Convenient Access from Conyers
Plan on about 28 minutes to reach Atlanta Dental Team from the library near Olde Town Conyers, and none of it is on the interstate. Patients who want a dentist Conyers, GA residents can reach on back roads heading north will find our Snellville office on US-78, west of downtown Snellville in Gwinnett. Because the drive is a real commitment, the care that brings most people this far, such as implants, crowns and gum treatment, deserves careful planning.
From the Nancy Guinn Memorial Library at 864 Green Street, take Green Street and Main Street north, then Irwin Bridge Road, Humphries Road and Norris Lake Road toward the county line. Turn north on SR 124 (Centerville Highway), bear onto SR 264, which starts as Bethesda Church Road and becomes Bethany Church Road, and follow it to US-78. The 15.2-mile drive ends at 3931 US-78 A, Snellville, GA 30039, on the north side of the divided highway by Monterey Drive, about 0.2 mile east of the Bethany Church Road crossroads. Open the office on Google Maps before you leave, and see our pages for Centerville and Loganville, two communities along the way north and east.
Why Some Conyers Patients Head North for Dental Care
Conyers is the seat of Rockdale County and its commercial and government hub, with I-20 carrying many residents west toward Atlanta every day. Plenty of households, though, have routines that pull them north into Gwinnett for work, shopping or family. For them, a dental office just off Bethany Church Road sits on a familiar path. The Nancy Guinn Memorial Library on Green Street, run by the Conyers-Rockdale Library System, sits near Olde Town and makes an easy place to begin the drive north.
Others come for a specific reason: a second opinion on a crown or implant plan, a root canal they have been putting off, or gums that need more attention than a quick cleaning. Those are exactly the cases where a thorough exam and good imaging matter more than the shortest drive.
If another office has already proposed a plan, bring any recent X-rays and the written estimate to your visit. Comparing the two side by side makes the conversation faster and clearer. A second set of eyes can confirm the plan or suggest a more conservative route.
Conyers has plenty of well-known places of its own, from Olde Town to the Georgia International Horse Park, which hosted equestrian events at the 1996 Olympic Games, and the Monastery of the Holy Spirit, founded in 1944. Residents who know those spots also tend to know SR 124 heading north, the backbone of the drive to our office.
What Conyers Residents Should Know About Planning Bigger Treatment
When a tooth is missing or badly broken, the choices can feel overwhelming. A single implant, a bridge, a crown or a removable option each has trade-offs in cost, time and long-term maintenance. Sorting those out starts with an accurate picture of the tooth, the bone and the bite.
That is where imaging helps. Our office uses CBCT (cone beam computed tomography), which produces a 3D view of the teeth, jawbone, nerves and surrounding structures. Details on CBCT and digital X-rays are on our advanced technology page.
A 3D scan shows how much bone is available for an implant and where the nerves run. With that information, the dentist can map placement, healing time and the final restoration before treatment starts, so a patient from Conyers knows the full sequence before anything begins.
Many damaged teeth can still be saved. A cracked or heavily filled tooth may only need a crown, and our dental crowns page explains how a crown covers and strengthens what is left. An infected tooth may be a candidate for root canal therapy rather than removal.
When several teeth are missing, dentures remain a practical answer. Full, partial and implant-supported dentures are all offered, and implant support can help a denture stay steadier while chewing. Conyers patients weighing those options can see each one explained during a consultation.
Wisdom teeth are a separate conversation, often for older teens and young adults. A tooth that is impacted, partly erupted or crowding its neighbors may need to come out. Simple and surgical extractions are both performed here, with comfort and anesthesia options and a plan for healing.
Treatment Options from a Dentist Conyers, GA Patients Can Trust
Dental Implants
Single-tooth and full-arch implants replace missing teeth with a stable foundation. Placement, healing, bone health and implant-supported crowns, bridges or dentures are all planned with CBCT imaging.
Restorative Dentistry
Fillings, crowns and repairs restore teeth after decay or trauma and bring the bite back into balance. Teeth with large old fillings or cracks often do better with a crown than with another patch.
Root Canal Therapy
When infection reaches the inside of a tooth, root canal therapy can save it. A crown afterward protects the treated tooth, and retreatment is available for older root canals that have failed.
Periodontal Treatment
Gum disease moves through stages, and treatment matches the stage. Scaling and root planing, periodontal maintenance and, when needed, surgical options help control inflammation and infection.
Tooth Extractions
Simple and surgical extractions, including wisdom teeth, come with comfort and anesthesia options. The plan also covers bone preservation and how to replace the tooth afterward.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Atlanta Dental Team from Conyers, and how do I get there?
Expect about 15.2 miles and roughly 28 minutes from the Nancy Guinn Memorial Library. Local roads lead north to SR 124 (Centerville Highway), then SR 264 (Bethany Church Road) runs up to US-78 at the office. For anyone weighing a dentist Conyers, GA traffic on I-20 never touches, the whole trip stays on surface roads.
Am I a good candidate for dental implants?
Many adults with one or more missing teeth are candidates, provided their gums are healthy and there is enough jawbone to support the implant. CBCT imaging shows bone height, width and nerve position in 3D. If bone is thin, other replacement options such as a bridge or implant-supported denture may be discussed during planning.
Will I be awake for a tooth extraction?
Most patients stay awake for a simple extraction, with local anesthesia numbing the area so they feel pressure rather than pain. Comfort and anesthesia options are discussed beforehand, and sedation is available for anxious patients, ranging from mild relaxation to deeper sedation. Surgical extractions and wisdom teeth follow the same planning, after a review of your medical history.
How is gum disease treated?
Treatment depends on the stage, starting with a deep cleaning called scaling and root planing to remove tartar and bacteria below the gumline. Regular periodontal maintenance visits follow to keep inflammation under control. More advanced cases may need surgical options. Healthy gums also support overall wellness, which is why early treatment matters.
What appointment time makes the drive from Conyers easiest?
A mid-morning or early-afternoon appointment usually makes the drive easiest. The office is open Tuesday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM, and rush hour adds time on SR 124 and US-78. Leaving a few minutes early also covers any wait at the signals near Snellville.
