Mr Richard R. Gartner

Dr. Richard Gartner received both his dental degree and periodontics certification at the University of Nebraska.  He has been a Diplomate in the American Board of Periodontology since 1978.  A Diplomate is a periodontist who has made significant achievements beyond the mandatory educational requirements of the specialty.  These achievements include comprehensive qualifying and oral examinations in all phases of periodontal disease and its treatment, as well as dental implants. One of Dr. Gartner's greatest strengths is his experience.  Dr. Gartner has been practicing periodontics for over 30 years and was one of the first doctors to use the original Swedish Branemark Implant system in Severna Park. He brings compassion to patients who may be fearful of dental treatment and tries to provide the highest quality of non-surgical treatment first. When surgical therapy is recommended, he has the experience, knowledge, and expertise to apply necessary treatment. Dr. Gartner came to Annapolis in 1972, to serve as the Periodontist at the U.S. Naval Academy.   He lived on the Eastern Shore for fifteen years and now resides in Severna Park with his wife and two daughters. His hobbies revolve around fishing, hunting, hiking and camping.
