Dr. Clark Named Nashville TOP DENTIST 2016

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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The staff at Downtown Dental was very professional and efficient!  My hygienist, Katy, did a great job on my cleaning and also explaining everything to me as a new patient. Their equipment was state-of the-art!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is the first dental office that’s actually been so thorough in my dental work and has taken time to really explain things to me about dental care—which says a lot! Katy has been a wonderful and this dental office has changed my outlook on dentist appointments as I know I am in good hands at this office!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Parking behind bldg. For those hesitate about going dwntwn to Dentist. I had a very thorough consultation and various approaches to heal TMJ. I had prior TMJ treatment that was very costly, which did not resolve the pain/discomfort or flare ups. Very detailed and informative. Personable in  explaining why I still had ongoing problems.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am not the type of person that writes a bunch of Google reviews.  However, I have to pass along a very well-earned 'atta boy to Downtown Dental.  I trust these people, and genuinely feel like they are looking out for my dental health.  I take care of my teeth, but I am grinding them down to nothing by clenching my teeth while I sleep.  I have been working with Katy, who is awesome, and we're getting it all figured out.  I'm happy I chose this place.  If you're looking for a good dentist in Nashville, this is the spot.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had my first experience with Dr. Clark, Katy, and the girls at the front desk. Everyone was so friendly and helpful and genuinely cares about how they can support each person‘s personal needs. Katy, the dental hygienist called me the day before and we had a wonderful chat as to what my needs would be, and really set the tone to to help me feel comfortable on my first visit the following day. Dr. Clark is so knowledgeable and has acquired special skills and technology to help with various needs that we might have to improve our well-being. I actually had fun and left feeling I was in extremely capable hands for the well-being of my teeth and dental needs.
