Dr. Paul Cho, Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon in Atlanta

Dr. James was born in Saint Lucia and grew up in South Carolina where he was an athletic and social kid. He has always been interested in art and the medical field. It wasn’t until his senior year of college studying Biology at the University of Georgia that he realized he could pair his love of art and medicine with dentistry. A career in dentistry, and especially as a restorative dentist, would be just the way to mix these two passions. After the University of Georgia, Dr. James attended medical college in Augusta, Georgia. 

‍

During his time as a restorative dentistr, Dr. James has enjoyed serving others in other countries who have dental needs but not the means to receive treatment. He has gone on various humanitarian trips to Honduras, Nicaragua, Brazil, and India to do dental work for those in need. 

‍

Why Nuvia

Dr James was drawn towards Nuvia’s innovative process of restoring smiles through dental implants. Prior to Nuvia he had done full mouth restoration dentistry for many years. Having seen first hand the traditional method of doing dental implants and how long that can take, he loves that he can now help patients receive permanent teeth in 24 hours instead of waiting what may be 10+ months before getting them. You can now find Dr James at Nuvia’s Atlanta clinic, changing lives as a restorative dentist.

‍

Giving patients brand new smiles in 24 hours is very fulfilling for Dr. James. His personal philosophy is, “The more you smile, the better the world becomes''. He is committed to giving patients the best care and providing them with smiles that they love and can confidently share.

‍

To those considering working with Nuvia, Dr James says, “We want you to look good, we want you to feel good”. Dr. James and everyone at the Atlanta office is dedicated to making sure every patient leaves feeling comfortable at Nuvia and confident with their new smile.

‍

Having loved sketching and art as a kid, Dr. Cho knew he always wanted to work with hands and explore careers with opportunities to be creative. After settling on dentistry, he realized the difference he could make in patients’ lives through oral surgery.

‍

Why Nuvia

As an oral surgeon with the Nuvia team in Atlanta, Dr. Cho feels that what Nuvia can do is really special. Providing patients with their permanent set of teeth in 24 hours is a drastically different experience than traditional methods that may have patients waiting for up to 10+ months for their permanent teeth.

‍

Outside of the Office

When he isn’t working as an oral surgeon, Dr. Cho loves to spend time with his family. Growing up playing basketball, he enjoys any opportunity to play.
