I was referred to Dr. Fletcher and this office by my dentist, for evaluation and was quoted a rate of $175 total, to include x-rays and any examination, I agreed and booked the appointment. The office was very cold, kept at 60 degrees. While the dental hygienist was very kind and informative, the "doctor" was more about blaming me for grinding my teeth (involuntary),and was pushing implants. Total would have been more than $18,000. (without the teeth). I declined and moved on. Sadly, though I paid the $175 quoted to me, I was billed later for an additional $150. I felt cheated since that was never explained up front. Unfortunately, cannot recommend.

Very professional staff. Dr Fletcher was great and very reassuring and he even called to check on me personally after surgery. One of the best dental experiences I’ve ever had. I don’t have medical insurance but they were very informative regarding my options.

Had to cancel surgery due to inadequate funds, the receptionist sounded like I was bothering her, very unsympathic, and it was only after I told them I was denied from Care Credit that I could pay installments leading up to the surgery. Why wasn't that info presented at the very start? I denounce America and humanity, you ALL sicken me.

All this place cares about is money. Lied to by staff, will send out bills if you decline surgery. Would give zero stars if possible.

About Northwest Georgia Periodontics
Northwest Georgia Periodontics and Implant Dentistry is a periodontal specialty practice with offices in Rome and Cartersville, Georgia. The Rome office is located at 1951 J.L. Todd Drive. The practice describes a periodontist as a dentist who specializes in preventing, diagnosing, and treating gum disease along with placing and maintaining dental implants. Dental implants are a core part of the practice's services, and the office explains them as titanium artificial tooth roots placed in the jaw by a periodontal surgeon, with the replacement tooth typically completed afterward by the patient's general dentist. The practice emphasizes teamwork with your general dentist and yearly follow-up visits to monitor bone and gum health around the implant.
Beyond implants, the practice offers a full range of periodontal treatment, including scaling and root planing, bone grafting, osseous surgery, gingivectomy, tissue grafting, frenectomy, bite adjustment, cosmetic periodontal surgery, and ongoing supportive periodontal care. For patients who are anxious about surgery, the website notes that both office locations are certified by the State of Georgia to provide intravenous conscious sedation, and other sedation options are available in addition to local anesthetic. Patients can reach the Rome office at (706) 234-5353 to ask questions or schedule a consultation.
