Reviews of Southern Dental Birmingham
I had a great first experience at Southern Dental! The staff was super friendly. Dr. Maddox was very personable and great at explaining my dental care. This clinic felt like “home” and I’m looking forward to returning.
Great experience today. Saw me in a timely fashion. Friendly staff. Dr. Smith took care of my extractions quickly and in a pain free procedure. Technicians were helpful with my questions. Highly recommended. Thank you!
My first visit with Dr. Smith. Not disappointed. In fact, he restored my faith in dentist. Personable, professional and showed genuine concern about my dental issues.
Staff treated me like a life long friend. Given healthcare today, his standards are still high. Thanks
Had some pretty major work done today, but Dr Smith was so comforting and put me right at ease from the start!
Everyone from the front desk to all the staff in the back are always so kind and welcoming.
Would never go anywhere else!!!
They are great. Dr. Drayton is the best dentist in Birmingham!
The new patient forms online were short and easy to submit making my first check-in a breeze. I was called back very quickly, the staff was all incredibly nice and friendly, and they did a very thorough job cleaning my teeth. I’m really glad they were recommended to me for my dental needs, and will definitely be back every 6 months for my regular cleanings, along with any other needs that may come up in the future.
Excellent experience - the best doctor and hygienist I’ve ever had 😀 They have the highest level of technology and machines and know how to use them. They also are totally organized and waste no time in getting to see you and analyzing your problems. When you have any emergencies they will see you immediately which is very impressive. You can not find any better total Dental service than this group!
I was given an appointment less than 24 hours after I called. When arriving I was greeted warmly, and within minutes I was escorted to a room where a very friendly and humorous dental hygienist took bite-wing X-rays and proceeded to do a thorough job of cleaning.
When I made the appointment, I mentioned that a week earlier I’d lost a small porcelain filling in tooth #11. When Dr. Drayton Smith came into the room to check the X-rays, he looked at tooth #11 and said he had time to repair the defect. I was brought into another room and the work proceeded. It was painless, and I enjoyed being with Dr. Smith and his assistant. They were finished in an hour, and I went home very happy! A highly recommended dental practice!
Most of my dental experiences throughout my life have been on the traumatic side... which means I'm a high needs patient when I'm there for even a cleaning. Everyone at Southern Dental is always absolutely wonderful and very accommodating - never lets me feel like I'm being too sensitive or need to "toughen up". Best dental experience of my life.
Quick & professional! I had no waiting time before Megan called me back for teeth cleaning. She is great & very considerate…made my teeth extra clean & shiny! Dr. Drayton did not leave me waiting either! Very punctual & thorough. He made sure I understood my options and next steps. Definitely glad I made my appointment here! If you’re new to town, this is the place to go for your new dentist!
Always a pleasure getting my teeth cleaned, at Southern Dental. Elizabeth was gentle, fast, and gave me a very thorough cleaning. I love Dr. Maddox. He’s a funny and talented man, who also happens to be a very knowledgeable and extremely efficient dentist. Dr. Smith & Dr. Craft are also wonderful dentists. I never have to wait long and I’m always greeted with a smile. Michelle, Penny, and the rest of the office staff are always so sweet. Highly recommend this practice! (Thanks for the $1000 bonus, for the review! ~ TOTALLY KIDDING, FOLKS!!! I was not paid a dime 😉 )
I’ve been with this practice since for years, starting with Dr. James Smith. After he retired, I continued and have had overall positive experiences.
My family and I have been using Southern Dental for many years now! I have always had a great experience! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and I absolutely love Dr. Maddox! The location is convenient but I would drive farther if I had to!
I had a wonderful experience here and I will never go anywhere else! I felt valued and respected. Every single staff member I came in contact with could not have been nicer. My oral surgeon was amazing. I had two teeth extracted yesterday and I’m not even sore today. No bruising or swelling. I’ve had this done at a couple other places and the difference is night and day!
The whole team at Southern Dental couldn’t be any nicer. Everyone is so helpful and they make you feel so comfortable. The care I have received is unmatched. Very honest, educated, reliable, and compassionate. Great great practice.
Dr. Maddox is amazing. He has a wonderful bedside manner, even with my three children. He does really great work. I've unfortunately had a lot of work done and I have never had to go back for minor fixes with him like I've had to with every other dentist. He also works very well with our orthodontist and endodontist. I can't say enough about how great he is.
Great visit dr Maddox and Megan were very attentive. I have been their patient for more than 15 years and happy. They will help you care well for your teeth. Thank you Southern Dental.
Ditto message below for my experience Monday. Dr Maddox is outstanding and Megan is awesome!
