How do I request an appointment?

Call (205) 254-8555. Office hours are Monday–Thursday, 9:30 a.m.–1:00 p.m. The office can confirm appointment availability, accepted insurance and payment options.

What happens during a consultation?

Your dentist reviews your concerns, examines your teeth and gums, recommends images if appropriate, and explains treatment choices and costs.

Is a deep cleaning the same as a routine cleaning?

No. Scaling and root planing is a treatment for certain gum conditions. An examination determines the appropriate care.

Can a denture be repaired?

Sometimes. The type and extent of damage determine whether repair, reline, adjustment or replacement is appropriate.

How do veterans arrange VA-funded care?

Contact your VA dental or health-care team first to discuss eligibility, referral and authorization for the specific services.

Can I participate in the radio program?

Call the office to suggest a topic or ask about guest participation. The show team coordinates participation; an appearance is not guaranteed.
