Creating a ‘friendly, relaxing’ atmosphere for patients

Highlands Dental Arts

Family dentists play an important role in people’s lives, according to Dr. Franklin “Frankie” Jones, who opened his new practice, Highland Dental Arts, in Vestavia Hills in January.

“We want to care for the entire family regardless of age,” says Dr. Frankie, as he is usually called.

“We want to form meaningful, trusting relationships with our patients that will keep them coming back to see us for their dental needs for life.”

Being a dentist is also very rewarding.

“Not only do we help relieve immediate pain and maintain oral health, but we give people a new smile and confidence,” Dr. Frankie says. “It’s gratifying to know we can help improve someone’s quality of life.”

A native of Starkville, Mississippi, Dr. Frankie completed his Doctorate of Dental Medicine at The University of Mississippi Medical Center in 2020.

He moved to Birmingham with his wife, Elizabeth, and says he’s “honored” to open his practice in Vestavia Hills.

He wants his patients to know he listens and puts their goals first.

“We want to create an atmosphere where patients feel that any issues they have are heard, and that we’ve taken the time to fully explain all of their treatment options,” he says.

“Going to the dentist can be scary for many people, but we try to maintain a friendly, relaxing environment,” he says.
