We were in the area in our RV and I saw Dr Dunavant for a new set of dentures. He is so thorough, precise and just awesome! He explained everything on the first visit with detail and explained why he does 5 visits for a set of dentures. The prices was very reasonable @ $4000 for a beautiful set of REAL looking dentures. The fit is unbelievable and so pretty. I highly recommend - 10 stars

Had just arrived for a 2 month stay (snowbird) and needed a tooth extraction. Called and Jillian was so helpful and got me in the next day. Extraction was more complex than initially thought but Dr Dunavant was awesome and was able to remove the tooth and cyst he found. Stayed late on a Friday to help out a patient who desperately needed his help. Highly recommend!!

Dr. Dunavant and his dental assistant Jillian were awesome! They got my mom in for emergency dental care while on vacation and were able to get her in the next morning when all other offices were closed. They were both very informative, personable, and had a great sense of humor for my mom who was very nervous.

We were recently in Orange Beach on vacation when my daughter had a dental emergency. I called Comprehensive Dentistry on a Friday morning hoping they could help us. Dr. Dunavant answered the phone himself and informed me that the office was closed, but since he was there doing paperwork, he would be happy to help us. He fixed her up, and we were out of there within the hour and back to our vacation. I could not be more please. Thank you again!

Dr Dunavant bailed me out on my vacation. Emergency visit on a Friday and he did it all. Clear explanation of what to expect and clear instructions on post visit care. Overall a blessing to find him at a time when I expected most offices to be closed or turn me away. Thank you Dr Dunavant I appreciate you very much.

While visiting from out of town, I had a semi-emergency with a wisdom tooth. Despite only being in his office on a Friday to do a 2 minute check-up for a post-op patient of his, Dr. Dunavant still took over an hour with me to fix everything up without his assistant. Definitely an amazing dentist that I would trust absolutely if I ever lived here permanently.
