Dr. Gillian Jones

Most people think of dentists when they need a filling, but oral surgeons handle the rest—impacted teeth, jaw alignment, biopsies. Dr. Gillian Jones works from an office on the third floor of 200 E Ponce de Leon Ave in Decatur, a stretch of storefronts and shaded sidewalks that feels more like a neighborhood than a medical corridor. The building itself is unassuming, tucked between a coffee shop and a law firm, yet the specialty here is anything but routine.

Procedures like wisdom-tooth extractions, corrective jaw surgery, and dental implants fall under the same roof. Bone grafts and TMJ treatments are also on the list, though you won’t see them advertised in neon. The practice sits at the corner of Ponce de Leon and Commerce, a block where the sidewalks widen and the afternoon light lingers a little longer. If you’re scheduling anything beyond a cleaning, you’ll want to call (404) 363-1700 before the referral paperwork piles up.

Decatur’s east side has a way of blending quiet streets with steady foot traffic. The map still shows the old brick facades and the occasional mural, a reminder that even surgical offices operate within walking distance of lunch spots and bookstores. Directions are here, though most patients arrive with a referral in hand and a question about recovery time.