Best dental experience I have ever had and I am old; have seen several dentists. Dr Maddox and his staff are caring and considerate in addition to being extremely knowledgeable. Appointment times are kept—no unnecessary waiting. For the first time, I truly do not dread going to the dentist. 😊
I have been using this dentist office for over 20 years. They are both professional and pleasant. I have always been pleased with their work and I have no intention of changing away from them.
Since changing my provider to Southern Dental, I have experienced consummate professionalism and care by the entire staff. Front office staff is very courteous and welcoming, the hygienists are thorough and personable, and Dr. (Drayton) Smith is awesome. I’m more than satisfied with having my dental care handled by this office!!!
This is the best dentist I’ve ever been to. Dr Maddox is pleasant, kind, and professional. He takes time to explain everything he is going to do and is never in a hurry. From the friendly ladies at the front desk to the hygienists (I always ask for Andrea! She's amazing! Always friendly and professional) in your room, they all go out of their way to make your experience comfortable and pleasant. I will never go anywhere else! They saved my teeth and turned my life around. I can’t thank them enough.
I always have a great experience at Southern Dental. Dr. Maddox is the best, hands down. Very caring and informative!
4 star because my first visit I wasn't given any information on my teeth with vague answers such as you'll just need to come back in again without a why even when I asked what's wrong. Desk ladies were nice though. Second visit was full of info on my situation and felt like I saw an actual dentist.
This was my first visit to Southern Dental. My stepson had referred me.
Regrettably I had put off having my teeth cleaned for over 2 years. Megan was my hygienist & I was really impressed at how gentle she was cleaning my teeth. I never felt her gouge into my gums which I very much appreciated.
The dentist explained that I had one cavity under a crown that needed to be addressed.
Everyone I came in contact with was very professional & pleasant. I very much enjoyed the overall experience!
This was my first visit to Southern Dental. Dr. Maddox and his entire staff were absolutely wonderful!
Southern dental is superior to any other dental organization in Birmingham. Dr. Maddox is the best dentist I have ever had and I will never go anywhere else. I had to get multiple crowns and visited them over a dozen times, and I liked it more each time. The front desk women are awesome and very helpful with any needs. Look no further! Dr. Maddox will give you peace of mind for any procedure you need, he really knows what he is doing.
My experience with Dr. Maddox and the staff at Southern Dental is always excellent. They are friendly, thorough, and serve their clients with the utmost integrity. Hygienist Emily was fantastic! I highly recommend this group!
Dr Maddox is a GREAT dentist..knowledgeable & professional. He knows what needs to be done & does it in a timely manner. He has a good personality & takes pride in his work. His assistants are also professionals. You feel confident that you are in good hands. I have never experienced any pain throughout all the dental work I have had done. I highly recommend Dr Maddox to all my family & friends.
These guys are legit. They have a great organization and literally - great organization. In short, they are well run and super friendly people. The organization is professional, efficient and absolutely easy to work with. The costs are in line with other organizations their size and seem to have the working process down to a science a bit better than others I had used in the New Orleans area before moving back here. The one other dental clinic I have used in the Birmingham
Area when I moved up here was super pleasant to work with but only had one dentist on staff. These guys have multiple and last check it was three. I like that as well. I would highly recommend this group. I feel they are a Top Tier group for sure. Hard to find better in my opinion.
Preston R.
Definitely deserves 5 stars. Dr Smith applied 8 upper crowns and they match perfectly with my natural teeth. He made sure there was no pain. He and the staff at Southern Dental are the best. I can't stop smiling!
Outstanding treatment. Pre-check in was not available upon arrival even though it had been completed more than 24 hours prior to appointment time. Discussed with dentist a possible treatment plan. Was told a plan with estimated cost would be forwarded to me. Haven’t received as of this date.
Wonderful experience! From signing in to checking out the process and people could not have been better! If you need a dentist and are looking for a practice that treats you like you matter to them, then Murphy Maddox and the folks at Southern Dental are where you need to be!
4/13/22
Another great experience. They worked hard to reschedule me due to a cancellation. Nothing but good things to say about these folks!
Dr Drayton Smith and Megan were great. Southern Dental is always professional, helpful and patient focused.
Love this dental practice so much! Everyone is always so nice and caring and everyone always has a smile on their face! Pennie at the front desk is always so happy and willing so help! Megan always cleans my teeth and she is so thorough, gentle, and has such a great personality! Dr. Maddox is the sweetest and makes sure you have the best care, and my family always loves to see him!
Best admin team ever. Make me feel like family
Very helpful on the phone setting up my appointment and working me into their busy schedule as a gold crown had come off. I am from out of the area and they worked me in on a day that I was going to be in Birmingham.
