Mr Chris Barth

Dr. Barth was raised in Clinton, New Jersey and graduated from Muhlenberg College in Allentown, Pennsylvania with a Bachelor of Science degree in 2009. He earned his DMD from Harvard School of Dental Medicine in 2013 and soon thereafter completed a residency program in Periodontics at the Naval Postgraduate Dental School in Bethesda, Maryland, receiving his Masters in Oral Biology. He subsequently became Board Certified with the American Board of Periodontology in Periodontics and Dental Implant Surgery. Dr. Barth is well-versed and experienced in all aspects of Periodontics including dental implant placement, treatment of periodontal disease, oral pathology, laser applications, soft tissue and hard tissue grafting, IV sedation, as well as cosmetic procedures. His experience working side by side with Prosthodontists in the Navy using the latest technology in scanning and 3D printing allows him to see treatment approaches from both surgical and restorative perspectives. He also has experience with several research projects and is published in the International Journal of Periodontics and Restorative Dentistry. For the last ten years, Dr. Barth used his didactic and clinical expertise while serving alongside active duty service members of the US Navy. He was assigned as Department Head of Periodontics at Marine Corps Recruit Depot, Parris Island, South Carolina for three years alongside Sailors and Marines. His final tour was in Mayport, Florida where he was Division Officer of Periodontics at the Base Health Clinic, responsible for overseeing the oral health of personnel deploying on ships and aircraft. Dr. Barth has recently moved to the Maryland/DC area with his family and enjoys spending time with his wife Audrey and their dogs, Moose and Mila. They can usually be found exploring the outdoors and traveling. Dr. Barth is a big car enthusiast, holds a black belt in TaeKwonDo, has backpacked solo through Shenandoah on two different occasions and kayaks with Moose every chance he gets. He is very excited to join the ImplantsDC team especially after recently discovering that he and Dr. Puterman resided on the same street while living in the Boston suburb of Coolidge Corner.
