Dr Cheri W. Cunningham

Dr. Cheri W. Cunningham grew up in Sylacauga and received her undergraduate degree in Biology from the University of Alabama at Birmingham where she graduated Summa Cum Laude with Honors in Biology Research. She continued her education by training at the UAB School of Dentistry. She became a Doctor of Dental Medicine in 2004 and founded her practice the same year. She remained active with her university by serving on the UAB National Alumni Society Board from 2004-2007, and the Junior Alumni Board from 2011-2013. Dr. Cunningham currently serves on the Gardendale High School Health Science and Sports Medicine Advisory Council. She enjoys exposing current students to the exciting, ever-changing field of dentistry. Dr. Cunningham met her husband, Jimbo, in college and after graduation, they settled in the Gardendale area. They have three beautiful children: Clayton, Caroline and Callie Brown. They are very involved in Gardendale First Baptist Church as well as in their community. Avid sports fans, Dr. C and her crew can be seen participating in and supporting local sports programs within the community and at many of our local schools. They also have a deep love for all things Disney and love to visit Walt Disney World where Dr. Cunningham can be found riding Big Thunder Railroad and enjoying a Mickey Ice Cream Bar! Dr. Cunningham’s mission is simply to care for patients’ oral health in the same way she would wish to be cared for herself. She strives to show Christ’s love daily through her commitment to providing the most current dental care with understanding and compassion for each patient’s needs and concerns. Cheri enjoys participating in mission trips with members of her dental team and church, providing care to those who would otherwise have no access to dental care. After 5 trips, the country of Haiti holds a special place in her heart and she hopes one day to have the opportunity to serve there again.
