From Kennesaw City Hall on J O Stephenson Avenue, take Dallas Street to Watts Drive and go straight through the roundabout.

A Practical Choice for Kennesaw Students and Young Households
Kennesaw counted 33,036 residents in the 2020 census, after a decade of steady growth. The city covers roughly 9.5 square miles in the northwest part of Cobb County, with I-75 just to the northeast and Cobb Parkway running through town. Kennesaw State University, Georgia's third-largest public university, sits next door.
That mix gives the city a relatively young population. Students, recent graduates and couples starting out are a big part of the community. Anyone between insurance plans, or without one, benefits from clear new-patient pricing and a membership option.
Weekday hours start at 7:00 AM, so a cleaning can come before a morning class or shift. Mondays and Wednesdays run until 7:00 PM for anyone with daytime lectures or a full workday. There is also one Saturday a month, open from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM.
South of the city, Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park spreads across 2,923 acres with 17.3 miles of trails. The visitor center is at 900 Kennesaw Mountain Drive, and the park stretches between the city and Marietta. A morning hike there pairs well with an afternoon checkup.
Dental Know-How for Kennesaw Residents on a Budget
Skipping the dentist to save money usually costs more later. A small cavity that could have been a simple filling can grow into a root canal or a crown. Preventive visits usually cost far less than the repairs they help you avoid.
For new patients without insurance and without periodontal (gum) disease, the $99 Cleaning, Exam & X-Ray is a low-cost way to get a baseline. After that, the Pure Smiles Club Healthy Gum Plan costs $399 a year and covers two cleanings and exams, two oral cancer screenings, needed x-rays and one emergency exam. It has no yearly maximum, deductible or waiting period.
Off-campus life brings its own habits. Late study nights, energy drinks and constant snacking all put teeth to the test. Keeping a regular checkup schedule helps the dentists catch problems before they start to hurt.
Kennesaw has plenty to do between appointments. The Southern Museum of Civil War and Locomotive History, a Smithsonian Affiliate, displays the locomotive General from the 1862 Great Locomotive Chase. Swift-Cantrell Park offers a splash pad and the Frank Boone Dog Park, and Smith-Gilbert Gardens features plants and original sculpture.
The town was known as Big Shanty, after camps for Western & Atlantic Railroad workers, before its charter as Kennesaw in 1887. Its name traces to the Cherokee word Ganisahv. Details on city parks and services are on the City of Kennesaw website.

Emergency Dentistry
A cracked tooth during finals week is stressful enough. The office offers same-day emergency appointments for new and existing patients, and a new patient's first emergency exam with x-rays is $49.

A deep cavity or infection does not always mean losing the tooth. Root canal treatment removes the damaged nerve, and root canal retreatment is available when an older treatment needs attention.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Pure Smiles Dentistry from Kennesaw, and how do I get there?
From Kennesaw City Hall the office is about 7.1 miles away, a drive of around 14 minutes. The route uses Cobb Parkway, Old 41 Highway, Barrett Parkway and Dallas Highway to reach 2655 Dallas Hwy #510. Anyone looking for a dentist in Kennesaw, GA with early and evening hours will find the trip manageable.
Can I combine the Pure Smiles Club with the $99 new-patient offer?
No, the Pure Smiles Club cannot be combined with other offers. You can choose the $99 Cleaning, Exam & X-Ray as a new patient without insurance or gum disease, or join the Healthy Gum Plan at $399 a year. The front desk can help you decide which option covers more of what you need.
Can a root canal be redone if the first one fails?
Yes. Root canal retreatment is offered for teeth whose earlier root canal has become painful or infected again. The dentist reopens the tooth, cleans the canals and seals them a second time. Digital x-rays and CBCT 3D imaging help show whether retreatment is the right choice or whether another option makes more sense.
Do you see college students who don't have dental insurance?
Yes. Students without coverage have several options: the $99 new-patient Cleaning, Exam & X-Ray for those without gum disease, the Pure Smiles Club membership, or financing through CareCredit, Cherry or Sunbit. Monday and Wednesday hours until 7:00 PM also make it easier to book around a class schedule.
What should I do if a crown comes off?
Call the office and keep the crown in a safe place, since it can sometimes be checked and recemented. Avoid chewing on that side until you are seen. If the crown cannot be reused, a new CEREC same-day crown can often be made in a single appointment, and new patients can start with the $49 emergency exam.
