Real Care. Right Here in Bluff Park

At Bluff Park Dental, you’ll find modern dental care that still feels personal. For over 50 years, this practice has been part of the Bluff Park neighborhood, and we’re proud to carry that legacy forward with the latest technology and a team that truly cares.

A Local Legacy, Reimagined

Bluff Park Dental has been a part of this community for over five decades, starting with the dedicated care of Dr. Richard H. Real, Jr., a lifelong Bluff Park resident who served local families for over 50 years. Dr. Real built a reputation for honest, personal care and became a trusted name in Hoover dentistry.

Today, Dr. Andrew Clingan proudly continues that tradition. While we've introduced modern tools and updated our space, we’ve stayed true to the values Dr. Real upheld: kindness, consistency, and treating every patient like family.

At Bluff Park Dental, your care is shaped by our history—but always focused on your future.

Meet Our Doctor

We treat every patient like we would a friend or family member—because your experience matters just as much as the outcome.

What We Believe

You deserve a dental office that treats you like a person—not a chart or a checklist. That means listening without rushing, explaining your options in plain language, and offering care that fits your needs, lifestyle, and budget. We don’t believe in upselling or pressure—just honest, supportive treatment from a team that’s on your side. Whether you’re here for a quick cleaning or something more involved, we want you to feel seen, heard, and cared for every step of the way.

Here When You Need Us

We’re not part of a big chain, and we’re not focused on numbers—we’re focused on people. Our care is personal because we take the time to learn what matters to you. That means remembering your name, following up after treatment, and making sure you leave with clear answers and real peace of mind.

How We Make It Easier

We’ve built our practice around what patients actually need—convenience, honesty, and respect.

  • Early appointments starting at 7:30 AM – Get in before work or school
  • Same-day care for emergencies – Relief when it matters most
  • Clear pricing and flexible payment options – No guesswork, no surprises
  • Comfort-focused tools – Faster, easier, and more relaxed visits
  • In-house membership plans – A smart option for patients without insurance

Every detail—from how we schedule to how we explain treatment—is designed to make your visit simpler and less stressful.
