Inside the perimeter
Your first visit to ANEWU is a free consultation, not a sales pitch. Here is what actually happens, from the moment you check in to the moment you leave with a plan.
Your first visit at ANEWU is a free consultation in three parts. The front desk reviews your medical and dental history, a 3D scan maps your jaw in office, then an oral surgeon examines you and explains your options in plain language. No treatment is performed that day.
If you have ever wondered whether a consultation is really just a sales appointment in disguise, the honest answer is that this one is built around information. Nothing is recommended until your anatomy has been scanned and looked at. Filling out the new patient forms ahead of time is the one thing that makes the visit shorter.
You are welcome to bring a spouse, an adult child or a friend. Most people find it easier to take in a treatment plan with a second set of ears in the room.
Three things happen at every consultation: we listen, we look closely with 3D imaging and guided surgery planning, and we tell you plainly what is possible.
01Check-inOur front desk greets you, confirms your information and reviews your medical and dental history along with any current medications.
02Planned in 3DWe take 3D imaging of your jaw and teeth in-office, so your anatomy is mapped precisely before any plan is ever discussed.
03Your planDr. Abtin reviews your imaging and history, examines your mouth, and talks through what's realistic for your situation in plain language.
Bring a current list of your medications, your medical or dental insurance card, and any referral slip or recent x-rays from another office. Completing the new patient forms before you arrive shortens check in. Eat normally beforehand, because a consultation involves an exam and imaging rather than treatment.
If you have ever wondered whether old records from another office are worth digging out, they are. Previous x-rays show how long a tooth has been missing, which is part of how bone loss is judged.
Write your questions down before you come. Most patients arrive with three or four, and it is easy to forget them once the scan is on screen. Some of the ones we hear most often are already answered in our common new patient questions.
No. A first visit is an exam, a conversation and a 3D scan, so nothing is drilled, extracted or placed that day. If you are anxious about dental appointments, tell the team at check in. Anesthesia and sedation options are discussed before any surgery is scheduled.
Dental anxiety is one of the most common reasons people put off replacing a missing tooth for years. Saying it out loud at the front desk changes how the appointment is paced, and nobody will be surprised to hear it.
If seeing the space first would help, you can take a look inside our offices before you book anything.
Nothing about the visit is designed to end in a same day signature. It is designed to end with you understanding your own mouth.
Dr. Abtin Shahriari, an oral surgeon specializing in implant dentistry, performs the implant exam and reviews your 3D scan at the Buckhead, Cumming and Dawsonville offices. Facial aesthetics consultations are seen by Dr. Arshia Payman, MD. A front desk team member checks you in and gathers your history first.
Eight years of specialty training, including the University of Pennsylvania and Emory University, sit behind every plan he writes. He has performed thousands of surgeries and founded Project Global Smile. You can read the full background on Dr. Abtin Shahriari.
Facial aesthetics is a separate practice inside the same offices, led by Dr. Arshia Payman, MD, a board-certified physician specializing in aesthetic medicine.
Missing teeth are replaced three ways at ANEWU: a single dental implant for one gap, an implant bridge for several teeth in a row, or a fixed full arch on four or more implants for an entire jaw. The 3D scan taken at your first visit shows which your bone supports.
If you have ever wondered how to replace missing teeth without committing to something you do not understand yet, this is the part of the visit that settles it. Which route applies comes down to how many teeth are gone and how much bone is left underneath them.
When the bone has thinned, bone grafting can rebuild enough height for standard implants to be placed later. When grafting is not the right answer, zygomatic implants anchor in the cheekbone instead. Your surgeon will assess this with the 3D scan at your consultation.
One implant and one crown, placed in the gap so the neighbouring teeth are left alone.
An implant bridge spans the space on fewer implants than there are teeth being replaced.
A fixed arch on four or more implants, finished in our on site lab rather than sent out.
Yes. There's no cost to meet the team, review your imaging and hear your options at your first visit.
In most cases, yes. 3D imaging is typically taken during your first visit so your treatment plan can be based on your actual anatomy, not guesswork.
Of course. Many patients bring a spouse, family member or friend to their consultation, and you're welcome to do the same.
No. Our team walks you through every option and answers your questions, but there's never pressure to commit the same day.
At the same visit. Once the exam and 3D scan are done, the team reviews the cost of the recommended plan with you before you leave. Dental insurance typically does not cover implant treatment, so CareCredit, Proceed Finance and monthly payment plans are explained at every Georgia office.
Cost is not quoted before the scan because the number genuinely depends on what the scan shows: how many implants your case needs, whether grafting has to come first, and which restoration is used. A quote given without that information is a guess.
Dental insurance typically does not cover implant treatment, though some plans contribute toward extractions or a restoration. Visa, MasterCard and Discover are accepted at all three Georgia offices.
ANEWU works with CareCredit and Proceed Finance and can arrange a monthly payment plan before your procedure is scheduled, so the figure you are deciding on is a monthly one.
Meet the team, see the technology and hear your options at Buckhead, Cumming or Dawsonville.
