Posted prices, in-network insurance, financing and sedation, so Forest Park patients who have delayed care can finally book.
Plenty of people in Forest Park have a tooth they’ve meant to get checked for a year or more. Usually the reason is money, nerves, or both. Not knowing what a visit will cost makes it easy to keep postponing, and one rough appointment years ago can make the chair feel like the last place you want to be.
Ponce Dental Studio is set up to take both worries off the table. Our prices are published before you book, we’re in network with several major insurers, and we offer sedation for patients who need help getting through treatment. The office is in Virginia Highland, a straight run up I-75 from Clayton County.
After a long gap, the first visit is usually an exam and X-rays, followed by a cleaning. We use AI-assisted imaging to help spot decay and bone changes early, when fixes tend to be smaller and less expensive. Routine dental cleanings are among the services listed on our price page, so you can see the number ahead of time.
Cavities, cracked teeth and missing teeth rarely get cheaper with time. We handle fillings, crowns, root canals, dentures and dental implants here, and our in-house lab makes many restorations on site instead of shipping the work out. Digital impressions replace the putty trays most people remember gagging on. Before treatment starts, we walk through the plan, what insurance is expected to cover, and what your share looks like.
Professional teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, Invisalign clear aligners and full smile makeovers are all available. Cosmetic work usually isn’t covered by insurance, so this is where CareCredit and Cherry financing come up most often. Splitting the cost into monthly payments lets you plan around a family budget instead of one large bill.
If years of skipped visits have left several teeth in rough shape, full mouth reconstruction rebuilds bite and function in planned stages. We also treat TMJ and TMD jaw pain. And when a toothache or broken tooth can’t wait, we hold same-day emergency appointments, so a Forest Park patient in pain doesn’t have to wait days for relief.
Our dentists and hygienists see a lot of patients who arrive embarrassed about how long it has been. We don’t lecture. The goal of a first visit is to find out what’s going on, explain it in plain language, and give you a clear sense of what matters now versus what can wait.
If anxiety is the real obstacle, ask about sedation dentistry before you book. We offer nitrous oxide, which wears off quickly, oral conscious sedation taken as a pill before your appointment, and IV sedation for longer or more involved treatment. The team will talk through which option suits the procedure and your health history.
You can read about the dentists and staff on our Atlanta care team page. Patients from every background are welcome here, and we would much rather answer a dozen questions on the phone than have you skip another year of care.
From Forest Park, I-75 north merges into the Downtown Connector. Take the North Avenue exit, head east toward Ponce City Market, and the office is a short distance farther east on Ponce De Leon Avenue. Timing depends heavily on traffic, so a midday slot can be easier than rush hour. Patients who would rather head south can use our McDonough office, farther down I-75.
It’s hard to plan for a bill you can’t see. That’s why we publish our fees. The price transparency page lists costs for common treatments, so you can compare and budget before you ever pick up the phone. If something on your treatment plan isn’t listed there, ask and we’ll give you the figure before any work begins.
We’re in network with Delta Dental, Ameritas and Principal, which helps keep out-of-pocket costs predictable for patients on those plans. If you carry a different insurer, call before booking and we’ll go over your options. For costs insurance doesn’t cover, or if you have no dental plan at all, CareCredit and Cherry let you spread payments over time. Details on both are on our financing and insurance page.
Start with a call to (404) 777-4040 or the online booking form. Tell us roughly how long it’s been and whether anything hurts right now. If you’re nervous, say so at this stage, so sedation can be planned ahead instead of brought up at the last minute. At the visit, we’ll take digital X-rays and look at the whole mouth, then sit down with you to go over what we found.
After the exam, you’ll get a treatment plan sorted by priority. Urgent problems, like an infection or a tooth close to breaking, go at the top. Other work can often be spaced out to fit your insurance year or a monthly budget. You’ll see the cost of each step alongside what your plan is expected to pick up, and nothing gets scheduled until you agree to it.
Dental fear is common, especially after a painful visit in the past. Small things help: knowing what’s coming next, being able to ask for a pause at any point, and having the dentist explain each step as it happens. For patients who need more support, nitrous oxide takes the edge off during a cleaning or filling, while oral or IV sedation can make a longer appointment feel much shorter.
Once the urgent work is done, regular checkups keep small problems from growing back into big ones. The front desk can fit recall visits around your work week within our weekday hours. Staying current is also the cheapest way to use your dental benefits, since many plans cover preventive visits at a higher rate than fillings or crowns.
If you’ve been putting off a visit because of the bill or the nerves, you’re far from the only one. The longer a problem sits, though, the more it usually costs to fix, and the more likely it is to flare up on a day you can’t afford to miss work.
Ponce Dental Studio gives Forest Park patients a manageable way back in: prices you can check online, in-network coverage with Delta Dental, Ameritas and Principal, CareCredit or Cherry financing, and sedation if the chair itself is the hard part.
Our Virginia Highland office is open Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 4 PM. If the drive north doesn’t fit your week, ask about our McDonough location. Either way, call (404) 777-4040 and we’ll help you choose a first appointment that works.
Head north on I-75, which becomes the Downtown Connector as it passes through the city. Exit at North Avenue and drive east, then continue to 892 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Suite 101. If going south is easier for you, we also have an office in McDonough along I-75.
Yes. Fees for common services are published on our price transparency page, and we’ll quote anything else before work starts. We’re in network with Delta Dental, Ameritas and Principal. If you don’t have insurance, or for the portion your plan leaves behind, CareCredit and Cherry offer payment plans you can apply for.
Call (404) 777-4040 as early in the day as you can. We keep room for same-day emergency visits for problems like a severe toothache, facial swelling, a broken tooth or a knocked-out tooth. Our hours are Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 4 PM. If emergency treatment makes you anxious, ask about sedation when you call.
Our main office is at 892 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Suite 101, in Atlanta’s Virginia Highland neighborhood, close to Ponce City Market. Patients coming from Forest Park usually take I-75 north and the Downtown Connector.
