For Dr. Bryce, dentistry is not about competition. Its not about getting bodies in and out as though people were a commodity. Its not about high profit margins, volume, or cutting corners when it comes to labs, materials, or personnel. The goal at Aesthetic Dentistry by Design is to provide technical excellence and an exceptional experience without compromise. Well give you our best by using advanced techniques and quality materials for aesthetic dental work that improves your smile in every way. Our office features an intelligent, friendly, and compassionate team who cares about dentistry and exceptional service. Our patients have high expectations, and because were driven by excellence, we consistently exceed those expectations. Well serve your entire family with this level of quality dental care.
Several of these diagnostic tools help us during yourgeneral family dentistrycheckups to find even early warning signs of possible future problems. DIAGNOdent is an amazing piece of technology that uses lasers to detect cavities before they can be seen. With digital imaging, photography, and X-rays, we can quickly and easily assess your oral health and show you what were seeing on chairside monitors. Plus, these digital images are safe for your health and easy to manage for better dental record keeping. ViziLite is an oral cancer detection system that helps with timely diagnosis of this serious dental health problem, and we can provide advanced treatments with lasers, TENS, and K-7 technology.
Dr. Bryce received a BS in biology from Cal State Fullerton, followed by a DDS degree from Georgetown University School of Dentistry in 1988. He entered private practice immediately following graduation and is a Clinical Instructor at LVI. Through comprehensive cosmetic dentistry and physiological dentistry, Dr. Bryce delivers quality care to enhance smiles and lives.
Constantly in pursuit of excellence, Dr. Bryce enhances his skills and services through postgraduate study. The Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies (LVI) bestowed their highest honor, Master status, on Dr. Bryce. He is one of only 18 dentists worldwide to receive this honor. Dr. Bryce completed all seven core programs at LVI plus numerous other courses, passing an extensive written and verbal examination. He treated three separate full-mouth rejuvenation patients, restoring all 28 teeth in one visit. He treated all these patients successfully for TMJ dysfunction as well. Dr. Bryce has undertaken advanced training in orthodontics and dental implant placement and restoration. A Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry, Dr. Bryce is currently working towards Master status.
Dr. Bryce and his wife, Michele, have two grown sons, Matthew and Ryan, and a cat and dog. Outside the office, Dr. Bryce devotes his time to his family and church activities. An accomplished martial arts instructor, Dr. Bryce teaches a variety of styles. He gives back to the community through local schools and the Loudon County Adult Dental Clinic.
Your oral health is intimately connected to your overall well-being, so it stands to reason that you would only want the best dentist to look after your smile. Many dentists are very skilled, and they offer compassionate, high-quality care but not all of them have the same level of training and expertise as Dr. Robert Bryce. He has a long list of professional accomplishments to his name, the most outstanding of which is that he is an LVIM. What exactly does that mean?
LVI stands for Las Vegas Institute. The Las Vegas Institute is a world-renown advanced dental education facility. It offers a range of specialized courses that are designed to help dentists learn to provide the highest quality of care possible. The programs it offers focus heavily on both aesthetic restoration and comprehensive, physiologic dentistry.
This means that LVI helps dentists to create beautiful, functional smiles for their patients that are free from the troubles of such issues as temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) and other problems that affect the complex connections between the mouth and the surrounding muscles and joints. LVI encourages its students to have a true passion for dentistry and the advanced technology and techniques that are on the leading edge of the oral healthcare field.
Dentists who wish to become 'Masters' must first acquire recognition as a Fellow'. In order to become a Fellow, an LVI dentist must successfully complete 7 Core courses established by LVI to educate the dentist 's knowledge of cosmetic, aesthetic, complex restorative challenges, dental occlusion, TMJ, and advanced technology. Once this has been achieved, LVI Fellowship candidates must successfully pass a rigorous examination. If they meet these requirements, they are permitted to apply for 'Mastership' status.
In order to pursue LVI Mastership (LVIM), the candidate must complete three full mouth rejuvenation cases (usually restoring all 28 teeth in one visit) from patients in their practice. These cases must demonstrate mastery of the curriculum taught at LVI, thereby showcasing their skills in aesthetic and physiologic dentistry. Each patient must provide a testimonial of their treatment experience with Dr Bryce.
Lastly, a committee of the leadership at LVI reviews the cases to determine whether the candidate truly meets the high standards set out by LVI. Then, the candidate must undergo an interviewwherein they must defend their positions regarding their cases. Only then are they recognized with the prestigious LVIM.
If you have severe and/or painful problems that affect your mouth and jaw, please dont hesitate tocontact our office. Youll quickly discover that Dr. Bryce is committed to providing truly excellent service. Here are just a few of the ways in which he strives to give you the full benefit of his extensive training:

