Services

Prevention, Gum Health & Comfort

  • Cleanings & Gum Health: Gentle hygiene with laser therapy options to limit antibiotics.
  • Cavity Care: Conservative fillings/onlays that save healthy tooth.
  • Sensitivity & Emergency Relief: Same-day when possible.
  • Cold Sore & Ulcer Laser Treatment: Laser care for herpetic lesions/aphthous ulcers to reduce pain and speed healing.
  • Risk & Habits Review: Diet, saliva, myofunction, and mouth-breathing that elevate cavity/gum risk.
  • Homecare Plan: Simple, sustainable changes with measurable impact.

Restorative & Missing Teeth Replacement 

  • Conservative Cavity Care: Small, tooth-colored fillings that remove as little enamel as possible so your teeth last longer.
  • Inlays & Onlays First: Bonded inlays/onlays as our go-to over crowns, preserving far more natural tooth structure.
  • Enamel-Sparing Crowns: When crowns are truly needed, we design them to leave up to 50% more natural enamel than typical approaches.
  • Save-Your-Teeth Reconstruction: In severe wear or erosion, we rebuild and stabilize teeth that many offices would extract for full-arch implants, often avoiding full-mouth removal.
  • Full-Arch Implants When Needed: All-on-X-style implant solutions for cases that genuinely require extractions-never a one-size-fits-all default.
  • Bite-Tuned, Long-Lasting Results: Every restoration is calibrated to your bite to reduce fractures and the cycle of redoing dentistry every few years.

Bite, TMJ & Myofunction

  • Digital Bite Mapping & Calibration: Measure contacts and timing to stop chips, cracks, and “high” crowns.
  • Custom Day/Night Appliances: Designed to your ideal joint/muscle balance (beyond generic guards).
  • Myofunctional Therapy: Retrain tongue, lips, and breathing to reduce clenching, improve stability, and lower cavity/gum risk.
  • TMJ Care (Non-Surgical): Joint, muscles, teeth, airway/sleep, and posture considered together.

Airway, Sleep & Myofunction

  • Screening for Mouth-Breathing/Apnea: Identify sleep contributors to inflammation, decay, and grinding.
  • Oral Appliances and Myofunctional Therapy for Sleep Apnea: Plus collaboration with sleep/ENT partners.
  • Tongue-Tie Release (Frenectomy): When indicated, to support nasal breathing, speech, and oral function.

Orthodontics & Alignment (Adults & Teens)

  • Clear Aligners/Orthodontics: Improve alignment and function, timed to health and airway needs.
  • Relapse & Retention Planning: Stabilize muscles and bite so results last.

Kids & Growing Smiles

  • Early Growth & Airway Evaluation — Age-appropriate screening for nasal breathing, tongue posture, crowding, and sleep-related issues.
  • Myofunctional Support (Early Intervention) — Train healthy habits (nasal breathing, tongue posture, lip seal, chewing/swallow) to guide growth and reduce future problems.
  • Guided Orthodontics — When needed, we time orthodontic treatment to growth to expand space, correct crowding, and help them catch up if development is behind.
  • One Team, Clear Roadmap — We coordinate with parents on what to do now, what to watch, and when to act next.

Cosmetic & Facial Aesthetics

  • Prepless, conservative veneers: Transform your smile while preserving your natural enamel whenever possible.
  • Facially driven smile design & previews: Plan your smile around your face, lips, and profile-and use digital mockups/temporaries to try out your new look before anything is permanent.
  • Non-surgical "dental facelift": Improve facial support, fullness, and symmetry through thoughtful changes in bite and tooth position.
  • Additive cosmetic bonding: Repair chips and reshape worn edges without aggressive drilling.
  • Whitening & color harmony: Professional whitening and shade-matching that works with your natural teeth and restorations.

    Dr. Daron Clark
    Integrative TMJ, airway, and cosmetic reconstruction with conservative, tooth-sparing focus
    Dr. Daron Clark is a physiologic dentist and founder of Downtown Dental Nashville. He connects teeth, bite, airway, sleep, and facial balance to help patients get out of pain, protect their teeth, and feel confident in their smiles. Patients come to him when they want more than quick fixes—they want someone to explain the “why,” show the full picture, and build a plan that fits their health and goals.

    With thousands of hours of advanced training in TMJ/TMD, airway and sleep, conservative restorative dentistry, and cosmetic/facial aesthetics, Dr. Clark is known for his integrative, biologic, and enamel-sparing approach. He uses advanced imaging, digital bite mapping, and 3D planning to prove what’s happening before he treats, so patients can see and understand their options and move forward with clarity and confidence.
