We have some exciting news! First, our team would like to thank you for your patience and flexibility these last 15 weeks as we have had to make schedule adjustments and find creative ways to bring the same level of care you have come to expect. Your kind words, shared grief, and trust in our team mean more than we could ever communicate.

I’d also like to extend a big thank you to each of the dentists who have supported us and served our patients in the wake of Dr. McClanahan’s death. The support we have received from our local dental community has been phenomenal!

One of the first doctors to help us out--and one of our patients’ favorites over the past few weeks--has been Dr. Jimmy Gardiner. Dr. Gardiner is the owner of Singing River Dentistry and has been practicing dentistry in the Shoals for over 31 years. Our interactions with his team have been nothing but positive--full of the professionalism, kindness, and team-mindedness that we have come to expect in this office.

It is with great pleasure that I can now announce we have decided to join the Singing River Dentistry family and our entire team will continue operating here at 2461 Helton Drive! Our team is confident you will be very pleased with the quality and continuity of care you receive. We are so excited about the future and feel blessed to be joining a company that cares not only for patients but for team members as well.

Our new business hours will be Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday 8am-4:30pm (lunch 1pm-2pm) and Wednesday 8am-2pm.

We will be swapping all social media communication to our new page, www.facebook.com/SRDHelton - please give us a follow and a “like” to stay updated on any changes or emergency update in the future.

As always, if you have any questions about this process or would like to talk it over, don’t hesitate to call our office or reach out to me directly.

Dr William A. McClanahan III, DMD
February 19,1951- December 30, 2022

William "Bill" McClanahan was born February 19,1951. He met Jesus at a young 71 years of age after a brief illness. Bill grew up in Florence, Alabama. He was the son of the late Howard and Mary Evelyn McClanahan. Husband to Diane , dad to Angela Barnes and Grant McClanahan (Brianna) and Papa to Lakin Barnes , Madison, Lyla and Ian McClanahan. Bill attended Coffee High School, graduating as Valedictorian of the Class of 1969. On June 17, 1972 he married the love of his life, Diane. They just celebrated 50 years of marriage! He graduated from Auburn University , earning a Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering. Being told he was wasting his talents he then went on to The University of Alabama Dental School graduating in 1978. Dr McClanahan was very proud to be first in his class as a freshman and sophomore finishing in the top 5 of his class of '78. To say he was a smart and determined man would be an understatement.
Dr McClanahan served his community as a General Cosmetic and Family Dentist for 44 years. He took pride in his work and care of his patients. His commitment was seen through his compassionate care with all of his patients. He would go above and beyond to make everyone feel at ease when they were in his dental chair. Whether he was spraying kids with water to ease their fears or harassing his adult patients about their Auburn/Alabama and a few Tennessee rivalries everyone left with a smile ( even if it was a little crooked from the shots) ! He was dedicated to his profession and his patients. Dr McClanahan was a member of the American Dental Association, Alabama Dental Association as well as the Auburn Alumni Association. He was generous in his donations to all the local schools . Dr Mc loved his hometown and Auburn Football. Bill had a love for fast cars. Some days he would come up missing and we would find him in the parking lot checking out or test driving a patients new Corvette. He took the ladies of the office to the gun range last year for his birthday. He wanted them to shoot "the big guns". He shared his passion with those around him , like his love of all things Sci-fi. He loved a good science fiction movie, his adored battleships he built as a teenager and his Koi pond.
Dr Mc worked hard to take care of his family . He loved talking about Grant's little league baseball days at Wilson Dam. His soccer games from high school. He remembered every detail of football and basketball games that he watched while Angela cheered. He didn't forget much. Like coaching girls basketball at Highland, he loved talking about all the elbow throwing in church league. He was a proud dad and Papa.
His kindness and willingness to help others will forever impact the lives of everyone who knew him.
Please continue to pray for his family, friends, his patients and his office staff who will forever miss him!