Greeted promptly and filled out a few forms and within minutes they called me back. Technician was very friendly and knowledgeable. Had me all prepped and ready for Dr. Maddox. Dr. Maddox was so nice and concerned about my situation. Asked lots of questions to insure that he was providing me with the proper care. He got it back on immediately and then came back and checked after I got cleaned up and boom, I was gone. BEST visit to a dentist EVER. My wife and I decided to use Dr. Maddox and his wonderful staff as our regular dentist even though we live 2 hours away. We are looking forward to our next visits which will be for our regular cleaning and x rays. The lady at the counter even told us about a great plan they have to help us save money on our dental care. What a great place!!!
Dr. Murphy Maddox and the entire staff of hygienists and front office are amazing! I love this place, as much as you can love the dentist! Dr. Maddox is so gentle and patient, and I've never had to wait because anyone is behind. I would highly recommend this dental office.
Everyone in the office was more than friendly and helpful. If you’ve done all the paperwork it helps make the process of checking in so much quicker. Best dental office I’ve ever been to in regards of cleanliness and service.
Dr. Maddox is a great dentist! He was very gentle and he made going to the dentist a very bearable experience!
A very positive experience every time I go. The receptionist is very welcoming. The environment is always very inviting. Each dental hygienist I've had has been very friendly and did an excellent job cleaning my teeth. Dr. Maddox is wonderful too! I highly recommend Southern Dental!
Dr. Drayton Smith has been my dentist for several years. He is very skilled and knowledgeable. I have had a lot of dental work and Dr. Smith has done an excellent job. His staff is friendly and skilled.
I highly recommend Dr. Smith
Was scheduled for a cleaning but the Friday before my crown came loose from caramel candy I was eating. Left a message at the office. They called me Monday to come in one hour earlier so they could cement the crown back. Got the crown and the cleaning done quickly! Been coming here for over 30 years, and they have always been the best!! Highly recommend them!
My visit yesterday was fabulous!
The office staff was wonderful, and Dr. Maddox was better than I had ever anticipated! He was so pleasant and solved my problem in no time!
I highly recommend Dr. Maddox and his office!
Always a wonderful experience! Great doctors and staff. They have a great attitude and make you feel welcome even when you don’t want to be there. I can’t say enough about this Team at Southern Dental. Professionals, Highly trained and I would recommend them to anyone. Thanks for what you do and how you do it!
Dr. Maddox does excellent work, and is a great communicator. The office is full of kind and thoughtful workers. It is a privilege to be his patient.
My first time here was made necessary because I broke a tooth. The solution was a crown, which was done quickly. Those things are never cheap, but they have an in-house program to help with expenses. $295/year.
I have been back several times, and it's always been great. They had me back for another emergency broken tooth (this time with insurance!) and Dr Maddox did the least amount necessary to repair the problem. Very efficient and very safe, even during this corona virus. Pleasant experience .
I need to add .. Elizabeth is the BEST dental assistant I have ever had! She is gentle, yet thorough. I have sensitive teeth, so I really appreciate that.
Southern Dental is the only place for me and my family! Professional and knowledgeable staff and a pleasant and friendly atmosphere.
ALWAYS a wonderful experience!!! I actually look forward to seeing Dr. Maddox, Marilyn, Elizabeth, Michelle and all the folks at Southern Dental!! I cannot recommend them highly enough.
The staff at Southern Dental is amazing! They always go above and beyond to accommodate their patients! So sweet and friendly! I highly recommend them! My son who is 9 loves them. He used to go to a pediatric dentist office and prefers to use the “big kid” dentist and always looks forward to his visit. I will always drive the hour for these fabulous people!
I have been a patient here for 16 years, 10 of them while living out of state. I keep coming back because of the friendly, accommodating service from people who feel like family. Dr Drayton’s dental skill makes me know I am in good hands, too.
Every single interaction is wonderful! Dr Maddox is kind and informative. Elizabeth is the best hygienist in the business. She is thoughtful, caring, diligent and loving. I have never met someone as delightful as Elizabeth. The office staff are all wonderful as well. Everyone welcomes you with open arms. Even during covid they’re doing everything they can to ensure patients are comfortable and safe. Temperature checks in place, masks required, pens and credit cards are being sanitized. The offices are clean and quiet. Feels very safe and confidential.
Each service performed has been very well described and has gone as planned. The time scheduled has been right on; the planning is much appreciated especially with my busy schedule. Even during my procedures each step was talked through and I was checked on to ensure I was comfortable and not in any pain. The level of concern for my comfort is unlike Ive experienced before. That extra step makes you feel important. The team is clearly doing something right because they’re scheduling a lot of patients. But please be patient with them, your visit is worth any wait you may encounter.
