We welcome patients in every age range. Children should begin seeing a dentist regularly when they are about two years old. By learning good oral habits and helping to teach them to your child, you can help prevent tooth decay and give them a head start on a lifetime of good dental health. You can help by making sure your child's teeth are brushed and flossed regularly, using flouride toothpaste once they are old enough to refrain from swallowing it. Curtailing snacks, especially sweet or starchy foods, will help prevent tooth decay. Babies should not sleep with a bottle, as milk, formula, or juice has a tendency to pool in their mouths and cause decay. For more information on how we can help you take care of your child's teeth, call 256-734-6444.

I notice that you do implant restorations. Do you place them, as well and, if not, can you refer me to someone who can?

We restore all kinds of implants. We also work with several experts who place a variety of implant types to suit your specific needs. Since implants are designed to replace your own teeth, it is important that they look and feel like part of your mouth. We offer many different kinds of materials and styles to ensure you will find the kind of implant that best fits your needs and your budget. Your new implant should fit seamlessly in with the rest of your smile, and feel as natural as if it had grown there. At your oral evaluation, we will take a close look at your dental history to determine if implants are right for you. Patients with good general oral health and adequate bone support are the best candidates for this treatment. We will work with you each step of the way to give you the best possible treatment and address your personal needs and concerns. For more questions or to make an appointment, call 256-734-6444 today.

I would like to whiten my teeth but had horrible sensitivity when I used a store-bought whitening product. Can I still whiten them without this pain?

Having a beautiful smile shouldn't be painful. For patients who want whitening treatments but who have found home treatments difficult on their sensitive mouths, we offer Ultradent bleaching systems. Designed specifically for sensitive teeth, these products contain desensitizing materials which help eliminate the discomfort that over-the-counter bleaching products can cause. The flouride gel provides long-lasting results and won't force you to sit in agony while they work. When you come in for your oral evaluation, we will talk with you about any concerns you may have about your treatments. We understand that many people have anxiety about pain and discomfort during dental procedures. We want you to know that we will do everything in our power to make sure you remain comfortable and relaxed throughout your time in our office. For more questions or to schedule an appointment, call 256-734-6444.

If I have old black or silver fillings from a previous dentist, can you help?

We would be happy to help! Often, your old metallic fillings can be replaced with white composite restorations. These fillings can be closely matched to the color of your natural teeth, providing a seamless appearance. Composites also bond directly with the tooth structure, increasing support. When you come in to our office, we will take a close look at your current fillings and consult with you on the method of replacement. We know that getting a tooth filled can be stressful for many people. We offer a variety of pain treatments to help make the process as comfortable as possible.

Is it necessary to visit you every 6 months if my teeth are consistently in good shape?

Even if you don't have any major oral health problems, it's important to visit your dentist regularly. We can check your teeth and identify any potential trouble spots before they become serious, helping you to avoid a lot of stress and pain down the line. We can also discuss your dental health with you and help you develop good habits that will keep your teeth strong and healthy for years to come. For these reasons, we recommend regular visits every six months. Call us at 256-734-6444 to schedule an appointment. Whether you're already in the habit of getting regular checkups or you need to get into it, we'll be happy to help keep your smile healthy and beautiful.
