Hopefully my opinion will change. I took my four kids here and the first visit was amazing. They took such good care of us. I booked the next cleaning that day. And a week before they canceled on us. I had to wait another 3 months for an appointment. Our appointment was scheduled for next Thursday and after confirming 2 times last week. They called today and cancel our appointment again. Now we have to wait another 2 months to get a basic cleaning. I'm very discouraged because we are always on time for our routine cleanings. UPDATE: I received a call and got 2 out of 4 kids in for a cleaning. Hopefully I'll get the next two in the office next week. I appreciated the call and them wanting to make the situation right.

Nope. We are a family with four kids and had searched a new dentist. Anyone with children knows it can be hectic managing appointments not to mention scheduling them around other activities or life in general. We found Tn Smiles and booked new appointments. We arrived a few minutes early. I texted upon arrival and notified them that we were there. WE SAT THERE 46 MINUTES AND NOBODY CAME TO MY CAR - nobody. So we left and I let 'politely' let them know we won't be back. It is very inconsiderate of them to assume anyone has that much spare time in their day to just sit in a hot parking lot and wait for them to get their act together. Talk about unprofessional! As I pulled out of the parking lot, after almost an hour, I finally get a text from them asking where we went, all surprised. I started to call and give them a piece of my mind at that point but I chose to take the high road. Figured I'd post this review instead. Oh and I'll be sure to tell ALL my friends.

Took my girls to get a dental checkup. One is 5 and wasn't scared at all and one is almost 2 and it was her first time so she was scared. I want to start by saying I feel so much better sitting in my car to wait on the office to be safe from other patients at this time. Also, I want to say that the staff was so kind and explained everything and made sure my girls were as comfortable as they could be. When my almost 2 year old had her turn and got scared they were quick to clean her teeth so that she wouldn't stay so upset but still got her exam done. I am so glad. I definitely recommend taking your babies here!

I can't say enough good things about TN Smiles, this practice! Both of my children we terrified to go to dental cleanings/appointments, until TN Smiles! They pay attention to detail in a kid friendly/clean office to making every patient feel at ease and them not even realize procedures are being done! I often refer this practice to friends and new comers in the area! If you don't have a pediatric dentist/orthodontist I highly recommend this practice. They are all a pleasure to work with!
