Dual-Degree Surgical Care You Can Trust
Dr. Paul Cho is a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon with a rare dual-degree background in both dentistry and medicine. As one of the only oral surgeons in the Atlanta area holding both a D.M.D. and an M.D., Dr. Cho brings hospital-level expertise into a boutique private practice setting — helping families access surgical care with the comfort and continuity of an in-house team.
He performs all surgical procedures on-site, including:
- Wisdom Teeth Removal

In-Office Surgery with Hospital-Level Standards
At many general dental offices, patients are referred off-site for extractions or sedation. With Dr. Cho on the team, families have access to:
- Surgical care performed on-site in a familiar environment
- IV sedation monitored by a board-certified pediatric anesthesiologist
- A fully coordinated clinical plan with your child’s primary dentist and orthodontist
- Better communication, continuity, and outcomes
This model is especially ideal for teens and young adults undergoing:
- Wisdom teeth removal
- Extractions to support braces
- Complex cases requiring bone evaluation or sedation
Supporting Safe Sedation Dentistry for All Ages
Dr. Cho plays a key role in the practice’s Sedation Dentistry program, ensuring surgical patients — and those with dental anxiety — can be treated safely and comfortably, without hospital admission or off-site surgical centers.
Options include:
- IV sedation for surgical or extensive treatment cases
- Oral conscious sedation for longer procedures
- Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) for mild anxiety
Dr. Cho collaborates closely with the practice’s pediatric anesthesiologist to ensure all sedation cases meet the highest safety standards — right here in the office.
Focused on Teens, Young Adults & Complex Cases
Dr. Cho is especially focused on supporting teens and young adults through:
- Preventive imaging and evaluation of wisdom teeth
- Coordination with the Orthodontics team for timing of extractions
- Minimally invasive techniques for better recovery
- Clinical planning that fits academic calendars, sports schedules, and college prep
If your child has been told they need extractions, surgery, or sedation — Dr. Cho’s presence means you can get expert-level care without leaving the practice.