Who knew going to the dentist could be fun? I truly enjoy Dr. Bryce and Michele's warm personalities and lighthearted demeanor. We end up having laughs together every time. In all seriousness though, I have been going to Dr. Bryce for 15 years. I tried several dentists before finding him. I was a mess! I had some childhood jaw bone structure and periodontal issues. Dr. Bryce really cares and is a perfectionist in his work. It has made a huge difference in my oral health. He has also treated me this past year for TMJ, as I was suffering from headaches. He has me in a night appliance that is comfortable, and my jaw feels much more relaxed upon awakening.

Dr Bryce is an excellent dentist who is warm, engaging, and really pays attention to the details - his work is flawless. I've been a patient for over 10 years and I wouldn't think about changing. He spends the time to explain the process and/or procedure. At every visit, without fail, he makes sure that I am comfortable and without pain no matter what the procedure. I've had some extensive dental work done by Dr. Bryce and couldn't be happier with the results.

Dr. Bryce is one of the best in the area for dental services. He pays extremely close attention to detail and will choose the best plan for your dental needs. One of the smartest doctors I've been around and will make sure that he gets the job done right. Highly recommend!

I knew that I needed considerable dental work, but, living on the west coast, getting to the office was a huge obstacle. When the opportunity to fly presented itself, I jumped on it. Dr. Bryce and Michele went out of their way to accomodate my limited time frame, compressing extensive work into a short series of visits. I have never before experienced as thorough and careful treatment as I did here, including extensive x-rays, photographs, and meticulous attention to detail in all stages of examination and restoration. My temporaries were done so carefully that they looked like permanent teeth, and Dr. Bryce sent such exacting specifications to the lab that the returned pieces were well-crafted and ready for fitting. Even considering the high quality of the lab work, Dr. Bryce patiently worked with each piece, fine-tuning the fitment and shape, and correcting the bite at each point. Final cleanup was equally thorough, leading to a functionally sound and visibly beautiful overall result. Dr. Bryce has a fun-loving and easygoing personality, but don't let that fool you-- when it comes to your teeth, he is a perfectionist! I could sense his mastery and his passion for the highest standard in dentistry throughout my visits and treatment.

Dr. Bryce and his staff are awesome! I am currently being treated for a severe TMD/TMJ issue that is negatively impacting my life style because I have a very bad bite issue, along with extreme tinnitus, that causes me to not even be able to work some days. The good news is, only after 2 weeks of using the orthotic appliance Dr. Bryce has fitted me with, I am feeling much better, and have hope of a near full recovery, coming in the near future. I thankfully found Dr. Bryce, after years of struggling with this issue, and after seeing many different specialists including: ENT, oral surgeon, TMD/TMJ specialists, heart specialists, and chiropractors; trying to figure out the tinnitus (and jaw aches) issues. Dr. Bryce did a very thorough diagnosis, as well as defined an exact treatment plan to help the TMD/TMJ issue, which is currently reducing my main issues of tinnitus, bite issues, and jaw pain. The Dr. explained and even showed me the CTScans results he ordered and where/what the issues are, (at a level, that I could understand). Dr. Bryce is the first doctor and dentist I have ever seen that actually knows how to treat an issue on a holistic level. His plan is not just dental, it also incorporates exercises and alignment strategies for my spine, along with dietary changes, that are all counteracting with the TMD/TMJ issues I have. Dr. Bryce and and his staff are a hidden gem located 1 mile from my house!!! I wish I had known Dr. Bryce 25 years ago, as I surely would not be going through these problems, as he would not have allowed my jaw to get twisted (due to bad orthodontal / dental work) (because he is a perfectionist, scientist and artist). I actually enjoy and look forward to going to my TMD visits, as Dr. Bryce and his staff are so welcoming, professional and have a personal approach to giving me the best care possible. It indeed is life changing, for the better, in my situation. I truly hope any one struggling with TMD/TMJ issues find Dr. Bryce, as he can save your life, as he is mine. Thank you Dr. Bryce (and Michelle) for your expert dental care as well as your professional and personal care, that always make me feel well taken care of and comfortable (even to to ask questions). I also appreciate just having a nice emotionally supportive conversation about my TMD health struggles or just about kitty cats with Dr. Bryce and Michelle. :)

