General Dentistry

Proactive Oral Healthcare Designed Around You and Your Family

At Maitre & Crabtree Dental Group, we believe healthy, lifelong smiles start with compassionate, personalized general dentistry. Serving Mobile, Alabama, and surrounding Gulf Coast communities since 1968, our practice combines decades of trusted local care with modern dental technology.

Unlike high-volume corporate practices, we prioritize genuine relationships. When you visit our office on South University Blvd, you aren’t just a chart number—you sit down directly with Dr. G. Michael Maitre Jr., Dr. Forrest G. Crabtree, or Dr. Megan Jackson to discuss your health, goals, and customized treatment options.

Routine dental care is the single best investment you can make in your overall health. Our general dentistry services focus on early detection, painless prevention, and keeping your natural teeth strong for a lifetime.
