Meet the Team in Huntsville at Doug Booth, D.D.S.

Dr. Doug Booth, D.D.S.

Dentist

Since 1985, Dr. Doug Booth has been helping patients feel more confident about their smiles and more comfortable in the dental chair. He earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery from the University of Tennessee Center for the Health Sciences after completing a Bachelor of Science in Biology at Lambuth College. In 1991, he opened his own practice with a simple goal: create a space where patient comfort and genuine care come first.

Dr. Booth is happiest when he sees a patient light up, especially someone who’s finally proud of their smile or no longer anxious about visiting the dentist. Whether he's easing a patient’s fears or celebrating a treatment milestone, he values every moment of connection. He also loves working with a team that shares his patient-first philosophy and makes coming to the office every day feel like second nature.

His love of science and desire to work hands-on with people drew him to dentistry. That same creativity and curiosity extend into his personal life; when he’s not at the office, you might find him fishing, playing tennis, reading, painting, or building something unique in his woodshop.

If life had taken a different path, Dr. Booth might have chased dreams of being a rock star, an NBA standout, or a bestselling author. While the stage, court, and writing desk had their appeal, he’s grateful that dentistry became his calling, and so are his patients.

Meredith

Registered Dental Hygienist and Dental Assistant

Meredith wears two hats at Dr. Booth’s practice, both as a dental hygienist and a dental assistant, and she’s spent the last 15 years helping patients feel relaxed, comfortable, and truly cared for. She understands that the dental chair can be an intimidating place for some, so she focuses on making every visit a calm and positive experience.

Her interest in dentistry was sparked in 2001, thanks to her mother-in-law’s encouragement and her fascination with teeth. Meredith went on to complete her training at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), and she hasn’t looked back since.

What she loves most about her work is seeing patients feel more at ease and knowing she played a part in that transformation. She also values the strong bonds she's formed with her coworkers and patients over the years, and she finds joy in the everyday moments that make her job meaningful.

Meredith enjoys live music and arranging floral bouquets when she isn’t working. And here’s a fun fact: she shares her birthday with Elvis Presley and David Bowie!

Meredith brings heart, creativity, and a calming presence to the office, helping patients leave with healthier smiles and a little more peace of mind.
