Discover How Great Dental Health Can Change Your Life

We can help with simple check-ups or major smile makeovers that will amaze you. Special digital cameras catch tiny issues before they turn into big, costly problems. We can make CEREC crowns and other repairs during your visit, which means fewer trips to our office.

Feeling scared about dental work is common, so we've made our office feel like a calm, happy place. Our rooms are designed to help you relax completely. If you need extra help to feel comfortable, gentle sedation makes procedures feel like they're over in minutes.

Understanding your mouth helps you take better care of it at home. We use detailed photos to show you exactly what we see inside your mouth.

Medical researchers continue finding amazing connections between mouth health and your overall wellness. When your gums are unhealthy, you have higher chances of getting heart problems, diabetes, and other serious diseases. Keeping your mouth clean is good for your general well-being.

Here's what we can do for your family:

  • Check-ups and deep professional cleanings
  • Tooth-colored fillings that look natural
  • Strong, beautiful crowns and bridges for damaged teeth
  • Safe whitening treatments that make dramatic improvements
  • Dental implants that work exactly like your real teeth
  • Nearly invisible aligners that straighten teeth
  • Advanced care for gum disease and infections
  • Simple root canal treatments that save your teeth
  • Gentle tooth removal when absolutely necessary
  • Special mouthguards for sleep apnea and snoring

Every person who visits us should leave feeling excited about their smile and their experience. We focus on giving you incredible results while keeping you comfortable from start to finish. All our treatments have been tested by dental experts and used successfully for many years.

Your mouth affects how you look, speak, eat, and feel about yourself every single day. When you choose our office, you get professionals who truly care about making your life better. We've made excellent dental care simple, enjoyable, and affordable.

Take the first step toward a healthier, happier you.

This was the BEST dentist office I had ever been in. It was absolutely wonderful. The people was very pleasant. Very nice. Was very concerned about your comfort and your well-being. They could hold an intelligent conversation with you. Didn't make you feel less than it was. Definitely a one-of-a-kind experience for me. I would advise every single person that I know to go to this dentistry. They are very very welcoming. You will not have a problem in going back to these people. The only sad part about it is I can only give five stars. Love these people! I am so glad that I chose them.

They work with you and your schedule to find the most convenient time and are willing to do what is necessary to get you accommodated. Would not go anywhere else, as I totally trust Dr Elrod and his staff.

I’ve been a patient with dr. Elrod for 20 plus years. Hands down the best dentist in the country! All the work I’ve had done is the best quality and lasts. I still have some CEREC that have lasted over 20 years. This is the only dentist I’ve been to that I’m actually excited to go to.

Above and beyond exceptional service!! The office is stunning and the staff are exceptional. I'm definitely appreciative of the tour and gift! Very friendly and knowledgeable. They took their time and didn't make me feel like just another patient. Most importantly, I felt comfortable and heard. My only regret is not becoming a new patient sooner. Never had an experience like that at a dental office before! Thank you DDS!

Wow 🤩 The staff here is amazing! As a new patient the receptionist gave me a tour of the facility and I received a welcome gift! The staff is friendly and caring. Big thank you to Dr. E who took his time explaining everything and wanted to make sure I was comfortable and happy.

I did an in office teeth whitening appointment. I thought front staff very friendly and my appointment was on time. They actually accommodated an earlier time for me. I am pleased with the results and would definitely recommend this facility! The staff was very friendly and listened to my concerns.
