If you live in Austell and you carry Delta Dental, Vibrant Smiles is one of the closest in-network dental offices to you. Our practice sits in Mableton, just up Floyd Road from the Austell line, so a typical drive from Austell takes only a few minutes.
Austell patients have plenty of dental practices to choose from, but the list gets short fast when you filter for Delta Dental in-network providers who are actually accepting new patients and who treat the full range of dental needs in one place.
In-Network Delta Dental Care for Austell Patients
Vibrant Smiles Family & Cosmetic Dentistry is in-network with Delta Dental PPO and Delta Dental Premier. Most Austell patients with Delta Dental PPO or Premier plans pay the in-network rate at our office, which is set by Delta Dental and is usually lower than the standard fee. We file your claim directly with Delta Dental, so you do not pay up front and then chase reimbursement.
Dr. Chea Rainford leads the practice. Austell patients see Dr. Rainford or one of the practice's hygienists for cleanings, exams, fillings, crowns, root canals, dentures, implant restorations, and cosmetic work. The full scope of care happens in one office, on one chart, with one team that knows your history.
Getting to Our Office from Austell
From most of Austell, the easiest route is Veterans Memorial Highway east, then north on Floyd Road SW. Patients coming from Six Flags Drive, the East-West Connector, or the Mulkey Road area usually reach the office in under ten minutes. Parking is on-site, the office is ground-floor accessible, and same-day emergency slots are often available for Austell patients with sudden pain or a broken tooth.
Office hours are Monday 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM, Tuesday 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Wednesday 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM (evening appointments available), and Thursday 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM. Same-day emergency appointments are often available for Austell patients with broken teeth, sudden pain, or other urgent issues. Call (678) 810-1100 if you need to be seen quickly.
What Delta Dental Covers at Our Austell-Area Office
Coverage details vary by plan, but here is the general pattern for Delta Dental PPO and Premier members at our office:
- Preventive care: cleanings, exams, x-rays, and oral cancer screenings. Most Delta Dental plans cover these at or close to 100%, which means your routine cleaning may cost $0 out of pocket.
- Basic restorative care: tooth-colored fillings, simple extractions, and root canals. Most plans cover a large share of these.
- Major care: crowns, bridges, dentures, partial dentures, and many implant-related procedures. Coverage is usually a smaller share but still meaningful.
- Cosmetic dentistry: veneers, whitening, and elective cosmetic bonding are usually not covered. We give a clear written estimate before any cosmetic work begins.
- Orthodontics: coverage depends on the plan. Some Delta Dental plans include orthodontic benefits, others do not.
If you want a clearer answer about your specific plan before booking, call our office for a complimentary Benefits Consultation. We will look at your plan, tell you what is covered, and walk you through any expected out-of-pocket costs in plain language.

Comfort and Technology in the Office

Other Insurance Plans We Accept
Beyond Delta Dental, Vibrant Smiles is in-network with most major dental PPO plans and accepts all traditional dental PPO insurances. If you have insurance through a different carrier, call our office and we will check your coverage before your visit.
We file your insurance claims for you, track the claims through processing, follow up on anything delayed, and help sort out family-plan coordination when it gets complicated. We submit claims electronically, which means faster and more secure processing.
One note on insurance, because patients ask: insurance companies set their reimbursement based on their own internal estimates of 'Usual and Customary Rates,' and they are not required to disclose how they calculate those rates. That is the reason a procedure can be partially covered rather than fully covered. We will always tell you what we expect insurance to pay and what you can expect to pay out of pocket before any treatment begins.
What if You Do Not Have Delta Dental?
Not everyone in Austell has dental insurance, and we work with patients who pay out of pocket every day. Here are the options:
Friends and Family Membership Plan
Our in-house membership plan is built for patients without dental insurance. It is a flat annual fee that includes:
- Cleanings, exams, and routine x-rays at no additional cost
- Exclusive savings on procedures like fillings, crowns, and other treatments
- Benefits that start immediately on the day you join
- 12 months of membership from your join date
- No deductibles, waiting periods, annual maximums, claim denials, or pre-approvals
Call the office for current pricing and to enroll.
CareCredit Healthcare Financing
CareCredit is a healthcare credit card built for medical, dental, and wellness expenses. It offers interest-free financing (subject to approval) and lets you spread the cost of larger treatments like crowns, implants, or full-mouth work across fixed monthly payments. We can walk you through the CareCredit application at the office or you can apply ahead of your visit.
Out-of-Pocket Payments
We accept cash, debit cards, and all major credit cards including VISA, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express.
About Dr. Chea Rainford
Dr. Chea Rainford, DMD, has practiced dentistry in Georgia for more than 15 years. He is a general, cosmetic, and implant dentist, and he leads Vibrant Smiles Family & Cosmetic Dentistry. Austell patients see Dr. Rainford for routine care like cleanings and exams as well as complex work like full-mouth implant cases and cosmetic smile makeovers.
Dr. Rainford earned his Bachelor of Science in Chemistry from the University of West Georgia, with a minor in Biology. He went on to The Medical College of Georgia School of Dentistry in Augusta, where he earned his Doctor of Medical Dentistry (DMD). After dental school, he completed post-graduate training in four specialty areas: Prosthodontics, Orthodontics, Periodontics, and Endodontics. That cross-specialty training is the reason patients can have most of their care handled in one office, with one provider who knows their case from start to finish, instead of being sent to a different specialist for each step.
Licenses, Memberships, and Fellowship
Dr. Rainford's professional credentials and ongoing affiliations include:
- Licensed Dentist, State of Georgia
- Fellowship status with the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (FICOI)
- American Dental Association (ADA) member
