Having completed advanced implant training through the International Congress of Oral Implantology, Dr. Tolbert has been recognized as a Fellow of the ICOI.
Originally hailing from Macon, Georgia, Dr. Tolbert graduated from the Dental College of Georgia, where he spent most of his time researching dental implants and dentures. He spent every vacation and school break attending advanced education courses and working alongside implant dentists to help him hit the ground running.
Dr. Tolbert spent several years working as a Clinical Director in a multi-regional full arch group, educating over 40 doctors in implantology as well as traveling the country to provide clinical support. Today, he has settled down in Washington with his wife and is the proud owner of Smile Now Tacoma.
When he’s not honing his skills and providing care for his patients, Dr. Tolbert enjoys the great outdoors, playing guitar, and “anything with an engine”.
Dr. Tolbert decided early on in his career that his passion was for restoring peoples’ smiles. “I do this because the average patient that walks through our doors is asking to have their life changed. It is challenging work, but it is by far the most rewarding.”
“It is such an awesome privilege to have received the education and training to help someone smile and chew again. Dentistry is always a team effort. For me, it all starts with treating my patients with respect, compassion, and humility.” – Dr. Jinesh V. Shah, DDS
