Gentle Art of Dentistry: Carol A. Cunningham, DDS Daniel P. Jurgens, DMD

Gentle Art of Dentistry fits quietly in Decatur’s side-streets, where storefronts give way to brick homes and modest offices. Established local practitioners Carol A. Cunningham and Daniel P. Jurgens run the day-to-day, handling everything from routine exams to whitening and crowns. In practice, they lean on digital X-rays and single-visit restorations when possible.

The two-chair office sits at 2 N Country Club Rd #2, mid-block between jogging paths and the county club entrance—easy to find if you know the landmarks. Dental hygiene keeps most appointments moving, while periodontal therapy and emergency treatments fill the gaps between cleanings. They take down the phone on the first ring but leave the bell behind the door unanswered for privacy.

If the north-end traffic surprises you, there’s a map to set straight: directions center on the building’s side door so you arrive without circling twice.
