Vital Smiles Dental & Orthodontics, a leader in accessible, affordable oral health care in Alabama, today announced the opening of a new office in Decatur.

Located at 809 Beltline Road SW, just off Spring Avenue and adjacent to a Planet Fitness, Walmart and Staples, this is the seventh Vital Smiles location in Alabama.

“Our new office is ideally situated to offer convenient access to residents of Morgan and Limestone counties and is designed to serve patients of all ages,” said Dr. John Rose, Clinical Director for Vital Smiles. “We look forward to welcoming families looking for high-quality, affordable oral healthcare options.”

The new 9,000-square-foot office is a comprehensive “Dental Home” with general dentistry, pediatric dentistry, orthodontics, oral surgery, and oral hygiene services. It includes six treatment rooms, an eight-station oral hygiene bay, a six-station ortho bay, two X-ray rooms and a state-of-the art panoramic X-ray machine.

“We are proud to offer all patients complete dental care, all under one roof,” said Dr. Mike VanBeukering, Managing Dentist at the new Decatur office. “That includes patients covered by Medicaid and ALL Kids, Alabama’s comprehensive health care coverage program for children under age 19. The office also accepts other payment options, including most private insurance plans.”

An affiliate of Western Dental, one of the nation’s leaders in oral health and orthodontic care, Vital Smiles has installed state of the art equipment and implemented enhanced safety protocols in all of its offices, consistent with public health and dental association guidelines, to help prevent coronavirus transmission. “Our goal is to ensure the safety of patients, doctors and staff,” said Dr. VanBeukering.

The office is open Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Friday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. The office is closed on weekends.
