Detailed Introduction

Atlanta Oral & Facial Surgery (AOFS) is a leading and extensive Oral Surgery practice, recognized as the largest of its kind in the United States. Established in 1980, AOFS has grown significantly, now boasting over 20 state-of-the-art facilities located throughout the greater Atlanta metropolitan area. The practice was founded on the core principles of delivering exceptional patient experiences through clinical excellence and streamlining administrative and insurance processes. AOFS offers a comprehensive scope of oral and maxillofacial surgical services. Key procedures include: Dental Implants: Utilizing advanced technology like 3D imaging, AOFS provides solutions for single or multiple missing teeth, often allowing for same-day temporary tooth placement. They also perform bone grafting for patients with insufficient jawbone density. Wisdom Teeth Removal: This is a common procedure offered, with a focus on comfortable and safe extraction, often with various sedation options. Corrective Jaw Surgery (Orthognathic Surgery): Addressing issues where the upper and lower jaws don't align properly, improving both function and facial aesthetics. Facial Trauma Treatment: Managing injuries to the mouth, teeth, and facial regions. TMJ Treatment: Diagnosis and management of temporomandibular joint disorders. Oral Pathology: Diagnosis and treatment of diseases affecting the mouth. Bone Grafting: Procedures to augment bone structure for implants or other reconstructive needs. General Anesthesia and Sedation: A strong emphasis is placed on patient comfort and safety, with various anesthesia options including local, IV sedation, oral sedation, and nitrous oxide. The practice prides itself on its team of highly skilled and experienced oral and maxillofacial surgeons. Dr. Stephen A. Bankston, for instance, is a prominent surgeon at AOFS, practicing out of their Cumberland office (located at 294 Interstate N Cir SE Suite 100, Atlanta, GA 30339). Dr. Bankston received his DMD from the University of Pennsylvania and completed his residency at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, followed by a fellowship in craniofacial trauma and reconstructive surgery at the University of Miami. He has a special interest in computer-guided implantology and major reconstructive surgery and is also actively involved in community service through the Ben Massell Clinic. A unique aspect of AOFS is its centralized administrative support system, known as the AOFS Central Service Center. This allows the surgical staff at individual locations to focus entirely on patient care, safety, and comfort, by handling administrative duties, insurance complexities, and scheduling. This structure contributes to their high standards of care and efficiency. AOFS has also engaged in strategic partnerships, such as with Blue Sea Capital and Bay Area Oral Surgery Management (BAOSM) to form Beacon Oral Specialists, further solidifying its position as a leading independent oral surgery provider in the U.S. Their commitment to continuous improvement is evident in their regular surgeon meetings, ensuring consistent high-quality care and shared best practices across all locations.

Dr. Bankston and his staff were amazing. They went out of their way to make me comfortable while extracting 3 teeth with cavities and cracking. (I'm a teeth clincher who neglected cleanings during covid and busy life schedule with work and 3 kids. ) I was given the opportunity to ask questions, did not feel rushed. Then, I felt nothing during the procedure and was prescribed something for anxiety to take 30 minutes prior the the operation. Dr. Bankston had such a caring way about him and said "We're going to get you feeling better soon!" The office was lovely, well appointed, possibly newly decorated and very clean. You could tell all precautions for covid were being taken.

The staff were wonderful. I was treated like I was a friend. It felt like there were 4 nurses assisting Dr. Bankston during the procedure. (This is a guess from before I dozed off) One was monitoring my medication and IV & the others were assisting with the extractions and monitoring my vitals. Everything finished and I woke up without knowing what happened. I was able to go pick up pain medication and antibiotics immediately after the appointment, with my mother driving. When I got home, I had a question about gauze and someone quickly answered and explained how to continue using and when to take out. I was foggy when I left their office and couldn't quite remember.

Care package with ice pack, extra gauze, and a salt-water cleaning kit were provided. I received a call that evening from a nurse checking on my well-being! This is an outstanding place to go should you need to visit. I was actually excited the day of procedure because they got me in so quickly and I knew after the recovery I was going to feel like a new person. Recovery was an expected 3-1/2 days. But I was provided enough medication to get through. Thank you Dr. Bankston and team! You are fantastic! I'll definitely recommend your practice to friends and family. I'm on day five and have no pain. Visited in January 2022

I wanted to share my experience with Dr. Bankston, which was wonderful. I had 2 teeth extracted at recommendation by my orthodontist and they had also recommended Dr. Bankston to us. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted and treated very respectfully by the staff.

I was nervous since it was my first time, but when I met Dr. Bankston he was very nice and professional and quickly eased my worries. I didn’t feel a thing when under the anesthesia. After the surgery, there was no additional pain and I recovered very quickly. Would recommend going to him for your next surgery!

My grandmother went to Dr. Bankston, who has already done two surgeries for her prior. She is a patient with multiple myeloma, a bone marrow cancer that has affected her quality of life for decades. She went to Dr. Bankston for a third surgery to fix the issues with her teeth and he turned her away because ‘he doesn’t work on people with gum issues’.

What were the previous two surgeries? Dreams? Fiction? He was very rude and when she called back to very nicely request an apology she received no response. Not to mention the fact she doesn’t have a gum issue it is a cancer that has affected her gums. Two different things. I’d give no stars if I could, hope you have the day you that deserve.

Dear Dr. Bankston and Team, I am writing to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional care provided to my son, Christian, during his recent Wisdom Teeth Removal procedure. From the initial consultation to the post-operative care, your team's commitment to patient well-being was truly remarkable. The attentiveness and support extended to my son and myself were both comforting and valuable. I was especially impressed by the follow-up call this afternoon, a testament to the genuine care and professionalism displayed by your practice.

As a public health professional myself, I deeply appreciate the high standard of care and service demonstrated by Dr. Bankston and the entire team. I have no hesitation in recommending your practice to anyone in need of Oral Surgery. Thank you for your exceptional care and dedication to patient well-being. Warm regards, Tamekia Evans, PhD, MPH
