Glow Dentistry: Lora P. Gaxiola DMD - General dentist in Birmingham, AL

At Glow Dentistry, it is our primary goal to maintain oral health in all of our patients. We also strive to make the experience as comfortable as possible. Our hygienists are equipped with all of the latest technology including ultrasonic scalers, which allow them to clean teeth more efficiently and comfortably and digital x-rays, which provide an instant and accurate look at your teeth with less radiation exposure. Also, we understand that going to the dentist can create anxiety, so we offer anxiety reducing techniques, such as headphones, blankets, and even Nitrous Oxide for those patients who need help relaxing in the dental chair.

We gladly accommodate the entire family. We happily provide pediatric dental services, such as cleanings, x-rays, fillings, and extractions. We are also available for dental emergencies. If for some reason, we are unable to resolve the issue, we will make every effort to direct patients to the appropriate specialist in a timely manner.

We continually strive to stay current on all available technologies and procedures. Dr. Gaxiola is thoroughly trained in restoring implants as well as cosmetic procedures, such as veneers and porcelain crowns and bridges.

Dr. Gaxiola has wanted to be a dentist since she was in middle school! She grew up in Sylacauga, Alabama and graduated from Sylacauga High School. From there, she attended Birmingham-Southern College where she graduated Cum Laude with a degree in Biology/Psychology. Then, she attended University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Dentistry, and immediately upon graduating, began her practice at Glow, where she has been practicing dentistry since 2008.

One of Dr. Gs favorite things about being a dentist is meeting new people and helping them realize that going to the dentist can be fun! She also enjoys and appreciates the many relationships shes made with her patients and their families over the years.

Dr. G is married with a 11 year old son and a 8 year old daughter who keep her and her husband Nick very busy! When she is not working, she enjoys spending time with her family, reading, listening to podcasts, and working out, especially going to Zumba classes!

Dr. Gaxiola is so kind and always gentle. I've had bad experience with dentists in the past not taking me seriously, and not making sure I was numb before they started working on me. Dr. Gaxiola knows of this fear that I have, and is always so gentle. I got a filling done this morning for the first time in two years, and for the first time ever I didn't even feel the needle go in to numb me. The staff are so sweet and welcoming. I will recommend them to anyone

This is written on behalf of my husband, Tom: This was my first time at your family dentistry and I was very impressed! Not only with your staff from the moment I walked through your doors but also with Dr Gaxiola. I'm so happy my wife have found you all. I was not only treated with respect but also with lots of empathy and understanding. You all made me feel welcome. Thank you all so much, I look forward to seeing you all again.

I am very pleased with my experience at Narrows Family Dentistry as a first time patient. The ladies at the front desk were extremely friendly and I had a very nice, informative conversation with Dr. Gaxiola. Shelby, my hygienist, was kind and gentle during my cleaning. She was willing to work with me to ensure I had a pain free experience. She also provided education on how to best treat my teeth. My teeth feel great and they appear much more white. I'm actually looking forward to my next appointment!

Everyone here is great! From the moment you walk in you are greeted by Susie and Jennifer, the friendly front office staff. We love Lisa the dental hygienist. Dr. Gaxiola is so gentle and does everything she can to make you feel comfortable. I was so anxious about getting a filling. Dr. Gaxiola and her dental assistant, Shelley took their time and made sure I was comfortable the whole time. My family and I are so thankful for all of you!

Dr. Gax is one the most personable, knowledgeable, and skillful dentists I've ever had. Her staff is extremely friendly and my fillings were painless. Her assistant (Chandler?) was a delight as well. Big recommend this office to anyone with teeth!
