Last week Dr. Joshua Levy gave a presentation on dental implant therapy to his top referrals. Guests enjoyed a great meal from Gianni & Mac’s, drinks, and a unique program straight from one of our very own! Dr. Levy touched on how immediate placement can reduce surgical burden and minimally invasive decision-making is biologically and financially beneficial - essentially, Less is More! Thanks to all who came out and engaged with us. We had a wonderful time!

Referrals from the north end of Atlanta joined us for a rare opportunity in hearing from one of our own surgeons, Dr. Salam Salman. His presentation on Preprosthetic and Complex Restoration Options was truly insightful. It was amazing to see some of the before and after photos of lives truly changed by Oral Surgery. Dr. Salman presented some cases where patients felt they had no other options, but he and his team were able to help them get their smile and their life back! Thank you to everyone who joined us at Main Street Events by 1885 Grill in Acworth, and a special thanks to Dr. Salman, Dr. Kragor, Dr. Dillard, and Dr Wunderle for hosting such a great event for our referrals.

🌟 Staff Spotlight: Jaime Miller 🌟

This month, we’re celebrating someone who helps keep our Cu***ng office running like a well-oiled machine: meet Jaime! As Administrative Supervisor, Jaime has been a vital part of the AOFS family for 6 years, leading her team with patience, encouragement, and incredible dedication. According to Brookanne, “Jaime is an excellent supervisor! She is so patient and willing to help teach in any way possible! She is respected so much by her colleagues and is an exceptional leader. She is such an asset to AOFS!"

Outside the office, Jaime lives life to the fullest with her husband of 22 years, Jason, and their three kids, Mike, Brenden, and Hailey, plus their four adorable fur babies: Chief, Coco, Baxter, and Mischief.

Jaime and Jason love exploring new breweries, coffee shops, and restaurants, and they’re always up for an off-road Jeep adventure. She’s also a big fan of live music (her “happy place”), especially when paired with Mexican food! From George Strait to Slightly Stoopid to JD Clayton, her playlist is always fresh. Jaime is also a huge Braves fan and enjoys watching F1, UFC, football, and Motocross/Supercross.

Jaime, your willingness to always help where you can and support your team makes a lasting impact. Thank you for all you do. We’re so grateful to have you as part of the AOFS family! 💙

We had an incredible time at The Neuroscience of Conversations with Coach Elix Cintron - great venue, amazing food, and an even better keynote that had the entire room leaning in.

The conversations were real. The energy was high. And the mission behind it all? Bigger than just CE.
It was about growing as leaders, showing up differently for our teams, and creating real impact - inside and outside the practice.

Thanks to Dr. Gonzalez for starting us off with a presentation on wisdom teeth so that our referrals are prepared for the busy summer season. Thanks to Dr. Lee for hosting as well, and to all our loyal Newnan and Fayetteville referrals for coming out and leaning in with us!

Another successful CE event! This past Thursday our Cu***ng, Johns Creek, Hamilton Mill, Sugarloaf, and Sugar Hill top referring dentists and their staff joined with us at Frankie’s Steakhouse in Duluth for a wonderful continuing education course with Dr. Jay Smith. Our guests enjoyed a cocktail hour with appetizers, a delicious steak dinner, an engaging lecture on the latest in implant and esthetic dentistry, and great company and conversation!

This is our 4th year hosting a CE event at Frankie’s and it just keeps getting better. It has become one of our favorite traditions, something we know wouldn’t be possible without our loyal and enthusiastic partners in dentistry. Thanks to all who came out (especially in that crazy Georgia summer weather!) and thanks to our sponsors and for helping make this special night possible! We appreciate all of you ❤️

Staff Spotlight: Meet Brandy ✨

We’re thrilled to shine the spotlight on Brandy, our incredible Regional Insurance Verification Team Supervisor, celebrating 15 years with AOFS and 20 years alongside Dr. Treadway in our Douglasville location. Brandy brings a wealth of experience, steady leadership, and heartfelt dedication to everything she does — both professionally and personally.

Outside the office, Brandy enjoys life with her husband Allan of 25 years, their 3 children, and 5 beautiful grandkids. Whether she’s camping, boating, or riding motorcycles, she’s all about making memories with her family.

When asked about her time with Dr. Treadway, Brandy shared, “Over the past 20 years, Dr. Treadway has taught me so much, and I’m deeply grateful for his guidance and support. I’m excited to see what the next 20 years with AOFS and Dr. Treadway will bring.”

Thank you, Brandy, for your loyalty, leadership, and the compassion you bring to AOFS every day. 💙

Last Thursday, we had the pleasure of hosting a special CE event at Dunwoody Country Club, led by Drs. Velez, Keim, Dillard, and Blair. The evening brought together our referring dentists and their teams for an important conversation about mental health in dentistry.
Dr. Brandon James lead an impactful presentation on the critical need for self-care in a high-pressure, fast-paced field such as ours. Together, we explored practical strategies to manage burnout, reduce anxiety, and build a healthier, more supportive workplace culture.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for this meaningful evening of connection, learning, and growth. We’re especially grateful to Dr. James for courageously sharing his journey and serving as a beacon of hope for those facing similar struggles in our profession. It’s an honor to support continuing education that truly makes a difference in both our clinical and personal lives.
If you or someone you know is struggling, please remember—you are not alone and help is available. All you have to do is ask.

Our goal remains to provide a 5-star patient experience from the first call to the final outcome. Likewise, our priority is to retain and grow the trust our referrals have placed in us to care for their patients over the past 45 years.
