As Duluth’s premier dentist, practicing dentistry for over ten years, Dr. Gerald McFadden strives to give his patients comprehensive quality care with a personal touch. He provides an emphasis in preventive, restorative, and aesthetic dentistry. His primary goal is to maximize the comfort and satisfaction of each patient’s dental experience.

After earning an undergraduate Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from the University of Maryland, Dr. McFadden worked for a private biochemical company. He spent several years researching safe and effective means of treating plants. He is also responsible for several published papers.

Motivated by his need to further contribute to society, Dr. McFadden enrolled and was accepted into the University of Maryland School of Dental Surgery. After graduating in 1998, he was accepted as a resident in the US Army General Practice residency.

Following graduating from his residency, Dr. McFadden remained in the military, assigned to the 15th Aviation Brigade at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. He later relocated to Atlanta and worked as an associate dentist in a large group practice. Deciding to be further challenged, Dr. McFadden branched out to start his own practice. His belief is that his work is filled with challenges; to him, a challenge presents an opportunity to problem-solve more creatively and see that his patients get the most successful dental results possible.

Dr. McFadden’s practice - SmileDesign Dental has experienced continuous, exponential growth. This rapid growth can be attributed to his dedication to continuing education and comprehensive dental care for his patients. He enjoys using his knowledge, skills, and experience to help people look attractive and feel good about the beauty of their appearance.
