Dennis J. Collins, D.D.S.

Born and raised in DeKalb, Dr. Collins is dedicated to the community, serving on a number of local boards and commissions. On weekend, you might run into him on a local golf course, running, or riding his bike on the area bike paths.
Dr. Collins cares deeply about bringing best-in-class dental services to his community. When Collins Dental opened its current facility in 2008, his goal was to create a building as high-quality as the work performed there.
Dr. Collins’ patient-centered philosophy puts a high value on empowering patients to make their own decisions.
“I believe in giving our patients choices,” he says. “Let them know what options are available and inform them so they can make decisions about their own healthcare.”
Dentistry is a rapidly evolving field, and Dr. Collins sets an example for all the dentists in the practice, all of whom are committed to staying current on the latest trends in treatment.
