UAB Dentistry

I have had an abscess for 3 days and antibiotics weren't working. I walked in at 7:30am and everyone was super helpful. My entry time was 7:37am and by 9 they had already pulled me back and evaluated my teeth. It was $47 for the exam and X-ray. The student took me up to oral surgery and got me in line for removing 2 teeth that were severely infected at the roots. For extraction the prices can vary from$85-$125. Basically if it's harder and they have to grab extra tools it's going to cost a little more. The students that handled me were so kind and knowledgeable. I'll definitely be going to get the rest of my work done there. I was done by 11:30am and headed home.

I had two wisdom teeth pulled, as a 31 year old adult, and after they spent hours tearing my teeth out and leaving me swollen, they gave me nothing to deal with the pain. The over the counter ibuprofen clearly wasn’t enough, I woke up in screaming pain. I called back to explain I needed real pain medicine after having two wisdom teeth violently extracted and they said over the phone “sorry but what we gave you was plenty” …. They even handed me a piece of paper saying if my pain was bad enough to call back…. So I did and they got snarky, condescending and hung up on me when I called back. I can’t imagine anyone, anywhere, EVER having ANY wisdom teeth surgery like this and getting nothing but ibuprofen So now I have to go to the ER and hope someone else takes this pain seriously or I guess I’ll be in a lot of pain until this heals in a couple weeks! On top of all of this they were LATE to start my appointment , the entire staff, and because I got there early I was chewed out and lectured. Despite being let in and told my surgery was 30 minutes ago. NIGHTMARE PLACE, poor Dr. skills, poor customer service, poor pain management after poor dental skill (major surgery) and finally poor follow up I would give this place a negative 1 if I could, because I was treated like a piece of meat they ya led on and they didn’t give a crap what I felt like after. To the point of being confrontational and rude. DO NOT GET WISDOM TEETH PULLED HERE THEY WILL NOT PROPERLY SUPPORT YOU, EVEN THOUGH THEY TAKE OATHS TO TREAT YOU correctly before surgery, during and after surgery. They have failed me In every way and I am left in so much pain and disappointment and anger when I should be properly healing in PEACE.

I had a wisdom tooth extraction here, and the resident who did the extraction lacked bedside manners. As someone who works in healthcare, it is not normal to dismiss your patients concerns, nor is it normal to leave a patient unattended on nitrous oxide for over 20 minutes. Though I feel the procedure itself went okay, I feel my concerns were left dismissed. I don’t think I would come back here for a procedure like this, would only recommend for teeth cleanings and such. I understand everyone here is still learning, however, bedside manners and kindness is something we all should have learned early on, especially in a field surrounded by anxious patients. Everyone else before this procedure was great! The student who did my x rays and consultation was very nice and understanding and did a great job!

First time at this clinic, and I had an amazing experience. The staff, students, and doctors were all incredibly kind and welcoming. The consult process was smooth, and I was able to get all four of my wisdom teeth removed the very next day. I want to give special recognition to Laura and Dr. Griffin on the 4th floor. I hadn’t been to the dentist in a couple of years due to fear of oral tools, but Laura made the entire appointment feel easy and comfortable. She’s relatable, genuine, sweet, and truly caring. Her professionalism and character immediately built trust, and even during the extraction, her reassurance gave me confidence that everything was going to be okay. Dr. Griffin was equally amazing—watching the way he led his team was refreshing to see in a medical setting. I honestly couldn’t be happier with my experience at UAB. I even spoke with other patients in the waiting room and heard nothing but great things. Absolutely worth the 2-hour drive.

My mouth was killing me and I needed 2 teeth pulled so I showed up as a walk-in.😬🦷 They got me taken care of and pulled my teeth the same day! Very polite staff and students! The price was also a win, way cheaper than anywhere else I called! If you or anyone you know can’t afford dental or is in pain and need some work done ASAP then this is the place for you! I will definitely be back in the future!!❤️
