“- Dr. Taz, Bella, and Ebony are phenomenal and made me and my husband feel comfortable the moment we walked in the door. I have never had dental issues before and now that I’m experiencing some I wasn’t feeling confident about treatment options until now. Dr. Taz explains everything beautifully and thoroughly and is super patient and allows me to respond and ask questions without feeling rushed. He put my mind at ease right off the bat and it took the overwhelm out of what I was experiencing immediately. I so highly recommend considering Elk Dental for peace of mind and a wonderful experience!”

A decline in testosterone levels can lead to oral health issues like gum recession and tooth loss.

A possible explanation is related to an increased growth of harmful bacteria and blood vessel integrity stimulated by altered hormones (Steffens, Wang, et al., 2015).

It has been also proposed that testosterone could affect the gum defenses against inflammation (Gornstein, Lapp, Bustos-Valdes, & Zamorano, 1999).

Stay on top of your health with routine dentist visits and talk to your healthcare provider about managing testosterone levels as you age.

Men’s Health Month reminder:

Did you know men are statistically more likely to delay preventive healthcare visits, including dental care?

Routine dental visits help identify issues early before they become more expensive, uncomfortable, or complex.

Preventive care is easier than reactive care.

You might think the best compliment a dentist can get is that they are "pain-free". Well, what if we strive for more? Elk Dental Decatur prioritizes ease and comfort.

Think less clinical, more calming; the kind of experience that helps you forget you’re at the dentist.

Decatur Recreation Center is an iconic landmark in the heart of the Decatur. Built in 1958, it serves as a hub of community connection, vitality, and celebration.

Today Elk Dental Decatur is participating in Decatur rec. health fair.

It is always a pleasure to engage with with our community and be able to answer questions, offer guidance, and as always, help bring out the best smiles in people.

Teeth whitening works best on a clean, healthy foundation.

If there's buildup or staining, your results wont't be as even or as long lasting.

That's why at Elk Dental Decatur we often recommend a cleaning before starting any cosmetic treatment for best results. When was your last visit?

One perk of working late on Tuesdays (yes, 11 am to 7 pm!) at Elk Dental Decatur, isn't only to offer our patients scheduling flexibility, but to offer our staff time to run important errands, like the one pictured, here! ...voting.

Today is Georgia Primary Elections, and the polls close at 7pm.

Some of the best teams I've had the privilege to work with had one thing in common, a great culture.

If you first enter a new dental practice and are looking for the best predictor of your experience and outcome, look no further past the staff cohesiveness and a family-like environment. Our friends at Hiram & Greenbriar embody that daily.

At Elk Dental Decatur, our staff is meticulously selected based on their character qualities, experience, but equally important, their interpersonal skills.

This review is especially dear to our hearts because it captures our three core values; comfort, convenience, and sustainability.

Comfort before, durning, and after your visit. Convenient in all logistics around your visit. And sustainable from infra structure, people and planet commitment, to day-to-day operations.

It's the highlight of our day when we deliver on all three promises, and for you to take note of it.

Welcome to Elk Dental Decatur, Mr Weiss. We're glad you're now part of our growing community.

Did you know oral health can change during different stages of life?

Hormonal changes can impact gum health, sensitivity, and inflammation.

That’s why consistent cleanings and exams matter more than most people realize.

If it’s been a while since your last visit, now is a great time to get back on track.

Online self scheduling is available now at Elk Dental Decatur. We look forward to seeing you.