I am so thankful to have found a provider that genuinely cares for their patients and will go the extra steps to take best care of them. Would highly recommend! (Don’t forget to ask for Elizabeth- she is AMAZING)!
I needed an emergency check of a tooth that was giving me pain and they were able to squeeze me in same day and refer me to a specialist for my type of issue. Everything you could want in this type of situation. Dr. Drayton Smith & the entire team from front desk to hygienist….they’re the best!
Dr Maddox and his hygienist Elizabeth are so kind and gentle. It has totally changed my view of going to the dentist. Elizabeth is a wonderful hygienist who doesn't hurt you when she cleens your teeth!
Update - Another wonderful experience at the dentist last week. Didn't think I would ever say that!
Southern Dental is important to our overall family health. We really appreciate all that you do to make sure our dental health is always on the right track! The professionalism of your staff is great. Thank you!
Thank you to each who make our visits there a positive experience. We appreciate the personal interest the staff has in our family and the gentle care they give. Thanks for the flexibility in scheduling and keeping wait time to almost nothing. A shout out to all three dentists and their staff!👏👍😁 …
Great friendly staff. Hygienist is personable and does a thorough cleaning. Dr. Maddox is also a wonderful dentist. Great team.
Wow what a blessing it was to witness the teamwork at Southern Dental! Every single aspect of the staff was immensely helpful. It was a wonderful business model while at the same time feeling like a family dynamic. My overall experience was completely perfect. From the smiling kind staff to the immaculate restrooms. Its pretty important to have kind, patient people surrounding you and encouraging you when your teeth are at stake. Let’s be honest, no one really looks forward to going to the dentist, but I do! My next appointment is in March and I can’t wait! Dr. Drayton Smith is an absolute blessing. I thank God for his ministry through dentistry. Thank you! Acts 20:35
Easy booking process, friendly staff, wonderful cleaning experience with Megan.
Dr. Smith and his staff are phenomenal! Not only did he fix the issue that warranted my visit. He also thoroughly explained to me what my options were for a different issue, and the costs associated with each option. He and the entire staff are both friendly and professional. I HIGHLY recommend this practice to anyone needing to see a dentist.
Dr. Maddox is the absolute best dentist out there; his chairside manner is exceptional. Highly recommend!
Always smiles and good vibes whenever I am at Southern Dental. My experience is not the norm, I actually look forward to my visits. I have been a patient of Doctor D. Smith for close to 14 years. He and the staff are my surrogate family. I have never heard a complaint or a moan or groan. If you want your first experience at a dentist to be stress free, then Southern Dental, is the place to be. They are definitely a hard act to follow.😉
My dentist recently retired after 40 years. My baby daughter referred me to your office and Dr Maddox. I have been so pleased. Everyone is so friendly and treats you like family. Love my singing dentist, Dr Maddox. I would suggest anyone looking for a néw dentist to try Southern Dental on Valleydale Road in Birmingham, Al.
Very friendly staff. No judgement after not visiting the dentist in a long while. Made me feel comfortable and walked me through my plan and the details in a way that was easy to understand.
I chipped a filling the night before, ended up being the filling and part of the tooth. And they were willing to see me the next day. It was a Thursday and all the dentist normally Leave early, right after lunch, they had one that was willing to stay and see me and put a crown on got there about 12:45 was out of there by 2:30. Great people and had a great time. Would highly recommend it definitely worth the drive.
Great experience at Southern Dental. Really friendly and don't rush stuff. No waiting time. The dental hygienist was very professional and took appropriate time to work on my gums. Dr. Maddox was great and gave really good advice. 5 stars all the way. Everything was very professional and they take DENTAL PLANS TOO.
The sweetest people. I had no wait time at all. They called me right as I had finished signing in. Gave me great advice and recommendations. They make me truly love going to the dentist!!
Great staff! All were extremely nice and helpful as it was my first time in their office. Dr. Maddox was also very nice! I loved everything about my visit
I love this place & the people! I have always had a great experience no matter who took care of me. They do excellent work & take advantage of all of the new technology out there. I recommend them anytime I hear someone looking for a new dentist.
Everyone in this Dental office is helpful and very friendly. Basically, you are treated like family. Dr. Drayton Smith is the best, friendliest dentist around. You will not find a better Dental office with caring people to take care of you.
I have experienced nothing but professionalism and kindness from the front of the office staff, my hygienist, and Dr. Smith each and every single time I have had an appointment or talked with anyone on the phone. I would recommend this establishment to anyone looking for a new dentist. They are top notch.
This was an emergency visit due to my personal dentist being out of town. Dr Drayton Smith and the Southern Dental staff were quite welcoming, extremely professional, and very personable. Simply stated; a great experience.
