Dr. Elikofer grew up in Evansville, Indiana, where his family enjoyed the outdoors as much as the seasons would allow. They primarily enjoyed boating on the Ohio River and camping at the Land Between the Lakes in western Kentucky on the weekends.
Dr. Elikofer excelled in academic studies but also enjoyed 3D ceramic art in high school. As he pursued his post-secondary medical education, he found that dentistry was the perfect mix of art and medicine. He graduated from the Indiana University School of Dentistry and took a position with a traveling oral surgery team. Dr. Elikofer primarily focused his care on the treatment of hurting teeth that need to be removed or removal of teeth that patients wanted replaced with dental implants. These procedures always gave Dr. Elikofer the satisfaction of making huge impacts in a short amount of time. In 2018, Dr. Elikofer moved to Tampa, Florida, where he would study dental sleep medicine. Dental sleep medicine is the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea and snoring with the use of mandibular advancement devices. These devices assist to stabilize the airway at nighttime while we are sleeping. Dr. Elikofer joined Dr. Holcombe in January of 2022 and looks forward to finally serving the community in which a majority of his family resides.
Dr. Holcombe is originally from Richmond, Virginia. His interest in the dental industry originated from a mentorship experience with his own dentist in high school. Along with his cousin, Mitzi Gill, and Dr. William Gill, Holcombe studied how to become a master dentist.
He attained his bachelors in psychology from the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. He later went on to receive a Doctor of Dental Surgery in 1986 from the Medical College of Virginia. At the University of Maryland in Baltimore, he completed the General Practice Residency in advanced general dentistry.
In 1987, Dr. Holcombe joined Dr. William Gills practice and opened up a brand-new practice in Tampa in 1991. After purchasing that very practice, Dr. Holcombe opened up our current location in Tampa Palms.
Dr. Holcombe was a member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, where he learned leading-edge cosmetic treatments. He is a fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry, which allows him to stay updated with the latest techniques in the evolving dental industry. Dr. Holcombe has also mentored the Hornbrook Group on anterior aesthetics and live patient treatment.
His experience with the Pankey Institute and the Pete Dawson Group provided him with information to help patients with bite and TMJ issues. He received training from Misch International Implant Institute a world-renowned institution for implant training. He also received hands-on training from Dr. Tom Balshi at PI Institute the creator of Teeth in a Day.
Dr. Holcombe takes pride in providing clients with beautiful smiles in the cosmetic and dental implant industry. He utilizes advanced techniques to complete accurate restorations for Teeth in a Day and to make patients feel comfortable with sedation dentistry methods. Our team is dedicated to providing our patients with complete understanding and personalized dental care.

Finally found a dentist that is skilled and can help us. I have all my teeth except wisdom teeth. I paid a lot on root canal's and crowns. I want to keep them. Looking forward to a long relationship.

Today was my first visit and to say I was impressed was an understatement. It was honestly one of the best facilities I have ever been to! Everything was super clean and they had the latest technology to ensure my teeth were checked out at every angle. The team was also incredibly nice! They truly took the time to assess my health and were very friendly in the process! Major shoutout to Dr. H, Dr. E and Rosie. I felt like they truly got to know me and my dental history as well as being very knowledgable. The office was super cozy (and had awesome seasonal decor:). Definitely found a gem with this practice and it is well worth the easy drive from downtown Tampa!

Dr. Elikofer was outstanding when I had to have my wisdom tooth taken out. He was knowledgeable, comforting, and very fast with the whole appointment. His staff is just as amazing at getting you in and out quickly. I drive a decent distance just to get to this office and recommended them to all my family and friends. You won't be disappointed! Establish yourself with them as your primary dental office asap.

These types of dentists are rare and a blessing! I found my dental insurance is a joke (thanks company I work for...) and I have to pay upfront. They were very kind and informative and helped me through the entire experience. Even helped me budget future work so I can stop avoiding the dentist! Thank you Rosie especially!

I had a great experience coming back to Advanced Dental Associates. It had been many years since I had my teeth cleaned. The appt I scheduled was timely which I didn't expect. The automated check in made coming back to ADA easy. All of my info was in their system, so all I had to do was update a few things. The receptionist (Eva) was friendly and welcoming. Long time employee Stephanie who performed my cleaning was great and has me back on routine check ups. Issues with my teeth were fixed by Dr. Sheffield and she did an outstanding job in giving me my smile back. I look forward to future visits and other issues being completed. Thank you to the entire team for making my visits great.

Excellent doctors. I have pretty bad anxiety when it comes to dentist and they made sure I was feeling okay and completely understand the process and made the experience much better than I've had in the past at other offices. So just saying thank you for taking such great care of me!!
