Dr. Davis and Julia have 3 grown children: Kathleen (married to Wade Weldon), Alex, and Piper. Dr. Davis enjoys golf, playing piano, reading history, and a bit of painting. Together, he and Julia like to travel, go hiking, and be outdoors. Their church and various civic activities are important to them, as well.
Dr. Davis is a leader in Georgia dentistry, both in terms of education and service. He has been invited to lecture to numerous dental societies and been a speaker at several dental conventions. He is a visiting faculty member at the Pankey Institute for Advanced Dental Education (www.pankey.org). To maintain his commitment to stay abreast of the latest advances in dentistry, he is an active member of the Atlanta Dental Study Group, Hinman Dental Society, and the Georgia Academy of Dental Practice.

He has been state coordinator for Children’s Dental Health Month, facilities chairman of Georgia Mission of Mercy, and served three terms in the Georgia Dental Association House of Delegates.

He has done dental mission trips to the Dominican Republic and Kenya.

Dr. Davis has built a successful practice based on relationships and excellence. Taking time for us to get to know each other is an important aspect of that. Caring for each patient creates his passion for dentistry to the point where he wants every procedure to be “the best one he’s ever done.” He has always said, “I want to treat every mouth as if it were my own.”
It is equally important to Dr. Davis that each patient understand their dental conditions well enough to make their own decisions about what treatment is most appropriate for them. If the patient is to enjoy long term satisfaction with the work, then it is important to not only do the dentistry right, but to also do the right dentistry.
