TREATING YOUR CHILD AS OUR OWN, BUILDING THE FUTURE ONE SMILE AT A TIME.
We want to care for YOU and your family!
We are here to be a resource to treat your child as you would want them to be treated. A pediatric dentist is a dentist who has spent extra years training in a formal academic setting to know how to treat children’s dental needs and meet them where they are..
Meet Dr. Joel
Hi, I’m Dr. Joel. I became a dentist as a way to work with my hands and my mind to directly provide health care to people. I grew up in Bowling Green, Kentucky and have degrees in Music and Religious Studies from Western Kentucky University. I then attended the University of Kentucky College of Dentistry.
Soon after finishing dental school and practicing as a general dentist, I got a chance to spend some time working at a kids’ dental clinic in Northern Maine. I LOVED IT!!! I also saw that meeting the needs of pediatric dental patients was worth extra training as a specialist: kids are NOT little adults.
A couple of years later, my wife and I moved to Nashville to be closer to family. After 6 years of general practice, I was chosen to spend two years in a pediatric dental residency through NYU Langone Hospitals here in Nashville. Since competing the program in 2018, I have become a Board Certified Pediatric Dentist and practiced solely as a pediatric dentist.
My wife and I have a son and a Norwich Terrier. Both are full of energy and keep us active.
I believe that we must build our future one day at a time and I can do that best by treating your children as I would want my child to be treated. I have started this private practice in order to best care for my patients and my community. Come join me and my staff as we create our future, one smile at a time.
Our Services
Comprehensive Exams
Whether recommended by a dentist or physician, referred by a friend, or you found us on your own, we see your child as a person and you as the person who knows them best. We will perform a thorough exam and discuss our findings and options with you in order to help you make the best decisions for your child.
Hygiene & Preventative Services
Good oral health is founded on cleanliness. We have a hygiene program designed not only to clean your child’s teeth but to teach you to keep them clean at home. We would love to help your child stay cavity-free for life.
Anxiolytic, Oral Sedation and General Anesthesia Services
We know that dental work can ask a lot of patients. It is a lot for an adult! In order to treat your child in a humane and caring way, and as part of what sets a pediatric dentist apart, we offer different forms of relaxation as part of our practice. Whether your child needs laughing gas, oral sedation or general anesthesia, we can help you decide what is best for your child and be the provider you need.
Restorative & Oral Surgery Services
We want to save every tooth we can and we have the tools and technology to do so. Some teeth need to go to the tooth fairy and we can help with that, too!