I had a little problem of bleeding gums pop up and I called & got worked in that morning! Protocols for COVID were followed precisely, and I felt comfortable the whole time. Got a quick x-ray & they determined that I need to be scheduled for a deep cleaning....as expected. I got a nice injection of antibiotics & it has solved the pain problem, and I'm holding steady until my next appointment. Couldn't ask for a nicer staff, friendlier doctor, or more pleasant experience for a dental issue!
Everyone is so nice and professional. Dr.Maddox is great and I can tell that he cares a lot about his patients. I always feel comfortable when I come here. I’m really pleased with this place. They’re awesome!
Love having my teeth cleaned, Megan is excellent
Dental hygienist, kind, efficient and professional,
Could not ask for better experience. Love
Dr Maddox too. Best Dental experience ever.
Thank you Megan & Dr Maddox.
Staff is professional and courteous. Dr Drayton is honestly the best dentist I’ve ever had. 5 stars!
The entire staff were very friendly and courteous. The Dentist and the Dental Hygienist were top of the line professionals. I would highly recommend them .
You guys are perfect!! What more can I say! All of you sweet girls at the front desk are so pleasant and friendly!! Always happy!! My hygienist was the most precious young lady ever!!! And Dr Maddox is awesome- so kind and caring- you guys !!! What more can I say?!! Santa will be so good to you all!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
They were great they had me in and out in 45 minutes that was awesome I like them both the lady which I forgot her name I'm sorry and Dr Maddox thank y'all.
Amazing staff!! Dr.Maddox is quite knowledgeable and very thorough as well as his assistant Addie. I'm happy to be their patient!
Thanks,
N.Dukes
I haven't been to the dentist in 2 years because of Covid and my crazy work schedule. They called me about a cancelation and I was happy to oblige. Masks are worn throughout the office. All equipment was wrapped in plastic for easy cleaning. The room was slightly cold so a blanket would have been nice. But I didn't ask for one. Southern Dental always makes me feel welcome. They work around my schedule
The Staff are always polite and personable. I moved from Inverness to Riverchase community nine years ago and decided to stay with Dr.Drayton instead of finding a dentist closer. Dr.Drayton is also the dentist for my husband and my children (young adults).He always ask about the family.I can’t say enough about Dr.Drayton and his team at Southern Dental. If your looking for a dentist you can’t go wrong with this group.
I’ve been going to this dental practice for more than 20 years. They are the best! They always treat you with the upmost care making sure it’s always a pain-free visit. Everyone from their front desk staff, hygienist and dentist are professional, attentive and nice.
First, I respect Dr. Drayton Smith and he has helped me overcome my fear of dentist. He is very professional, as his staff is the best! I can’t ever think of letting any one take care of my dental needs now and in the future.
My appointment started exactly at my appointment time. The hygienist, Andrea, was very friendly and also very efficient with our time. Both Dr. Smith and Dr. Maddox explain things very clearly so that I understood what to expect at my next appointment. I have a recommend Southern dental family and cosmetic dentistry!
Most people don't look forward to going to the dentist, and as I think of all the places I've been over the years Southern Dental is doing it right. Office staff, hygentists and doctors who look forward to seeing you and caring how you are is rare and special. Dr. Maddox is as cheerful and professional as they come and you can tell from the feeling in the office that people enjoy being there to work or seek dentistry.
My experience at Southern Dental was wonderful! I was visiting Birmingham from out of town and was able to get worked in to get a crown for a broken tooth. Dr. Maddox was awesome, along with the entire staff who put my mind at ease in a potentially stressful situation. I only wish I lived closer and Dr. Maddox could be my permanent dentist. Perhaps you could open a satellite office in Florida?!😎
After my great experience at this office, I no longer have anxiety over visiting the dentist. The front office staff and dental assistants were very caring and my cleaning was quick and painless. Highly recommend!
Such a pleasure to go for a dental appointment always so kind and truthful about work to be done and professional. So thankful for all employees
Every time I have an appointment at Southern Dental, it’s been good. The doctors, the dental assistants, physician assistants and the sweet girls at the front are all very kind, informative and professional. I would recommend them to anyone and always know when I have an appointment, it will be a nice experience.
Dr. Maddox and his staff are the best! When I go to Southern Dental, I know the I am going to have quality dental work done, I am going to laugh a lot, and I am going to be taken care of people who care about me. Who knew a visit to the dentist could be so fun🤓 …
Our family has been going here for many years. We appreciate how you rarely have to wait. The hygienist, dentist & staff are always super friendly too!
I am sorry, I thought I posted this six Months ago.
Andrea is awesome, very friendly, efficient with her time, detailed and caring as well. She has cleaned my teeth both the last two times and I have left with a great impression of her both times. Thank you!
