Convenient Access from Centerville
Few communities sit closer to Atlanta Dental Team than Centerville: most drives take about 6 minutes. If you need a dentist near Centerville for a sore tooth, a gum problem or a long-overdue cleaning, our Snellville office on US-78 is a short run north. That closeness matters most when treatment takes more than one visit.
Begin at the Centerville Branch library at 3025 Bethany Church Road and drive north on Bethany Church Road (SR 264), which covers most of the 2.8-mile trip. At the Killian Hill Road crossroads, turn east onto US-78; our office at 3931 US-78 A, Snellville, GA 30039 is a short distance past the intersection on the north side of the highway, just before the Lidl supermarket. Pull up our Google Maps listing for directions from your own street. Patients also come to us from Mountain Park and Five Forks, north of the highway.
Close to Home for Centerville Residents
Centerville is an unincorporated community in Gwinnett County, centered where Centerville Highway (SR 124) and Bethany Church Road (SR 264) meet. Many homes there use Snellville mailing addresses, and subdivisions such as Quinn Ridge, Twin Village, Mountain Cove and Laurel Creek spread out around the library. Because SR 264 runs straight up to US-78, reaching us never means crossing downtown Snellville.
Short trips change how people handle dental care. A follow-up after a root canal, a crown fitting or a gum check is easier to keep when the office is minutes away instead of across the county. Patients who skip fewer follow-ups tend to finish treatment on schedule, and small problems stay small.
A new-patient exam is where a plan starts. Our dentists review your health history, take any digital X-rays they need and check each tooth, your gums and your bite. If something needs work, they explain the options, the order of treatment and how your insurance applies, so you can decide without pressure.
We keep office hours Tuesday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM. For households this close, a lunch-hour cleaning or an afternoon exam can fit around work, school pickup or an errand on US-78.
What Centerville Adults Should Know About Gums, Infections and Missing Teeth
Gum disease often starts quietly. Bleeding when you brush, puffy or tender gums and stubborn bad breath are early signals, and many adults put them off for years. Treated early, inflammation usually responds to a thorough cleaning; left alone, it can reach the bone that holds teeth in place.
A tooth that throbs, reacts to heat or swells along the gumline may be infected. Root canal therapy removes the infection and lets you keep your natural tooth, which is usually worth trying before an extraction. Most treated back teeth then need a dental crown to protect them from cracking.
When a tooth is already gone, the gap affects chewing and lets neighboring teeth drift. Dental implants replace a single tooth or a full arch, and our office uses CBCT imaging to see the jawbone, nerves and surrounding structures in 3D while planning placement. That view helps our dentists decide whether the bone can support an implant before treatment begins.
Implants are not the only way to fill a gap. A fixed bridge anchors a replacement tooth to its neighbors, and full or partial dentures replace several teeth at once, including versions that clip onto implants for extra stability. The right choice depends on your bone, your budget and how many teeth are missing.
Daily habits still decide most outcomes. Brushing twice a day, cleaning between teeth once a day and cutting back on sipped sugary drinks protect both gums and fillings. Patients who smoke, have diabetes or take medicines that dry the mouth face higher gum and decay risk, so it helps to mention those at your visit.
Nervous patients have options here. Sedation at our office runs from mild relaxation to deeper sedation, chosen only after our dentists go over your medical history. It can also make a strong gag reflex, sensitive teeth or a long appointment easier to manage.
If a tooth breaks or swells before you can get in, rinse gently, save any broken pieces and hold a cold compress against the cheek. Skip home remedies such as placing aspirin on the gum, which can irritate the tissue. Then call the office so our team can prioritize the visit.
The area is also school-centered, with Centerville Elementary on Centerville Highway, Partee Elementary on Campbell Road and Shiloh Middle and Shiloh High on Shiloh Road. Parents who look after their own teeth set the pattern for their kids, so we see children and teens here too.
Treatment Close By: Your Dentist Near Centerville
Periodontal Treatment
From early gum inflammation to advanced disease, care can include scaling and root planing, ongoing periodontal maintenance and, when needed, surgical options. Healthy gums also support whole-body wellness, a good reason for Centerville adults to address bleeding early.
Root Canal Therapy
When infection reaches the inside of a tooth, a root canal can save it rather than lose it. We also handle retreatment of older root canals and protect finished teeth with crowns.
Dental Implants
Single-tooth and full-arch implants restore chewing and keep the bite stable. Implant-supported crowns, bridges and dentures are all options, planned around your bone health.
Emergency Dental Treatment
A sudden toothache, facial swelling or a broken tooth needs attention, and urgent problems are prioritized. Coming up SR 264, the drive is one of the shortest we see.
Preventative Dentistry
Routine exams, professional cleanings and plaque control catch trouble early for adults and kids alike. A thorough oral exam also includes oral cancer, bite and gum screening.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Atlanta Dental Team from Centerville, and how do I get there?
We are about 2.8 miles from the Centerville Branch library, roughly a 6-minute drive. Take Bethany Church Road (SR 264) north to US-78, then turn east to 3931 US-78 A. For anyone choosing a dentist near Centerville, that short trip makes repeat visits for crowns, gum care or implants much easier to keep.
Can an infected tooth be saved, or does it have to be pulled?
Many infected teeth can be saved with root canal therapy. The dentist removes the infected tissue inside the tooth, seals it, and usually protects it with a crown. Extraction is still an option when a tooth is too damaged to restore, and our dentists will explain both paths after an exam and X-rays.
What are the early signs of gum disease?
Bleeding when you brush or floss is the most common early sign. Red, puffy or tender gums, persistent bad breath, gums pulling away from the teeth and teeth that feel loose can follow. Early gum disease often responds well to cleaning and better home care, so a checkup is worth booking as soon as you notice changes.
Do you see children and teenagers, or only adults?
Yes, we treat children, teens and adults. Preventive care for young patients includes exams, cleanings, sealants and coaching on brushing at home. Centerville parents can keep the whole family at one practice, and teens with crowded or gapped teeth can be evaluated for SureSmile® clear aligners during a regular visit.
What days and hours is your office open?
We are open Tuesday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM. Since the drive from Centerville is only a few minutes, a late-morning or mid-afternoon visit can slot in around work and school. Call the new-patient line to pick a time, and keep your insurance card handy so our team can check your benefits.
