Who we are
Most dental practices lead with the finished product — the gleaming smile, the dramatic before-and-after. Pearly White Dentistry leads with the foundation that makes the result last. Health first. Beautiful always.
The Pearly White Dentistry team.
Dr. Brittany Henry, D.D.S.
“Form follows function, and a beautiful smile is only as beautiful as it is healthy.”
— Dr. Brittany Henry, D.D.S.
Dr. Henry completed her undergraduate degree at Nebraska Wesleyan University — a B.S. in Biology with minors in Chemistry and Psychology — and earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery from Creighton University School of Dentistry. Her continuing education spans restorative, cosmetic, and preventive dentistry, Invisalign and clear aligner therapy, Botox and neurotoxins, and dermal fillers. She is a member of the American Dental Association, Alabama Dental Association, American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, and Birmingham District Dental Society.
Outside the office, Dr. Henry is married to Dr. R. Gordon Henry, D.D.S. — also a dentist — and they have two sons. They are members of St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church.
Four pillars
Pillar 01
Transparency isn’t a value on a wall — it’s a clinical method. Technology is used not to impress, but to include you in your own diagnosis so that trust is built through shared understanding rather than blind authority.
In Dr. Brittany’s own words:
“It helps to be able to show each patient what I’m seeing during their exam.”
— Dr. Brittany Henry, D.D.S.
Pillar 02
Beauty is never the starting point — it’s the outcome of health done right. Every cosmetic decision begins with function, airway, bite mechanics, and whole-body wellness. We reject the industry pattern of leading with smile transformations and instead lead with the foundation that makes a beautiful result last.
Pillar 03
You are an intelligent adult and a partner in your own care — never talked down to, never pressured, and never given a recommendation the doctor doesn’t fully believe in. Honesty includes the willingness to say “I don’t know yet” and to frame treatment in terms of predictability rather than fear.
Pillar 04
Our standard is demonstrated, not announced. Advanced technology, extensive continuing education, and professional affiliations serve as proof of philosophy — not marketing features. Pearly White Dentistry is one of just two certified GBT Airflow providers in the entire state of Alabama, and we’d rather you notice the experience than hear about it.
