Why Lost Mountain Families Pick Pure Smiles
Lost Mountain is a suburban community in unincorporated Cobb County, roughly 30 miles northwest of Atlanta. Many homes here carry Powder Springs mailing addresses, and neighborhoods such as The Preserve at Lost Mountain and Lost Mountain Woods sit near the main highway. The community takes its name from the mountain itself, tied to a Cherokee legend of a chief's daughter lost in the surrounding woods.
For most residents, Dallas Hwy is the road to everything: school, work, groceries and errands. That makes an office on the same road unusually easy to reach. You do not have to learn a new route or fight across town for a cleaning.
Weekday hours begin at 7:00 AM, and Mondays and Wednesdays run until 7:00 PM. One Saturday a month the office also opens from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Those options matter in a community where evenings often belong to the ballfield.
The area has a long local story. A post office carrying the community's name operated from 1848 to 1902, and in June 1864 the mountain anchored the west end of a Confederate line for about nine days. Today the area is mostly suburban neighborhoods and parkland along GA 120.
Game Days, Busy Schedules and Lost Mountain Smiles
Lost Mountain Park sits at the center of local family life. It has nine softball fields, batting cages, two turf football fields, two fishing ponds, playgrounds and a walking trail. The county park page also lists the Lost Mountain Tennis Center as part of the grounds.
Inside the park, Boots Ward Recreation Center runs an indoor gym, basketball courts, youth leagues and summer camps. With that much play going on, chipped teeth, cracked fillings and jaw bumps are part of growing up here. Knowing where to go before an injury happens takes some of the panic out of the moment.
Students at Lost Mountain Middle on Old Mountain Road and Hillgrove High to the southeast juggle classes with practice nearly every day. Sports drinks and snacks between games can wear on enamel over a season. Regular cleanings give our dentists a chance to catch soft spots before they turn into cavities.
Adults are not immune either. Pickup games and yard work aside, worn fillings and old crowns tend to fail at inconvenient moments. A nearby office means a cracked tooth gets attention quickly instead of waiting for a free afternoon.
Treatments From a Dentist Near Lost Mountain
Emergency Dentistry
A ball to the mouth or a sudden toothache calls for quick help. The office offers same-day emergency appointments for new and existing patients, and new patients can begin with the $49 Emergency Exam & X-Ray.
Root Canal Therapy
A hard hit can injure the nerve inside a tooth. Root canal treatment can save that tooth, and Dr. Graham Kellams counts endodontics among his clinical interests.
Restorative Dentistry
Fillings, crowns and bridges rebuild teeth damaged by decay or injury. CEREC same-day crowns can be designed and placed in a single appointment.
Sedation Dentistry
Some patients feel nervous about dental work, especially after an injury. Sedation and nitrous oxide are both available to help them relax during treatment.
Not every problem starts with a collision. A tooth that throbs at night or aches when you bite down deserves a look, and tooth pain relief visits focus on finding the cause and calming it. Digital x-rays and CBCT 3D imaging help the dentists see what is happening below the surface.
Overjet AI diagnostics add another layer when the dentists review those images. For a parent standing in the exam room with an injured child, that means a clearer picture of the damage and a plan you can understand. Visits start with the problem in front of you, then move on to routine care once things settle down.
Once an urgent problem is handled, the same team can take over routine cleanings and checkups. That way a family does not need one office for emergencies and another for everyday care, which suits a community with so many active kids.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Pure Smiles Dentistry from Lost Mountain, and how do I get there?
Lost Mountain Park is about 4.3 miles from the office, an 8-minute drive in normal conditions. The route is simply Dallas Highway (GA 120) east to 2655 Dallas Hwy #510. Because there is only one road to follow, a dentist near Lost Mountain is easy to reach even for teens who have just started driving.
Do you treat jaw pain and TMJ problems?
Yes, TMJ treatment is one of the services offered at the office. Jaw soreness, clicking or pain when chewing can follow a hard hit, a clenching habit or other causes. A dentist will examine the joint, the bite and the teeth to find what is behind the pain before suggesting a treatment plan.
Can a tooth that was hit hard still be saved?
Often it can, especially when it is checked promptly. A blow can damage the nerve inside a tooth even when the outside looks fine, and root canal therapy can treat that nerve while keeping the tooth. Digital x-rays and CBCT 3D imaging help the dentist judge the damage, and a crown may be added afterward.
Do you offer oral cancer screenings?
Yes. Oral cancer screenings are offered, and the Pure Smiles Club Healthy Gum Plan for patients without insurance includes two a year along with two cleanings and exams. A screening is a quick look at the tongue, cheeks, gums and throat for anything unusual. Mention any mouth sore that has not healed within two weeks.
Do you treat bad breath?
Yes. Halitosis treatment is offered, and it begins with finding the cause, which can range from gum disease to dry mouth or a cavity. Once the dentist knows the source, the plan might include a thorough cleaning, periodontal therapy or a repair. Treating the cause tends to work better than masking the smell with mints.
