The husband and wife team, Dr. Mark Risinger and Dr. Sarah Shadix, practice a wide range of general and cosmetic dentistry in middle TN. The primary goal of our dentists and staff is to make every patient we treat the sole focus of attention. We understand that each person has his/her own unique dental needs and desires which can often be difficult to communicate in a dental office setting. That is why we are committed to listening to our patients, providing an individualized treatment plan that fits those needs, and taking the necessary time to explain the proposed treatment privately, and in a way that makes sense.
At Paramount Family Dentistry, we believe it is important not only to tell our patients about their oral health, but show them as well. That is why we have 50 inch display HD TVs, state of the art digital x-ray imaging, and intra-oral cameras in each of our treatment rooms.

Mark and Sarah are great dentists. They worked my wife in when she had a painful tooth. She needed a rootcanal and referred one in our network and gave her a prescription for antibiotics. I also had an excellent cleaning and had a new crown. We are so happy we found Paramount Dental.

A great place to get dental work done. I visited others in Nashville and did not feel like a patient, I felt more like a number. Paramount is much more affordable and personable. Win win right?! At paramount they will listen and answer any concerns, questions or comments you have. The transfer of knowledge seemed of value in itself as well as the high quality work. Work done entails: dental crown, one filling.

FANTASTIC DENTIST!! I had a crown come off over the weekend which was over a metal implant post. I called Monday morning and Dr. Risinger just happened to answer the phone. I told him my situation and asked if there was any way he could work me in (had never been to him before). He said sure. I was there in 5 minutes and Dr. Risinger took care of it just like he promised! I have now found my dentist for life!! His prices are also much more reasonable than other dentists. He was super pleasant and professional! His assistant helped me out a great deal with calling my insurance and getting that taken care of as well. Fantastic staff - you won't be disappointed!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

I have a huge fear of the dentist due to a very bad expirence when I was younger. So needless to say I never go unless it's absolutely necessary. This year I made a vow to start taking better care of myself and looked around at dentist to make a long over due appointment. I knew that I hadn't taken great care of my teeth in the meantime so on top of the fear was embarrassment. I cannot explain to you how nevous I was. But from the moment I called to make my appt to the moment I left they were all so wonderful. I actually sang along with the Dental Hygienist to the radio! I never could of imagined to feel so at ease at a dental office. Everyone was so kind and helpful. The office was very clean and presentable. I called on a Monday and was in by Wednesday. They worked through plans with me to get my teeth back to where they should be. I am so thankful to find a place that is judgement free and comfortable. You really get the feeling that they want to help you. All the stars, all 5!

I'm so thankful we found this place! We had previously gone to a pediatric dentist, where the hygienist told us to hold our 18 month old down so she could clean his teeth, after only spending a minute or two trying to interact with him. It's been the complete opposite experience here! Our 3 & 1 year old are involved in the process - they get to sit on our lap while my husband & I are having our teeth cleaned, which helps them understand it's not scary. The kids are never held down or forced to open their mouth. They understand the benefit to teaching little kids not to be scared of the dentist! They've got a kids area in the back with toys for all ages and a "treasure box" for my little kids to pick out a toy after they're done. We've never had issues with billing and we're always taken back at our appointment time!

I never write reviews but I wanted to share my experience with this office. I had seen another local dentist and had a horrible experience. However, this office was sooooo different! From the moment I walked in they were so warm, made me feel at home, were so gentle and actually listened to what was important to me. They took the time to explain everything in a way I could understand. In my opinion, best office ever!! Thank you!
