Dr. Alexis Pugh is a board-certified orthodontist, Birmingham native, and proud Auburn University alum (War Eagle!). After completing her undergraduate studies at Auburn, she attended the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Dentistry, where she graduated first in her class. During her time at UMKC, Dr. Pugh was honored with the prestigious Dean’s Medalist Award — an award given to just one graduating student, selected by the Dean, recognizing the highest level of excellence across academic achievement, leadership, and service.

Following dental school, Dr. Pugh pursued her passion for orthodontics at the University of Texas at Houston, earning her master’s degree and advanced orthodontic training. She is a diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics, a distinction earned by only a select group of orthodontists who have completed rigorous clinical and written examinations demonstrating the highest standard of orthodontic care.

Dr. Pugh feels blessed to serve the Birmingham community she’s always called home. She lives in Hoover with her husband, Trey, and their two daughters, Brighton and Lucy, who keep her on her toes and laughing every day. When she’s not designing beautiful, confident smiles, Dr. Pugh enjoys staying active with workouts on her Peloton, trying out new recipes in the kitchen, and sneaking off to the beach with her family whenever she can.