Andrea saw each of my 3 children in a timely, very clean manner- she and Dr Maddox were extremely kid-friendly and considered their ages and comfort cues to give them the best service and ease for future visits! We love Southern Dental!
I’ve been a patient of Dr. Smith’s since 2011 and after moving over 35min away I continue to go to his office. All of the Southern Dental staff are very professional, friendly and attentive. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a great dental experience.
We just moved to Bham and this was my first time to go to a new dentist in years. I did a lot of research and chose Southern Dental. You can't imagine how hard it is for me to choose a dentist, I'm one of those that have teeth falling-out dreams frequently and am so OCD when it comes to my teeth. This was huge! The office staff is warm and efficient, huge plus. They got me back quickly and I got with the hygienist. She did a great job with the cleaning and x-rays were comfortable, for me the worst part of the whole cleaning is the X-ray cardboard in my mouth, but it wasn't painful at all and quick. I met the dentist (Dr. Maddox), and I was so skeptical, because I've used the same dentist for so long, but he was TERRIFIC. Super thorough and knowledgeable. I had a small cavity, I don't like getting shots, I asked if he would do the filling without Novocain, he asked if I had done that before, I told him I had and he said he would. Got the cavity filled, he was AMAZING, steady hand, checked in to make sure I was ok while he was drilling and finished up quickly. There isn't any evidence of composite and it feels great! I'm really glad I chose Southern Dental. I highly recommend the practice and Dr. Maddox.
My first visit to southern Dental’s office and it was awesome as. From the staff at the front desk and everyone else I encountered they were very helpful and informative very pleasant visit.
As always my visit was great always a great staff checking and every other aspect of the visit is great.
Friendly and caring staff! Dr. Smith is absolutely wonderful! I only have positive things to say about Southern Dental and would highly recommend going there for dental care.
We, which includes myself, my wife and ten other family members have been patients of Dr. Smith for several years. The quality of care from Dr. Smith and his staff is great. They go the extra mile to make sure we are satisfied with their services.
The dentsts and staff here are fantastic! Always able to work me in as I am apparently a problem toothed person! And you get to see Dr. Maddox’s super artwork as a bonus!

Dr Maddox and his assistants were personable and friendly and did a great job, removing a crown and installing a temp crown in a short time. I would recommend this office for any dental needs.
Wonderful professional experience getting a crown. Dr. Smith and Teresa are the best! The front desk was accommodating and working out a payment plan and I appreciate it!
The staff was very friendly and helpful. Dr. Smith did an outstanding job covering issues and the options I had relating to a tooth with a previous root canal. I would highly recommended Southern Dental.
My wife and I have been going to Southern Dental for several years. When our previous dentist retired, I asked my daughter who she and her family used. She highly recommended Dr. D. Smith. Going to the doctor or the dentist is not on the top of my list. However, Drayton and his staff do their best to make sure you receive the finest dental care, with the least amount of discomfort. They treat you like you're part of the family. I'd give Southern Dental a Five Star rating.
Great experience! The staff was so nice and professional and explained everything that was going to happen. I felt very comfortable and relaxed. I would recommended this office to anyone who wants great service and wants to feel comfortable.
Southern Dental has an awesome dentist (Dr. Drayton Smith) and a wonderful staff. They are very professional and care about their patients. I've been going to him for over 15 years and has referred several others. If you are looking for a dentist, please check them out. You won't be disappointed.
My dentist has retired n lov my dental hygienist, she is like a sister to me, we had a wonderful friendship over a decade. Then we looking for a new dentist a bit closer to home n knowing I will need some major dental work done, closer for in case of emergency wb much more convenient. My new dentist Dr. Maddox n staff are very friendly n helpful n efficient. They get me in as soon as I requested on the same day or very soon, n they get me in n out so fast n so efficient. I thank my husband for his research reading reviews n finding me Southern Dental to make sure I will be well taken care of. Thank you Southern Dental n God bless :-) HLM
Having difficulty with a dry socket after my
Tooth extraction. Dr. Maddox and the staff
at Southern Dental were all so kind and patient
with me every time I called and came in.
I was in pain and they did everything to help
me and never rushed me and always wanted
to make sure I felt better before I left.
I adore Dr Maddox and his staff. Great work guys! I found my new dentist!
Always a great experience at Southern Dental. What a professional office that cares so much for their patients. Would recommend them to anyone!
Everyone is so kind and professional! They have Covid precautions in place & I felt totally safe there. I have never had a bad experience at Southern Dental.
Dr Maddox and his staff are outstanding. He is a pleasure to see and really cares about his patients. He is a great dentist and person love this group!
