I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Pamela Edwards practice. I came in with a dental emergency and they were able to see me immediately, which I truly appreciated! From start to finish, everyone in the office was very kind and professional. The care I received was excellent, and they made a stressful situation much easier to handle. I would highly recommend their office to anyone in need of dental care.

While vacationing at Gulf Shores, I began experiencing significant tooth pain. I called for an appointment and got in quickly. Dr. Mary Long determined I had a cracked tooth. She provided immediate treatment and was able to provide a crown within 3 days. The staff was caring and efficient. From the receptionist to the hygentists to Dr. Long, the care was exceptional. I would highly recommend this office to anyone looking!

Thank you very much for seeing me for my emergency tooth issue. You and your staff were outstanding and saved our family vacation. My hometown D.M.D. advised me tooth #15 had a problem but you found the crack in tooth #14 and right you were! The issue was resolved.

Caitlin Horney
Dr. Edwards Dentistry is a reminder to the gulf coast that great people and great businesses are still out there. They were able to return my calls during non business hours and have always been the most kind and welcoming to me and my brother!
Response from the owner:Thank you Caitlyn for the thoughtful and kind 5-star review of our dental family at Dr. Pamela Edwards Dentistry! Dr. Edwards has served our community for almost 40 years and hopes her daughter, Dr. Mary, can follow in her footsteps. As a family owned and operated business, nothing makes the doctors, their spouses (who also work in the office part time) and the staff feel appreciated more than a shoutout like this. You and your brother are always welcome:) Thank you Caitlyn and should you need anything, do not hesitate to text or call (251) 500-1025.

I knocked out my front tooth on a jobsite and my self confidence was at an all time low. As a contractor and business owner presentation and appearance is everything because I deal with lots of customers. Dr. Pamela and her team were so great and gave me my smile and confidence back. ❤️ Thank you from The Gann’s Island Repair and Construction LLC team!!
