Dr. Jason Tennison grew up in Arlington, Texas, where his interest in orthodontics began with his own orthodontic treatment as a young teen. He enjoyed his own treatment so much, and noticed such a significant boost to his self-esteem as a result of the treatment, that he knew that someday he wanted to create the same beautiful smiles and resulting confidence in other kids and adults.

After graduating from high school, Dr. Tennison chose to attend Baylor University, where he completed his Bachelors degree in biology. Following college, he spent a year working in a pediatric dental practice in Fort Worth and another year in an orthodontic practice in Plano, where he gained invaluable experience and further confirmed his love of orthodontics, prior to entering dental school at Temple University School of Dentistry in Philadelphia. After earning his Doctor of Dental Medicine degree in 2005, Dr. Tennison returned to his beloved Texas to embark upon his specialty training in orthodontics at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston. He completed his residency at UT, obtaining a post-doctoral certificate in orthodontics and a Master of Science degree in 2007.

Dr. Tennison is an active member of the American Association of Orthodontists, the American Dental Association, the Texas Dental Association, and OKU (National Honorary Dental Society). He is also a certified Invisalign provider.

In his practice, Dr. Tennison employs the latest in orthodontic treatment and technologies, such as digital radiography, intraoral scans, and self-ligating brackets, in order to ensure the absolute best possible result for each patient. His primary goal is to provide exceptional orthodontic care with integrity and sincerity, in an environment that is warm, friendly, and family-centered.

Dr. Tennison is thankful to be a small part of the lives of the people of our community and would use the words compassionate, authentic, and trustworthy to describe the practice. He is a school board member for Cleburne ISD and served on the committee that oversaw the construction of the new high school. Additionally, did you know that Dr. Tennison is also a pretty skilled balloon animal artist? He acquired this valuable ability while working for a pediatric dentist before he went to dental school, and he has put it into practice more than a handful of times over the years.

A lifelong sports fan, Dr. Tennison enjoys watching sports of any kind (especially his beloved Baylor Bears), playing guitar, and challenging anyone to a music trivia contest. He is also quite passionate (ahem) about his motorcycle. He dreams of being able to hop on a Harley in the Swiss Alps and cruise for days on end although someone will probably have to find him and force him to come back to the real world at some point. Dr. Tennison and his wife, Amy, have three children, Maryn, Carter, and Ellie, who ensure that they stay very busy.

As Dr. Ts wife since 2000, Amy has earned the designation of most senior staff member and has worn just about every hat at TO at one time or another. She learned very quickly that she is MUCH more suited to front office duties than clinical work, though, so she currently handles most of our marketing, HR, accounts payable, and whatever else might need to be done. Many people may not know that she built a small side-business making cake pops a few years back, so give her a call if you need cute cake on a stick. Needless to say, she has a considerable sweet tooth and finds a question like, What is your favorite dessert? quite overwhelming and impossible to answer. She loves what Tennison Orthodontics has become in our community: a place where people can come to feel loved and valued and also get their teeth straightened.

Darra has been with our team since 2009. She worked for 11 years as one of our orthodontic assistants, and then in 2020 she switched over to insurance coordinator, so she has the ability to help in the front or back as needed. Darra loves the beach and dreams of someday vacationing in Greece, and most people dont know that she is very creative. She enjoys working in an environment where she is genuinely helping people and thinks the practice can be best described using the words professional, transparent, and loving.

We go WAY back with Raeann! Although Raeann was hired in 2020 (yes, in the middle of a global pandemic), she came into our lives back in 2009 as a patient, and years later, was one of our very first Cleburne High School interns. We think she may like us. She enjoys playing the French horn, loves getting to know our patients and their families, and is passionate about the nonprofit Feeding America. If she ever decides to take some time off for a vacation, you might find her in her dream vacation spot of Hanalei, Hawaii, enjoying her favorite strawberry cake.

We have been fortunate to enjoy Vanessas contagious joy and big laugh in our office since 2015. She describes Tennison Orthodontics as loving, fun, and energetic and she is a big reason why! Her dream vacation is a trip to Mount Everest, and a little-known fact is that Vanessa has studied American Kenpo Karate so we definitely try to stay on her good side. Vanessas favorite parts of her job are loving on our patients and putting a smile on their faces, two things she literally does every single day.

Vicki joined our front office team in 2017 and has been loving, encouraging, and praying with and for our patients (and staff) ever since. She has a true heart for others and loves supporting Cleburne Bible Churchs Benevolence Ministry. Her happy place is wherever her family is, but she dreams of one day vacationing in Santorini, Greece, where youll probably find her scuba diving. Oh, and if you ever need to sweet-talk her, a slice of key lime pie or just about anything lemon or lime - will do the trick. Not-yet-planned Tennison Ortho TV mini-series casting choice? Katy Mixon
