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.

Frequently Asked Questions for Smyrna Patients
How far is Vibrant Smiles from Smyrna?
A: Most Smyrna patients reach us in 15 to 22 minutes via South Cobb Drive to the East-West Connector and onto Floyd Road. Patients coming from Smyrna Market Village or the Cumberland area often find the trip faster than driving inside the perimeter.
Why do Smyrna patients drive to Mableton instead of staying local?
A: Smyrna has plenty of dental options, but many are large group offices where you see a different provider each visit. Vibrant Smiles is a single, locally owned practice. You see Dr. Rainford and the same hygienist team every time.
Do you accept my insurance?
A: We are in-network with most major PPO dental insurance plans. Bring your insurance card to your first visit, or call (678) 810-1100 ahead of time and we will verify benefits for you.
Do you offer cosmetic dentistry like veneers and whitening?
A: Yes. We do professional teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, cosmetic bonding, and full smile makeovers. We can show you before-and-after examples in the office during your consultation.
Do you do implants in-house?
A: Yes. We place and restore single implants and All-on-4 cases in our Mableton office. Dr. Rainford holds Fellowship status with the International Congress of Oral Implantologists.
Can I get an evening or after-work appointment?
A: Yes. We see patients until 5:30 PM most days and until 7:00 PM on Wednesdays. Smyrna patients who work in Cumberland or downtown Atlanta often take Wednesday evening slots.
