James E. LeCroy III, D.M.D

When it comes to the overall health of our smiles, we all want the best. The best care. The best service. The best results. James LeCroy DMD is a unique kind of dentist. He has a gentle approach, easing any concerns you might have about treatment. He listens and tailors individual treatment based on your particular needs.

Dr. LeCroy is highly-committed to staying up to date on new techniques and technologies. He started his education at University of Alabama where he majored in chemistry. He received his doctorate of dental medicine from UAB School of Dentistry. He furthered his dental training with a one year general practice residency at the VA Hospital in Birmingham, Alabama. During this one year residency, Dr LeCroy completed training in the surgical placement of dental implants, the treatment of medically compromised patients, and the restorative aspects of implant crown and bridge. He is a member of the American Dental Association, Academy of General Dentistry, and the Birmingham District Dental Society.

Dr. LeCroy grew up in Vestavia Hills. He married his wife, Callyn, in the fall of 2014. They met while in dental school at UAB and have two daughters. Outside the office, he enjoys exercising, playing golf, hiking, and being on the lake.
