Longevity matters. It speaks to commitment, care, and a belief in serving others.

At UAB Dentistry, many of the people who care for our patients and support our clinics have built their careers here over decades. This year, we are celebrating team members whose service milestones reflect years of dedication completed in 2025. They are being recognized this spring as part of the university’s annual recognition cycle.

Some of our UAB Dentistry colleagues have served the university for more than 30, 35, and even 50 years. Together, these individuals represent 570 years of service to UAB and to the patients and communities we serve every day.

We are grateful for the staff and faculty who choose to build their careers here and for the experience, compassion, and continuity they bring to every visit.

A healthy smile is about more than teeth.

Oral health is closely connected to overall health, which is why prevention, regular dental visits, and early care are so important.

At the UAB School of Dentistry, students, residents, and faculty are advancing oral health every day through patient care, education, and research—helping improve health and well-being across Alabama and beyond.

Good sleep does not start when you turn off the lights.
It can start in the dental chair.

During routine dental visits, dentists look at far more than teeth. The jaw, tongue position, airway, and signs of grinding or clenching can all offer clues about how well you are sleeping. Snoring, daytime fatigue, and worn teeth can sometimes point to sleep related breathing issues that deserve attention.

If you are not waking up rested, it may be worth mentioning it at your next dental visit. Oral health and sleep health are often more connected than people realize.

At UAB Dentistry, great care starts with learning.
Today our faculty and students gathered for Scholars Symposium, an annual research event that reflects our strong tradition of discovery and leadership in dentistry. This work helps inform the care we provide and supports better outcomes for our patients.

Meet Baleigh Robertson, a fourth‑year dental student at UAB.

For Baleigh, patient care is about trust, compassion, and understanding the person behind the smile. One of her most meaningful moments in clinic came from helping a patient who felt self‑conscious about her smile regain confidence and see herself differently.

If you see Baleigh in clinic, you’ll meet a student who values relationships and takes pride in helping patients feel comfortable and confident in their care.
