Accent Smile Center

Cosmetic dentistry - dental veneers, teeth whitening, smile makeover, tooth bonding, gummy smile treatment, facial rejuvenation.

Restorative dentistry - tooth fillings, dental crowns and bridges, dental implants, All-on-X dental implants, Same-Day Smile.

Oral surgery - tooth removal and extractions.

Other - TMJ treatment and teeth grinding, migraine and headache solutions, sleep apnea, dental emergencies, and relieving dental anxiety.

Several of these go beyond routine dentistry. Frenectomy and tongue-tie treatment is done for infants and children with feeding or speech difficulties. Sleep apnea treatment means dental appliances as an alternative to CPAP. Migraine and headache solutions and TMJ treatment address jaw-related head pain. All-on-X is full-arch implant work, and Same-Day Smile means teeth fitted in a single visit.

The site publishes sedation choices for anxious patients.

The site does not publish orthodontics or clear aligners, root canal treatment, dentures or periodontal surgery as named services, and publishes no prices.

So which insurance plans are accepted, whether the practice is in-network with any of them, whether financing such as CareCredit is available, and what any treatment costs are all not established by the website.

The practice does say it takes budget into account in planning treatment: "We want to take how they're mentally feeling, how they're physically feeling, budget, all of it into account."

To ask about cost, insurance or payment, the published contacts are 615-285-6922 for the Dickson office at 320 East College Street, Suite A, Dickson, TN 37055, or 629-299-1566 for Belle Meade at 4515 Harding Pike, Suite 312, Nashville, TN 37205. A general number, 615-740-7645, also appears on the site, and there are "Request an Appointment" forms for each location.

The site does not publish a new patient offer or promotion.

Belle Meade - 4515 Harding Pike, Suite 312, Nashville, TN 37205 - 629-299-1566 Monday to Thursday: 7:50 a.m. - 5 p.m., with lunch 1 p.m. - 2 p.m.

The site says

"We are open Monday through Friday, with hours to accommodate almost any schedule."

Two practical differences

only Dickson is open on Fridays, and it closes at 1 p.m. that day. Belle Meade opens earlier, at 7:50 a.m., but closes for lunch between 1 and 2 p.m. and publishes no Friday hours.

Neither office publishes weekend hours.

A general phone number, 615-740-7645, also appears on the site.

The site has "Request an Appointment" pages for each location, a "Find a Location" page, office tour pages and patient resources.

The site does not publish how far ahead appointments book, appointment lengths, a cancellation policy, or whether walk-ins are accepted.

In the practice's own words on its approach to patients: "I want patients to feel like they're the center of our universe when they're here... We want to take how they're mentally feeling, how they're physically feeling, budget, all of it into account and just make them feel comfortable and not stressed or overwhelmed."

Dental emergencies is a published service at both offices, with its own page.

The site does not publish which sedation types are offered - oral sedation, nitrous oxide or IV sedation - who administers them, whether an escort is needed afterwards, additional cost for sedation, what counts as a dental emergency, whether emergency patients are seen the same day, or any after-hours emergency arrangements. Those are answered by calling 615-285-6922 for Dickson or 629-299-1566 for Belle Meade.

Each has an individual page on the site.

Dr. Gatgens appears under both locations, so he works across the two offices, while Dr. Densmore is listed for Dickson and Dr. Pitts for Belle Meade.

Each office also has its own "Meet the Team" and "Tour the Office" pages.

Patient testimonials on the site name Dr. Densmore in connection with a sleep apnea dental appliance and Dr. Greene in connection with a crown, and name hygienists Paige and Audrey - though Dr. Greene does not appear among the dentists listed in the site's navigation.

The site does not publish, on its main pages, each dentist's credentials, dental school, years in practice, specialisms or board certifications - those are on the individual dentist pages. It does not state which dentist to ask for, or which languages the team speaks.

Ask anyway — the agent will say plainly that it is not published rather than guess.
