Dental Check-Ups
Our comprehensive dental exams include cleaning, oral cancer screening, and x-rays to maintain optimal oral health. Our hygienists and Dr. Sullens assess teeth, gums, and soft tissues to prevent and address issues early. This foundational service ensures long-term dental wellness for patients of all ages.
Same Day Crowns
Using CEREC technology, we restore damaged teeth in one visit with durable, natural-colored ceramic crowns. This eliminates multiple appointments, offering convenience without compromising quality. Over 28 million CEREC restorations worldwide validate its reliability and effectiveness.
Oral Conscious Sedation
We provide oral sedation to help anxious patients receive necessary care comfortably. An evaluation ensures safety, followed by personalized protocols to alleviate fear and ensure a stress-free experience. This service enables patients to maintain oral health without trauma.
Dental Implants
Implants replace missing teeth with stable, natural-feeling solutions anchored to the jawbone. Dr. Sullens evaluates candidacy to ensure healthy gums and adequate bone support. This service restores function and aesthetics, mimicking natural tooth roots for lasting results.
Invisalign
Invisalign straightens teeth discreetly using custom clear aligners. We assess suitability, avoiding traditional braces for minor corrections. Patients receive progress checks every few weeks, ensuring gradual, predictable alignment tailored to individual needs.

Dr Sullens has been my dentist since I was in college. He preserves my smile. However, there is something more important. The entire staff from the door to the techs are amazing. They answered any questions I had professionally and completely. They make sure we are on the same page. When I'm nervous if something has to be done; they all make sure I'm not only calm but I know they are right there.

I remember I was getting laid off; he made sure I got everything I needed done before I lost coverage. I truly cannot express how wonderful they all are. It is really a familial atmosphere. No matter where I go Cahaba Dental are the ONLY ones handling my smile. You only get ONE smile and ONE set of teeth - take care of them wisely.

Quick and painless. Shannon was awesome! I was a brand new patient and was in and out in less than 30 minutes. Plus the location is ideal for me. If you need to make an appointment I would recommend Cahaba Dental.

I absolutely loved this office. Everyone was nice and professional. The check in was easy. The equipment was the most up to date and only took a few minutes for the xrays. I was in and out. I will definitely recommend this office to family and friends.

Tiffany Mundi, RDH has been taking care of me for several years now. As in the past, her job performance is outstanding. Whereas most people hate to go to the dentist, it is just the opposite at Cahaba Dental. Tiffany and the rest of the staff make going to the dentist pleasurable. From reception desk to Dr. Sullens, the entire staff is professional, personable, and pleasant to be around. The practice is clean and well maintained. Truly a first-rate operation using all the latest technology available. Thank you Dr. Sullens, Tiffany and staff for all your expert care!

I had dental insurance for more than 30 years from my employer. Even with insurance, I was always paying $100 - $300 out of pocket for any procedures except cleaning. Crowns took a week (after the temporary fell out at least once) and an overall experience was less than good. No that I retired and spending my own money, I went looking for a new dentist. Cahaba Dental has been great so far and pricing is transparent - and not that much more than I was paying WITH insurance. Same day crowns, up-to-date equipment, nice staff, GREAT hygienist, and timely appointments - what's not to like? Cahaba Dental Trussville is my dentist from now on!

This is a review for the Centreville office of Cahaba Dental. I love going there. The people are so friendly and caring. I am so thankful we have this office in Centreville. I have used them as long as they have been here and would never go anywhere else. Thank you Cahaba Dental.

This review is for the office in Centreville, AL. They were all very nice and professional and the visit was good. They explained what I needed done and how much it would be. Their prices are comparable to the dentist I was going to although I was hoping for it to be cheaper. Dr. Adams did a great job. In fact, this is the first dental visit I can recall that I never felt the needle being stuck into my gums. I already made my next appointment and am looking forward to having all my dental care done here.
