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 appointment was at 11am, which is when I showed up. It is now past 11:45am and I am still sitting in the waiting room. Update: I'm updating my review because the staff was really sweet to me and explained the cause of the delay. They did a great job and I overreacted because I was under stress and short of time.

I usually have to go to canyonville advantage dental and the dentist there is average but not good at helping the younger ones cooperate. By the time my 15 yr old got in at the winston advantage her # 30 and 31 were both in such bad shape. I am so grateful for Megan I believe was her name the dmd that helped my daughter with such ease. Thank you thank you thank you. I hope all my appointments from here on can be with her.

This place is horrible. I have Severe mental health issues and it's very hard for me to get into the dentist we are working on putting dentures in my mouth. Well they pulled the majority of my teeth told me to come in on 28 December so we can get started on my dentures and now it says everything is closed and nobody's answering the phones and I'm quite frustrated because of how this is seriously affecting my mind right now. It's really sad that they couldn't even call to give a heads up to patients that they were closing permanently or temporary or whatever the excuses.There's no reason somebody from that office should not have every reached to let people know what was going on I find it very unprofessional and I'm extremely upset because now I don't get my denture imprints today and more than likely it will be months and months and months before I'm able to do so due to the way they schedule things. It's not right.

Don't recommend. The incompetence of the front office staff is ridiculous she doesn't even know how to enter information into the computer when you give it to her. They didn't save any of our insurance information when we physically handed her the cards. And if you have ohp I highly recommend requesting a change.

NEVER take your children here. As my child's pediatrician requested, I brought my barely two year old daughter in for her first dental appointment. The dentist my daughter saw thought the funniest thing in the world to do was to pop out my daughter's pacifier because it made my daughter cry. She took her pacifier several times just so she could laugh when my daughter would start crying. This place is a disgrace and I'm thoroughly disgusted by the people they employ.

I am actually trying to find a new dentist who accepts ohp. This place is supposed to be the ohp contracted dentist and they still insist on trying to get me to get root canals. OHP specifically states that they don't do certain things after age 21. IF, on the rare instance OHP approved a special case for the root canal, they don't cover crowns, just this filling/cap combo that 'might' last a year. I already was told by my last dentist, when I had Blue Cross, that I'd need a partial, but they refuse to follow that treatment plan, insisting I keep teeth that are defective and cause pain and swelling of my jaw. They've also broken the veneers I on got on my old insurance for my front teeth with their cleanings and for OHP that's a cosmetic thing, so not covered to repair or replace. Then they've been pushing for my teen son to get root canals in over half of his teeth, but say that since he's not an adult, he has to go to a specialist, which again isn't covered. He has had soft enamel since birth and the hygienist is so rough, he has lost chunks of his teeth with cleanings.
