Growing up in the cozy, oceanside state of Rhode Island, Dr. Elias was inspired by his family members who made a positive difference in their local communities as healthcare practitioners. His compassion for helping underserved children, active involvement in community outreach events, and experience in both medical and dental settings fueled his desire to pursue a lifelong career in pediatric dentistry. Today, Dr. Elias is a husband, father, and board-certified pediatric dentist who places family and integrity at the forefront of his practice. That's why he will only recommend the same care he would give his own family. Kind, lighthearted, and empathetic, Dr. Elias loves being silly with his patients and providing sincere, skillful care for Saginaw families.
Dr. Elias achieved his Bachelor of Science degree in biology at Providence College. He then earned his Doctor of Dental Medicine degree at Nova Southeastern University. Immediately after dental school, he was accepted into one the nations leading pediatric dental programs, Temple University Hospital, where he completed his pediatric residency. This is also where he met his lifelong partner, Dr. Christina. Dedicated to delivering the highest standard of pediatric dental care, Dr. Elias spent an additional two years of training after pediatric residency to become a board-certified pediatric dentist and diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry. After becoming board-certified, Dr. Elias has been recognized for numerous awards both locally and nationally for his achievements in pediatric dentistry, including being selected as a DFW Child Mom Approved Dentist, as a Texas Super Dentist, and as America's Best Dentist.
To Dr. Elias, theres nothing better in life than family and good food. When hes not treating little ones at work, you can catch him alongside his wife and best friend, Dr. Christina, and their two sweet children; one-year old, Julian, and two-month old, Christian. He loves taking his little family to the park, watching movies, and exploring all kinds of foods and flavors especially Texas barbecue. Hes also a #ProudDogDad to two twin Morkies, Tumi and Olli!

I love this office! Everyone is so friendly, kind, and knowledgeable. My son has always been afraid of the dentist until we found this office. He underwent quite a bit of dental work this morning and not one tear thanks to the team and especially Dr. Christina!

I just had an appointment here with my 3 children all at the same time, yes at the same time with ages 8, 5 and 1! The visit was very pleasant! Office was very clean and professional. Dr. Elias was very nice and good with the children. The dental assistants were also very nice and genuine. My 5 year old is very scared of dentist and she can't wait to go back lol the environment of the dentist is great for kids! Our appointment was at 8:00a and our wait time was less than 10mins. We went in for just a cleaning for all 3. We plan on going back. Great job Saginaw kids Dentistry team!

I highly recommend Saginaw Kids Dentistry for your littles! I was nervous about taking my son to the dentist for the first time but both times we have gone, it was a breeze!! The staff are very patient and friendly, the office is clean and there is a play room in the waiting area. If you're looking for the perfect pediatric dentist office, this is the one.

Great place! The whole staff was amazing. Everyone that interacted with my child took the time to explain what was about to be done in a way that he could understand. My son saw Dr. Elias, and he was great also. He answered questions and most importantly, he was honest! A place in Azle told me my son had eight cavities, and they wanted to do all kinds of things. It turns out that my son has zero cavities and nothing was needed. I'm so glad we came here, and I'd highly recommend them to anyone with kiddos because of this honesty and the kindness and patience shown by staff. Once inside the exam area, there are TVs on the ceiling, which is cool for kids also. There's fixtures built into the wall with bubbles and colored lights too. It's a fun environment for kids and it takes away all the scary and uncertainty a child may be feeling.

The whole staff is super nice! The entire building is very clean and brightly colored. A cute seating area just for kids and toys, color changing lights every where, and loads of fun things to look at. TVs to look at while getting teeth cleanings and state of the art equipment for faster teeth X-rays. I loved it!

We're new to the area and heard this place was good. Good? C'monnnn! This place is fantastic! Dr. Christina is the kindest Doctor we've ever had with any of our kids. She's gentle and very sweet and helped walk us through each step as she was working on the kids. Bedside manor with kids at this place is a A+ and then some. The techs are awesome and they even have TVs on the ceilings for the kids to watch while getting work done. My daughters both asked when they could back C'monnn. This is the place if you have kids of any age.
