Convenient Access from Marietta Square
Downtown workers can book a 7:00 AM cleaning at Pure Smiles Dentistry and still be back on the Square early in the workday, since the drive west takes about 11 minutes. Our office carries a Marietta mailing address but sits outside the city, in West Cobb. For anyone wanting a dentist near Marietta Square, five general dentists offer cosmetic, restorative and everyday care under one roof.
From Glover Park, follow North Park Square to West Park Square, then turn right onto Whitlock Avenue. Whitlock heads west for about 2.5 miles and becomes Dallas Highway (GA 120); keep right at the fork and continue roughly 1.7 miles to 2655 Dallas Hwy #510, Marietta, GA 30064. It is about 5 miles in all, and our Google Maps pin marks the spot on the south side of the highway.
The office is about 0.4 miles west of Ernest W. Barrett Parkway. Neighbors to the south can find our page for Fair Oaks, and those farther southeast can read about Smyrna.
Dental Care That Fits a Downtown Workday
Marietta Square is the seat of Cobb County government and the busy heart of the city. Shops, restaurants, museums and theatres fill the blocks around the park, alongside government offices. For people who work there, a dental visit often means juggling meetings and lunch rushes.
Our weekday hours begin at 7:00 AM, so an early cleaning can wrap up before the workday gets going. On Mondays and Wednesdays the office stays open until 7:00 PM, which suits people who would rather come after work. One Saturday a month, from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM, gives another option.
Residents who live in the older neighborhoods around Marietta Square have the same choices. Parents can bring children in before school, and retirees can pick a quiet midmorning slot. Because five dentists share the schedule, the choice of appointment times is wider than at a single-dentist office.
The route itself is simple. Whitlock Avenue runs straight out of downtown and turns into Dallas Hwy, so there is no interstate to merge onto and no maze of turns. Dallas Hwy can run slower at rush hour, so build in a few spare minutes for an early slot.
What Marietta Square Professionals Should Know About Their Smiles
People who meet clients or speak in public all day often think about how their smile looks. Coffee, tea and the occasional glass of wine at a downtown dinner can dull teeth over time. Cosmetic options such as whitening and porcelain veneers help, but healthy gums and sound fillings come first.
Busy schedules also lead to skipped checkups. A cracked filling or an old crown that fails during a hectic month can turn into a bigger repair if it waits. An office that opens early, a short drive from Marietta Square, makes it easier to stay on schedule.
Marietta Square itself has a long civic story. James Anderson laid out the first plat in 1833 with the courthouse at its center, and the state legislature recognized the town on December 19, 1834. After the courthouse burned, Mayor John Glover donated the park land in 1848 on condition that it stay a park.
Today Glover Park holds a gazebo, a concert stage, a playground train engine and a three-tier fountain. The Marietta Museum of History occupies the second floor of the Kennesaw House, and the Strand Theatre hosts plays, concerts and classic films. The City of Marietta's Square page lists free and paid downtown parking.
A block west of the Square, CSX freight trains still run on the old Western & Atlantic line between Atlanta and Chattanooga. That railroad made the town a regional base in the 1800s, and business grew around the courthouse. Marietta Square still draws crowds for concerts in Glover Park and evenings at the Strand.
What a Dentist Near Marietta Square Can Do for You
Cosmetic Dentistry
Teeth whitening and porcelain veneers can brighten or reshape a smile for professionals who are on display all day. The dentists start with your goals and the health of each tooth.
Restorative Dentistry
Fillings, crowns and bridges rebuild worn or broken teeth. A CEREC same-day crown can be designed and placed in a single appointment, which saves a second trip from downtown.
Same-Day Dentistry
When a tooth breaks before a big presentation, same-day dental appointments help get it seen quickly. Availability depends on the schedule that day.
General Dentistry
Exams, cleanings and preventive care keep small problems from becoming large ones. These visits fit neatly into an early-morning slot before work.
The office's dental technology includes digital x-rays, the iTero scanner, CBCT 3D imaging and Overjet AI diagnostics. For downtown patients, that means fewer messy impressions and a clear view of what each tooth needs.
New patients coming from Marietta Square have two starting points. The $99 Cleaning, Exam & X-Ray applies to new patients who have no insurance and no periodontal (gum) disease. If a tooth is already bothering you, the $49 Emergency Exam & X-Ray covers a new patient's first look at the problem.

Cosmetic or restorative plans can be financed through CareCredit, Cherry or Sunbit. Patients without coverage can choose the Pure Smiles Club, a yearly membership plan rather than insurance.
Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Pure Smiles Dentistry from Marietta Square, and how do I get there?
Glover Park is about 5 miles from the office, which works out to roughly an 11-minute drive. Leave the Square on Whitlock Avenue and stay on it as it becomes Dallas Highway (GA 120), continuing west to 2655 Dallas Hwy #510. That single road is what makes this a practical dentist near Marietta Square.
Can I book a dental visit after work?
Yes, on Mondays and Wednesdays. The office stays open until 7:00 PM on those two days, which leaves time to finish work downtown and make the drive. On Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays the last hours end at 4:00 PM, and one Saturday a month runs from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM.
Can I get a crown in one visit?
Yes, in many cases. CEREC same-day crowns are designed, milled and placed during a single appointment, so there is no temporary crown and no second trip from downtown. Your dentist first checks that the tooth suits this kind of crown, and an early-morning slot can keep the whole visit before work.
What does your dental warranty cover?
It covers eligible restorations: fillings, crowns, bridges and partials, veneers, implants, root canals, inlays and onlays, dentures and orthodontic retainers. If one needs repair or replacement, that work is done at no cost up to the original treatment value. The one condition is staying current on your hygiene visits, and the warranty is not insurance.
Can I come in for a cleaning if it's been several years?
Yes, a long gap is no reason to stay away. The first visit includes an exam and x-rays so the dentist can see where things stand. If gum disease has developed, periodontal therapy may come before a routine cleaning. New patients without insurance and without gum disease may qualify for the $99 Cleaning, Exam & X-Ray.
