Services and Treatments
Pediatric & Adolescent Dentistry: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Great place, drove 3 hours away and great service.
Fantastic experience: The staff here were kind and considerate. I think that we were treated with respect even though my child was very fearful of going to the dentist. Little by little my child is learning not to be afraid. They call my child by name and they try to calm their fears without pushing them beyond what they are ready to do or experience. They have little TVs above each chair so your child can be distracted while they are laying there. Everything is clean and on your way out you can ask for a doctor's excuse for school. UPDATE My child did so much better this time so don't give up! It will get better! They have a game area to distract them and they just updated it.
Fantastic experience: Love dr. Johnson ... he was great with my child.. made him feel safe not scared and he didn't feel a thing (tooth pulled) .the office environment was great , loved the girls there , they took care of my child as one of their own .
Fantastic experience: I was cleaned by Mrs. Michelle today. She was a lovely little lady with a very positive outlook on life and the art of dentistry. She’s the kind of lady that comes back home to her grandparents for Thanksgiving, helps the little lady with her groceries across the parking lot, picks up a nickel of the ground and sticks it in the offering plate. While she was cleaning, she ran across some calculus which brought a tear to my eye. In between removing, she educated me on the importance of flossing and even wiped my tears away. I will absolutely be back! If by chance I get to see Mrs. Michelle again, why it would just make my day.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely love our dentist! He is always so nice and in such a great mood! The staff is friendly. The office is clean and fun. Definitely recommend!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Johnson and his staff are awesome. My twins love them. We have been patients here for a long time.

Fantastic experience: This place is fabulous! So welcoming and made my two daughters feel comfortable! Such a great experience
Fantastic experience: I brought all 4 kids in today for their cleanings, the staff went above and beyond to make sure they were all comfortable. They took time to talk them thru their experience and treatment. Mrs. Courtney and Mrs.Kellie were amazing!
Fantastic experience: Everyone is so kind, positive, and helpful! My 4 year old was a little scared, and everyone there made her feel right at ease. I highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Always a quick friendly visit with everyone involved. All of the staff is friendly, personable, easy to talk with. My boys enjoy their time there.

Fantastic experience: Great visit. Dr. Johnson is as awesome as always. Pleasant and gentle technician! :)
Fantastic experience: We had driven 2 hrs. And was welcomed with a smile, only waited for a few minutes and was headed back home after our consultation 15 minutes after our appointment time. The staff was very nice.

Fantastic experience: Been using them for years! Every trip is always wonderful and worth the drive to make sure my children’s needs are met!
Fantastic experience: I have been going here for 11 years and they have always been amazing! My boys love going here (I know to a dentist office!) and everyone is always so sweet! My youngest even had the pleasure of having Dr. Sullivan herself clean his teeth yesterday, and she is the best! Love all the staff!
Fantastic experience: We had an amazing experience with our 18 month old! The staff and Dr. Lacy were amazing, very kid friendly and gentle!
Fantastic experience: Staff is always nice. I have three children who see Dr. Johnson. The 3 year old always makes the staff work for it. They still take care of her with a smile on their face. That means a lot because she is terrified of going to any doctor office; she associates any doctor with a shot lol It’s hard finding a good anything these days but when you find it, you don’t ever leave. We have at least another 15 years to go lol Keep up the good work
Fantastic experience: So friendly. Great first dentist appointment for our daughter
Fantastic experience: Wonderful visit with dentist and staff for a consultation. Very thorough and understanding staff as well as accommodating. Answered all of my questions and concerns.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic, our nurse knew how to deal with crying baby. She is very patient. I can imagine she hears children cries the whole day but still she could handle it peacefully. Thumb ups to the nurse
Fantastic experience: Great team. Great experience overall. The staff treated me so kindly and at one point I almost felt like i was just talking with other mom friends on how to go about my sons treatment plan instead of the employees. ❤️
Fantastic experience: Clean and beautiful facilities. Office staff is always friendly, welcoming and seem to enjoy being at work. The hygienist are always pleasant, gentle and all have beautiful teeth..lol!! Way to promote dental health..lol!! The The dentist that we’ve seen so far are all great.. they are informative and seem to care about and enjoy what they do. I’m happy that they’ve added the adult dentistry… and now I go there as well! Brock’s Gap Dental is now my one stop shop for the best dental care!!
