Darlene Guttridge, DDS

Dr. Darlene Guttridge is committed to providing compassionate, high-quality dental care to the North Alabama community. Known for her gentle approach and dedication to patient comfort, she takes pride in building lasting relationships with the families she serves.

Originally from Mesa, Arizona, Dr. Guttridge earned her degree in biomedical engineering from Arizona State University. She then pursued her passion for dentistry at the University of Michigan School of Dentistry, which was ranked #1 in the United States and #2 in the world for dentistry in the QS World University Rankings (2024). Dr. Guttridge graduated in the top 10% of her class—an achievement that reflects both her skill and dedication.

After deciding Michigan's winters weren’t quite the right fit, she and her husband, Ryan, relocated to Alabama to be closer to family. They now call Scottsboro home, where they are raising their two daughters and enjoy being active members of the community.

Dr. Guttridge looks forward to welcoming you and your family to Parks Avenue Dental, where your care, comfort, and confidence are always the top priority.
