    I had a comprehensive exam and gum grafting with Dr. Alec Temlock, and the experience was amazing…read more He explained everything clearly and made what sounds like a scary procedure feel easy. I took oral sedation and woke up at home with just a few stitches -- smooth and stress-free recovery. It's been about six weeks, and the results look completely natural. Dr. Temlock and his team are professional, kind, and truly know what they're doing -- hands down the best periodontal clinic in Nashville!

    There are not enough stars in the world to describe Dr. Temlock and Nashville Periodontal Group! I…read morewent to go see Dr. Temlock at Nashville Periodontal Group in his Nashville, TN office (they have a Brentwood, TN location too) after I went to another local periodontist that my general dentist referred me to. The experience with the other Periodontist felt rushed, uninspiring, and it felt like they just wanted my money and required a deposit to schedule my surgery after 15 minutes with the staff and maybe 5 minutes with the doctor. So, I wanted a second opinion, and I am so happy I did! First, I want to talk about Dr. Temlock. He spent an entire hour with me at my initial consultation, and he really took the time to explain everything to me in terms that I could understand. I've never seen a doctor or dentist spend that much time with me! His chair-side manner was a 10/10, and I felt totally educated about my periodontal issue. He was there to answer all my questions, and he helped guide me through the anticipated surgery so I could make the right decision for MYSELF! He was so kind, patient, and genuine. This was almost the exact opposite of what occurred at the first periodontist's office. Second, his staff was super nice, and they helped me out every step of the way regarding the logistics. They need to be mentioned here too because they were so awesome too! I was very anxious about my surgery, but Dr. Temlock's knowledge, skills, confidence, and experience really put me at ease. I chose to be sedated for my procedure (and this was the best money I ever spent throughout the whole situation!), and I do not remember anything! I needed a really bad/cracked tooth removed, a sinus lift, and bone graft so I could get a dental implant. Sounds scary, right!?! Not with Dr. Temlock and Nashville Periodontal Group's staff! Everything went just as he explained it at the consult. He even called me the next day to ask how I was doing and answer my questions. I've couldn't believe the doctor actually called me instead of the nurse! Dr. Temlock really does care about his patients, and he even gave me his phone number in case I had any more questions over the weekend. Lastly, I returned to the office for my follow-up appointment about 3 weeks after the surgery, and Dr. Temlock saw me, took time to personally evaluate the surgical area, and answered all my questions again. I thought I was only going to see the assistant/nurse from Nashville Periodontal Group that day, but Dr. Temlock was the one who entered the room. I couldn't believe it! Dr. Temlock reassured me that I was healing great and right on schedule, and Dr. Temlock explained that everything was on course which helped calm down my anxiety too. Overall, I cannot thank Dr. Temlock and the staff at Nashville Periodontal Group enough! Everyone is so professional and understanding. From the first time I met Dr. Temlock through the last goodbye, I cannot thank him enough. Now that everything major is complete, I am going to get my teeth cleaned with Dr. Temlock's hygienists and alternate between my dentist's office and Nashville Periodontal Group. The whole team at Nashville Periodontal Group are going to make sure they keep a close eye on all my teeth and gums into the future, so I know I am in good hands as Dr. Temlock and all the staff at Nashville Periodontal Group will continue to monitor the rest of my teeth and gums to hopefully minimize and prevent any serious issues in the future. After my experience with Dr. Temlock and Nashville Periodontal Group, I now know that my voice counts and my concerns will be addressed with professionalism, respect, empathy, and truly individualized to my specific needs. I cannot say thank you enough to Dr. Temlock and the staff at Nashville Periodontal Group, and my only advice is that anyone out there needing Periodontal or Dental Implant Surgery visit Dr. Temlock before making any decisions. I guarantee you will be astonished about how different the patient experience can be when compared to other providers!

    I had my wisdom teeth removed a little over a week ago by Dr. Young and just had my follow up…read moreappointment today. As I left I told the receptionist that if ever they needed testimonials to call me because this was a wonderful experience! I know, who says that, right? It's all 4 wisdom teeth!!! But seriously, the office is clean and modern, the staff is professional and friendly, and the doctor did an amazing job! I had zero complications and everything went sooo smoothly. From the initial consultation, to scheduling for the surgery, to the anesthesia, the actual surgery, the follow up phone call from Dr. Young, and the follow up appointment, everything was handled so very well. As another reviewer stated, they gave me the gas, they put in my IV, and then asked if I was comfortable. I answered yes and the next thing I knew, the surgery was complete. I will definitely recommend this office to everyone who has need and I'm grateful that my dentist Dr. Kemp recommended them to me!