Fantastic experience: Anna was our assistant today and she is absolutely wonderful! She is extremely personable, has fantastic bedside manner and is phenomenal at her job. We enjoyed our visit with her today. And Dr. Sullivan is amazing. She pulled my daughter's tooth in record time and made it quick and painless. We are huge fans of Brock's Gap Dental and thoroughly enjoy our visits with you guys. Thank you so much for loving our kids so much and making their experiences at the dentist so amazing.
Fantastic experience: Super friendly staff, very clean and kid-friendly!
Fantastic experience: Staff is great especially cleaning my toddlers teeth.
Fantastic experience: I had a phenomenal experience with this pediatric dentistry!!! Very easy to reach the clinic via phone, and easy check in, very kid friendly waiting room and staff who never pressured me or added to my stress. My kids 1 and 2 had a blast. Staff know how to talk to kids and help alleviate any fears. Dentist never pressured me to do anything but answered my questions so I could make an informed decision. Very very happy with everything!!! My kids got lots of goodies and stickers so they loved that! Ohhh and there was a wonderful coffee bar for me to partake in
Fantastic experience: We have been patients here for 5+ years! They make coming to the dentist so much fun! Staff is so friendly and the apts. are always prompt!
Fantastic experience: They were AMAZING !!!! My daughter feels so comfortable anytime she has to go in there whether it be for a cleaning or dental work. Couldn’t ask for a better place to take her !!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic experience DrDenson took care of one child while Dr Johnson and Dr Jeff ( the anesthesiologist) treated the other. The entire staff was so kind and no one was fearful or scared. Very efficient while being attentive to the children and pain free
Fantastic experience: They did a great job calming my daughter’s nerves before her teeth extraction. The procedure itself went very well too!
Fantastic experience: If I could give more than 5 I would ! Customer service 1000% !! Loved jt there
Fantastic experience: Always a great experience at Pediatric & Adolescent Dentistry!! The staff are so friendly, caring, trustworthy, and all have such positive and fun attitudes making it easier on the kiddos. They’ll treat your children like their own and take the time to get to know them on a personal level which makes the world of difference!! There’s nothing colder then walking into a place that you visit frequently and the employees not even know who you are, or recognize the fact that they know who you are, but the staff here do the complete opposite of that!! It’s comfortable. Not to mention the office has fun activities for the kiddos like gaming machines, toys, TV’s with the kiddos choice of movie during procedures and the famous treasure box!! They even give you a tshirt at your first visit…and you can never have to many tshirts…We love Pediatric & Adolescent Dentistry and highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience: My son had to have a small filling today and we were in and out within 35 minutes all together! Extremely impressed!

Fantastic experience: This practice is amazing! They have always made both of my girls feel welcome, put them at ease and explained everything before it happened.
Fantastic experience: My kids loved it! The staff is playful and friendly and the office is full of games and toys. My kids loved the tvs on the ceiling so they could relax and watch as they were being seen. They are always excited to come. Highly recommend!
Negative experience: What an awful experience in this place after so many years coming here. Never before was I treated with so much racism and disrespect. The one person who apparently things in her little mind that she is better than any other person. Looking down on people and side eyeing them because she thinks her skin color is better than anyone else and feeling entitled is just completely insane. Even more upsetting bringing it up to the 'so called person in charge' Molly. And not doing nothing about it but instead acting like it was 'ok' to be treated like that. I hate that GOOD DOCTORS LIKE DR. JOHNSON will be loosing patients because of people that act crazy towards their patients and the 'office manager Molly normalizing the situations ' I guess they forget that they need their patients to be able to stay open and continue to get a paycheck. Will definitely NOT recommend this place anymore after such a horrible experience. Places like this should realize that their employees become a part of the face and the name behind their business, so having people working for them that are careless about their patients is really not a wise choice.
