Dr. Samuel Scott Batterton

My dental practice philosophy is simple: We treat people, who happen to have dental problems, as we would want to be treated. We provide most general dental services as needed in people of all ages. Some of my favorite patients are 5 years old and some are in their 80's. We can accommodate folks in wheel chairs. My staff and I attend dental continuing education courses regularly and are up to date on materials used in dentistry as well as techniques and treatments. My staff is outstanding. Each person understands her role on the team and functions to make your appointment time as on time, and easy for you as possible. Thanks for considering our practice to meet your dental needs!!

Biography:
Hello, Thanks for the opportunity to introduce myself to you. I am a graduate of Emory University School of Dentistry, completing Dental School in 1976. (Can it possibly be that long?) After dental school I entered the US Navy for three years where I completed rotations in each dental specialty. This reinforced my decision to remain a "generalist" in dentistry.

My practice opened here in Lilburn in July of 1979 and I have been here since. Soon after arriving the chance to become involved in the community via politics became available and I was appointed to the Lilburn City merit board, serving until 1984 at which time I was elected to the city council serving until 1990. During this interval the Georgia Army National Guard beckoned and I answered the call to join. Operation Desert Storm came along in 1990 and I spent 4 months 10 days and about 8 hours on active duty, honing my skills as a triage officer in a field medical company. Upon returning to my practice I found that politics was still an interest and in 1996 was elected Mayor of Lilburn, serving for eight years. I am currently serving as a city councilman in my second term. My retirement from the Army Guard became official in April of 2002.
