A short drive from the Towne Lake area on GA-92. Treating Cherokee County families for more than 40 years.
A Cherokee County Family's Acworth Dentist
Woodwind Station sits in the 30189 zip code, on the Cherokee County side of the Cobb-Cherokee county line. Our office is in Acworth, just across the line in Cobb County, at 6199 GA-92, Suite 132. Most Woodwind Station residents reach us in 10-15 minutes via Towne Lake Parkway and GA-92.
Dr. Alan N. Parnes, DDS, has been practicing dentistry in this area for more than 40 years. He graduated from Howard University College of Dentistry in 1982. The practice has treated multiple generations of Cherokee County families, including many who moved to the Towne Lake area as the development grew and stayed with the practice through the cross-county drive.
We handle the full range of dental care in one location: cleanings, fillings, crowns, bridges, implants, Invisalign, professional whitening, and same-day emergency care. We are in-network with Delta Dental. The Friends and Family Membership Plan covers patients without dental insurance.
Services for Woodwind Station Families
Family and Preventive Care
Six-month cleanings, exams, digital X-rays, dental sealants for kids, oral cancer screenings, athletic mouth guards for Cherokee County recreation league players, and periodontal therapy. Most Woodwind Station families book hygiene appointments before school starts in August and again at the holidays. We can usually get a cleaning slot within seven to ten days of the call.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Professional whitening, porcelain veneers, cosmetic bonding, and Invisalign clear aligners. Cosmetic bookings from Woodwind Station tend to cluster around two patterns: parents getting cosmetic work done while the kids are at summer camp, and the parents of high-school seniors who want a refresh before the cycle of senior photos, prom, and graduation.
Restorative and Implant Care
Tooth-colored fillings, crowns and bridges, root canal therapy, dental implants, and dentures (traditional, partial, and implant-supported). Dr. Parnes places and restores implants in-house.
Same-Day Emergency Care
A broken tooth, severe pain, or a tooth knocked loose during a recreation-league game all qualify as same-day cases. Call (770) 657-7120 before 1 PM and we will make every effort to see you the same afternoon. The office closes at 5 PM Monday through Friday.
Woodwind Station and the Towne Lake Area
Woodwind Station is a residential community off Towne Lake Parkway in the southern part of the city of Woodstock. The neighborhood sits between the Towne Lake commercial corridor and the Cherokee County school district's main schools. Many families chose the area for the school district and the walkable proximity to Towne Lake Parkway shopping and dining.
The county line between Cherokee and Cobb runs roughly along GA-92 in this area, which is why a Woodwind Station resident can cross into Cobb County in a five-minute drive. For dental care, that crossing pays off: our practice has been at its current Acworth address for decades, and the cross-county route is much shorter than the drive to the older Cherokee County dental options further north.
How to Get Here from Woodwind Station
We are at 6199 GA-92, Suite 132, Acworth, GA 30102. From Woodwind Station, take Towne Lake Parkway west to GA-92, then south. The office is on the right after 3-5 miles on GA-92. Plan for 10 to 15 minutes door to door.
An alternative route via Bells Ferry Road can save a few minutes during the morning rush. Parking is in the lot directly in front of the suite.

Frequently Asked Questions for Woodwind Station Patients
Is the drive worth it across the county line?
For most Woodwind Station residents, yes. The drive is 10 to 15 minutes via Towne Lake Parkway and GA-92, which is roughly the same time it would take to reach the Cherokee County dental options further north. The cross-county drive is short because we sit close to the county line.
Does it matter for insurance that you are in Cobb County and I live in Cherokee?
Not for any major insurance plan. Delta Dental, BCBS, Aetna, Cigna, and other standard PPO plans do not draw network distinctions at county lines. We file the claim against your plan regardless of which county you live in.
What insurance plans do you accept for Cherokee County employers?
We are in-network with Delta Dental. Call (770) 657-7120 with your plan name and member ID and the front desk will verify before your appointment.
Are you a good fit for a Towne Lake family with multiple kids?
Yes. The practice treats kids from their first tooth and works with families to schedule sibling appointments in the same hour where possible. Sealants for kids, athletic mouth guards for recreation-league sports, and orthodontic consultations are all handled in-house.
Do you take walk-in patients from the Towne Lake area?
We book by appointment, but same-day openings for true emergencies are usually available if you call before 1 PM. Call (770) 657-7120 the moment the problem starts; do not drive over without calling first.
