Oral Surgery Specialists of Atlanta: Dr. Drew Shessel

Oral surgery often bridges the gap between dental care and medical procedures, handling everything from impacted wisdom teeth to reconstructive jaw work. Oral Surgery Specialists of Atlanta operates in this space, offering services that range from tooth extractions to corrective jaw surgery. The practice sits along Howell Mill Road, a stretch of Atlanta that blends medical offices with pockets of residential quiet.

The suite—number 240 at 3280 Howell Mill Rd NW—puts it in a part of town where midtown’s energy starts to give way to the more spread-out feel of Buckhead’s western edge. Oral surgeons here typically address issues like dental implants, bone grafting, and facial trauma repair, the kind of work that requires both precision and a steady hand. These procedures aren’t the routine cleanings or fillings most people associate with dental visits; they’re the specialized interventions that follow accidents, chronic conditions, or complex tooth loss.

Directions are straightforward if you’re coming from I-75 or the connector, though afternoon traffic near Howell Mill and I-85 can test anyone’s patience. The office’s location makes it accessible for patients arriving from Vinings or Smyrna as well, not just those in the immediate midtown area. For anyone mapping out the trip, a quick check of the directions helps avoid the usual snags around Braves games or rush hour.

Questions about procedures or scheduling are best directed to the front desk. Reach them at (404) 351-5335—no need to navigate automated menus just to ask about recovery timelines or insurance coordination. The area’s mix of medical practices means parking fills up fast on weekdays, so arriving a few minutes early never hurts.
