Convenient Access from Macland
Students, parents and commuters around Macland can reach Pure Smiles Dentistry in roughly 13 minutes, heading north toward Dallas Hwy and our Marietta mailing address. If you want a dentist near Macland who understands teen schedules, our five general dentists offer clear aligners, wisdom tooth care and routine checkups. Early starts and late Monday and Wednesday hours work around the school day.
Starting at McEachern High School, 2400 New Macland Road, take McEachern School Road and Gaydon Road out to New Macland Road and turn left. Turn right on Macland Road (GA 360) for about 0.3 miles, then left on Villa Rica Road SW. Follow it north about 3.4 miles through a roundabout, turn left on Barrett Parkway for 1.3 miles, then left on Dallas Highway to 2655 Dallas Hwy #510, Marietta, GA 30064.
That works out to about 6.3 miles. Barrett Parkway and Dallas Hwy can run slower at rush hour, so leave a little extra time for an early slot. Find us on Google Maps for live directions. Neighbors to the north and southwest can also see our pages for Lost Mountain and Powder Springs.
Built Around the Macland School Calendar
Two large high schools anchor this part of west Cobb. McEachern High enrolls about 2,175 students, and Hillgrove High on Luther Ward Road has about 2,282. Lovinggood Middle sits beside Hillgrove, and Tapp Middle is on Macedonia Road.
With that many teenagers nearby, Macland households spend a lot of time on school logistics. Dental care has to fit between first bell, practice and homework. Our office opens at 7:00 AM every weekday and stays open until 7:00 PM on Mondays and Wednesdays.
Once a month, a Saturday is also on the schedule, from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM. That gives working parents a way to bring a teen in without pulling them out of class. Five dentists on staff also mean more openings to choose from.
Hillgrove opened in 2006 on 98 acres as the district's fifteenth high school. Macland families who moved in more recently may still be looking for a regular dentist. A short drive up Villa Rica Road puts one within reach.
Teen Smiles and Family Care Around Macland
McEachern High has deep roots. It began in February 1908 as the Seventh District Agricultural and Mechanical School, on 240 acres donated by John Newton McEachern. Its open campus still spreads buildings across the grounds, and you can learn more on the McEachern High School site.
The community itself is older than most of its subdivisions suggest. Place-name records list Upshaw as an older name for the crossroads, and Macland Road now carries Georgia State Route 360 between Hiram and Marietta. Neighborhoods such as Tamarack Lakes and McEachern Woods sit just off the main roads.
The teen years bring specific dental questions. Crowded teeth often become obvious in middle school, wisdom teeth often start to come in during the late teens, and busy athletes snack and sip sports drinks between classes. A dental team that knows a student's history can plan ahead instead of reacting later.
Parents in the area have their own needs too. Worn fillings, a cracked molar or a smile that has dulled over the years all deserve attention. Keeping the whole family at one office in Cobb County makes it easier to stay on top of everyone's care.
Graduates heading off to college or a first job are another group to plan for. A final checkup and cleaning before they leave, plus any fillings that are due, means fewer surprises far from home. Macland parents can book that visit during the summer break or on the monthly Saturday.
Services Families Ask For When Choosing a Dentist Near Macland
Orthodontics
Straightening teeth no longer means metal for every patient. Invisalign clear aligners are offered here, and Dr. Alyssa Patel is a Pearl Invisalign Provider.
Wisdom Teeth Extractions
Wisdom teeth tend to cause trouble in the late teens and early twenties. The office evaluates and removes them, and CBCT 3D imaging is part of its technology.
General Dentistry
Cleanings, exams, fillings and crowns keep the whole household healthy. Overjet AI diagnostics support the dentists as they read each x-ray.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Senior portraits, prom and graduation push many Macland families to think about whitening or tooth-colored bonding. Porcelain veneers are another option for adults.
For teens weighing clear aligners, the iTero scanner creates a digital model of the teeth without a tray of impression putty.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Pure Smiles Dentistry from Macland, and how do I get there?
From McEachern High School the office is about 6.3 miles away, close to a 13-minute drive. Use Macland Road, Villa Rica Road, Barrett Parkway and then Dallas Highway to reach 2655 Dallas Hwy #510. For many families, that makes a dentist near Macland an easy after-school stop.
Can my teen get a checkup before leaving for college?
Yes, and the summer before move-in is a good time to book one. A cleaning, an exam and any needed fillings before leaving can head off a dental problem far from home. The office opens at 7:00 AM on weekdays and also opens one Saturday a month, so a visit can fit around summer jobs and packing.
Do you use digital scans instead of impression trays?
Yes. The office uses the iTero scanner, which captures a digital model of the teeth without a tray of putty. Scans like this support clear aligner planning and restorations, and many patients find them more comfortable than traditional impressions. Digital x-rays complete the picture during the same visit, with no film to develop.
Do you check for crowding and bite problems at regular checkups?
Yes, the dentists look at how the teeth fit together as part of a routine exam. If crowding or a bite issue shows up, orthodontic options such as Invisalign can be discussed, and Dr. Alyssa Patel is a Pearl Invisalign Provider. Spotting these changes in the teen years gives families time to plan treatment and budget.
What does Overjet AI do during my exam?
Overjet is an artificial intelligence tool that analyzes dental x-rays. It flags spots that deserve a closer look, which supports the dentist's own review of each image. Your dentist still makes every diagnosis, and the marked images can make it easier to see what the dentist is describing when treatment is recommended.
