Detailed Introduction

Georgia Periodontics is a long-standing and highly respected dental practice specializing in periodontics and dental implantology, serving the Atlanta metropolitan area, including Decatur, Peachtree Corners, Duluth, and Dunwoody, since its establishment in 1968. For over five decades, the practice has been at the forefront of periodontal excellence, consistently integrating advanced techniques and research-backed treatments. The practice is led by a team of highly skilled periodontists, notably Dr. Mark T. Litterer and Dr. Aubrey H. Scher. Dr. Litterer, a graduate with highest honors from Furman University and the Medical University of South Carolina, completed his rigorous three-year residency at the University of Kentucky's periodontics program. He is renowned for his innovative and minimally invasive procedures in dental implant placement and soft/hard tissue reconstruction for gum disease. Dr. Scher, who distinguished himself at Indiana University and the University of Pennsylvania, is recognized for his patient-centered approach and revolutionary treatment frameworks that blend cutting-edge technology with precision, significantly elevating success rates even in complex cases. Both doctors are committed to continuous learning and are active members of professional organizations like the American Academy of Periodontology. Georgia Periodontics offers a comprehensive range of specialized services designed to address various periodontal concerns and tooth loss: Dental Implants: As specialists in the supporting structures of the mouth, they are uniquely qualified to place and maintain dental implants, offering solutions for single tooth replacement to full-arch restorations, including "New Teeth in One Day" procedures. Gum Disease Treatment: They provide expert diagnosis and treatment for all stages of gum disease (gingivitis and periodontitis), utilizing advanced techniques such as scaling and root planing (deep cleaning), antibiotic therapy, and minimally invasive laser periodontal treatment (Waterlase dental laser) to remove damaged tissue and promote healing. Bone Grafting: For patients who have experienced bone loss due to periodontal disease, trauma, or tooth loss, they offer bone grafting procedures to replenish bone tissue and prepare for implant placement. Soft Tissue Grafts (Gum Grafts): They perform procedures to cover exposed tooth roots caused by gum recession, reduce further recession, and minimize the risk of bone loss and decay. Cosmetic Periodontal Surgery: This includes procedures like crown lengthening to reshape gum tissue and reveal more of the tooth, and gum contouring to correct "gummy smiles" and create a more harmonious gum line. Sedation Options: Understanding that many patients may experience anxiety, Georgia Periodontics offers various sedation options, including oral and intravenous (IV) sedation, to ensure a comfortable and stress-free experience. Gum Biopsies: They perform biopsies for non-healing sores, ulcers, lesions, or other abnormalities in the gum tissue to ensure accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment planning. The practice emphasizes a patient-first philosophy, evident in their commitment to never overbooking appointments, utilizing state-of-the-art technology like CBCT scanners for precise treatment planning, and offering four convenient locations to ensure accessibility. Their dedication to quality clinical care is complemented by exceptional customer service and clear communication, fostering long-standing relationships built on trust and outstanding outcomes.

I have been a patient at GA Periodontics since 1974. I have had surgery twice, and continue to see the hygienist and doc every 6 months. I can’t say enough good things about the entire staff! Everyone is always helpful, pleasant, and highly professional. A great place to go!!!

Excellent! The staff was so kind. Dr. Litterer made me feel extremely comfortable about the procedure. No pressure what so ever, and he took his time to explain everything to me in detail. I love when a doctor takes his time to make sure the patient understands.
