Taisha B.

I use to avoid going to the dentist but after I found Opelika Dental Associates that mindset had changed!  You are cared from from the reception area to the dentist chair. You are made to feel comfortable and talked through every inch of your appointment. I love my dentist office!!

Vega F.

Beyond happy with the folks at Opelika Dental Associates! Went in for a filling and felt absolutely no pain or discomfort throughout the entire procedure. I let them know how worried I was about pain beforehand and they went the extra mile to make sure I felt safe and comfortable.

Thank you so, so much!

Greta Y.

Great staff! Everyone there is friendly and helpful. I also appreciate the dentist’s least-to-most invasive approach to treatment of problems. She doesn’t advise you to have procedures that can wait or can be avoided entirely. I trust her completely to do what is best for my dental health.

George O.
