Meet Dr. Chance D. McLemore, DMD

In this video, Dr. Chance McLemore shares his personal background, professional experience, and commitment to providing comfortable, stress-free dental care for the community. To experience personalized dental care from a trusted local provider, schedule a consultation at Riviera Dental Care today.

I’m Dr. Chance McLemore, and I’ve been with Riviera Dental Care for 20 years. I completed my undergraduate studies at Auburn University and earned my dental degree at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. After graduation, I moved to Foley, Alabama, where I started my practice and have been serving the community ever since.

I’m married to my wife, Kari, and we have two young daughters. Having lived in Florida, Georgia, and Mississippi, I always wanted to settle in a coastal environment, and Baldwin County was the perfect fit for my family. We love being part of this community and giving back in meaningful ways.

I always knew I wanted to work in healthcare and help people. With a family background in public service, I was drawn to a career where I could make a difference in people’s lives. Many people have dental anxiety due to past experiences, and one of my goals has always been to change that perception. With modern advancements, new technologies, and improved treatment options, we strive to make dental care comfortable and stress-free for our patients.

Beyond dentistry, I believe in giving back. We actively support local charities and veteran services because we don’t just want to be in the community—we want to be part of it. Serving others, both in and out of the office, is what drives us every day. I look forward to welcoming you to Riviera Dental Care and helping you achieve a healthy, confident smile.

5 Ways Permanent Teeth Give Your Smile a Permanent Boost

There are several ways to restore your smile after tooth loss. The difference in these methods, however, typically lies in their stability and permanence.
