Meet Brad Dixon, DMD, MAGD
About Dr. Dixon
You've probably seen the initials DMD, FAGD, and MAGD but have you ever really thought about what they mean? Dr. Dixon has dedicated his working career to becoming a true Doctor of Dental Medicine and earning the distinction of Fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry (which requires an additional 1,100 hours of continuing education). Why? Because he believes that each patient deserves that level of expertise. He then went on to become a Master in the Academy of General Dentistry.
Dr. Dixon knows Georgia and the people who live here – he is a native of Gainesville and has raised his own family in this area. He graduated from Oxford College, and obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in chemistry from Emory in 1980. The Medical College of Georgia School of Dentistry granted his Doctorate of Dental Medicine in 1984, and he moved directly into private practice.
Commitment to Education
But Dr. Dixon believes that education isn't "once and done." His commitment to continuing education includes the L. D. Pankey Institute for Advanced Dental Education (Continuums I-IV); a comprehensive series from Creating Restorative Excellence, Inc.; Anesthesia and Pain Control from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York; the Esthetic Dentistry Continuum from Louisiana State University School of Dentistry; Institute for Advanced Laser Dentistry continuum in LANAP technique; the Georgia AGD MasterTrack course; attendance at BioRESEARCH Associates, Inc; BioPAK certification in Electrognathic Studies – and the list continues to grow.

"Everyone was extremely compassionate and caring, from the receptionist to the dental assistants to Dr. Dixon himself. No lectures about how it was a tooth that the doctor had warned me about over a year ago, and no judgmental behavior about how I'd missed my last 2 (okay maybe 3) check-up appointments. I think it's about time I take my oral health seriously, so I'm certain that I will follow Dr. Dixon's recommendations this time, starting with my periodical check-up appointments. Thank you Dr. Dixon, Sherri, Jennifer, Susan, and the rest of the staff."
