Alabama Pediatric Dental Associates & Orthodontics

Very happy with APDA. There is zero dread in going to the dentist and the smooth and as comfortable way as possible they installed braces on my oldest. I appreciate the information Dr Paul relayed to me during the consultation as well as the installation.

Dr. Butler was very good w my kids. He was kind, gentle, patient & took his time explaining everything to me. Both my kids have dental anxiety & they took to him & his staff very quickly. All of the staff was very friendly, helpful & went the extra mile as to even call my insurance company to see what was covered & what was not. I highly recommend them !!

Great vibe! Approachable, laid back, not intimidating, but professional. Great care and was very in depth with information. Both kids loved the toys, too! Somehow my son managed to get two and for that, his day was made! In my day we were scared going to the dentist, thanks to y’all my kids look forward to it! Thank you!

APDA has been incredible at every visit, both for pediatric dentistry and orthodontics! Highly recommend them to any family searching for the best pediatric dentists to take care of the kids’ teeth.

Today we met with Dr. Butler to develop a plan to address our three year’s two cavities. He did a great job explaining the options we had and recommended a more conservative approach, which I really appreciate. He also pulled two baby teeth from our five year old that were making adult teeth come in crooked. Our five year old experienced no pain and had a good, even fun, experience. We also see Dr. Lackey and he’s wonderful as well!

Today was my Daughters 1st dentist appointment. She is only 16 months old and I was very nervous but she did amazing. She doesn’t like laying down so she did cry a little. However, the doctor and nurses were SO patient and kind to her and me. I was able to hold her during the appointment. We saw Dr. Todd Lackey who was super sweet and kept me very informed. It was a very fast visit because she is so young. We did find out she has 4 more teeth coming in and what to expect with the canines coming in. I was absolutely astonished with this office and am looking forward to our next visit!

Best experience I’ve ever had getting my kids teeth cleaned. Our family dentist retired in 2021 and we tried one dentist that was way overpriced. My friend works for this office and told me just try it and it was the best advice I’ve taken. They did amazing with my non verbal autistic 3 yr old, even thru him screaming. My older girls also loved everyone there! Great experience. No negatives!

My oldest daughter is on the spectrum, and has a really hard time with any doctor visits. She was talked to like a human being, and had everything explained to her while it was done. She was even allowed to sit on the end of the table for her check up instead of lying down. She did great because the entire staff is so great with kids of all ages and all types of anxieties. This is our favorite office we have ever visited.

Absolutely recommend!! My kiddo has really bad dental anxiety but let me tell you they had the best and most patients with her. They explained every little thing to her and showed her what everything does before using it. Communication is great! They answered all of our questions and then some. Everything was clean and calm. By far my favorite regular dentist I’ve taken her to!

I’ve been very happy with my daughter’s orthodontia care. They are always on time for appointments and we are usually in and out in 30 minutes. Prices also seem reasonable compared to what some of our friends have found at other practices. She still has her braces on so can’t speak to the long term effects but so far so good!

We were very impressed! They were quick and took care of all 3 of our sweet kiddos in one room and they were all very kind and informative! The kids loved it! Highly recommend them!!!!

APDA went above and beyond, squeezing my son in for a repair to his permanent and removable retainer on the same day that I called. Our entire braces process has been really smooth.

As always, so thankful for Karman! Loved seeing Dr.Butler this time! APDA will always be apart of our family!

Great dentist and dental staff. The staff are very friendly, the establishment is clean,my son enjoys playing with the toys, and they do a great job all around. I can't say one bad thing about them.

We have three kids and we love that we can schedule all three of them for an appointment at the same time. We are usually in and out for regular cleanings in 30 minutes (or less). The kids love the little prizes they get when they are done too.

Everyone was so patient with my 2 year old for his first cleaning and made sure to reassure me that his behavior was normal! He also loved being able to pick a prize when he was all done!

They are always so friendly and wonderful with our kids. My kids look forward to the dentist and do not fret it at all thanks to the staff here.

The staff always makes my kids feel at ease!

Dr. Lackey has been amazing with both of my kids! He knows exactly how to interact with children in a way that keeps them calm and happy throughout the entire process.

Fantastic experience! On time for their appointments, great facility, and every staff member obviously enjoys their job. They were very pleasant from check-in to check-out. My kids actually look forward to going to the dentist and the "fun" they have.
