FAQ
Referral questions.
Short answers first. If yours is not here, call either office and a team member will help.
What can I refer patients for?
You can refer for any of the 13 procedures the practice performs, including wisdom teeth, extractions, single implants, bone grafting, sinus lifts, impacted canines, jaw surgery, TMJ, facial trauma, biopsies, IV sedation and sleep apnea evaluations. Full-arch cases go to ANEWU, our sister practice, with the same surgeon.
Will my patient come back to me?
Yes. The practice handles the surgical part of care, and your patient returns to you for restorative and routine dentistry. For a single implant, you can restore the implant once it has integrated, working from the same plan.
Can I send radiographs with the referral?
Yes. Attach recent radiographs to the form below or send them with your patient. If the case calls for 3D imaging, a cone beam CT scan is taken in the office at the consultation, so your patient is not sent elsewhere for it.
Which office should I refer to?
Refer to whichever office is closer to your patient: Atlanta (Buckhead) or Cumming. Both keep the same hours, Monday to Saturday, 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and Dr. Abtin treats patients at both.
