About Woodlawn Dental
Woodlawn Dental sits on 57th Street South in the historic Woodlawn neighborhood, on Birmingham's east side where the residential blocks have anchored generations of families across the city's industrial-era past and current revitalization. The practice handles general dentistry for the surrounding Woodlawn, East Lake, and eastern Birmingham community — multi-generational households, longtime residents, and the working families that anchor the neighborhood's stability.
Cavity work makes up a regular portion of the schedule. The team uses tooth-colored composite as the default material, with single-surface fillings, multi-surface restorations, replacement fillings when older work has failed, and the structural call between filling and crown when more tooth material has been lost. Beyond fillings, services include cleanings and exams, root canals, crowns and bridges, extractions, gum-disease screening, and emergency dental care. They'll discuss treatment-plan options across cost points when multiple clinically reasonable paths exist, which matters in a community where insurance coverage and out-of-pocket capacity vary widely.
If you've been postponing dental work because you weren't sure how the cost would land, a comprehensive new-patient exam here usually combines the diagnostic with the price discussion in one visit so you can plan from there.
Patients searching for affordable family dental care in Birmingham, family dentist in Birmingham, or routine dental care in Birmingham who live in Woodlawn, East Lake, or eastern Birmingham often choose neighborhood practices over the longer drive toward downtown. Woodlawn Dental fits that local pattern. The new-patient exam combines comprehensive radiographs, periodontal screening, and a treatment-plan walkthrough before any restorative work is scheduled. For east-side Birmingham families picking a regular general dental practice, this 57th Street South office is a reasonable first appointment. It's worth asking whether the practice files insurance directly or expects payment up front and reimbursement separately, because the answer materially shifts how much you pay out of pocket on the visit day. For patients who grind their teeth or notice signs of nighttime clenching, flagging it at the new-patient exam matters more than most realize, since wear patterns affect filling material choices and crown planning over time.

I cannot say enough positive things about my experience with this Woodlawn Dental. From the moment I walked in, the staff was friendly, professional, and efficient. The front desk team made scheduling and paperwork simple, and I was seen right on time. The Dr Williams was exceptional — thorough, knowledgeable, and very patient in explaining my treatment options. They took the time to answer all my questions and made sure I was comfortable throughout the procedure. I especially appreciated the gentle approach and clear communication, which helped ease any anxiety I had. The office itself is clean and equipped with modern technology, which made the visit smooth and reassuring. It is clear that patient care and comfort are top priorities here. I would confidently recommend this practice to anyone seeking high-quality dental care in a welcoming environment.
I am a returning client for Woodlawn Dental. I’ve seen Dr. Grimes several times. She is always friendly, cordial and professional. I would highly recommend her and the rest of the folks there.
Always a great experience. Very friendly and professional atmosphere. Had a really good cleaning. The hygienist was very informative and explained everything she was doing. I’ve never had a hygienist explain the procedure. All my experiences at Woodlawn Dental have been excellent. I highly recommend it.
I just wanna say that I’ve been going Woodlawn for almost 20 some years and every time I go, I have no problem. They are very professional very kind. Very understanding they listen to you. They want to know how you feel and how can they make things better and that’s why I love about Woodlawn Dentist ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I can’t even began to thank you enough Dr. Williams for the answers we finally got today 11/07/2025 from you. He is a fantastic Dr, and would highly recommend him to anyone that may need help with their teeth or just need answers as to what is really going on with their mouth when 4 other DMD’s couldn’t they just basically pushed him out the door with the same answers just the way his mouth is what they would say. Finally got answers as to what was wrong with his gums. He takes the time with you to explain in detail when nobody else would because I found if it wasn’t something they couldn’t make money on they wanted nothing to do with you. That was the other DMD’s. He truly cares about you as a patient and human being, and not how many dollars he can make. It’s so nice to know there are some caring Dr’s still out there. I can’t again thank you for the piece of mind Kris and I finally got. I will personally tell anybody if you have to see an oral surgeon make it Dr. Benjamin Williams and don’t waste your time or money going anywhere else. The office staff are fantastic to. All of them where very kind. They also do teeth cleanings they are great at that to.
