Welcome to our blog! We’re excited to begin using this space to share important oral health information, advice, and to answer your burning questions about all things teeth and gums! At the helm of our practice is Dr. Timothy Jackson<\/a>, who for over 40 years, has proudly cared for the gorgeous grins of the people of Elba and has earned the distinct honor of treating multiple generations of patients during that time. Come take a closer look at why families in our community trust Dr. Jackson and the team with their stunning smiles, and how we can help you and your family protect your oral health for a lifetime!<\/p>

Meet Dr. Timothy Jackson<\/h2>

Dr. Timothy Jackson earned his undergraduate degree at the University of Alabama in 1981, and his DMD at the University of Alabama at Birmingham four years later. He has proudly served the Elba community ever since!<\/p>

Passionate about continuing education and further honing his skills, Dr. Jackson frequently takes a variety of continuing education courses in topics such as CEREC same-day crowns, dental implants, clear aligners, root canals, cosmetic dentistry, and even aesthetic facial treatments<\/a> like BOTOX and dermal fillers. He is a proud, active member of the American Dental Association, Alabama Dental Association, Academy of General Dentistry and the American Academy of Facial Esthetics.<\/p>

What Sets Us Apart<\/h2>

From the moment you walk through our doors and meet Dr. Jackson and the team<\/a>, it’s easy to see why our patients are so loyal!  Between his vast dental knowledge and skills, broad range of treatment options, and of course his caring and friendly personality, many members of our community have trusted us with their oral health for their entire lives.<\/p>

While taking care of your teeth and gums at home is one of the best ways to ensure your mouth stays healthy and strong, the skills of your dentist as well as the treatments they offer can only improve your odds. That’s why we’re proud to provide a variety of procedures ranging from preventive exams and cleanings to restorations like fillings and dental crowns, replacement options like dentures, bridges, and dental implants, and even cosmetic dentistry procedures such as veneers and teeth whitening.<\/p>

We also proudly offer same-day emergency care and sedation options<\/a> for patients who need a little extra help staying comfortable during treatment.<\/p>

Come Say Hello!<\/h2>

Whether you’re looking for a new dentist to provide preventive care for you and your family, are seeking cosmetic upgrades to make your gorgeous grin photo-ready, are suffering from a dental emergency, or if the time is right to replace missing teeth and bring back your healthy smile, we’re proud to offer a full selection of options right here in Elba.
