Dr. Nicole Elger, DMD

Dentist

Dr. Nicole Elger is passionate about making a meaningful impact in her patients’ lives through compassionate, comprehensive dental care. A graduate of Southern Illinois University School of Dental Medicine, she earned her Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree, followed by an Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD) and an Implant Fellowship, all from SIU-SDM. She is currently working toward completing the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine's mastery program to better serve patients diagnosed with sleep apnea.

Dr. Elger’s favorite aspect of dentistry is the opportunity to share her knowledge with patients and guide them toward the oral health they desire. She thrives in a collaborative environment, continually learning from her team and drawing inspiration from their experiences and goals.

Motivated by a desire to rewrite the narrative for those who’ve had negative dental experiences, Dr. Elger is committed to creating beautiful, lasting smiles while helping patients feel at ease and confident in their dental care. She believes that a smile is one of life’s most powerful tools and works to ensure that each patient feels valued and cared for after their time with her.

Outside of the office, Dr. Elger enjoys spending time with her husband and three children, as well as traveling, reading, playing the piano, singing, and attending continuing education conferences. A fun fact many don’t know: she began college on a theater scholarship, reflecting her creative spirit and love for performance.
