GA 120 leaves Paulding as Charles Hardy Parkway and becomes Dallas Hwy once it enters Cobb, where our office sits in West Cobb with a Marietta mailing address. Patients who want a dentist in Dallas, GA residents can reach without a maze of turns will find five dentists, CEREC crowns finished in one appointment and sedation options under one roof.
Begin at Dallas City Hall at 129 East Memorial Drive and head east on Memorial Drive, which continues as Merchants Drive. Turn north-northwest on Macland Road, then join Charles Hardy Parkway (GA 120) heading northeast. Stay on the same highway as it becomes Dallas Hwy and follow it east-northeast to our office at 2655 Dallas Hwy #510, Marietta, GA 30064. The trip is 13.6 miles with no tolls, and our Google Maps listing has the directions ready for your phone.
Patients from the New Hope community to the north and from Hiram to the southeast visit us as well. Expect Dallas Hwy to move more slowly at rush hour.
Why Dallas Patients Make the Trip East
In 1852 a hilltop site with springs near the center of the county was chosen for the town, and 40 acres were bought from pioneer Garrett H. Spinks. The town, now the Paulding County seat, was named for Vice President George Mifflin Dallas and incorporated on February 8, 1854. You can read the full story on the city's history of Dallas page.
The historic courthouse, built in 1892 in the Queen Anne style with a clock tower, still anchors downtown. An early-2000s refurbishment added brick roadways, a large central courtyard and a fountain area near the gazebo. The renovated Dallas Theater on Main Street hosts comedy shows and community events.
Around that historic core, suburban neighborhoods have filled in, and the 2020 census counted 14,042 residents. Pumpkinvine Creek flows through the area, and the Silver Comet Trail has several trailheads nearby. Downtown Atlanta is about 30 miles to the southeast.
For commuters heading east on GA 120, our hours line up with the drive. The first appointments start at 7 AM every weekday, and on Mondays and Wednesdays we stay open until 7 PM. One Saturday a month we also see patients from 8 AM to 3 PM, which helps when a weekday visit simply will not work.
Getting More Done in Fewer Visits: Advice for Dallas Residents
A 13-mile drive is easy once, but nobody wants to repeat it more than necessary. The smartest way to cut trips is to plan care in fewer, fuller visits. When your dentist can handle a crown, a filling and a cleaning in a coordinated plan, the whole family spends less time on GA 120.
CEREC technology is a big part of that. Crowns are designed and made in our office during a single appointment, so there is no temporary crown and no second visit just to seat the final one.
Dental anxiety keeps a lot of adults away for years, and problems grow in the meantime. Sedation dentistry and nitrous oxide help nervous patients relax, which can also make it possible to complete more treatment in one sitting. Your dentist will discuss which option suits your health and the work involved.
For people already missing several teeth, the choice of replacement shapes years of eating and smiling. Traditional dentures, bridges and implant-supported dentures each have trade-offs. Our dentists use CBCT 3D imaging to check the bone and lay out the options side by side.
New patients do not need to commit to a big plan on day one. Those without insurance and without periodontal (gum) disease can begin with the $99 cleaning, exam and x-ray, which gives a clear starting point. If something hurts, the $49 emergency exam and x-ray for new patients is the faster route to answers.
Restorative and Family Care From a Dentist in Dallas, GA Patients Can Count On
Restorative Dentistry
Fillings, crowns and bridges bring damaged teeth back to full function. CEREC same-day crowns save Paulding drivers a second trip. Eligible restorations are covered by our dental warranty while you keep up with hygiene visits.
Dental Implants
Implants replace missing teeth from the root up and help keep the jawbone healthy. Implant-supported dentures attach to implants for a steadier fit than a traditional denture. Planning starts with a CBCT scan.
Sedation Dentistry
Sedation options help anxious patients get through treatment calmly. Longer visits become more manageable, which means fewer return trips. Your dentist reviews your health history first.
Pediatric Dentistry
Children get checkups and cleanings in a relaxed setting. Our dentists explain each step so young patients feel at ease. Uninsured children 13 and younger can join the Kid's Healthy Gum Plan at $249 a year.
Behind each of these services is the same diagnostic toolkit. Digital x-rays, the iTero scanner and Overjet AI software help our dentists spot problems early and explain them clearly on screen. Seeing the image yourself makes it much easier to decide what to treat now and what can wait.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Pure Smiles Dentistry from Dallas, and how do I get there?
The office is 13.6 miles from Dallas City Hall, about a 22-minute drive. Take Memorial Drive and Merchants Drive east, Macland Road north, then GA 120 northeast as Charles Hardy Parkway turns into Dallas Hwy. For a dentist in Dallas, GA drivers can reach on one highway, there are no tolls along the way.
Can sedation help if dental anxiety has kept me away for years?
Yes. Sedation dentistry and nitrous oxide are both available to help anxious patients relax during treatment. Our dentists start with a conversation about your worries and health history, then recommend the option that fits. Many patients who have avoided care find that a calmer first visit makes it easier to keep coming back.
Can I switch from regular dentures to implants?
Many denture wearers can move to implant-supported dentures, which attach to implants in the jaw and stay steadier while you eat and talk. Bone can shrink after years without teeth, so our dentists start with a CBCT 3D scan to see how much support is available. We then explain the steps and costs involved.
How do I know if I need a crown or just a filling?
It comes down to how much healthy tooth is left. A filling repairs a smaller area of decay or damage, while a crown covers and protects a tooth that is badly broken, heavily filled or treated with a root canal. Your dentist will show you the x-rays and explain why one fits better.
At what age should my child have a first dental visit?
Plan a first visit by the first birthday, or within six months of the first tooth appearing. Early visits are short and mostly about getting comfortable, checking how teeth are coming in and coaching parents on brushing. Starting young helps children see the dentist as a routine part of growing up.
