She practiced dentistry in Boston and Toronto before moving to Atlanta and opening a private practice in 1994. Today, Dr. Puskas is active in a number of professional organizations. Most notably, she became the first female president and program chairwoman of the <a href=\"https:\/\/hinman.org\" target=\"_blank\">Hinman Dental Society<\/a> in 2013. The Society, which focuses on continuing education for the whole dental team, is comprised of 800 dentist members in Atlanta, one of the large chapters in the country.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Anna Refai graduated with honors from the University of Chicago. Her interest in dentistry stems from a sledding accident when she was a child and needed to spend several years wearing braces in order to correct her smile. She augmented her formal dental education with advanced training. Dr. Refai completed a general practice residency and is able to offer patients a wide variety of specialized services including dental implants, periodontal surgery, wisdom teeth extraction and full-mouth cosmetic dental care.<\/p>\n<h2>Comprehensive Dental Services from Your Dentist in Atlanta<\/h2>\n<p>Whether you need to maintain your healthy smile, repair a damaged tooth or create a brand new and beautiful smile, you\u2019ll find all the services you need in our office. We begin with preventive dental care designed to help you enjoy the best of dental and oral health. In keeping with the recommendation of the American Dental Association, Drs.
