Dr. Shelton P. Mims, DMD

Endodontics deals with the delicate inner workings of teeth—root canals, dental trauma, and infections that go beyond general dentistry. Specialists in this field handle cases where the pulp or nerve of a tooth is compromised, often saving teeth that might otherwise require extraction. Dr. Shelton P. Mims, DMD operates within this niche, offering targeted care for issues that standard dental practices may refer out.

The practice is situated at 4101 Balmoral Dr SW Suite B, Huntsville, AL 35801, a stretch of the city where medical offices and quiet professional buildings line the road. Endodontic treatment here covers the expected spectrum: diagnostic evaluations, root canal therapy, and retreatment for persistent or recurring problems. Procedures like apicoectomies—where the tip of a tooth’s root is removed—are also part of the scope, addressing complications that can’t be resolved through conventional means.

Scheduling an initial consultation or follow-up is done by calling (256) 880-6556, which connects directly to the office. For those mapping out the visit, directions place the suite just off Memorial Parkway, in a cluster of low-rise medical buildings. The focus remains on precise, often last-resort dental interventions—no frills, just the technical work of preserving natural teeth.
