I operate a dental practice with the intention of providing exceptional care appropriate to each individual. This is done in a very gentle manner. It is my goal to have a trust-oriented relationship with those we treat. I serve with an outstanding and highly experienced staff. My facility is modern and comfortable.
I have an extensive background in teaching dentistry. I have over 20 years of service as associate faculty at the L.D.Pankey Institute, a private post-doctoral college that teaches advanced techniques to dentists from the US and many foreign nations. Currently, I teach surgical and restorative techniques for dental implants. Additionally, I am an instructor at the Mercy Medical Center Dental Residency.
I have a particular interest in cosmetic and restorative dentistry, for which I have received national and international recognition. Through the development of well researched protocols, I have been able to consistently provide exceptional results.

You can expect a different experience when you visit our office. From the welcoming nature of the staff, to the artwork and living room-like waiting area, we strive to have you feel comfortable. We are not just a dental office. We are a community which includes Doctor, staff, patients and their families. We have three generations of patients and occasionally attend graduation parties, weddings and retirement events. Because of the quality of care and caring that patients receive, they may continue to see us even if the move from the area. We have patients from all over the United States as well as England and other areas outside the States.
Our highly competent and compassionate staff participates in monthly educational meetings on dentistry and emergency medical procedures. This combined with their years of experience assures for respectful and professional care.
Each day is a learning experience, something new and different. I hope to use this knowledge to be helpful to Dr. Elefterin and to the patients. I want to strive for the patients to be comfortable and enjoy their experience with us.
We support the community by providing school supplies, hats, mittens, gloves, scarves, underwear and sox, as well as toiletries to area schools and organizations in need. Our patients contribute by donating money, providing and buying used books from our library, and buying raffle tickles when we raffle artwork.

In 2009 we had our young patients create self-portraits showing their smiles. These were hung in the reception room and patients voted on their favorites. Photos from Alexis (9), Kennady (8), & Aleena (5)
