Meet Your Dentist

I'm Dr. Sharifa Walker —
and I am here for you.

Originally from Huntsville, Alabama, I have called Georgia home for over 15 years. A proud Meharry Medical College graduate, I returned to private practice with one mission: to give Decatur the dental experience it truly deserves — personal, compassionate, and exceptional.

Gone are the days of cold, corporate dental chains. At Better Health Dental, you will always see a familiar face, hear your name called warmly, and leave knowing your care is in expert hands.

Quick Answers

What patients ask before they call.

Is Better Health Dental accepting new patients?

Yes. The practice accepts new patients of all ages from Decatur, Avondale Estates, Druid Hills, Kirkwood, East Lake, Scottdale, Clarkston, Tucker, and the surrounding DeKalb County area. Call (404) 446-2776 or use the appointment request form, and your dental benefits are verified before your first visit.

Where is the office, and is parking easy?

127 E. Trinity Pl in downtown Decatur, one block from Decatur Square and a short walk from the Decatur MARTA station. Two paid parking decks sit on the same block, and metered street spaces have a two-hour limit — enough for a cleaning and exam. Directions and parking details are here.

Can I be seen the same day for a dental emergency?

Usually, yes. Same-day emergency appointments are held every day for acute pain, broken teeth, swelling, and knocked-out teeth, and they are allocated in the order requested — so call (404) 446-2776 as early in the morning as you can. What to do while you wait is on the emergency care page.

What insurance do you take?

Better Health Dental files with most major dental benefit plans and verifies your specific coverage before treatment, so you know your share in advance. For balances beyond a plan’s limits, Sunbit and CareCredit financing is available — see financing options.

Do you treat children?

Yes. Dr. Walker sees children from the first tooth onward and schedules household members back to back so one trip covers the whole family. First visits for young children are gentle and unhurried — details on the family dentistry page.

What is EMFACE, and why does a dental office offer it?

EMFACE is a non-invasive facial treatment that uses radiofrequency and muscle stimulation to tone facial muscles and skin — no needles, no downtime. Dentists work with the muscles of the face and jaw every day, and the treatment has an FDA-cleared TMJ benefit. Learn more on the EMFACE page.
