Seeking treatment for gum disease at any stage is imperative to a healthy mouth and healthy body.

Dr. Penner was very thorough in the pre-procedure appointments and made sure we were very clear on the exact plan for the procedure. Very patient and kind, which seem to be his personality and totally put us at ease. Post procedure, extremely happy with the results and no doubt that we would and will go to him again when the need arises.

Dr. Penner is so calming and thorough. He laid out the options for treatment and helped me decide what was best for my needs. Dr. Penner and his staff treat the whole patient, including addressing my dental fears and making sure I was completely comfortable with the procedure. He's new to Nashville and we're lucky to have him!
