Overview

Care for
The Whole Family

General and family dentistry at Smiles On Church meets your family’s needs with practical, friendly care. Whether a nervous six-year-old needs a first checkup or a working parent needs routine dental care, we help families keep mouths healthy, pain-free, and working well for life. Dr. Kevin Alexander and Dr. Gordon Henry lead our team in Birmingham, AL, and our approach focuses on prevention, clear communication, and making visits comfortable.

What Our Program Covers

Our general and family dentistry program covers routine checkups, cleanings, fillings, preventive advice, and coordination for more advanced care. We look for early signs of problems, then act to preserve healthy teeth. You’ll get to know a consistent care team that tracks changes in your oral health and adapts your care as your needs change. We prioritize honest explanations, so you know why a recommendation matters and what to expect next.

Comprehensive Care for Every Age

Families appreciate a practice that cares for everyone from toddlers to grandparents. We provide tooth-friendly guidance for children, protective treatments for teens, and restorative options for adults. For teens who play sports, we recommend mouthguards and explain the wear patterns that can harm enamel. For older adults, we focus on keeping chewing function and preventing tooth loss.

  • Preventive services scheduled by age group
  • Clear, written care plans for every family member
  • Coordination with specialists when needed

What to Expect at Your Visit

A typical visit involves a focused checkup, digital X-rays when needed, and a professional cleaning. We use modern scanners to record changes without lengthy impressions. Our team spends time answering questions and outlining treatment steps if we find an issue. Expect careful work, gentle techniques, and straightforward timelines.

  • A review of your medical history and what matters to you
  • A step-by-step plan if treatment is recommended
  • Time to discuss comfort options and scheduling preferences

Preventive Care That Works

Prevention saves time and helps avoid pain. We teach practical daily habits that reduce the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Children learn toothbrushing techniques in a supportive setting, while adults receive guidance on diet, grinding, and home care that fits busy schedules. We also use EMS Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) with AIRFLOW® technology to provide a gentler, more comfortable approach to professional dental cleanings. When early issues arise, we address them promptly to help prevent the need for more complex procedures later.

Our preventive focus includes:

  • Fluoride and sealant recommendations for kids
  • Night guards for patients who grind
  • Regular maintenance visits tailored to your risk level
  • EMS Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) for a gentle, thorough hygiene experience

Our Technology and Patient Comfort

Smiles On Church uses a 3D scanner, a CBCT scanner, iTero and TRIOS digital scanners, digital X-ray technology, and EMS Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) with AIRFLOW® technology to make dental care more precise and comfortable. During hygiene visits, AIRFLOW® uses a controlled combination of warm water, air, and fine powder to remove plaque, biofilm, and surface stains while reducing the need for traditional scraping. This approach can make cleanings especially comfortable for patients who experience tooth sensitivity and provides an elevated, spa-like hygiene experience.

Our digital technology also lets us show you clear images so you can better understand our findings and your treatment options. We aim to make your time in the chair pleasant, with blankets, TVs, water, and sparkling water available to help you relax. Advanced technology paired with thoughtful comforts helps us provide efficient, comfortable visits.

Scheduling and Follow-Up

We schedule follow-up appointments as needed to support your long-term care. Our team will give detailed explanations so you can be involved in every decision. If we need to refer you to a specialist, we will help guide you to the best care available.
