About Spooner & Mills Cosmetic and General Dentistry

Spooner & Mills Cosmetic and General Dentistry sits on Montgomery Highway in southern Birmingham, in the corridor between Vestavia Hills and Hoover where the residential and commercial blocks mix along the major south-metro artery. The practice combines cosmetic and general dentistry under one office — routine cleanings and fillings alongside aesthetic services like veneers, whitening, and cosmetic restorative work for the patient base that values both functional and visible-tooth quality.

Cavity work covers the routine general-dentistry range. The team uses tooth-colored composite as the default material, with single-surface and multi-surface fillings, replacement work when older restorations have failed, and the call between filling and crown when more tooth structure has been lost. Beyond fillings, services include cleanings and exams, root canals, crowns and bridges, extractions, gum-disease screening, and the cosmetic side — porcelain veneers, in-office and at-home whitening, and aesthetic crowns. They'll discuss whether front-tooth work should combine the structural fix with cosmetic improvement when both are clinically reasonable on the same tooth.

If you've been postponing front-tooth work because you weren't sure whether to combine the structural fix with cosmetic improvement, a practice that handles both lets you plan it as one project.

Patients searching for dentist accepting new patients in Birmingham, AL, family dentist in Birmingham, or general dentistry in Birmingham, AL who live in Vestavia Hills, Hoover, or south Birmingham often choose practices that combine general and cosmetic services for the planning convenience. Spooner & Mills fits that combined-services model. The new-patient exam covers comprehensive X-rays, periodontal screening, and a treatment-plan walkthrough before any restorative or cosmetic work is scheduled. For south metro residents picking a regular dental practice that handles both routine and aesthetic work, this Montgomery Highway office is a reasonable first appointment. Insurance acceptance, hours, and current new-patient availability shift across the year, so a phone call before booking is the most reliable way to confirm what's in-network and which slots open up this week. If you've had recent medical changes — new medications, recent surgery, ongoing conditions — flagging them at intake matters more than patients usually expect, since several common drugs interact with routine dental work.

Spooner & Mills Cosmetic and General Dentistry is a dental practice on Montgomery Highway in Birmingham, Alabama, offering cosmetic dentistry and root canal treatment among its listed services.

Is cosmetic dental work covered by insurance?
Generally not. Dental plans are built around treatment that is medically necessary, and work carried out purely to change appearance sits outside that. Where a treatment also restores function, some element may be covered, which is worth clarifying case by case.
What is the difference between veneers and bonding?
Bonding shapes composite resin directly onto the tooth in a single visit and is more easily repaired. Veneers are thin custom-made shells fitted over the front of the tooth, usually requiring some enamel to be removed, and they tend to last longer and resist staining better.
How many appointments does root canal treatment take?
It can sometimes be completed in one visit, though more complex teeth with several canals may need two. Which applies depends on the tooth involved and whether there is active infection to settle first.

Dr. Mills and the team did a great job. I cracked a tooth, called them mid morning, they made a spot to fit me in that afternoon. They were able to repair my tooth and out the door within the hour. Highly satisfied.

My experience with Spooner and Mills was overwhelmingly positive. I met Dr Mills for the first time today and was impressed. She was pleasant, thorough, and did a great job explaining what I needed to fix a long-standing problem and why to expect in the future. Everyone else was nice as well as very professional. It makes going to the dentist a pleasure.

I had a wonderful experience seeing Dr. Mills and her staff for the first time as a new patient a few weeks ago. Every person involved in my care was warm, extremely personable, & professional. Dr Mills was no exception. She took her time explaining everything in detail after her full exam. She made me feel extremely comfortable even though I usually am on edge when going to the dentist. We discussed a plan for my dental hygiene and dental work, she gave her recommendations, and she also listened to my concerns. Every aspect of my care was discussed professionally and on a level I could understand. I left feeling confident in my next steps to take care of my dental health and everything was addressed in a timely visit. I’m so thankful they were recommended by a friend of mine and I will definitely be going back consistently.

I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Spooner and the care I received. From the very beginning it was clear that she took the time to consider every option and never rushed into anything. Her work is incredibly precise, thoughtful, and done with a lot of attention to detail. On top of that, her assistant Rhonda and the entire front desk staff were very kind and invested in making sure I felt comfortable with everything done. This experience exceeded my expectations.
