Alabaster, AL has 24 listings in the Dental.me directory, and 13 of them carry a Google rating, with 3,996 reviews between them. The plain average is 4.48 stars, or 4.87 weighted by reviews, and two ratings on four reviews between them pull the plain figure down. Four rated listings hold 63% of the reviews and are on none of the 12 service lists. This guide shows what the ratings, review counts, addresses and service lists settle and what they leave open. Directory data as of November 2026.
Dentists in Alabaster, AL: what the directory holds
All 24 listings have a phone number on file, 13 have a website URL and 14 have opening hours. Ratings are third-party Google data: they show how reviewers scored an office, not its clinical quality. Dental.me holds no review text, no review dates, no appointment-availability data and no insurance data, so it cannot say how recent a rating is or what reviewers wrote; the dates are on each office’s Google profile.
That 4.48 is a plain average of 13 ratings, and it says nothing about any one office. The two lowest are Scott A. Anderson D.M.D. (3.7 on three) and Livingston Nicholas R DDS (1.0 on one), and without them the plain average is 4.86. Ten of the 13 are 4.8 or higher and hold 3,940 of the reviews, so a star number will not separate them. Dental.me holds the rating, not the reasons behind it.
Alabaster dentists by Google rating and review count
The table lists the first six on the Dental.me Score, sorted by star rating and then by review count. Three listings show a 5.0: Callyn Tedin DMD PC (417 reviews) and Michael Boohaker (212) are in the table, and Michael F. McCarthy, DMD rests on a single review. Each name opens a Dental.me profile.
| Practice | Rating | Reviews | Profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| Callyn Tedin DMD PC | 5.0 | 417 | View profile |
| Michael Boohaker | 5.0 | 212 | View profile |
| Mountain Smiles – Alabaster PLLC | 4.9 | 751 | View profile |
| Birmingham Orthodontics | 4.9 | 467 | View profile |
| Canales Orthodontics | 4.9 | 290 | View profile |
| Albritton & Ardovino Family Dentistry | 4.9 | 269 | View profile |
A 4.9 on 751 and a 5.0 on 212 are two ratings on two sample sizes, and neither measures clinical quality. Two of the four largest records are outside the table: Buck Creek Family Dental (4.8 on 929), the largest count and seventh on the Score, and Taylor Francis (4.8 on 431), eighth. The Alabaster dentist directory lists all 24 over two pages, with no sort control. It opens with four cards marked Featured, out of Score order, and after those it follows the Dental.me Score. The Dental.me Score is built mainly from a practice’s Google rating and the depth of reviews behind it, with a small lift for an office that verifies its listing. It reads a rating and a review count and does not measure care. Paid placements are clearly labeled as Featured and never change the organic order.
Reading an Alabaster rating: the count is a sample size
The 13 rated listings hold 3,996 Google reviews. The six largest records hold 3,285 of them (82%), and the other seven ratings share 711. A review count gives the size of the sample, not a measure of care: one new review moves a rating on one further than it moves a rating on 929. The chart shows the six largest.
Buck Creek Family Dental has the largest count and Mountain Smiles – Alabaster PLLC is first on the Score: its 4.9 on 751 sits above Buck Creek’s 4.8 on 929. Those two, Taylor Francis and Callyn Tedin DMD PC are on none of the 12 service lists, and they hold 2,528 of the reviews (63%), so a search that starts from any list does not show them. The stored URL for Mountain Smiles – Alabaster PLLC is on stonecreekdentalcare.com and the one for Taylor Francis is on familycaredentalbirmingham.com. Nobody has confirmed how a listing relates to its URL, so ask the office who would treat you.
Alabaster dentists with a website on file, and the 11 with no rating
Thirteen of the 24 listings have a website URL on file and 11 do not. The 13 are 11 sites, because one site is on three listings: Buck Creek Family Dental and the unrated Carolyn C Jones, DMD and Martha J Acton, DMD. Eleven of the 13 rated listings have a URL, and the two that do not are Michael F. McCarthy, DMD and Livingston Nicholas R DDS, each on one review. A missing URL means only that Dental.me has no link to include, not that the office has no site of its own, so for those, call.
