Dental Examination
X-rays
I started in the dental field in 1983, have a Dental Assisting degree, am certified in dental X-rays, and joined the practice in 1985. We have a great environment here, as Dr. Cottingham takes great care of her staff and her patients. Likewise, our team is amazing and we help one another so we can give you the best experience and deliver your best new smile!

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Most children lose all their baby teeth by age 13, and by the end of their teen years, the jaw bones will harden and stop growing. Orthodontic procedures for adults often take more time and can involve tooth extraction or oral surgery. Receiving early orthodontic treatment as a child can help prevent the need for orthodontics as an adult, leaving little to no chance of extraction or surgery in the future.
Jaw Surgery
The main difference between treating adults and children or teens is that the jawbones of younger patients are still developing. For adults, these bones have stopped growing, which may make orthognathic surgery possible to align the jawbones. Other differences include...
Tooth Extractions

Orthodontics
Dr. Cottingham enjoys getting to know and helping all the wonderful families who visit her office. It was a childhood dream that led her to orthodontics and it shows in the way she strives to make every minute of the day enjoyable for her patients and staff with her warm and fun-loving personality. The results achieved through the orthodontic process are truly amazing, especially when it restores a person's confidence in his/her smile. Dr. Cottingham is truly thankful to have one of the most rewarding jobs in the world, and she shares that enthusiasm and spirit with everyone she meets.
Invisalign Orthodontics
The iTero Element Scanner will give us a 3D model of your mouth that we can use with all orthodontic services, including the Invisalign Outcome Simulator, to show you what your new smile might look like.
Braces
Clear aligners are an effective alternative to traditional braces, because they use a system of clear, removable trays used to straighten teeth. Each aligner is custom-made to fit over your teeth and is designed to gradually move teeth into their proper position. Using clear aligners for orthodontic treatment is not for everyone. The best way to find out if clear aligners are the right option for you is to schedule a consultation with your orthodontist.

General Dentistry
A strong foundation of education and professional experience is important to instill the confidence and trust of our patients. Originally a native of Alabama, Dr. Cottingham received her bachelor's degree from Troy University, in Troy, Alabama. She achieved her doctor of dental medicine (D.M.D.) degree from the University of Alabama at Birmingham, and practiced general dentistry for one year at the Veterans' Administration hospitals in Tuscaloosa and Birmingham, Alabama.