Dr. Drayton Smith is the best Dentist I have ever known. I am in my 70's and have been to several dentists and clinics in my lifetime. Several years ago, I had given up finding a Dentist I could trust but Dr. Smith did the research to find out what to do to solve my problems with a bad bridge and bone loss. Dr. Smith not only solved my problems but made my teeth look great, gums great, pain gone, and did it gently, efficiently and was very reasonable. Southern Dental took my Insurance and the staff treat me with kindness and respect as well as keep me in great shape. We now live primarily in Naples Florida and I still go out of my way to see him. I will never go to another Dentist ever!
Just moved here from Texas and was having some problems with my filling and they got in me quick and were so friendly. I definitely would recommend southern dental for all your dental needs.
Dr Drayton and staff are always so friendly to me. It feels more like going to visit friends than a dentist visit. I hadn't been to a dentist in over 8 years prior to my first appointment at Southern. Needless to say my teeth were a wreck! 8 cavities and several crowns were needed. If it wasn't for the pleasantness of the staff I don't think I wouldnt have made it through. I've been with Southern 6 years now and couldn't imagine going anywhere else.
Staff is amazing, loved Megan, my hygienist! However, was disappointed in the medical form asking if you had the experimental Covid vaccine or not. Totally inappropriate! Are you going to discriminate against those who haven’t! This is still America! We haven’t totally lost our freedom yet.
The staff are always friendly when I’m there. They treat you like family. Highly recommend Southern Dental to anyone looking for a new dentist.
Always a great group! Met Ebony for the 1st time who was excellent, great personality, & very thorough. And as always, great to see Dr Drayton Smith with the occasional joke come back. C'ya in 6 months if not sooner! Jeff F
Apparently I didn’t post this after filling it out six months ago. Always a great experience with Dr Drayton Smith along with the friendly staff.
As always this place makes you feel comfortable. No time is wasted, and staff and Doctors are very particular and professional. I continue to drive from GA for my appointments.
Dr. Smith and his hygienist were, as always,professional , and thorough. My visit was a pleasant one. They are the best!
Dr. Maddox is one the best dentist in Birmingham. Very professional, friendly and down to earth type of guy. The staff is great as well! I would recommend him and Southern Dental to anyone!
The staff is very friendly and helpful, especially Dr. Maddox who I followed from The Foundry to Southern Dental. Top notch treatment and short wait times, though a bit pricey if you don't have insurance.
It was a great experience. Megan cleaned my teeth and they felt so good. Dr Drayton Smith took the time to ask very good questions. I feel like family when I go there. Thank you guys you are soooooo wonderful!
I went in for a new crown on a cracked tooth. I was looking forward to having my new crown without the necessity of a temporary crown and returning two weeks or more later to have the permanent crown installed. I was very impressed with the process. After Dr. Maddox deadened my mouth and drilled out the tooth, Jan took laser measurements to use to build the crown. After that process, the crown was built, adjusted, and permanently placed in my mouth. All this was accomplished in less than 2 hours! Southern Dental is a great place for any dental work, and I recommend them highly.
Best managed professional experience in my world. Not only is Dr Drayton Smith delivering the very best in dental care and has the most experienced and friendly staff available, he is a PATRIOT and all American family man. Sam Branch
Overall experience was excellent! They are all very awesome and friendly! A+++++
I have been using this dentist office for years and have recommended it many times and will in the future. When Dr. James Smith retired, I started using Dr. Drayton Smith and am so pleased. Both are great guys and like father like son. I highly recommend Southern Dental
Dr. Smith truly cares about his patients and goes the extra mile to care for them. His hygienists are also great. I recommend him every chance I get.
Everyone was very nice. I liked Dr. Smith a lot. I have a dental phobia and put off seeing dentists. I plan to see him again for some more dental work ive been putting off
I have been very blessed to have Dr Smith and his group work with me. His office staff is very good at their jobs making the office run smooth. Everybody is courteous and shows a patient first type attitude.
Love Dr Smith. He is always kind and considerate and takes time for any questions you may have. He has always been there when I needed him. I have been going there for about 20 years now.
I came to Dr. Drayton Smith because I was so tired of going to dentists who suggested treatments and procedures I really didn't need. For instance, I needed veneers on two front teeth and my last dentist told me it wasn't possible to just install two - I would have to have six done. Six! When I came to Dr. Smith, he said it was crazy to make six veneers when you only needed two. He handled the two veneers and I have had them now for several years and they are great. Things such as this are why I will always use Dr. Smith as long as I need dental work.
Love Dr. Maddox and the staff at Southern Dental Family! I never looked forward to the dentist until I started going here! I always leave encouraged!
Everyone is always so nice and I enjoy going to the dentist. They do such a good job!
