Convenient Access from Stonecrest
Stonecrest City Hall sits about 24 minutes from Atlanta Dental Team, a drive northwest along Klondike Rd, Covington Hwy and Hairston Rd to Memorial Drive in Stone Mountain. If you are searching for a dentist Stonecrest, GA households can rely on, our three dentists offer checkups, SureSmile® clear aligners, extractions and sedation options in one office.
From Stonecrest City Hall on Stonecrest Blvd, follow Mall Pkwy around the mall and turn north onto Klondike Rd, the road that also carries the city's library branch. Klondike Rd meets Covington Hwy (US 278); head west, then turn north on S Hairston Rd and stay with it as it becomes N Hairston Rd.
At Memorial Dr, turn left and continue west about 1.2 miles to 5462 Memorial Dr Ste 103, Stone Mountain, GA 30083, on the north side just past the Village Square Dr signal. The full trip is 13.8 miles, and rush hour adds time. Some drivers prefer I-20 west to I-285 north and then Memorial Dr east instead. Neighbors in Lithonia and Redan come in along parts of the same Hairston Rd route.
A Young City Deserves a Dependable Dental Home
The City of Stonecrest was incorporated in 2017, which makes it a young city in DeKalb County. It fills the county's southeastern corner, with I-20 running through it and Rockdale and Henry counties just beyond its edges. Because the city is so young, some addresses still carry an older Lithonia mailing city.
The commercial heart sits at The Mall at Stonecrest by I-20 exit 75, a short distance from City Hall. Within the city limits, the Davidson-Arabia Mountain Nature Preserve spreads across exposed granite, wetlands and pine forest, while the Flat Rock Archives keeps local African American history in view.
Atlanta Dental Team has served eastern DeKalb for more than three decades, long before Stonecrest had its own name. Our hours run Monday through Thursday, 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with the office closed on Fridays. Early-week appointments give busy families a predictable rhythm.
Klondike Rd is home to the Stonecrest Library, which offers a Technology Training Center, a cafe and an auditorium. That same road carries the drive north toward our office, so a dental visit can start from a familiar stretch of town.
Stonecrest Teens, Busy Parents and the Dental Years Ahead
Three DeKalb high schools sit inside the city: Arabia Mountain, Lithonia and Miller Grove. Families with teens here are squarely in the years when crowded teeth, wisdom teeth and sports injuries all show up at once. A plan that handles each in the right order saves time and money.
Orthodontic questions usually come first. SureSmile® for teens uses clear, removable trays instead of brackets, so school photos, band concerts and practice all go on as usual. Aligners come out for meals, which also makes brushing and flossing easier than with braces.
Wisdom teeth tend to follow in the late teens. Not every set needs to come out, but teeth that are trapped, crowding their neighbors or hard to clean often do. Digital x-rays let your dentist track how they are developing over a few checkups, so the decision is based on images rather than guesswork.
Parents have their own list: a crown that needs replacing, gums that bleed, or a long-postponed cleaning. Pairing a parent's visit with a teen's checkup cuts down on separate trips.
Sports bring their own risks, from chipped front teeth to a tooth knocked loose on the court. When that happens, call right away, because a tooth treated quickly has the best chance of being saved. We work to provide same-day emergency care whenever possible.
A well-fitted mouthguard greatly lowers the risk of those injuries, especially in football, basketball and wrestling. Teens finishing SureSmile® treatment should also wear their retainers as directed, because teeth drift back without them. Those two habits protect years of investment in a healthy, straight smile.
Services Built Around Teens: Dentist Stonecrest, GA Care
SureSmile®
Clear aligners planned with digital tools move teeth gradually and come out for eating, brushing and flossing. Stonecrest teens and adults alike can straighten their smiles without metal.
Tooth Extractions
When a tooth cannot be preserved, careful planning and attention to comfort guide the extraction. That includes wisdom teeth that are crowding or causing pain.
Sedation Dentistry
Levels range from mild relaxation to deeper, dream-like sedation, chosen after a review of your medical history. It helps anxious patients get through extractions and longer visits.
Preventative Dentistry
Routine evaluations, professional cleanings and early detection are the foundation of every plan. Regular visits keep a growing Stonecrest household ahead of small problems.
Dental Implants
Implants are a durable, long-term replacement for a missing tooth. For parents who lost a molar years ago, an implant restores chewing on that side without reshaping the neighboring teeth.
New patients can read about what to expect at your first visit before they arrive. The $79.99 comprehensive exam and x-rays gives every new patient a full starting picture, and treatment can then be planned around school calendars and work schedules.
Meet Our Dentists
Dr. Peter Dinh owns the practice and leads with empathy, integrity and a patient-first mindset. Dr. Kim, who has cared for patients from many different backgrounds, and Dr. Arzu Malik complete the team of three general dentists.
Insurance & Financing
We work with most dental insurance carriers, including Ameritas, Sun Life and Dominion National. Aligners and extractions can be paid over time with Sunbit or CareCredit, and money orders and checks are accepted as well.
Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Atlanta Dental Team from Stonecrest, and how do I get there?
Plan on about 24 minutes for the 13.8-mile drive from Stonecrest City Hall. The route follows Mall Pkwy and Klondike Rd to Covington Hwy, then Hairston Rd north to Memorial Dr. Anyone who prefers a dentist Stonecrest, GA drivers get to on surface streets can skip I-20 entirely.
Will my teen need a retainer after clear aligners?
Yes, nearly every patient needs a retainer once aligner treatment ends. Teeth tend to drift back toward their old positions, especially in the first year. Most teens wear a retainer nightly for the long term, and keeping that habit protects the time and money already invested in straightening.
Do wisdom teeth always need to come out?
No, wisdom teeth that grow in straight, fit the jaw and can be cleaned well can stay. Removal is usually recommended when they are trapped under the gum, pushing on other teeth, decaying or repeatedly inflamed. Periodic x-rays show how they are developing, which helps time any extraction before problems start.
Is sedation safe for wisdom tooth removal?
For most healthy patients, yes, when it is planned and monitored. Your dentist reviews your medical history and medications before choosing a level, which can range from mild relaxation to deeper, dream-like sedation. Plan for a responsible adult to drive you home and stay with you for the rest of the day.
Do you accept Ameritas or Sun Life dental insurance?
Yes, both Ameritas and Sun Life are on our list of accepted dental insurance carriers. We also take most other major plans. Patients without coverage can start with the $79.99 comprehensive exam and x-rays for new patients, then use Sunbit or CareCredit financing for any treatment that follows.