Positive experience: Everyone was very kind and helpful. My boys were nervous but it went well.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful experience! Staff was friendly and the doctor was kind. Great place for me to take my kids!
Fantastic experience: I took my son to his cleaning appointment. My son is very nervous seeing a dentist. My son is also a special needs child. He was so afraid and didn't want to open his mouth. Lacey and other staff were exceptionally help full and kind. He actually left with a smile. I know I did.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful and Friendly staff, great with my 4 year old who isn’t a fan of the dentist. They needed to do a few procedures and were overall excellent with her and myself.
Fantastic experience: We had the best experience! Everyone from the nurses, dentist, and anesthesiologist!! Blair was absolutely amazing making sure not only my daughter was comfortable but she would go check on her several times and come back and let me know how it was going. She went above and beyond for my family, we will always use them in the future!
Fantastic experience: This place is wonderful! My children had dental procedures and no tears. The staff is awesome.
Fantastic experience: The best experience every time! The whole staff is so good with my daughter and always so patient!
Fantastic experience: This is the best dentist ever! I love that both kids are cleaned at the same time, reducing our time in office. The hygienists are amazing, thorough, gentle, and caring. Dr. Johnson makes the experience fun. You can feel how much he loves his job and his patients. Always on time and a quick visit. The only complaint from my kids is that they don’t get enough time to play all the arcade games in the waiting room. I honestly don’t think 5 stars is enough to convey what a perfect experience this has been, consistently, for over a decade! Thank you all for making going to the dentist something my kids look forward to!
Fantastic experience: Excellent service staff is polite and always with a smile. The Doctor always with a good attitude.
Fantastic experience: Kelly is so wonderful with my son. He was always scared of the dentist and she makes him so comfortable. She is very personable and caring to our family.
Fantastic experience: 10/10 services Front back and everyone in between. environment cleanliness most importantly the Dr himself was great!!! wonderful practice so close home..
Fantastic experience: Amazing people! Made my little girl very comfortable! Explained everything very well, will go back again.
Fantastic experience: All the girls (can’t remember their names) were so sweet with my kiddos. They kept them calm and involved. They made it a positive first time experience.
Fantastic experience: I took my 11 week old to have his lip tie revised today. Dr. Johnson and his staff were absolutely amazing. Anna and Blair made sure my sweet boy was well taken care of. I could not recommend them enough. I wish I could give them 100 stars! Please go see them if your baby has a lip and/or tongue tie. They will take such amazing care of them.
Fantastic experience: Great visit as always! The staff here has always been wonderful with all four of our kids. Especially with our younger two kids who have special needs! I would highly recommend Pediatric & Adolescent Dentistry for any family.
Fantastic experience: We always have the best experience! My daughter is 24 and autistic and she has really bad anxiety when it comes to going to a Dr! They always go over and beyond for her everytime and it makes my heart happy! Thank you!!
Fantastic experience: Excellent work.. They are very passionate with everything they do… I have No regrets..
Fantastic experience: The care we received was amazing!! I highly recommend this office
Fantastic experience: 10/10 recommend! Not only were they super efficient, I’m talking in and out in 30 minutes, but so very kind and amazing with my girls. Out hygienist was Sam and she was great!!
Fantastic experience: I brought my seven year old in and his visit was awesome. Kelvin explained everything to him step by step. This helped my son to be calm with no issues. I love how patient and helpful.
Negative experience: My kids have been going there for over 7 years and we were booted out without any notification... this is devastating... and very unprofessional.
Fantastic experience: They were absolutely AMAZING!! I called and they were able to get us in for a consult the same day we were referred. We drove from Opelika and Blair was so helpful through the whole process and they were so reassuring! Would highly recommend!!
Fantastic experience: That was a fantastic visit for my kids! Jett was extremely nervous to start with but by the end of the visit he was all smiles!
Fantastic experience: The staff was very nice especially the young lady worked on my son
Fantastic experience: We loved our experience at the dentist today! We have been to their sister office in Chilton county, with recently moving up closer to Hoover we decided to transfer here. The doctors and staff are all so nice, welcoming, and are all skilled with making my littles feel safe and happy while in the chair. The hygienists and doctors were all great with sharing the progress and results of each child’s care. They were informative with what’s to come in the future for each kiddo. Just an all around great experience. The clinic is clean and fresh. There are games for kids to play and tvs for them to watch while waiting. Honestly it was a 5 star experience.
