FAQ

Questions patients ask first.

Short, direct answers. Call the office if yours is not here.

Still wondering about something? Call (706) 969-7664

No. Many patients are sent by their dentist, and you are also welcome to call and book a consultation on your own. If your dentist has recent X-rays, ask the office to send them before your visit so Dr. Abtin can review them.

It is a dental specialty focused on surgery of the teeth, mouth, jaws and face. In Dawsonville, Dr. Abtin treats wisdom teeth, extractions, impacted teeth, single implants, bone grafting, sinus lifts, jaw surgery, facial injuries, oral pathology and dental emergencies. See every procedure.

Options range from local anesthesia, which numbs the area, to nitrous oxide for mild nerves, to IV sedation for a deeply relaxed, sleep-like state. Dr. Abtin recommends an option based on your health and the procedure, and you decide together. How sedation works.

Many surgical procedures are partly covered by dental insurance, and some, such as treatment after an injury, may be billed to medical insurance. Ask the team what your plan is likely to cover before anything is scheduled.

It depends on the procedure. After a simple extraction, many people feel close to normal within a few days. Wisdom teeth, grafting and implant surgery usually take longer. You go home with written instructions and can call the office with any concern. Read the after-surgery guide.

Dr. Abtin Shahriari performs every surgery. He is the practice's only surgeon and divides his week between offices in Dawsonville, Cumming and Atlanta, so the team will match your visit to his Dawsonville days.

Full-arch care, such as teeth in a day and implant dentures, is provided by ANEWU Dawsonville, in the same building with the same surgeon. North Georgia Oral Surgeon focuses on single implants, a few implants and surgical care. Visit ANEWU Dawsonville.

The office is at 142 Prestige Ln, Suite 100, Dawsonville, GA 30534. It is open Monday to Friday from 7 AM to 5 PM and Saturday from 7 AM to 1 PM, and closed on Sunday. Call (706) 969-7664 to book.
