Dentist's License Suspended Amid Patient Health Crisis

The Georgia Board of Dentistry has suspended the license of Dr. Justin Scott, a 44-year-old dentist practicing in Atlanta. This emergency suspension follows reliable reports from multiple patients detailing severe health complications and substandard care at his Pure Dental Health practice. Patients have reported issues ranging from failed dental implants leading to bone necrosis to significant root resorption and the need for corrective treatment due to poor initial care.

Furthermore, an inspection of Scott's facilities uncovered pervasive failures in sanitary practices, sterilization, and infection control. Violations included improper sterilization techniques, unmaintained logs, expired supplies, and inadequate equipment. The board concluded that Dr. Scott's continued practice posed an immediate threat to public health and safety, necessitating the summary suspension of his license. He is also accused of engaging in deceitful billing and treatment planning, with one patient allegedly being misled about the scope and cost of their treatment plan.
