MEET THE FOUNDER
Edward J. Mills, DDS
A Lifetime Dedicated to Restorative Dentistry, Implant Innovation, and Patient Care
Dr. Edward J. Mills is the founder of the Atlanta Center for Restorative Dentistry and has devoted more than four decades to the practice and advancement of restorative and implant dentistry. His career has been defined by a commitment to solving complex dental problems through comprehensive diagnosis, thoughtful treatment planning, and an understanding of both the surgical and restorative aspects of patient care.
Experience That Shapes Every Treatment
Dr. Edward J. Mills has spent more than four decades practicing restorative and implant dentistry, with a career shaped by the evolution of modern dental implantology and complex oral rehabilitation. His experience has included everything from comprehensive restorative care to implant surgery, bone reconstruction, full-arch rehabilitation, and the management of challenging cases requiring both surgical and restorative expertise.
Throughout his career, Dr. Mills has worked alongside, studied with, and learned from many of the clinicians who helped pioneer modern implant dentistry. Those experiences helped shape a philosophy that remains central to his practice today: successful dentistry begins with understanding the entire patient, not simply treating an individual tooth.
That perspective influences every diagnosis and treatment plan. Dr. Mills evaluates the relationship between the teeth, bite, supporting bone, soft tissues, facial structure, aesthetics, and function before determining how a problem should be treated.
After decades in dentistry, his objective remains remarkably simple: preserve what can be preserved, rebuild what has been lost, and create treatment designed to serve the patient for years to come.
A Career at the Forefront of Implant Dentistry
Dr. Mills has dedicated his career to the evolution of modern implant dentistry. With decades of hands-on experience in implant placement, bone grafting, and sinus augmentation, he has remained at the leading edge of regenerative techniques. His mastery of complex restorative reconstruction and full-arch rehabilitation is built on a commitment to clinical precision and patient-friendly innovation, including advanced therapies like PRF to ensure optimal healing and long-term success.
Educator and Mentor
A Career Dedicated to Advancing Dental Education
Dr. Mills’ passion for education continues through Advanced Dental Implant Studies (ADIS), an advanced continuing education program created to bring experienced clinicians together for focused, practical learning in implant and restorative dentistry.
Through ADIS, Dr. Mills brings together respected clinicians, educators, and innovators to share their knowledge in areas such as implant surgery, complex treatment planning, bone and soft-tissue regeneration, PRF, restorative rehabilitation, and emerging technologies.
The program combines lectures, clinical discussion, hands-on education, and mentorship with an emphasis on techniques that can be translated into everyday patient care.
For Dr. Mills, ADIS represents more than continuing education. It reflects a lifelong commitment to learning from the leaders of today, sharing decades of clinical experience, and helping prepare the next generation of dentists to deliver comprehensive, advanced care.