I have always dreaded going to the dentist my whole life. But once I started seeing Dr. Drayton Smith, that changed. My entire family now goes to Drayton and we all love him and his wonderful staff. Drayton is so friendly and outgoing and puts you at ease. I feel like he takes a conservative approach as to what needs to be done if you have issues and isn’t pushing things on you just to make a buck. My previous dentist ‘found’ things that ‘needed’ to be fixed every time I walked through the door so I very much appreciate Drayton’s honest approach to dental care and I totally trust his opinion. I even convinced an extreme dental-phobic friend of mine to see Drayton and she really likes him as well. I highly recommend Drayton and his staff. Top notch office.
I love this dental practice. They go above and beyond with the highest standards of health, safety, and care for their patients. This is reflected now more than ever with a new streamlined process to check in while the area is still navigating this pandemic.
I ALWAYS have a 5 star visit! From the front staff, back staff, and doctors they have always been very kind and caring. Dr. Drayton Smith is a super guy. Not only does he ask how I am doing, he asks how my family is doing and that means more to me than just being a patient. Drayton is serious when he needs to be, but is laid back and funny which is good for a patient like me who is always anxious and white-knuckled. He takes many breaks during a procedure to make sure I'm ok. I highly recommend this office for that friendly family atmosphere.❤
Was able to get in quickly for a chipped tooth. Staff was great, very short wait, very efficient and pleasant experience, for a dental appointment. 😁 …
Dr. Drayton Smith and his team are FABULOUS! They are extremely thorough, gentle and quick when it comes to cleanings. If you have any anxieties about having dental work done, you should go see Dr. Drayton Smith. He will make you feel extremely comfortable and talk to you as if you have been friends for years. They cater to your every need and give you some time if you need a break during a procedure. They don’t make you feel like you are a burden or some crazy person for having anxiety about dental work. Let’s face it- no one “loves” to go to the dentist. Since I started seeing Dr. Smith and his team, I really don’t mind going now.
Everyone at Southern Dental is very accommodating and focus on giving the patients a good experience.
I had a tooth problem. I called I got in quickly. I lived the dentist's assistant very nice and fast.
The dentist told me I needed a root canal Yikes. They made an appt for me and explained everything.
Again professional and fast.
Dr. MADDOX and my hygienist are very professional and nice! I don't remember my hygienist's name. I'm so sorry! She was very conversational and I like that!
Love the staff and doctors at Southern Dental! They are always friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. I trust them totally when it comes to my dental care...and I am picky!!!
I truly enjoy all my appointments at Southern Dental, both because they do great work, and because all the personnel are truly enjoyable to interact with! I can’t imagine a better experience in a dental or medical office.
This is the best dentist ever in the state of Alabama!! Everyone is genuinely nice and an expertise in their services!
Dr. Maddox is the kindest soul and a great dentist! I highly recommend this place. The staff is incredibly friendly, and they made sure my toddler was at ease. Great place!
The staff is extremely friendly and love the tv’s in each exam room! I had to wait 20 minutes past my appointment time to get into an exam room but other than that, everything was perfect. In fairness, that is the first time I have had to wait more than 5 minutes to get back to the exam room
The staff and dentists are awesome! Every time I visit I am met by happy, personable, thorough, and very competent staff. I am extremely confident that I am receiving the best care on every visit.
Dr. Maddox was great and the Southern Dental team was kind, welcoming and extremely efficient. It was a very comfortable experience.
Appointment was on schedule, Megan is very good at communicating and very thorough. I’ve been coming here over 20 years, and the service and care is the best
I’ve used Southern Dental for years. The staff is attentive and caring... always wanting your experience to be positive. I highly recommend them.
Dr. Maddox and his team did a wonderful job on my recent crown removal, root canal and crown replacement. I love the kind and competent folks at Southern Dental!
My experiences at Southern Dental have always been great. They are professional and caring and concerned about my dental care and well-being.
Went to see Dr. Drayton Smith for a cracked tooth, and walked out less than two hours later with a new crown. As usual, was a great Practioner and his staff and techs are awesome. Would highly recommend him and the team!
Excellent experience...
They all took COVID precautions - excellent dental care...
Very pleasant, caring & excellent dental staff...

Staff is incredibly nice and obviously knowledgeable about what they do. Highly recommend Southern Dental to anyone in the area
They have done my veneers which I love - but I also called with a tooth ache and they saw me immediately and sent me straight to the surgeon for a root canal, so I can’t say enough thanks for their sense of urgency!
I have moved from Birmingham since my last visit. However, the entire staff was great! On my last visit, I got the Lumineers and I still get compliments on how pretty my teeth are- 4 years later.
Extremely courteous and very professional.
Staff took outstanding care of me.
