A Vinings family dentist for patients who want cosmetic, implant, and family care from one practice they keep going back to.
Vinings residents have dental options. The corridor from Vinings Jubilee through Cumberland and into Buckhead is dense with practices, many of them excellent. The question is not which one is closest. It is which one is worth a long-term relationship. Vibrant Smiles Family & Cosmetic Dentistry is fifteen to twenty minutes west of Vinings in Mableton, and the patients who drive to us from Vinings tend to do so because they wanted cosmetic and implant work handled by the same dentist who handles their family cleanings, rather than juggling three providers.
Vibrant Smiles: A Family Practice With Full Cosmetic and Implant Capability
Most family practices send cosmetic and implant cases out. The patient ends up with one office for cleanings, a specialist for implants, and a cosmetic dentist for veneers. Three providers, three sets of records, three sets of bills. Vibrant Smiles is built to handle all of it under Dr. Chea Rainford in one Mableton office. For Vinings patients who want a single relationship rather than a network of referrals, that structure matters.
Meet Dr. Chea Rainford
Dr. Rainford trained for the full scope of general, cosmetic, restorative, and implant dentistry. After dental school at the Medical College of Georgia in Augusta, he completed post-graduate training in prosthodontics, orthodontics, periodontics, and endodontics, then earned Fellow status with the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (FICOI). He is a member of the American Academy of Facial Esthetics, the Hinman Dental Society, and the Academy of General Dentistry. His patients stay with the practice across years because the approach is consultative rather than transactional: cosmetic consultations include before-and-after photos of actual case work, and implant consultations include real numbers, real timelines, and real options at each price point.
A look at his training and credentials:
- DMD, Medical College of Georgia School of Dentistry (Augusta, GA)
- BS Chemistry, University of West Georgia
- Post-graduate training in prosthodontics, orthodontics, periodontics, and endodontics
- More than 15 years practicing dentistry in Georgia
- Fellow, International Congress of Oral Implantologists (FICOI)
- Member, American Dental Association (ADA)
- Member, Georgia Dental Association (GDA)
- Member, North Georgia Dental Society
- Member, Academy of General Dentistry
- Member, Hinman Dental Society
- Member, American Academy of Facial Esthetics
- Lifetime member, American Orthodontic Society
- Lifetime member, Medical College of Georgia Alumni Association
- Licensed dentist, State of Georgia; BLS certified
Outside the office, Dr. Rainford lives in the area with his wife and young daughter, is active in his local church, and volunteers with several charities. He is a longtime Falcons and Braves fan and plays soccer and cricket from his school days. The Vinings patients who choose Vibrant Smiles over a closer Buckhead or Cumberland practice tend to do so because they have decided the FICOI implant fellowship and the prosthodontics training are worth the twenty-minute drive west.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic work that holds up over years comes from planning the case before drilling anything. Dr. Rainford's cosmetic consultations include digital previews when appropriate, conversation about what bothers you about your smile, and a real discussion of trade-offs (veneers are durable but irreversible; bonding is reversible but does not last as long; whitening alone may be enough).
- Teeth whitening: in-office for fastest results, take-home trays for gradual brightening
- Cosmetic bonding: for chips, small gaps, and minor cosmetic concerns
- Veneers: for full-front-tooth makeovers, including porcelain options
- Crowns: shaped and shaded to match adjacent teeth
- Smile makeovers: multiple procedures combined into one treatment plan
Before-and-after photos of completed case work are available on the website and during consultations.
Implants and Tooth Replacement
Vibrant Smiles handles implant surgery and the final restoration in the same office. For Vinings patients who would otherwise see a periodontist or oral surgeon for the surgical phase and a separate restorative dentist for the crown, this is a meaningful simplification.
- Single implants for one missing tooth
- Implant-supported bridges for two or three missing teeth in a row
- Implant-supported dentures for patients with extensive tooth loss
- All-on-4 full-arch implants for patients replacing an entire arch
Implant consultations are no-pressure. You will get honest assessments of whether you are a candidate, what bone grafting (if any) is needed, what the timeline looks like, and what the work will actually cost across the full case.
Family Dentistry, Too
Vinings families bring kids and parents to the practice once they have established care for themselves. The full range of preventive and restorative dentistry is here:
- Routine cleanings, exams, x-rays, oral cancer screening
- Tooth-colored fillings, crowns, bridges
- Root canals (most performed in-house)
- Periodontal therapy
- Sedation dentistry for anxious patients
- Same-day emergency appointments
Insurance, Financing, and the Friends & Family Membership
Three ways to pay for your family's dental care, so the right fit exists whether you have PPO coverage, no insurance, or a treatment plan that runs into thousands.
In-Network with Most Major PPO Plans
Vibrant Smiles is in-network with most major PPO dental plans and files claims directly on your behalf. For many patients, that means a healthy-mouth cleaning visit costs $0 out of pocket. Call (678) 810-1100 with your card before your first visit for a complimentary benefits check so you know what is covered and what your share of cost will be.
Friends & Family Membership Plan (No Insurance Needed)
If you do not have dental insurance, the Friends & Family Membership Plan is built for you. It runs for 12 months from the date you join and includes:
- Cleanings, exams, and routine x-rays at no additional cost
- Exclusive savings on procedures such as fillings
- Benefits that start immediately
- No deductibles, no waiting periods, no annual maximums, no claim denials, no pre-approvals
For Vinings consultants, 1099 contractors, and retirees not yet on a Medicare Advantage dental plan, the Friends & Family plan is often a cleaner solution than buying a standalone dental policy. Call (678) 810-1100 for current membership rates.
CareCredit Healthcare Financing
For larger treatment plans (full-mouth restorations, multiple implants, full smile makeovers), CareCredit lets you spread the cost over fixed monthly payments. Interest-free promotional terms are available, subject to approval. The front desk handles the CareCredit application and walks you through what your monthly cost will be before any work begins.
Out-of-Pocket Payments
We accept cash, debit cards, and all major credit cards: Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the drive from Vinings really worth it?
It depends on what you need. For a basic cleaning, probably not unless you want continuity with the practice that also handles cosmetic and implant work. For cosmetic consultations, implant cases, or family care with one provider, Vinings patients consistently tell us the fifteen-to-twenty-minute drive is worth it for the consolidation.
Can I see implant work and cosmetic results before committing?
Yes. The website has a before-and-after gallery, and consultations include reviewing case work that compares to your situation.
Do you accept my insurance?
We are in-network with most major PPO plans. Call (678) 810-1100 with your card and the front desk will verify benefits.
Do you offer evening or weekend appointments?
Wednesdays we are open until 7 p.m. Mondays and Thursdays until 5:30, Tuesdays until 5. The Wednesday evening slot is popular with Vinings professionals.
How is a same-day emergency handled?
Same-day slots are reserved for emergencies. Call (678) 810-1100 first thing in the morning if you are dealing with pain, trauma, or a broken tooth.
Schedule Your Vinings Family Visit
