Vibrant Smiles is the family-owned dental office that Austell residents drive to when they want a single practice for the whole household. Our office sits just east of Austell along Floyd Road, just a short trip from most Austell neighborhoods.
Austell sits along Sweetwater Creek and grew up around the textile mills near the railroad. Today, families here juggle work in Smyrna, Atlanta, and around Six Flags, and they want a dentist who respects their schedule. Austell residents tell us the short drive to our Mableton office is easier than fighting traffic into Smyrna or Atlanta for routine cleanings, implants, or cosmetic work.

Meet Your Dentist, Dr. Chea Rainford, DMD
Dr. Chea Rainford has practiced dentistry in Georgia for over 15 years. He earned his Bachelor of Science in Chemistry at the University of West Georgia, with a minor in Biology, before completing his Doctorate of Medical Dentistry at The Medical College of Georgia School of Dentistry in Augusta. He has also completed post-graduate training in prosthodontics, orthodontics, periodontics, and endodontics, which means many cases that get referred out at other offices stay under one roof here.
Outside the office, Dr. Rainford spends his time with his wife and young daughter, follows the Falcons and Braves closely, and is active with his local church and several charities. He still plays soccer and cricket on his days off, which probably explains why he is so patient with kids who fidget during their checkups.

What to Expect On Your First Visit
When you walk in, our front-desk team will check you in and take you back without a long wait. We block extra time for first appointments because rushing through a new patient is the fastest way to miss something. Here is the typical flow:
- A short conversation about your medical history, dental history, and what brought you in
- Low-radiation digital X-rays if you are due for them
- An exam by Dr. Rainford and an oral cancer screening
- A professional cleaning, unless we need to address something else first
- A clear walk-through of any issues we find, with a written treatment plan that includes pricing
If you have insurance, we will run an estimate before you leave so you know what is covered. If you do not have insurance, we will explain your options, including our in-house Friends and Family Membership Plan and the patient financing options we offer.
Getting to Our Office From Austell
Vibrant Smiles is located just east of Austell along Floyd Road, at 5015 Floyd Road SW, Suite 530, in Mableton. Most Austell patients reach us via Floyd Road or Bankhead Highway. The drive is roughly 10 to 15 minutes depending on the time of day, and parking is available right at the building.
If you have driven past landmarks like Six Flags Over Georgia, Sweetwater Creek State Park nearby, the historic Threadmill Complex, you are already in our service area. Many of our Austell patients tell us the drive is the easy part because traffic on the East-West Connector and Floyd Road moves more freely than the I-285 corridor closer to Atlanta.

Frequently Asked Questions for Austell Patients
How far is Vibrant Smiles from Austell?
A: Our office is on Floyd Road in Mableton, about 10 to 15 minutes east of most Austell neighborhoods. Patients coming from the Six Flags area, downtown Austell, or the Threadmill Complex usually take Bankhead Highway or Floyd Road straight in.
Do you accept my dental insurance?
A: We are in-network with most major PPO dental insurance plans, including many of the carriers that cover Austell residents through Cobb County employers. Call our office at (678) 810-1100 with your insurance information and we will verify benefits before your first visit.
I do not have dental insurance. What are my options?
A: We offer a Friends and Family Membership Plan that covers cleanings, exams, and X-rays for one annual fee, plus discounts on additional treatment. We also offer patient financing and monthly payment plans for larger procedures like implants or full smile makeovers.
Can my whole family come to the same office?
A: Yes. We see kids, teens, parents, and grandparents in the same practice. That is why families in Austell often switch to us, since they can book back-to-back appointments instead of driving to three different offices.
What if I have a dental emergency?
A: Call us at (678) 810-1100 as soon as possible. During business hours, we hold time for same-day emergency appointments. If you are in pain, have a knocked-out tooth, or have a broken crown, we will do everything we can to see you that day.
I have anxiety about going to the dentist. Can you help?
A: Yes. We see anxious patients often, including adults who have avoided the dentist for years. We offer dental sedation, walk through every step before we start, and stop when you need a break. Many patients tell us this is the first office where they have felt comfortable in the chair.
