Not all jaw pain is "just stress."

A few signs it's worth getting checked:
→ Pain that lingers, even after a day or two of rest
→ Clicking or popping when you open and close
→ Pain that spreads toward your ear

Left alone, these can point to TMJ dysfunction, an impacted tooth, or an infection. The earlier it's checked, the simpler the fix usually is.

If your jaw pain isn't going away, Atlanta OFS can help you figure out why. Call (470) 607-0570 or visit https://www.atlantaoralsurgery.com to schedule an evaluation.

Overbite? Underbite? Sometimes it's the jaw, not just the teeth.

Orthognathic surgery corrects irregularities of the jaw bones. Severe underbites, overbites, and crossbites can affect how you chew, speak, and breathe, not just how your smile looks.

Braces align the teeth. Surgery aligns the jaw. Your surgeon and orthodontist plan every phase together, so the two treatments work as one plan.

Beyond function, treatment also supports facial balance.

Wondering if jaw surgery is right for you? Call (470) 607-0570 or visit https://www.atlantaoralsurgery.com

Ever wonder what happens before a procedure like a dental implant or wisdom tooth extraction? For many patients, it starts with a CBCT scan.

A cone beam CT creates a detailed 3D picture of your teeth, jaw, and bone, so your treatment plan is guided by precision, not guesswork. It's especially useful for implants, impacted teeth, and surgical planning.

The scan itself is quick and painless, one short pass with no discomfort, done right in our office. And because it uses low-dose 3D imaging, it's a fraction of the radiation of a traditional CT scan.

Ask about 3D imaging at your next consultation. Call (470) 607-0570 or visit https://www.atlantaoralsurgery.com.

A special thank-you to Irene Iancu, RDH, who traveled from Canada to share her expertise and practical tools—including a helpful implant-care checklist. We’re also grateful to Dr. Blair, Dr. Bankston, Dr. Keim, Dr. Levy, and Dr. Sherrell for attending and helping host this meaningful evening.
Thank you to Atlanta Country Club for the beautiful setting and wonderful hospitality, and to Straumann for sponsoring the event and supporting continued education in our dental community.
We’re grateful for our referral partners and their ongoing commitment to collaboration, learning, and exceptional patient care! ❤️

Summer break doesn't last forever, and neither does the window to recover comfortably. If your wisdom teeth are already causing discomfort, or your dentist has told you it's time, this is the season to take care of it. Most patients are back to feeling like themselves within just a few days.
Don't wait until pain makes the decision for you.
