Dr. Mary Edwards Long

No parking shuffle to get inside; this is a dentist’s office—clean, quiet, and set up for routine check-ups, fillings, crowns, and bite adjustments. A quick scan of the neighborhood shows sun-bleached storefronts and salt-stiff awnings, typical of Orange Beach’s Gulf Coast grid. The practice sits mid-block on Jackson, where traffic moves from tourist shops to empty lots.

Drop by 28626 Jackson Ave in Orange Beach, AL 36561—for fillings that head off bigger problems, for crowns sculpted to fit day-to-day pressure, for X-rays tucked onto patient charts, or even for a stitch of advice on nightguards. Across the pavement, planters flicker with plastic bougainvillea—loud colors under the Alabama coast sun. Nearby, sidewalk cracks weave between potted palms that lean against parking stops practically begging for attention.

Dial (251) 500-1025 the same second you leave work—messages tick into a routine holding pattern between appointments. New patient forms wait online, but the reception line picks up before the voicemail kicks in. Beyond the console, screens face waterfront balconies laced with rental grill smoke that rises into the evening haze.

South of the public boat launch, GPS flickers; tap the map here to lock in the route: directions. Half a mile away, Wintzell’s Oyster House dozes under a fluorescent crosswalk sign—billboards advertise beach gear, and the scent of grilled snapper drifts east every weekend.
