Dentist Near Reynoldstown
Convenient Access from Reynoldstown
Memorial Drive does most of the driving for Reynoldstown residents headed our way, and the whole trip takes about 14 minutes. Elk Dental Decatur practices from a Church Street office in Decatur, a practice built around honest advice and an EarthCraft-certified building. Runners, cyclists and new arrivals in the converted lofts who need a dentist near Reynoldstown can count on Dr. Taz Elkasrawy for checkups, chipped-tooth repairs and urgent visits.
Start at Lang-Carson Park on Flat Shoals Ave SE, make the short jog over to Memorial Dr, and head east for several miles until you reach Candler Rd. Turn left and drive north; Candler changes its name to S Candler St as it enters downtown Decatur, where E Trinity Pl leads to Church St. Our door is at 1423 Church St, Decatur, GA 30030, roughly 7.0 miles from the park, and the parking out front is free. Bookmark our Google Maps profile, and see our Inman Park and East Atlanta pages for friends just north of the tracks or south of I-20.
Trail Miles and Dental Care for Reynoldstown
Listed on the National Register as a historic district, Reynoldstown belongs to the City of Atlanta and sits in Fulton County. Pearl Street, Moreland Avenue, I-20 and the rail line around Hulsey Yard frame it, with Cabbagetown to the west and Grant Park to the southwest. The Atlanta BeltLine runs straight through the middle as a paved path for walking, running and biking.
Memorial Drive is changing fast. Former light-industrial buildings along it are turning into homes, shops and entertainment spaces, and the street art on the Wylie Street wall draws visitors from all over town. Lang-Carson Park and the Atlanta Habitat for Humanity headquarters are fixtures, and the yearly Wheelbarrow Festival celebrates the neighborhood's roots and its artists.
That mix brings us two kinds of patients from Reynoldstown. Some are longtime residents who want steady, unhurried care close to home. Others are newer neighbors working remotely or freelancing, who may have moved without ever setting up a dentist, or without dental benefits at all.
Either group can get to us without much planning. Driving is simplest, but trains also leave Inman Park/Reynoldstown station eastbound on the Blue Line, and MARTA buses from Avondale station stop a few steps from our door. Tuesday appointments run until 7 PM, which suits anyone who would rather ride or run in daylight and see the dentist afterward. A free EV charger and a secure bike rack wait out front for anyone who skips gasoline entirely.
When the BeltLine Meets Your Front Teeth
Life on a busy trail comes with spills. A clipped pedal, a scooter that stops before you do, or a dog that lunges at the wrong moment can crack or chip a front tooth in an instant. Our office keeps same-day appointments for urgent needs, so a broken tooth, swelling or a toothache does not sit in a queue.
Small chips are often rebuilt with cosmetic bonding, a resin that is matched to your shade and sculpted in place. Larger breaks, or a front tooth that was already worn, may do better with a veneer. Our page on minimal-prep veneers explains how a thin porcelain shell can restore shape while removing as little natural tooth as possible.
Before any repair, Dr. Elkasrawy takes digital x-rays to look for damage below the surface, because a tooth that looks fine can still have a cracked root. Those images appear chairside, and you look at the crack or chip together with him. Then he lays out your choices in plain terms, with costs, before anything begins.
Endurance athletes have one more thing to watch: sports drinks and energy gels. Sipping sugar and acid for an hour bathes teeth the whole time, which softens enamel. Rinsing with water after a long run, and keeping up with cleanings, does more to protect your teeth than most people expect.

What Our Patients Are Saying
Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Elk Dental Decatur from Reynoldstown, and how do I get there?
Lang-Carson Park is about 7.0 miles from our office, around 14 minutes by car in light traffic. Memorial Dr carries you east to Candler Rd, which turns into S Candler St, then E Trinity Pl leads to Church St. Most of the drive to a dentist near Reynoldstown is that single stretch of Memorial, which is slowest during rush hour.
How is a chipped front tooth usually repaired?
Most small chips are fixed with tooth-colored bonding, sculpted directly onto the tooth and polished to blend in. When more of the tooth has broken away, a veneer or crown gives a sturdier result. Dr. Elkasrawy checks the x-ray first, since a hidden crack can change which repair will hold up best.
Can I charge an electric car or lock up a bike at the office?
Yes, our parking area has a Level 2 J1772 charger for electric vehicles and a secure bicycle rack. Parking right at the front door is free. Riders without a car can also take the Blue Line from Inman Park/Reynoldstown station to Avondale station, where MARTA buses stop beside our office.
Is the $129 cleaning offer available if I have insurance?
No. The $129 Cleaning, Comprehensive Exam & X-Ray is reserved for new patients who have no insurance and no periodontal disease. Insured new patients can book the $99 Comprehensive Exam & X-Ray instead, also for new patients only. Offers cannot be combined, and PPO claims are filed electronically on the day of your visit.
What makes Elk Dental an eco-friendly office?
The building is EarthCraft certified, and the practice is working toward a net-zero carbon emission office by 2028 to 2030.
