Thanks for dropping by our website and checking out our blog! Here at Petty Dental, we love to communicate with our patients (and potential patients), so you can look forward to finding lots of good information here about how to take the best care of your teeth. For now, though, we thought we’d take the opportunity to introduce ourselves and our practice. We hope you’ll choose us as your family dentist in Tullahoma!
Our Dentist
Dr. John Petty leads the team of talented dental professionals in our office. He has been practicing dentistry for decades, and each year he continues to hone is skills via continuing education courses. He is a Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry and has been the recipient of many other professional honors.
While his credentials are outstanding, what truly makes Dr. Petty a remarkable dentist is the kind and empathetic manner in which he treats his patients. He never overbooks himself in an effort to make more money, and you can always expect him to slow down and take the time to answer all your questions about your treatment and your oral health. To Dr. Petty and the rest of our staff, you are a person — not just a set of teeth.
Our Services and Technology
We offer a wide range of dental services, all of which have the goal of helping you to achieve a beautiful, healthy smile. In addition to basic preventive and restorative services, we offer TMJ/TMD therapy, dental implant restorations, periodontal therapy, emergency dentistry, and more. We also welcome children into our office, so the whole family can come to us to receive top-notch dental care.
Dr. Petty is a great dentist who offers a gentle, compassionate touch, but we understand that no matter how skilled a dentist may be, you might experience some anxiety during your appointment. That’s why we offer nitrous oxide sedation to help you stay relaxed while we’re working on your pearly whites.
The technology in our office also plays a big role in enhancing your experience with us. Digital X-rays help us to reduce your exposure to radiation. With our cavity detection system, we can spot even the earliest signs of tooth decay. Our intraoral cameras allow us to show you exactly what is going on in your mouth so you can feel confident about your treatment plan.
