Convenient Access from Redan
Atlanta Dental Team welcomes patients from Redan to our office on Memorial Drive in Stone Mountain, a drive of roughly 14 minutes up Hairston Road. Anyone comparing options for a dentist near Redan will find three dentists, preventive and cosmetic care, and sedation options for nervous patients under one roof. The route stays on local roads the whole way.
Begin at the Redan-Trotti Library on Wellborn Road and follow Wellborn briefly to South Stone Mountain-Lithonia Road, then turn west on Redan Road. At South Hairston Road, head north; it becomes North Hairston Road as it climbs toward Memorial Drive. Turn left onto Memorial Drive and continue west to 5462 Memorial Dr Ste 103, Stone Mountain, GA 30083, on your right. Count on about 7.8 miles and 14 minutes, and view the office on Google Maps for turn-by-turn directions.

A Practice That Fits Life in Redan
Redan is a census-designated place in unincorporated DeKalb County, a fully built-out suburb east of Atlanta. Addresses here carry either a Lithonia or a Stone Mountain mailing name, which surprises newcomers. Part of the old Redan area, including Lithonia High School, now sits inside the City of Stonecrest.
It is a relatively young community, and schools are everywhere you look. Redan High School anchors the area, and elementary schools such as Woodridge and Shadow Rock serve the surrounding streets. For parents, that means a steady stream of checkups, cleanings and the occasional sports-related chipped tooth.
The libraries matter here too. The Redan-Trotti Library offers teen and youth areas, meeting rooms and Chromebook and hotspot lending, and the Hairston Crossing branch also serves the community. A family that already drives Hairston Road for errands can add a dental visit to the same trip.
The drive itself is simple. Hairston Road is the long north-south connector on this side of the county, and it delivers you almost directly to Memorial Drive. There is no interstate to merge onto and no toll to pay, though rush hour adds time at the busier lights.
Comfort, Confidence and Care for Redan Residents
Plenty of adults avoid the dentist because an earlier visit went badly. That avoidance tends to turn a small cavity into a bigger repair. Our sedation options range from mild relaxation to deeper, dream-like sedation, and each plan begins with a review of your medical history, with monitoring throughout treatment.
Younger adults here often focus on appearance as much as health. Teeth darken over time from coffee, tea and everyday foods, and chips along the front edges catch the light in photos. Our Zoom® Whitening page explains a professional whitening treatment performed in the office.
Jaw trouble is another common complaint. Clenching during stressful weeks, grinding at night, or a jaw that clicks when you chew can all point to TMJ problems. Muscle tension and joint strain often show up as headaches or sore cheeks long before anyone suspects the teeth.
Missing teeth deserve attention too. A gap left after an extraction lets neighboring teeth drift and makes chewing on that side harder. Dental implants offer a durable, long-term replacement, and CBCT 3D imaging lets our dentists plan the placement with a full view of the jaw.
For kids and teens, the basics carry the most weight. Twice-yearly cleanings, a good brushing routine and quick attention to a chipped tooth after practice or a game prevent most bigger problems. Starting those habits early makes adult dental care far simpler.
Every new relationship starts with a thorough look. The oral exams page describes what our dentists check, and new patients can book the $79.99 comprehensive exam and x-rays. That visit includes an oral health exam plus all standard x-rays.
Dental Services Chosen by Patients Seeking a Dentist Near Redan
Preventative Dentistry
Routine evaluations and professional cleanings catch decay and gum problems early. Parents can schedule their own visits alongside the kids' checkups.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Whitening, bonding and veneers enhance a smile while keeping it natural-looking. They suit anyone preparing for a wedding, graduation or job interview.
Sedation Dentistry
Levels of sedation, from mild relaxation to a deeper, dream-like state, help anxious patients get through treatment. Your medical history guides the choice.
TMJ Treatment
Jaw pain, tension and joint or muscle problems get a careful evaluation. Relief can make chewing, talking and sleeping more comfortable again.
Dental Implants
An implant replaces a missing tooth with a durable, long-term option. It is a strong choice for adults who have lived with a gap or a loose partial for too long.
Patients from Redan who are unsure where to begin can simply book an exam. The exam and x-rays show what needs attention now and what can safely wait, so you can plan treatment around work and family.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Atlanta Dental Team from Redan, and how do I get there?
Expect about 7.8 miles and 14 minutes from the library on Wellborn Road. The drive follows Redan Road west, South and North Hairston Road north, then Memorial Drive west to the office. Families who want a dentist near Redan without highway driving can make the whole trip on these local roads.
Will I be awake if I choose sedation?
That depends on the level of sedation. Milder levels leave you relaxed but aware, while deeper sedation creates a dream-like state during treatment. Our dentists review your medical history first and monitor you throughout, so the level matches both your health and the procedure planned.
Can a missing back tooth cause my other teeth to shift?
Yes, teeth next to a gap tend to tip or drift into the space over time. The tooth above or below can also move toward the gap, which changes your bite. Replacing the missing tooth with an implant, bridge or partial helps keep the remaining teeth where they belong.
What causes my jaw to click when I chew?
Jaw clicking usually comes from the joint or the disc inside it moving out of its normal path. Clenching, grinding and muscle tension often play a part. Clicking alone is not always a problem, but pain, locking or trouble opening wide are reasons to have an evaluation for TMJ problems.
Does professional whitening work better than store-bought strips?
Professional whitening usually works faster and more evenly than store strips. Zoom® Whitening is an in-office treatment, so it is done in the dental chair rather than at home. It works on natural teeth, not on crowns or fillings, which is worth knowing if you have front-tooth restorations.