Dr. Bryce provides exceptional service. Not only is he a truly gifted dentist, he also sees each patient's whole health improvement as a goal. He is a superior dentist and diagnostician of TMJ, muscle problems, headaches, posture, etc that often stem from dental issues. He treated my TMJ very successfully and was able to adjust my bite so I am now comfortable chewing and not ruining my teeth... no more headaches either! The office is impeccably clean and well run. Michelle, his assistant, is always ready to help with a smile and a calming demeanor, whether assisting during procedures or while in the reception area. They both provide the highest level of professionalism in a warm, caring environment. After a lifetime of fearing any and all dental visits, I am now happy to enjoy my time at the dentist. If you value perfect dental health and a beautiful smile, this practice is a must!

I've never posted my opinion on line about anything before, but I would like to tell you about my experience at Dr. Bryce's office. I went to Virginia to help my sister pack because she was selling her house. While I was there I needed to get my post put in for my permanent tooth. I heard about Dr.Bryce from my sisters neighbors, saying he was one of the better dentist in town. So I checked him out on line and made my appointment. It didn't take long to get in to see him and my experience was so much better then I thought it would be for a dentist appointment. 1. The procedure was shorter then I thought it would be and I was in no discomfort at all. 2. There wasn't any pain during the procedure. Dr. Bryce made sure I stayed numb thoughout. 3. His assistant Michelle was great. She didn't hurt my mouth or lips with her tool's while keeping my mouth cleaned out for Dr. Bryce. She keep my lips moist so they didn't dry out and hurt and whipped my face off when needed. 4. Dr. Bryce was nice and courteous and made me feel comfortable throughout the procedure. He showed me my X rays of the implant when he was done. It was perfect. When I came home and went to my dentist here for a cleaning. My dentist said Dr. Bryce did a perfect job, it was just the way he like it for when he puts my crown on in six months or so. So I would definitely recommend that if you want a nice experience at a dentist office. Go see Dr. Bryce for dental needs.

I have continued to make Dr. Bryce my only dentist for over 30 years. He is a top professional that not only stays current with cutting edge Dental technology, he is also active in teaching the latest Dental techniques at a prestigious US Dental School. I am grateful for pain free service even when he is performing more complex dental work. I have had root canals from Dr. B that are as comfortable as a cleaning. I cannot more highly recommend a more competent professional as Dr. Bryce. Finally, you won't find a more friendly, compassionate office than that of Dr. Bryce and his staff. I give him the highest recommendation!

Most everyone dreads the thought of going to the dentist but I can honestly say I look forward to each visit. No need to ever be afraid as he takes extra special care to make sure you are comfortable and not in pain. I have been with Dr. Bryce going on 25 years. He has made my mouth and smile beautiful. He has completed bone grafts, crowns, implants (not only one but many) and of course fillings. He takes great pride in his work and is very meticulous when it comes to matching a tooth color or correcting your bite. I have never experienced a doctor/dentist like him in the course of my 70 plus years and I have seen many. He has a wonderful personality, explains each procedure and is easy to talk to. Great chair side manner. His staff is polite, encouraging and very helpful and also makes you feel at ease. I guess I can't say enough about him but if you need a dentist for whatever the issue this is the one for you. You will not be disappointed.
