Personalized Dental Care You Can Trust in Franklin and the Greater Nashville Area
Choosing a dentist is an important decision. You want a team that listens carefully, explains clearly, and provides care you can feel confident about — both today and in the long term.
At Nashville Restorative Dentistry in Franklin, Tennessee, our focus is simple: provide forward-thinking, personalized dental care that supports your oral health, comfort, and overall well-being. Whether you are visiting for routine preventive care, cosmetic improvement, or more complex treatment, our goal is to help you understand your options and move forward with confidence.
Do You Accept New Patients?
Yes — we are always happy to welcome new patients to our practice!
Your first visit is designed to be thorough, informative, and comfortable. We begin with a comprehensive evaluation to understand your current oral health and identify any concerns early.
Your initial appointment typically includes:
- A detailed dental and medical history review
- Digital X-rays and diagnostic imaging, when appropriate
- Intraoral photographs and digital scans
- A comprehensive examination of teeth, gums, and bite
- A clear explanation of findings and recommended next steps
From there, we work together to create a treatment plan that reflects your needs, priorities, and long-term goals. Some patients require only routine care, while others benefit from a more structured plan. Either way, our team will guide you through each step at a pace that feels comfortable.

Why Do Patients Choose Nashville Restorative Dentistry?
We understand that many people have options when choosing a dentist. Our approach is centered on providing care that is both clinically sound and personally supportive.
Thoughtful Use of Advanced Technology
Modern dental technology helps us diagnose problems earlier and plan treatment more precisely. Our practice uses digital imaging, 3D CBCT technology, 3D printing, and advanced CAD CAM scanning systems to improve accuracy, efficiency, and patient comfort.
A Whole-Health Perspective
Oral health is closely connected to overall health. We consider factors such as inflammation, bite stability, and long-term function when developing treatment plans, helping support both dental and systemic wellness.
Coordinated, Comprehensive Care
Our practice provides a wide range of services — from preventive care and cosmetic dentistry to complex restorative treatment and full-mouth rehabilitation. This allows your care to be coordinated in one place, with a consistent understanding of your dental history and long-term goals.
Clear Financial Guidance
We believe patients should understand their treatment options and associated costs before moving forward. Our team works with many insurance providers and can help review benefits, discuss payment options, and explore financing when needed.
An Experienced, Highly Trained Team
One of the strengths of our practice is the continuity of our team. Many of our staff members have been with us for decades, allowing us to build lasting relationships with patients and provide dependable, familiar care at every visit. Dr. Jones, Dr. Estes, and our clinical team are highly trained and committed to pursuing continuing education and advanced training to deliver modern, evidence-based treatment while maintaining the personal relationships that matter most to our patients.
How Do You Help Patients Who Feel Anxious About Dental Visits?
Dental anxiety is common, and we take it seriously. Our goal is to create an environment where patients feel informed, supported, and in control of their care.
Many patients find that clear communication and a predictable plan help reduce stress. For those who need additional support, we offer several sedation options tailored to individual comfort levels.
Available options may include:
- Nitrous oxide (laughing gas)
- Oral sedation
- Office-based general anesthesia when appropriate
We will discuss these options with you and help determine what level of support is most comfortable and appropriate for your situation.
Preventive Care That Supports Long-Term Oral Health
Routine dental visits play an important role in maintaining healthy teeth and gums. Preventive care allows us to detect concerns early, often before symptoms develop, and helps reduce the need for more extensive treatment later.
Regular visits typically focus on:
- Monitoring gum health and inflammation
- Evaluating bite stability and tooth wear
- Identifying early signs of decay or structural damage
- Supporting consistent home care habits
Our goal is not simply to treat problems as they arise, but to help you maintain a stable, healthy smile for years to come.
