A Dental Practice Rooted in Sylacauga
One location. One team. Every service Sylacauga families need.
Southern Smiles of Sylacauga is a full-service dental practice located at 101 S Douglas Ave in the heart of Sylacauga, Alabama. Led by Dr. Rick Redmond, the practice serves individuals, children, and families across Sylacauga and Talladega County. All dental treatment — from routine checkups to complex restorative procedures — takes place at this single, established office. There are no satellite locations and no off-site services.
Sylacauga is a city most locals simply call “The Marble City” — and if you’ve lived here any length of time, you know exactly why. The gleaming white calcite marble that built everything from the Lincoln Memorial to the state capitol runs straight through the hills under our feet. It’s a city with deep roots, a strong sense of place, and neighbors who tend to stay. That same consistency defines the kind of dental care available here: long-term, relationship-based, and provided by a practice that genuinely knows this community.

✔ Cosmetic Dentistry
✔ IV Sedation
✔ Emergency Dentistry
✔ Restorative Dentistry
For residents of Sylacauga’s neighborhoods — whether you live off Ashton Park, over in Spring Hill, out near Lay Lake Estates, or in the established homes around Pinecrest and Forest Glen — Southern Smiles of Sylacauga offers the full spectrum of dental services without needing to make the drive up US-280 toward Birmingham or across the county line.
A Practice Serving Sylacauga’s Community
Sylacauga sits in the southern reaches of Talladega County, tucked between the Talladega National Forest to the east and the Coosa River watershed to the west. For those of us who grew up here, it’s a place measured in landmarks: the sweet smell of a Blue Bell Creamery shift change downtown, the echoing stone of the Comer Museum & Arts Center on Norton Avenue, the view out across Imerys Gantt’s Quarry where that famous white marble gets cut from the hillside in great gleaming slabs. Nobel Park draws families on weekends. Lake Howard — just about five miles northeast — pulls in boaters and anglers all season long.
Getting to Southern Smiles from most corners of Sylacauga is a short, straightforward drive. The office sits on South Douglas Avenue — one of the main north-south corridors through the city center. Whether you’re coming south on AL-21 from the Sycamore direction, heading in from the Mignon community to the southwest, or pulling in from Oak Grove Road, it’s a familiar route into town.
Sylacauga doesn’t need to send its families an hour north for quality dental care. From routine cleanings to full-mouth restorations and IV sedation, the services available here are on par with what you’d find in a major metro — with the added benefit of a team that actually knows your name.

Dental Services Available in Sylacauga, AL
All services are provided at the South Douglas Avenue office in Sylacauga, Alabama.
Family & Preventive Dentistry
Family Dentistry
Comprehensive care for patients of all ages from one convenient Sylacauga location. Annual exams, ongoing treatment, and long-term oral health monitoring for the whole family.
Children’s Dentistry
Early dental visits establish healthy habits and allow the team to monitor your child’s development from the start. A positive first experience makes a lasting difference.
Preventive Dentistry
The foundation of lasting oral health. Preventive services focus on addressing concerns before they become problems, preserving teeth for years to come.
Checkups & Cleanings
Routine exams and professional cleanings catch issues early and remove buildup that daily brushing can’t address. Most patients benefit from visits every six months.
Oral Cancer Screenings
Early detection dramatically improves outcomes. Oral cancer screenings are included as part of comprehensive exams at this Sylacauga office.
Nightguards & Mouthguards
Custom-fitted nightguards protect against teeth grinding and clenching. Athletic mouthguards safeguard teeth during contact sports for patients of all ages.
Restorative Dentistry
Restorative Dentistry
Damaged or compromised teeth can often be repaired and brought back to full function. Restorative services at this office address a wide range of structural concerns.
Dental Crowns
Crowns restore the shape, strength, and appearance of damaged teeth. They are used following root canals, to protect cracked teeth, or to cover large restorations.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
Composite resin fillings match the natural color of your teeth and bond directly to the tooth structure, addressing cavities while preserving appearance.
Root Canals
Root canal therapy removes infected pulp tissue and seals the tooth, often saving it from extraction. Modern techniques have made the procedure far more comfortable than its reputation suggests.
Tooth Extractions
When a tooth cannot be saved, extraction removes it safely. The team provides guidance on replacement options following the procedure.
Dental Bridges
A fixed bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring to adjacent natural teeth. It restores chewing function and prevents neighboring teeth from shifting.
Dentures & Partials
Full and partial dentures replace multiple missing teeth and restore basic oral function. Custom-fitted to each patient at this Sylacauga office.
Periodontal Therapy
Gum disease is one of the most common oral health conditions in adults. Periodontal therapy — including scaling and root planing — addresses infection and restores gum health.
Dental Implants
Dental Implants
A permanent tooth replacement solution that integrates with the jawbone. Implants function and feel like natural teeth, and with proper care can last a lifetime.
Mini Dental Implants
A less invasive implant option well-suited for patients with lower bone density or those stabilizing existing dentures. Evaluated and placed at the Sylacauga office.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic Dentistry
Aesthetic services that address the color, shape, alignment, and overall appearance of teeth. A range of cosmetic options are available at this Sylacauga practice.
Smile Makeovers
A comprehensive cosmetic treatment plan combining multiple procedures to fully transform the appearance of a smile. Each plan is tailored to the individual patient.
Veneers
Thin porcelain shells bonded to the front surface of teeth to address discoloration, chips, minor misalignment, or uneven shape.
Dental Bonding
Composite resin is applied and shaped directly on the tooth to repair chips, gaps, or discoloration. A minimally invasive option completed in a single visit.
Teeth Whitening
Professional whitening treatments provide more effective and consistent results than over-the-counter options. Available for patients seeking a brighter smile at this office.
Clear Aligners / Invisible Braces
A discreet orthodontic option using a series of removable clear trays to gradually reposition teeth. Suitable for teens and adults seeking straighter smiles without traditional braces.
Facial Injections
Aesthetic facial injection services offered alongside dental care, administered by a dental professional trained in facial anatomy and aesthetics.
Sedation & Emergency Dentistry
Sedation Dentistry
Multiple sedation levels are available for patients who experience dental anxiety or require more involved procedures. Options include nitrous oxide and oral sedation.
IV Sedation Dentistry
Intravenous sedation provides a deeper level of relaxation for patients with significant dental anxiety or those undergoing complex procedures. Administered and monitored by trained staff at this office.
Emergency Dentistry
Urgent dental care for toothaches, broken or knocked-out teeth, infections, and trauma. Patients in Sylacauga and surrounding Talladega County communities can contact the office directly for evaluation.

About Southern Smiles of Sylacauga
Southern Smiles of Sylacauga was built on a straightforward philosophy: provide comprehensive, quality dental care in the community where patients actually live — without requiring them to travel to a larger city for the level of service they deserve.
Under the care of Dr. Rick Redmond, the practice offers a breadth of services that range from simple preventive visits to IV sedation dentistry and full dental implant placement. That range matters in a city like Sylacauga, where many residents have historically driven to Birmingham or Anniston for specialty-adjacent procedures. The goal here has always been to keep care local, continuous, and personal.
Sylacauga has a particular kind of character — residents here tend to build long-term relationships with the people they trust. Southern Smiles of Sylacauga is built around that same model: a practice where the staff knows returning patients by name, and where the focus is on long-term oral health rather than one-off transactions.
Comprehensive dental care — from children’s first visits to complex restorations for seniors — is available in Sylacauga, Alabama, at one address, with one consistent team.
