dental plans, including Aetna PPO, Delta Dental, Cigna, MetLife, Blue Cross Blue Shield, UnitedHealthcare, and Guardian, and CareCredit financing and in-house payment plans are available. The cost and insurance page walks through the process.
Without insurance, nothing changes: $89 to start, a written price, your decision.
Getting here from Villa Rica
- From downtown Villa Rica and Main Street: I-20 east from exit 24 (GA-61) or exit 26 (Liberty Road) to exit 41 (Lee Road), then south about three miles.
- From Mirror Lake: Mirror Lake Boulevard to I-20 east, same exit.
- From the Stockmar Park and Pine Mountain Gold Museum side: Bankhead Highway (US 78) east to Liberty Road, then I-20 east.
- If I-20 is stopped: Veterans Memorial Highway (US 78) east through Douglasville to Fairburn Road (GA-92), then Lee Road; slower but steady.
Parking is outside the door in the Publix center.
After hours for Villa Rica patients: the phone still works
The office is closed evenings, Friday afternoons and weekends. The phone is answered by a real person at every hour, and a Villa Rica call on a Saturday gets honest advice about whether it can wait and a held Monday 8:00 AM chair. Spreading swelling means Tanner Medical Center/Villa Rica or Wellstar Douglas Hospital first, then us for the tooth. The weekend and after-hours page has what helps overnight.
Before you leave Villa Rica: three things that help
Take ibuprofen or acetaminophen as the label directs before you merge onto I-20, so it's working by exit 41. A knocked-out tooth goes back in the socket or into milk before anything else; a broken piece rides along in milk. And the call to (770) 802-2220 happens before you leave Villa Rica, so the chair is held for the twenty-five minutes on the interstate and the exam starts when you park.
If you're coming from Mirror Lake or the Stockmar Park side, say so; the front desk will tell you whether Liberty Road or GA-61 is the better on-ramp at that hour.
Frequently asked questions from Villa Rica patients
Is it really worth driving past Douglasville to reach you?
If a Douglasville office can see you today, that's a fine choice. What we offer is a held same-day time and a schedule built for emergencies, and from Villa Rica the drive to us is one interstate exit longer. Call (770) 802-2220, and if we can't see you as fast as you need, the front desk will say so.
What if I need a follow-up visit after the emergency?
Follow-ups are scheduled around your drive, often first thing in the morning or right after lunch so you're not fighting I-20 at rush hour. Many emergencies need none; a permanent crown or a denture back from the lab are the usual reasons for a second trip, and you'll know in advance.
Do you see Carroll County patients?
Yes, from Villa Rica and the Carrollton side beyond it. Tell the front desk how far out you are and the appointment will allow for the drive. West Georgia's 770 and 678 numbers are all local calls to our line.
Can I get everything done in one trip from Villa Rica?
Usually. Exam, X-rays, written price and treatment happen in the same visit for most emergencies. A permanent crown after a root canal or a lab-repaired denture may need a second visit, and you'll know before you decide.
Do you take 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 the I-20 corridor.
