Dr. Elbert, The Official Team Dentist for LA RAMS Super Bowl Champions

Dr. Elbert joined the team as the official LA Rams team dentist in 2016. He will never forget the day he unexpectedly received a phone call from the head trainer who asked him, "Do you want to be our team dentist?” "Yes, of course! It'd be like a dream come true", he answered.

Since then, he has provided the best dental treatment to everyone within the Los Angeles Rams organization, from the football players to the support staff and their families.

Working as an NFL Official Team Dentist

Being the LA Rams Team Dentist isn’t all fun and games. Regular office hours do not apply. An NFL team dentist must attend every single home game to ensure quick medical treatment is applied in case of any dental injury, as well as caring for the visiting team's if they are injured.

Besides being present at matches, Dr. Elbert ensures that players and staff get regular dental check-ups to ensure overall health.

Oral health is the window to overall health.

Even with the hectic timetable of his private practice, he never complains and gives full attention to the players. If you look at his Instagram page, you will see how wholeheartedly he participated in the Super Bowl and Ring ceremony to support his team.

The bond that he has created with the team, staff and their families is ineffable, and that’s what makes him a great professional sports team dentist.