    This is clearly one of the best medical/oral surgery dental offices in Franklin, and we are very…read morefortunate to have someone like Dr Daniel Clark here who has done 3 dental implants for me now. I cannot speak for the others dental practitioners in this practice, since I have not seen anyone but Dr, Clark, but I would bet that they are equally great. Words don't do justice to how wonderful I feel my two experiences with implants have been for me here. Most everyone, I would guess, hates dental work of any kind, but my experience with getting my implants was painless both during and after. However, I did get IV general/sedation, and I am glad that I can afford to do that. In addition, I was clearly impressed with the call I got from Dr, Clark the evening of my procedure to check on me. I mean, how many doctors/dentists do that anymore, if they ever did. Costs are discussed with you and spelled out in writing after your initial evaluation, so there are no surprises about what your costs will be for each and every thing going forward. All personnel in this practice are friendly, welcoming and professional. NancyB

    When i thought the impossible became possible. I have always struggled with my teeth. I was upset…read moremy parents for not getting my dental work done when i was a kid. Just like all my medical work i made a spontaneous decision to go get a teeth cleaning. Which turned into a whole big thing. Referrals to get my wisdom teeth removed this that and the other. I did some research online found an office that does wisdom teeth and Invisalign. Beautiful let go there. Made a next day appointment was going great when bam "im sorry we are going to have to refer you we can't get those out". Ughhhh im about to give up again. But i took the leap made the appointment they were able to get me in 1230 next day for a consultation. I went in we discussed prices when i saw the price that wasnt an over kill for all my wisdom teeth i made a call 20 mins later i was on the books for 4pm same day. Went back in 4pm the same day walked out at 515 all my wisdom teeth gone. All this to say Dr. Nguyen and his assistant. AMAZING. Was very very comfortable. Laughing gas and some numbing i was in full control of my procedure. And I got a concert with it. Now I'm on the right steps to getting the teeth i always wanted. Thank you dr Nguyen.

    Dr. Nguyen was good, unfortunately his billing group is not! After I had paid the final agreed to…read moreamount I got a random bill for $94.00. This bill showed up 4 or 5 months after everything was done. I called two times without a return call. When I finally did talk to someone they just said it was the amount insurance didn't cover and would not provide a written explanation.

    Okay, I am NOT the type to leave a review if it's bad, but this is worth someone else being warned…read more I went to Nashville Smile Creations back in October after a 6 year stint of no cleanings (gross, I know), and the cleaning itself was fine. I was told I had a few small cavities, nothing major. I wasn't thrilled with the dentist's bedside manner that came to tell me about the cavities but whatever. I booked an appointment that day to get them taken care of and booked my 6 month cleaning in advance. I go in to get 2 of the cavities filled by Dr. Clodfelter, it's very painful, it takes forever, but I suck it up and get it done, pay my $75 bill and leave with them saying they'll call me about the other cavities to book an appointment. My tooth is suddenly extremely sensitive after the filling and I never hear from them again, I don't call them as I'm frustrated with the new pain and already have a mild fear of dentists. I show up for my biannual cleaning today and mention the sensitivity to Dr. Mena. Turns out, the filling was done too close to the nerve and -- of course -- he recommends a root canal because "it wasn't their fault". I had ZERO pain before I got this filled. This was also after a very painful cleaning by Dr. Mena, after I winced and flinched several times in his chair as he dug sharply into my gums. My last cleaning by a hygienist wasn't nearly as painful as this, dude did not care. THEN, I get to the front desk, and they tell me I still owe $43 from my previous fillings? I pay but tell them I paid in full at my last appointment and she said she "must have let it slip", and that it's such a small amount and can't "catch everything". Okay. I'm done. It's going to cost me WAY more to get this damn tooth fixed because of the filling being so close to the nerve, and I can go elsewhere and get way less painful cleanings/fillings. Do not waste your time or money. They're a mess at this place.

    Unfortunately, I think I'll have to find a new office to attend. I was not made aware that Dr…read more Clodfelter was leaving this practice and my latest visit lacked all of the reasons I ever returned after so many years. The cleaning I had was very non-personable and not very thorough. Plus the office has now become sterile and lacks the small town private-owned vibe that it used to have.