Eleven of the 24 listings have no rating. Six are matched to a Google profile showing no reviews and five have no Google match on Dental.me, and Dental.me does not record why. A missing rating says nothing about the care. Six of the 11 give the street of a rated listing, so ask whether you are calling a separate office. Alabama Sleep Solutions LLC does not read as a dental office by name. Of the 24 listings, 13 came from the federal NPPES provider registry. A registry listing gives a provider’s name and the address filed with the registry, and it does not show that patients are seen there.
Shared addresses and phones among Alabaster dentists
Read the address and the phone. The 24 listings carry 21 distinct phone numbers. Buck Creek Family Dental and the unrated Carolyn C Jones, DMD and Martha J Acton, DMD give 9100 Hwy 119 and one URL; the two unrated listings share a phone that is not Buck Creek’s, and an unrated Alabama Dental Professionals, PC gives that street on another phone. Canales Orthodontics (4.9 on 290) and an unrated Dr. Christopher Canales give one phone and one suite at 100 S Colonial Dr. Scott A. Anderson D.M.D. (3.7 on three) and an unrated Scott Anderson give Suite 400 there on different phones. Birmingham Orthodontics (4.9 on 467) and Michael F. McCarthy, DMD (5.0 on one) give 304 1st St N #300 on different phones. Livingston Nicholas R DDS (1.0 on one) and an unrated Everts, Livingston and Miller Surgical Services, PC give 420 1st St N. Two unrated Penfield Orthodontics listings give one phone and one address. Nobody has confirmed how these listings relate, and one street address can hold separate offices, so call before you count them as separate choices.
Dental specialists in Alabaster: what the 12 service lists hold
Dental.me keeps 12 service lists for Alabaster, and ten of them name a listing. The orthodontist and Invisalign lists are the same six: Birmingham Orthodontics (4.9 on 467), Canales Orthodontics (4.9 on 290), Michael F. McCarthy, DMD (5.0 on one) and three unrated listings. Going by the shared phones and suites above, those six may be three offices. The cosmetic list holds five, among them Scott A. Anderson D.M.D. and Canales Orthodontics. The implant list is Albritton & Ardovino Family Dentistry (4.9 on 269) and the three on the oral surgeon list, where the only rating is a 1.0 on one review, so any rating line empties that list.
The whitening list is Albritton & Ardovino Family Dentistry and Michael Boohaker (5.0 on 212). The pediatric list is Michael Boohaker and Lauri M. Williams, DMD, PC (4.8 on 173); neither has a pediatric name, so ask whether the office routinely sees children. Albritton & Ardovino Family Dentistry is the whole emergency dentist list and the whole periodontist list, and Michael Boohaker is the whole denture list. A place on the emergency list shows a listed service, not a current opening. The endodontist and prosthodontist lists are empty. A place on a list shows what an office lists, not how often it does that work, so ask whether the office does your procedure itself.
Start from the orthodontist, Invisalign or cosmetic list if that is the work you need, and read the full directory as well. Buck Creek Family Dental, Mountain Smiles – Alabaster PLLC, Taylor Francis and Callyn Tedin DMD PC are on no list, and Dental.me does not establish why, so ask them directly what they offer. An empty list does not show that no office does that work.

How to choose a dentist in Alabaster, AL
Start from the service you need and read the whole list before you apply a rating line, because any rating line empties the oral surgeon list here. Then read the Alabaster dentist directory as well, because four rated listings with 63% of the reviews are on no list. Read each count as a sample size, read the address and phone for listings that may be one office, and call. Confirm your insurance and that the practice is accepting new patients before you book; Dental.me holds neither answer.
Dental.me holds no availability data, so ask how soon the office can see you. If you are paying out of pocket, ask for the self-pay rate for a cleaning and exam. Dental.me does not publish prices, and our national guide to dental costs gives no price ranges either; it lists what a quote depends on (the procedure, exam findings, insurance and materials), so ask each office for a written, itemized estimate.
