Our staff recognizes oral health care should be based on the individual; everyone should have a personalized treatment plan created just for them. Our teams believe lasting healthy outcomes and positive experiences are the foundation of quality care and service. We aim to create a partnership between the patient and practice team, and it is through this unique partnership that we can provide personalized quality care that fits one's personal lifestyle and overall health goals. We call this approach to care, Preventistry.
We are improving the oral health of all by expanding access, affordability and having a greater focus on preventing dental disease rather than just treating it. Oral health is the health of your mouth and everything in it, including teeth, gums, throat and the bones around the mouth. It is an important part of overall full-body health and can often overlooked.
Poor oral health can lead to complications such as gum disease, tooth decay, diabetes, clogged arteries and even difficulties with pregnancy. With proper guidance and support, our providers and patients partner together to design a personal oral health strategy to transform and improve overall health and most importantly to prevent future dental complications.
To meet the growing need for accessible eye care and the convenience of having both vision and dental in the same office, Advantage Dental+ practices are continuing to expand; we offer childrens vision services in eight locations throughout Alabama: Alexander City, Anniston, Athens, Boaz, Clanton, Dothan, Montgomery and Tuscaloosa. Our vision services include complete eye exams, eyeglasses and eye glasses repair for children.
Our vision team strives to create meaningful interactions and keep an ongoing relationship with our patients and their families. We want you to feel comfortable and confident coming to us as an ally with the smallest question or largest concern regarding your childs vision health. With highly qualified staff committed to helping the families of Alabama, Advantage Dental+s vision team is dedicated to making a positive impact in the community.
Advantage Dental+ is dedicated to a mission: To improve the oral health of all. Our network of practices, comprised of nearly 200 providers and 800 support employees, are located throughout four states Alabama, Massachusetts, Oregon and Washington. Strategically located in over 70 communities, our teams provide quality oral health care and education to over a quarter million patients annually. Together, we are creating healthy and confident smiles across the nation.
Answered phones, in-house referrals, community events, billing and insurance assistance, and other creative solutions and technology are just some of the ways we are actively working to provide affordable care and access to dental professionals that is easy for everyone to get to.
Respect, compassion, compromise, and transparency are all elements needed for a successful partnership. We strive to create meaningfulinteractions and keep anongoing relationship with our patients. Anyonecanfeel comfortable and confident coming to usas an allywiththesmallest question or largest concernregarding their oral health.
Quality care is both objective and subjective. It isbothmeasurable healthy outcomes andpositive patient experiences. It is celebrating the small wins, like being cavity-free, or overcoming dental anxiety and making it in for a cleaning. Through quality care, our teams are changing the way people think about and approach oral health for the better.

My daughter has been going here a couple years and the people that work there are pretty great. I think it's important to have courteous and prompt help especially at a dentist's office where it can be a stressful situation. Thank you for all you do.

Dr Bradee and Sitlason are two amazing and kind individuals they made my dental experience the highlight of my day which is crazy because nobody would say getting a tooth pulled would think that's a highlight of the day but it was they were so kind and funny very easy to talk to and they made sure i was Okay every step of the way . They also gave my some Vaseline for my lips i never had that happened before 100/10

(Translated by Google) It is terrible and moreover the receptionist is very arrogant, how is it possible that a 3-year-old child has to enter his appointment as an adult, I called to make an appointment for my 3-year-old child and they told me that the day of the appointment the child must to enter the rooms alone, adults cannot enter. The receptionist told me and if you do not agree you can go to another dentist and avoid problems, they are supposed to be professionals how can you treat your patients like this (Original) Es pesimo y mas la recepcionista es muy prepotente , como es posible que un nino de 3 anos tenga que entrar si adulto a su cita , llame para hacer cita para mi nino de 3 anos y me dijeron que el dia de la cita el nino deve de entrar solo a los cuartos , los adultos no pueden entrar. La recepcionista me dijo y si usted no esta de acuerdo puede ir con otro dentista y evitamos de problemas , se supone que son profecionales como puede tratar a sus pacientes asi

My daughter had the worst experience ever. They pulled her tooth before her pain medications took affect. Then they she was impatient. They told me she couldn't be seen there anymore on account of this. I think it is because we are white.

My 3 year old was so excited to go to the dentist. Then we added her first eye appointment at the last minute and we both became nervous lol. She walked out of the eye appointment and whispered, "I like the eye doctor" AFTER he dilated her eyes. The staff were professional and personable with all who came in the office. This was such an easy visit. Thank you guys!

We absolutely love Sarrell . All 3 of my kids go to the dentist here and they are so great with them. Even my youngest one who's 4 absolutely loves it. They are so calm and patient with them. Everyone is so friendly I haven't met anyone here who wasn't as nice as possible. They are also very informative and explain everything!! Highly recommend if you when small kids.

Dentist is very friendly and so is the staff. Started using them after going to a Madison City pediatric office with not a great experience. Better prices than most pediatric offices. My kids feel like they are cared about, always leave there happy and not afraid. My 8 year old son got a crown for a chipped baby tooth. We were in and out in less than 45min, the very next day from when he chipped it. He didn't even realize he had a shot.

I am new to the area and had no luck finding a pediatric dentist for my youngest that was accepting new patients & accepted my insurance. I was leary because they let me know that, due to covid, I could not go in with myself then 4 year old. I prepared him and he understood why mom couldn't come in with him. I became more leary when we arrived. The office is dilapidated from the outside. I called to let them know I had arrived and a "nurse" comes out and instructs me to move closer to the front of the building although I could see the front door and probably would only save her 6 steps. The "nurse" goes inside and I have to call again and wait for her to come back outside. I'm given paperwork and have to call again. Once they come to get my son, the "nurse" couldn't understand that she'd have to open the door for a 4 year old (normally he'd hop out but he doesn't know this lady or this building). My son was in there 20 minutes and I was given no explanation as to what was done or the condition of his teeth. I tried to get him to tell me but it's hard to get detail from a 4 year old. Weeks later I get an invoice for a routine cleaning (keep in mind my husband, oldest son and I have already gotten routine cleanings completely covered & I've checked my benefits). I have had to call twice and haven't gotten a response yet because billing is handled out of my TN. I believe this office accepts Medicaid and with that you oftentimes get staff that could care less because they assume patients don't have the means to go elsewhere. That's not the case for us so that is my first/last time coming.

We went in to have my eight year old's tooth pulled. And mind you my daughter isn't easy to deal with when it comes to shots, pain, being scared lol nothing. And when I tell you Dr. Bradee was a angel, she was absolutely amazing with my daughter. She was extremely patient, caring, loving, and comforting. We couldn't have asked for a better Dentist. I highly recommend Dr. Bradee, I had to just give her a hug after because of how wonderful she was. It's obvious she loves her job and cares about her patients.
