Dr. Justin Scott, a dentist in Atlanta, has filed a petition to regain his license suspended by the Georgia Board of Dentistry over allegations of poor orthodontic work. His lawyer argues the board's action was unlawful after months of inaction following inspections. Patients have reported severe issues, including bone necrosis and loss of teeth.

Dr. Justin Scott of Pure Dental Health in Atlanta filed an emergency petition on Monday seeking a temporary restraining order against the Georgia Board of Dentistry's suspension order. His attorney, Matthew S. Coles, claims the board knew of the allegations by June 2025, inspected Scott's practices in Dunwoody and Atlanta on September 10, 2025, and took no emergency action for six months. Coles argues the issues, such as implant placement and root resorption, warrant peer review, not immediate suspension, and that no expert opinion shows patient endangerment has occurred. The suspension has shuttered Scott's Buckhead practice, left 12 employees unemployed, disrupted patient care, and devalued his $2.1 million practice to a $300,000 offer, Coles stated in the petition obtained by Law & Crime. Scott's petition highlights 'permanent and irreparable' harm from the board's decision. The board's suspension order details multiple offenses from poor orthodontic treatments. Patient M.G. took a $20,000 loan for implants that failed, causing bone necrosis at two sites due to poor placement, according to the order. Another patient faces significant root resorption risking loss of front teeth, while others required corrections including removal of lower implants and fixes for occlusal issues, the order states. Former patients described devastating outcomes. 'I have no teeth, I have no functional teeth,' Tangie Larkin told WSB-TV. Patrick Archibald said he 'can barely talk' and has 'no teeth' after five years, adding, 'My friends will tell you there are times I just sat there and cried and cried at night.' An investigation found extensive sanitary failures at Scott's facilities, including improper sterilization, opened instrument packs, expired supplies in procedure rooms, and missing maintenance logs, per the board.
