WHY CHOOSE DENTAL FAITH
A Nashville Preventive Dentist Who Puts Your Health First
We take time to understand your oral health history and build a care plan that makes sense for your life. No rushed appointments. No unnecessary add-ons.
We Catch Problems Early – Our team uses digital X-rays and up to date imaging to spot decay, bone loss, and other issues before they become serious. Finding a problem early almost always means a simpler and less costly fix.
Care for the Whole Family – We see patients of all ages, from young children getting their first cleaning to adults managing long-term oral health. Everyone gets the same level of attention.
Personalized Care Plans – Not every patient needs the same schedule. We look at your risk factors, your history, and your goals before recommending how often you should come in.
Honest Recommendations – We tell you what your teeth actually need. If your mouth is healthy, we say so. We do not recommend treatment just to fill a schedule.

Dental Extraction in Nashville
A tooth that is badly infected, broken, or damaged can cause serious pain. Sometimes the best way to protect your health is to remove it.
At Dental Faith, we make tooth extraction as comfortable as possible. We use gentle techniques and take time to explain every step before we start. Whether you need a simple removal, wisdom tooth extraction, or same-day emergency care, we are ready to help.
Do not wait for the pain to get worse. The sooner you come in, the easier the treatment.
PREVENTIVE DENTAL SERVICES WE OFFER
Our Services
Staying ahead of dental problems starts with the right routine care. We offer all of the following in one office.
01
Routine Cleanings and Exams
A professional cleaning removes plaque and tartar that brushing at home cannot reach. Your exam checks every tooth, your gums, and your bite for early signs of problems. Most patients need this every six months.
02
Digital X-Rays and Imaging
We use digital X-rays to see what is happening between and below your teeth. They use far less radiation than traditional X-rays and give us a clearer picture of your overall oral health.
06
Broken or Damaged Tooth Removal
A tooth that is cracked or severely damaged beyond repair needs to be removed to protect the teeth around it. We assess the damage and remove it cleanly. Remove a Broken Tooth
WHY PREVENTIVE DENTISTRY MATTERS
The Case for Staying Ahead of Dental Problems
Preventive care is not just about keeping your teeth clean. It protects your overall health and saves you money over time.
Cavities and gum disease do not fix themselves. They grow slowly and quietly until they cause pain or visible damage. By then, the treatment is almost always more involved and more expensive than it would have been caught early.
Gum disease in particular is linked to serious health conditions including heart disease and diabetes. Keeping your gums healthy is not just a dental issue. It is a health issue.
Regular visits also mean we build a clear picture of your oral health over time. We track changes, catch small shifts early, and step in before things get out of hand. That kind of consistent monitoring is something no amount of home care can replace.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU VISIT THE DENTIST?
What You Get When You Come to Dental Faith
For most patients, twice a year is the right number. Two cleanings and two exams per year keep plaque under control and give us enough check-ins to catch problems early.
Some patients need to come in more often. If you have a history of gum disease, get cavities regularly, smoke, or have certain health conditions like diabetes, we may recommend visits every three to four months instead. More frequent monitoring means we stay ahead of problems that move faster in higher-risk patients.
For children, we typically recommend starting dental visits around age one or when the first tooth appears. Early visits build good habits and let us watch how the teeth and jaw are developing.
We work with each patient to find the right schedule. If your mouth is in great shape, we say so. If we think you need more frequent visits, we explain exactly why.

Common Questions
What is preventive dentistry?
Preventive dentistry is routine care designed to stop dental problems before they start. It includes cleanings, exams, X-rays, fluoride treatments, and sealants. The goal is to keep your teeth and gums healthy so you never need more serious treatment.
How much does a dental cleaning cost in Nashville?
A routine cleaning and exam is one of the most affordable dental services available. Most insurance plans cover it fully. For patients without insurance, we offer membership and financing options. Call us and we will walk you through the numbers before your visit.
How often should I see a dentist?
Most patients do well with two visits per year. If you have a history of gum disease, get cavities often, or have certain health conditions, we may recommend coming in more frequently. We build a schedule that fits your actual needs.
Are fluoride treatments necessary?
For most patients, yes. Fluoride strengthens enamel and reduces the risk of cavities. It is especially important for children and for adults who are more prone to decay. We assess your risk level and recommend fluoride only when it makes sense for your teeth.
Do dental sealants work for adults?
Yes. While sealants are most commonly used for children, adults without decay or fillings in their back teeth can benefit from them too. They seal out food and bacteria from the deep grooves where cavities most often form.
Is preventive dental care covered by insurance?
Most dental insurance plans cover preventive care at 100 percent, including cleanings, exams, and X-rays. We verify your benefits before your appointment so you know exactly what is covered and what to expect.
What happens during a dental exam?
We check every tooth for signs of decay, examine your gums for early signs of disease, screen for oral cancer, review your X-rays, and assess your bite and jaw. At the end, we go over everything we found and talk through any next steps. No surprises.
