Whether you're looking to relax during a routine procedure or need help overcoming anxiety, our team is here to help you.

When it’s time for your next complete dental checkup, call Tennessee Family Dental Care. We welcome you and your family to visit us every six months, or as recommended by your dentist. Here is what you can expect during your next preventive visit:
A member of our friendly team will check your teeth, gums, tongue, and other tissues for signs of decay or disease.
Your hygienist will thoroughly brush, floss, and polish your teeth to remove any built-up plaque or tartar.

Tennessee Family Dental Care is a clean, comfortable, and affordable dental practice that serves Bellevue, Nashville, and the surrounding communities. We offer a full range of family dentistry procedures, treatments, and procedures to give our patients an amazing dental care experience. Here is what you can expect when you arrive:
Oral health is essential to full-body health. Our dentist recommends you come in every six months for a regular dental checkup. Every checkup includes professional teeth cleaning, a thorough oral examination, and, as needed, digital X-rays and an oral cancer screening.
If you need to replace or protect damaged or missing teeth, we offer restorative treatments. Our crowns and bridges are made from durable, natural-looking porcelain for years of healthy smiles.
Your dentist provides tooth-colored composite resin fillings to maintain the health and appearance of your teeth. Composite fillings give you the same restorative benefits as traditional fillings but let you keep the beautiful look of your smile.
Your dentist uses long-lasting porcelain direct and indirect fillings to fully repair and restore teeth. If your smile needs restorative care, we may recommend an inlay or onlay.
Great for athletes of all ages, our custom-made mouth guards are worn over the teeth and used to prevent mouth injuries. Also, we offer night guards for those patients who suffer from clenching or grinding through the night.
If you’re living with bad breath, we get to the source to restore your good oral health.
A root canal treatment is a tooth-saving procedure used to prevent extraction in cases of damage, disease, or infection. Dr. Emmons performs comfortable root canals to provide relief and give you your healthy smile back.
Sleep apnea can prevent you from getting the rest your body needs. Our oral appliances position your jaw in a way that provides open airways giving you a good night’s rest.
Laughing gas is a mild, sweet-smelling gas. We mix the gas with oxygen and administer it through a small mask placed over your nose during treatment. The gas helps calm you by putting you in a relaxed, giddy state. When used with a local anesthetic, laughing gas can help make your next dental procedure a stress-free and painless experience. Laughing gas is safe for children and is recommended to help children who experience dental anxiety or discomfort during treatment relax.
Are you tired of hiding your smile? Do stained or crooked teeth keep you from smiling with pride? Let us help you achieve your dream smile! Schedule your cosmetic consultation today. Here are the services we offer at Tennessee Family Dental Care:
In-office teeth bleaching is the fast, effective, and affordable way to remove years of stains and give you a dazzling smile. Treatment lasts 30-60 minutes and can achieve up to five shades of brightening in just one visit.
Invisalign is the global leader in clear aligner therapy. Using the latest technology and digital treatment planning, Dr. Emmon can prescribe a series of comfortable, nearly invisible aligners to straighten your teeth in less time than braces.
You can achieve a more relaxed, refreshed appearance with facial rejuvenation treatment. Dr. Emmon offers cosmetic facial injections to smooth fine lines, wrinkles, worry lines, and more.
Laughing gas doesn’t stay in your system for long. The effects will begin to fade as soon as your dentist turns off the gas. Following treatment, the effects of laughing gas wear off quickly with little to no grogginess. Most patients can drive themselves home after their procedures.
Yes, laughing gas is very safe. Our team is trained to safely administer both local anesthesia and laughing gas to patients of all ages. While some patients may experience an allergic reaction or adverse side effect, we will do everything we can to make your time with us safe. Be sure to discuss your medical history and all medication allergies during your appointment. Our team will help you determine if laughing gas is right for you.
No, if you experience a dental emergency, you should visit your dentist right away. Trips to the emergency room should be avoided unless you experience uncontrolled oral bleeding or swelling that threatens to constrict your airway. Your dentist is trained to address your urgent needs and provide prompt care.

Without treatment, a cavity will continue to grow and deepen. This can cause infections if it reaches the sensitive material inside your tooth, called dental pulp, and weaken the structure of your tooth until it chips or cracks. It’s important to repair cavities as soon as possible to maintain your healthy smile.
The loss of one or more teeth in a row can negatively impact your smile, as well as your overall oral health. If you’re living with an incomplete smile, you may benefit from a dental bridge. A bridge consists of one or more false teeth (crowns), called pontics. The pontics are anchored to your surrounding teeth, with crowns placed on either side of the gap. These crowns are called abutments and provide stability to the bridge, filling the gap left behind by tooth loss.
Made from long-lasting porcelain, you can expect your bridge to function for 10-15 years before needing to be repaired or replaced.
A pair of dentures can last up to a decade with good care, but on average will last 5-8 years. Your denture will need maintenance to account for normal wear and tear. These visits will ensure that your dentures are comfortable and functional for many years to come.
