Frequently Asked Questions

What Happens During a Typical Visit to Belle Meade Family Dentistry?

Although every visit to our Nashville, TN, office is unique, there are certain things you can expect. First, you will be greeted by one of our staff members when you check in. At that time, you may be asked to fill out paperwork, or show your health or dental insurance card. When your appointment time arrives, you will be taken into a state-of-the-art treatment room. If you have any concerns, we can discuss them thoroughly. From that point, you may experience a routine cleaning, undergo a consultation for cosmetic treatments, have x-rays taken, and so on. We want you to be comfortable 100 percent of the time, so if you ever have questions or concerns, let us know immediately.

What If I Am Afraid of Going to the Dentist?

Dental anxiety is a real condition that affects many patients. We will help you work through your concerns and offer options such as sedation dentistry to make your treatments go smoothly. Remember that dentistry has changed quite a bit since your parents were children! Today, patients come first, and everyone at Belle Meade Family Dentistry wants you to enjoy the oral health and cosmetic dentistry outcomes you deserve!

Can I Go to the Dentist If I Am Pregnant?

Absolutely! In fact, it is recommended that you pay close attention to oral hygiene when you are pregnant. Be sure to let us know before we start any treatments if you think or know you are pregnant.

Do You Still Use Those Old-Fashioned Drills?

You are probably thinking of drills that were once considered top-of-the-line dental equipment. They buzzed, they hummed, and they caused fear in many patients. At Belle Meade Family Dentistry, we no longer have to use these old-fashioned tools; the equipment we use is cutting-edge. For example, we can now treat a wide range of dental concerns with minimally invasive lasers. Additionally, our air abrasion tools use powerful air technology to clean out tooth decay without metal scrapers. This is just part of the new type of dentistry that is making it more convenient for millions of people to actually enjoy going to the dentist—sometimes for the first time in their lives!
