Root Canal Therapy
If a tooth's nerve becomes diseased or damaged usually the tooth will require a root canal in order to save it. We clean the tooth and place a filling material inside the tooth during root canal therapy.
Microabrasion
There are many reasons why teeth have color imperfections in the outer layer of the tooth structure. Some may have had trauma to teeth, recently had braces removed, exposure to certain medications, etc., however there is a simple fix! Dr. Josh and Victoria are trained in ICON resin infiltration and enamel microabrasion. Both of these processes are easy, require no shots numbing, or drilling and can make teeth markedly whiter in a few minutes!
Periodontal Care
Periodontal health is critical! "Periodontium" is a big word meaning the foundation or support structure of the teeth. Dr. Victoria and Josh are passionate helping each patient maintain a healthy foundation.

Thank you, Dr. Jamie Johnson
It is with mixed emotions that I have decided, after 26 years of serving the dental needs of my valued patients in Tuscaloosa and the surrounding areas, to change the direction of my dental career.
I have been honored by so many of you allowing me to care for the dental needs of you and your families, and the relationships I have with you and my staff have made this decision exceedingly difficult.
I have decided to finish my last years of my dental career serving the under served at Bryce Hospital.
I could not make a career move like this without ensuring that my existing patients will continue to enjoy the care and atmosphere that I and my staff have worked hard to maintain over the years. Many opportunities have been presented to me this past year, professionally and personally, and I have found what I feel is the ideal scenario for both my patient family and my staff.
I am transitioning my practice to a husband and wife dental team. Drs. Victoria and Josh McClanahan will take over my practice immediately, and I will continue to be available for them if they need to call upon me.
Drs. McClanahan have both practiced dentistry in Northwest Alabama for the past several years. They are relocating to the Helena area and the timing is perfect for us to arrange this transition.
As I and my advisors looked at a list of options, my goal was to offer expanded appointment opportunities, as well as additional procedural options to provide more comprehensive dental care for each of you. Drs. Victoria and Josh meet these goals 100%. I am especially excited that they now accept appointments for children and young adults, and will add in-office treatment options such as root canal treatment when needed. Please stop by anytime and let our staff introduce you to Drs. McClanahan and you will immediately know why I have chosen them to carry on the standard of care I have tried to establish over my years as
your dentist.
I can’t begin to thank each of you enough for the many ways you have touched my life. I’m eternally
grateful for each of you, and for the incredible ladies I was blessed to work with every day.
-Jamie Johnson, D.M.D.
What our patients are saying:
Overtime, my teeth were becoming increasingly sensitive. It was getting to the point that I was having to abstain from many foods, including ketchup and orange juice. I was brushing my teeth in warm water with sensitive toothpaste and going dentist appointments regularly, but the issue remained.
Once I saw Dr. Victoria, the sensitivity improved that day! She diagnosed the issue and was able to stop the progression of sensitivity. As it turns out, I was brushing my teeth too hard and my gums were receding from my teeth, exposing the roots. She sealed the issue, thus preventing me from needing expensive gum surgery and stopped the sensitivity! She also recommended a special toothbrush to prevent me from continuing to brush too hard. She has dramatically changed my life! I no longer dread eating and brushing. I have been her patient for over 5 years and I’m immensely thankful for her.
Dr. Josh is very professional. He explains procedures well and put me at ease. I didn't even realize he had given me the injection. I am thankful to have found such a caring dentist. My husband and family will be patients for a life time!
