Dental Education
Dr. Gilreath graduated from The Medical College of Georgia School of Dentistry in 1991 and then returned to Marietta to start a private practice. He worked with his father for 20 years. That partnership continued a family tradition of care in Marietta dating back to 1962 — a tradition built on treating patients like family and making decisions based on what’s right for them, never on what an insurance company will allow. Dr. Gilreath’s interest in cosmetic dentistry and helping people enhance their smiles propelled him to learn and practice advanced techniques in the art of smile design and dental reconstructive techniques.

Dr. Gilreath has advanced training in orthodontics and facial Esthetics, including Dental Sleep Medicine. He is one of the South’s leading Invisalign dentists and is a Gold Plus Level provider.