Fantastic experience: My son is autistic and I’m always nervous about taking him to the dentist because it’s a fight just brushing his teeth at home. The staff is always very patient and kind with him. I truly appreciate them
Fantastic experience: Super personable dentist. They were able to get us in quickly for an issue we were having and resolved the day of. Love this practice
Fantastic experience: Fantastic! Absolutely a wonderful experience all around. Would definitely recommend. Everyone was so nice from the receptionist, to the hygienists, to the dentist. A wonderful group of people who clearly enjoy what they do and put my kids at ease. So thankful for them
Fantastic experience: Amazing hospitality. My children are looking forward to their next visit!!! Thank you Staff. The Dr was very laid back and sweet
Fantastic experience: I text a picture to the office and was able to get in same day! I appreciate the urgency since my child was hurting! I love this office! Dr. Johnson was patient and Molly and Anna was so helpful with calming my 5 yr old for his first in office crown!
Fantastic experience: We always have a great visit here. Everyone on the staff is great.
Fantastic experience: Our visit was awesome! We loved our interaction with the dental hygienist today. Both ladies were sweet and attentive! Lauren I think was the hygienist name & she went above and beyond thanks! The Clabough’s
Fantastic experience: I was so nervous to bring our 2 yr old to her first dentist appointment but it turned out wonderful. They were so kind and playful, it was the most stress-free visit I could imagine. We highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: The staff are always so helpful and professional. So thankful to have a great team to take care of my kids.
Fantastic experience: 10/10 recommend! They were so kind and informative during our visit. They made my son feel so comfortable and safe during his appointment. Highly recommend
Fantastic experience: The only dentist my son isn’t afraid of is here, and we always go there happily. The doctors and staff are so nice!
Fantastic experience: My son was born with a tongue and lip tie. Our pediatrician gave us a referral to ENT to have it fixed, but they didn’t want to do the procedure till 4 months old. So I looked, and I was able to get him seen here in less than a week. Since the ties affect his eating I wanted it done sooner rather than later to help with feeds, and babies tend to tolerate pain better younger. The staff and dr were so nice. We were in and out in no time. They explained what they were doing well. He didn’t even cry after the procedure. I’m so glad we went here. They were so great! Def recommend here.
Fantastic experience: My son came in today with quite a few issues but they all were nice & polite. They didn’t once make us feel bad that time had gotten away from me. They said it ok it will be a process but we will get him fixed & I truly appreciated that as a mom more than I can express in words.
Negative experience: We normally have a great experience here, but now we have a child that has "graduated" to the adult clinic. We drive over an hr to see Dr. Johnson and they have been so helpful trying to fit as much in as possible at a visit. Today our son saw an adult dentist. I had asked when making the appt if we could get all 3 cavities done in one trip and was told that since they had done it last time, it should be fine. They only did 1! :( I suppose it was an issue with the dentist, because scheduling was great on the phone. Going for littles - a great place! For adults, a big disappointment.
Thank you for the 5-stars! We appreciate your feedback!
Fantastic experience: We have been taking our kids there for 16 years! The staff consistently exhibits great efficiency, compassion, and helpfulness. Our kids feel at ease during every visit, making it a positive experience overall. Highly recommended for families seeking a pediatric dentist office with top-notch dental care.
Fantastic experience: This is seriously the best pediatric dentist ever. They do SUCH a good job in every phase- checking in is easy, all the desk staff are kind. The waiting room is clean with plenty of things to entertain kids, and my wait is usually around 5 minutes, very prompt, which is wonderful with kids. Once you're back there, the staff is SO kind and patient with the kids. I have a 4 and 2 year old, and they make my kids so comfortable and happy. We've seen Kelli a few times and she goes out of her way to ease the nerves of my kids. The Drs are helpful and quick as well. The environment is colorful and clean. I couldn't recommend this place enough!
