Convenient Access from Powder Springs
A cracked molar or a lost filling shouldn't mean waiting a week, and Pure Smiles Dentistry is only about 17 minutes north of downtown Powder Springs. Residents weighing a dentist in Powder Springs, GA against a short drive will find our office on Dallas Hwy in West Cobb, under a Marietta mailing address. Five dentists practice here, and same-day emergency appointments are offered to new and existing patients.
From Powder Springs City Hall on Pineview Drive, follow Marietta Street southeast and turn north onto New Macland Road. Jog briefly east on Macland Road (GA 360), then take Villa Rica Road north and northeast to Barrett Parkway. Head east on Barrett Parkway and turn onto Dallas Hwy (GA 120) for the final stretch to the office. Expect about 9.2 miles in all, with no tolls.
The office address is 2655 Dallas Hwy #510, Marietta, GA 30064, and the listing on Google Maps gives turn-by-turn directions from your door. City Hall sits beside Thurman Springs Park, one of the downtown Powder Springs parks with direct Silver Comet Trail access. Patients in Macland and Austell share much of this side of Cobb with you.
Rooted in Powder Springs, Ready for Busy Families
Powder Springs started out as Springville in 1838 and took its current name in 1859, after seven mineral springs whose water turned the sand black like gunpowder. The Seven Springs Museum keeps that story alive downtown. Today this southwest Cobb County city is home to 16,887 residents, according to the 2020 census, with a historic center surrounded by suburban subdivisions.
Students here attend McEachern or Hillgrove high school, and Walter H. Cantrell Stadium seats 12,000 for big games. Add the Silver Comet Trail, a skatepark and the paved paths at Powder Springs Park on Brownsville Road, and you have a community that stays on the move. An active town needs a dental office that can handle the occasional sports injury as well as routine care.
Our hours start at 7 AM every weekday and run until 7 PM on Mondays and Wednesdays. One Saturday a month the office opens from 8 AM to 3 PM. Families from nearby Hiram and Austell use the same schedule options when they visit.
Uninsured children 13 and younger can join the Kid's Healthy Gum Plan for $249 a year, which makes regular checkups easier to budget. New patients without insurance and without gum disease can also start with a $99 cleaning, exam and x-ray. Either route gets a family on a steady schedule before small problems grow.
Active Powder Springs Lifestyles and Your Teeth
Skateboards, bike rides on the Silver Comet and high school contact sports all put front teeth at risk. A chipped or cracked tooth may look minor, yet a crack can reach the nerve and cause trouble later. Prompt tooth pain relief and an exam help us decide whether a filling, crown or root canal is the right repair.
When a tooth needs a crown, time matters for working parents and student athletes alike. Our CEREC same-day crowns are designed, milled and placed in a single appointment, so there is no temporary crown and no second visit. Dr. Graham Kellams has a particular interest in digital CAD/CAM dentistry, the technology behind CEREC.
Adults dealing with a missing tooth have options, too. Dental implants replace the root as well as the visible tooth, and the office's CBCT 3D imaging gives our dentists a detailed view of the bone. Eligible restorations, including implants and crowns, are covered by our dental warranty as long as you stay current on hygiene visits.
A few habits lower the odds of an emergency in the first place. Wear a properly fitted mouthguard for contact sports and skating, skip chewing ice and hard candy, and don't use your teeth to open packages. If a tooth does break, save any pieces, rinse gently with water and call us right away.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Pure Smiles Dentistry from Powder Springs, and how do I get there?
It is about 9.2 miles from Powder Springs City Hall to our office, or roughly 17 minutes. You'll take New Macland Road, Macland Road, Villa Rica Road and Barrett Parkway before turning onto Dallas Hwy (GA 120). Anyone looking at a dentist in Powder Springs, GA can make the drive without tolls.
How do I protect my teeth during contact sports?
Wear a mouthguard every time you play football, basketball, soccer or any sport with contact or hard falls. A guard that fits well stays in place and lets you breathe and talk. Bring it to your checkups so our dentists can look at the fit, and replace it once it is torn, chewed through or no longer snug.
Is a cracked tooth a dental emergency?
Usually, yes, especially if it hurts when you bite or reacts to hot and cold. A crack can spread and reach the nerve, so the sooner it is treated, the more likely a simple repair will work. Same-day emergency appointments are available for new and existing patients when a tooth breaks.
What can I do for a toothache until my appointment?
Rinse with warm salt water, floss gently to clear anything stuck between teeth and take an over-the-counter pain reliever as the label directs. A cold compress on the cheek can ease swelling. Never put aspirin directly on the gums. Facial swelling, fever or trouble swallowing needs prompt care, so call the office right away.
Should I leave extra time for a 7 AM appointment?
Yes, a few extra minutes help, because Barrett Parkway and Dallas Hwy get busier at rush hour. Leaving a little early means you can check in calmly and start on time. A mid-morning visit or a Monday or Wednesday evening slot is another way to avoid the busiest drive times.
