Last night we brought our Sugar Hill, Sugarloaf, and Hamilton Mill referrals together for a one-of-a-kind hands-on CE course focused on innovative denture conversion solutions for full arch cases. Guests enjoyed a delicious steak dinner and drinks from Cuts Steakhouse while participating in the fabrication of a provisional Smart Denture Conversion prosthetic.

Our very own Dr. Chris Kim also shared insights from his own recent full arch cases, sparking an engaging and in-depth discussion among attendees. A huge thank you to Wayne Szara for leading the hands-on course and sharing his expertise, and to our sponsor ZimVie for helping make this incredible event possible.

Last week, our AOFS team had the pleasure of hosting our top referral partners from our Newnan and Fayetteville offices for an engaging CE course on Full Arch solutions with Dr. Jay Smith. The event, hosted by Dr. Gonzalez and Dr. Yi and sponsored by Zimvie, featured a delicious dinner from Enzo and an evening of education and collaboration.

Dr. Smith shared valuable insights on the functional and esthetic challenges in implant dentistry, discussed evidence-based treatment options, and emphasized the importance of patient education and long-term implant care.

Thank you to all who joined us for this inspiring night of learning, connection, and shared commitment to exceptional patient care!

Yesterday was a great day to be a dental professional in Gainesville, GA! Our Gainesville team hosted a special Open House Lunchtime Block Party, welcoming over 150 local dentists and staff, a record turnout in AOFS history!

Guests enjoyed a delicious lunch from The Lunch Counter, sweet treats from King of Pops , and lots of exciting giveaways. Most importantly, everyone had the chance to tour our newly renovated office and meet Gainesville’s newest dedicated Oral & Maxillofacial surgeon, Dr. Chris Kim.

As a former general dentist himself, he understands the perspective of referring doctors and is passionate about building strong, lasting relationships within the dental community.
