What we treat

Surgical care for teeth, bone and jaw.

Thirteen procedures, each planned around your scan and your health history. Start with the one your dentist mentioned.

All procedures

Wisdom Teeth Removal

Removal of impacted or problem wisdom teeth, planned from X-rays and a 3D scan when needed, with sedation options including IV sedation.

Tooth Extraction

Simple and surgical removal of damaged, infected or broken teeth, with socket grafting when you plan an implant later.

Single Dental Implants

Replace one tooth or a few with implants placed from a 3D virtual surgical plan built on your own scan.

Bone Grafting

Socket preservation and ridge augmentation to rebuild thin jawbone so it can support a future dental implant.

Impacted Canine Exposure

Uncovering a stuck eyetooth and bonding a small bracket so your orthodontist can bring it into line.

Jaw Surgery (Orthognathic Surgery)

Repositioning the upper or lower jaw, planned in 3D with your orthodontist, so your bite and jaws line up.

IV Sedation and Anesthesia

Local anesthesia, laughing gas and IV sedation, matched to your procedure, your health and how you feel.

Emergency Oral Surgery

Same-day attempts for knocked-out teeth, infections, swelling and mouth or jaw injuries. Call the office first.

Everything we treat

Also: sinus lift, TMJ, facial trauma, oral pathology, sleep apnea.

Why patients are referred here

One surgeon, who spends the consult listening.

Every patient here is treated by Dr. Abtin Shahriari, DMD, MPH. He completed eight years of dental and surgical training at Penn and Emory: his dental degree at the University of Pennsylvania in 2004, then four years of oral and maxillofacial surgery training at Emory University School of Medicine.

His experience runs from outpatient implants to complex facial reconstruction and high-risk trauma cases at Level 1 trauma centers. In the consultation room, most of the time goes to hearing your concerns, so that you are part of your own treatment plan rather than a spectator to it.

Real smile transformations

Transform your smile with an experienced oral surgeon.

A flat X-ray shows height and width. A cone beam CT scan adds depth, so Dr. Abtin can measure the bone around a wisdom tooth root, the space above an implant site or the path of the nerve in your lower jaw.

For implants and jaw surgery, that scan feeds a 3D virtual surgical plan: the procedure is worked out on screen first, then carried into the operating room. You see the same images and can ask about any of it.

  • Scans taken in the office, so you are not sent elsewhere for imaging
  • Implant position, angle and size chosen before surgery day
  • Jaw movements rehearsed in 3D with your orthodontist
What to expect at your first visit

Your visit

Your visit, step by step.

Four stages, from the first phone call to the day your own dentist takes over again. Nothing happens without an explanation first.

  1. 01 // STEP

    Referral or a call

    Your dentist sends a referral, or you call the office nearest you. The team asks what is going on and finds a time that works. In pain? Every attempt is made to see you the same day.

  2. 02 // STEP

    3D scan and consultation

    Dr. Abtin reviews your history, examines your mouth and jaw and, when your case needs it, takes a cone beam CT scan. You see the images, hear your options in plain words and ask anything.

  3. 03 // STEP

    Surgery, with your choice of sedation

    Local anesthesia, laughing gas or IV sedation, chosen with you ahead of time. With IV sedation you can sleep through the procedure, and an adult drives you home after.

  4. 04 // STEP

    Recovery, then back to your dentist

    You go home with written instructions and a number to call. Follow-up visits check healing, and your general dentist continues your routine and restorative care.

Two offices

Buckhead and Cumming, one surgeon.

Dr. Abtin sees patients at both offices, and both keep the same hours. Choose the one closer to home or work.

FAQ

Questions patients ask first.

Short answers first. If yours is not here, call either office and a team member will help.

Ask the office
Do I need a referral to see an oral surgeon?

No, a referral is not always required. Many patients come to us from their general dentist, and you can also call either office directly to ask about a consultation. If your dentist has X-rays or a referral slip, bring them so nothing has to be repeated.

What does an oral and maxillofacial surgeon treat?

An oral and maxillofacial surgeon treats problems of the teeth, jawbone, joints and face that need surgery. At this practice that includes wisdom teeth, extractions, single dental implants, bone grafting, sinus lifts, impacted canines, jaw surgery, TMJ care, facial injuries, biopsies and sleep apnea evaluations.

Can I be asleep for my oral surgery?

Yes, for many procedures you can sleep through it with IV sedation. The office offers sedation options including IV sedation, laughing gas and local anesthesia. Dr. Abtin recommends an option based on your procedure, your health history, your medications and how relaxed you want to feel.

Does insurance cover oral surgery?

Often, at least in part. The practice works with most dental and medical insurance plans for surgical care, and some procedures, such as facial injuries or jaw surgery, may fall under medical coverage. Bring your insurance cards to your first visit and ask the team what your plan is likely to cover.

What happens at my first visit?

Your first visit is a consultation. Dr. Abtin reviews your medical and dental history, examines your mouth and jaw, and takes a 3D scan when your case calls for one. You leave knowing your diagnosis, your options and your sedation choices. Some procedures can be done the same day.

Can you see me today if I am in pain?

Call the office first. If you have pain or an emergency, every attempt will be made to see you that day. If you have trouble breathing or swallowing, swelling that is spreading toward your eye or neck, or bleeding that will not stop, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.

Do you do full-arch implants or Botox?

Not under this name. Full-arch care, such as All-on-4 style treatment and implant dentures, is handled by ANEWU, our sister practice, with the same surgeon in the same building. Botox and fillers are provided by DermClinic MD in the same Atlanta and Cumming buildings.
