For me, orthodontics changes more than the appearance of a smile, it enhances self-esteem; it gives one self-confidence, and it makes one look and feel better. I enjoy being able to get to know my patients. It is very fulfilling to see the children grow into young adults. It is the best job in the world! Dr. Priscila Denny
Oak Mountain Orthodontics commitment to bringing you the very best in orthodontic treatment is reflected in the dedication and education of Dr. Priscila Denny. She prides herself in not only providing clinical excellence in orthodontic treatment but also in creating lasting relationships with her patients.
Dr. Priscila Denny received her Bachelors Degree in Science from the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). After that, she completed her Doctorate of Dental Medicine (D.M.D) degree in 2001 from UAB School of Dentistry, where she graduated with honors. Her graduation honors include the American Academy of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, the American Association for Dental Research, and the award for academic achievement.
Following one year of general practice residency at UAB Hospital, Dr. Denny completed a three-year orthodontic residency program at UAB in June 2005, receiving her Master's in Orthodontics. The orthodontic program at UAB is recognized as being one of the very top residencies in the world. Admission is highly competitive accepting only four residents each year amongst approximately 300 applications. The orthodontists trained at UAB are taught to treat the most complicated of orthodontic malocclusions, including patients who need orthognathic jaw surgery in conjunction with orthodontics.
Her professional affiliations include the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO), the American Dental Association (ADA), the Alabama Dental Association (ALDA), the American Association of Women Dentists (AAWD), and the Birmingham District Dental Society.
Dr. Priscila Denny was born in Brazil and moved to Alabama in 1994, where she has made it her home with her husband Gregory Denny, a Hoover attorney. Dr. Denny comes from a family of dentists and orthodontists, including aunts, uncles, cousins, her sister, and her mother.

Dr. Denny utilizes materials that are on the cutting edge of orthodontic treatment for her patients including titanium wires, clear braces, and a sterilization process that is hospital equivalent. These techniques make it possible for our patients to experience a shorter treatment time and the convenience of less time missed from work or school as patients are seen on the average of six to eight week intervals rather than once a month.
