Dr. Alexay Tamas, DMD

About Dr. Tamas

Dr. Alexay Tamas grew up in a small rural town in Illinois, where a strong sense of family and community shaped her early life and her desire to eventually serve communities that reminded her of home.

Her path to dentistry began at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology and worked as a dental assistant for a local group of dentists. With their encouragement and mentorship, she discovered a passion for dentistry and decided to pursue the profession herself.

Dr. Tamas went on to complete her pre-dental studies and earn a second bachelor’s degree in biology from Utah Valley University. She then attended Roseman University of Health Sciences in South Jordan, Utah, earning her Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree in 2016.

After dental school, Dr. Tamas spent nearly a decade leading a dental office in Oregon. Becoming a mother to her daughter made being closer to family and her Midwestern roots increasingly important, and she is now proud to call Michigan home.

Outside of dentistry, Dr. Tamas enjoys spending time with her husband and daughter. Family is an important part of her life, and she is excited to put down roots here in West Michigan.

At Advance Dental, Dr. Tamas brings a gentle, compassionate approach to care and looks forward to building lasting relationships with patients and families throughout the Grand Rapids community. She believes patients should feel comfortable, listened to, and genuinely cared for throughout their dental experience.

We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Tamas to the Advance Dental family and look forward to introducing you to her at your next visit.
