Skilled Dental Clinicians in the Milwaukee Metro Area

Dr. Eric Taibl is passionate about delivering exceptional dental care close to his roots. A Wisconsin native who grew up in the Elm Grove community, he is thrilled to serve patients near his hometown at Elmbrook Family Dental. Initially planning to pursue medical school, he discovered his true calling during college when his dentist suggested he shadow him for a few days. He fell in love with dentistry embracing the problem-solving, hands-on work, and the opportunity to help others while building meaningful relationships with patients, the team, and the local community.


Two decades later, he remains confident it was the right decision. With a caring, empathetic approach, he prioritizes open communication, taking the time to educate patients, explain all treatment options, and empower them to make informed decisions for their oral health in a supportive, trusting environment.

He completed his undergraduate degree at the University of Michigan before earning his Doctor of Dental Surgery from the University of Iowa College of Dentistry. Since graduation, he has pursued extensive continuing education in implant dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, restorative dentistry, and orthodontics. He’s also completed the prestigious Spear Education curriculum specializing in esthetic treatment and full mouth rehabilitation, advanced Invisalign education with the American Academy of Clear Aligners including an exclusive mentorship program that only accepts a handful of dentists making him a top provider, and numerous hands-on workshops with Clinical Mastery Series. To continue perfecting his skills, he was invited to join the Seattle Study Club’s Milwaukee chapter.
