Insurance, Financing, and the Friends and Family Membership Plan
We are in-network with most major dental PPO plans. If you have insurance, we will verify your benefits before your appointment. If you do not have insurance, our Friends and Family Membership Plan is a flat annual fee that covers preventive care and provides a discount on cosmetic and restorative work. CareCredit financing is available for cosmetic cases that you would rather spread over monthly payments.
Most cosmetic dentistry is not covered by dental insurance regardless of the practice. We will tell you what is covered, what is not, and what the case will actually cost, before any treatment is started.
About Ashley Forest, Acworth GA 30102
Ashley Forest is a residential subdivision inside Acworth ZIP 30102, in north Cobb County. The neighborhood is close to Lake Allatoona recreation, the GA-92 corridor, and the broader Acworth retail and dining area along Cobb Parkway.
Many Ashley Forest families have been with our practice for two or three generations. The neighborhood has the kind of stability that suits a long-tenured family practice: the patients who came in for their first appointments as kids in the 1990s now bring their own children to the same office.
Our Ashley Forest Dental Services Include:
Dental Implants Provider
Acworth Family & Preventive Dentistry
Acworth Cosmetic Dentist
Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can I be seen if I have a cosmetic concern that is also urgent, like a chipped front tooth?
We hold same-day emergency slots most weekdays. From Ashley Forest, you can typically be in our chair within an hour of calling first thing in the morning. Cosmetic bonding for a chipped front tooth usually takes 30 to 60 minutes and looks finished the same day.
Do you treat entire families, or only cosmetic cases?
Dr. Parnes is a general dentist with a cosmetic focus. We see children, teens, adults, and seniors, and many Acworth families have been with the practice across multiple generations.
Are you accepting new Acworth patients?
Yes. New patients can book a first appointment online or by phone. Bring your insurance card to the first visit and we will verify your benefits at check-in. If you do not have insurance, we can walk through the Friends and Family Membership Plan at the same appointment.
Will I see Dr. Parnes himself, or rotate among different dentists?
The practice is led by Dr. Alan N. Parnes personally, and you will see him for cosmetic consultations and treatment. The hygiene team handles cleanings and preventive visits.
My teen is asking about cosmetic dentistry. How young is too young?
For whitening, we generally wait until permanent teeth are fully erupted, which is usually around age 16. For Invisalign and orthodontic alignment, planning often starts earlier in coordination with an orthodontist. For elective veneers on a teen, we strongly discourage it. Most of the time the answer for a teen with cosmetic concerns is professional whitening and good orthodontic alignment, both of which are reversible or non-destructive choices.
Book Your Ashley Forest Consultation
A cosmetic consultation is the right place to start, regardless of whether you have a clear treatment in mind or just a vague sense that something about your smile is not working. Dr. Parnes will look at your teeth, listen to what you want to fix, and walk through realistic options, costs, and timelines. There is no commitment to treatment from a consultation.
Call (770) 928-4434 to book an Ashley Forest cosmetic consultation, or use the online scheduler. We are five to ten minutes from your front door, on GA-92.
