Dr. Timothy Resuta combines an exceptional education, extensive clinical experience, and personal dedication to improve his patients’ dental health.

Dr. Resuta grew up in Pennsylvania and attended King’s College in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, where he majored in Biology. He received his Doctorate of Dental Medicine (D.M.D.) from The University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine in 1994. During dental school he completed hospital internships at the Medical College of Pennsylvania and the Veterans Administration Medical Center Philadelphia. After graduating from Penn, he maintained a private dental practice in center city Philadelphia for nine years and held a hospital appointment at Pennsylvania Hospital on the active Medical Staff.

While maintaining his full-time private practice and his hospital privileges, Dr. Resuta received his Doctorate of Jurisprudence (J.D.) from The Widener University School of Law, with a primary focus on Health Care Law and Medical/Dental Malpractice Law. He remained at his full-time dental practice and also became a consultant for a prominent Philadelphia Medical Malpractice firm.

In 2003 Dr. Resuta and his family moved to Atlanta where he purchased the dental practice of Dr. O. Anderson Currie. Dr. Resuta instantly connected with his patients and enjoyed the sense of community established by Dr. Currie. With his expertise in cosmetic and implant dentistry and commitment to patient-focused care, Dr. Resuta quickly established himself as one of the top dentists in Atlanta. Dr. Resuta has extensive training in cosmetic, reconstructive, and implant dentistry and has completed hundreds of continuing education (C.E.) hours in postgraduate dentistry. Much of his C.E. now focuses on the highly acclaimed Spear Education and CEREC Curriculum, both taught at the Scottsdale Center for Advanced Dentistry. Additionally, he is actively involved in the Atlanta chapter of the prestigious Seattle Study Club, where he has held the position of faculty advisor for the past two years. Dr. Resuta is dedicated to the newest advancements in dentistry and keeps up-to-date with the latest technologies. While fully committed to his cosmetic and implant dental practice, he still finds time to provide malpractice consultations and expert witness services to attorneys on a limited basis.

Outside of his dental practice, Dr. Resuta is actively involved in the local community. He has volunteered at The Good Samaritan Health Center for over five years and is an avid supporter of Young Life Africa. He and his wife Maria both sponsor and support local charities and organization such as Road Safe America, CURE Childhood Cancer, Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, Compassion International, the Chastain Park Civic Association, Spotlight on Art, the Fernbank Museum, the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and the Atlanta History Center.

Dr. Resuta enjoys spending time with his wife and three children–together they travel, hike, run, ski, and snowboard. The family also spends a lot of time at the soccer fields!
