Dr. Bratten has been named to Top Dentist in Nashville for the 8th consecutive year as published in Nashville Lifestyles Magazine. Voted by his peers in Dentistry, 2011-2018.
Services
Dr. Bratten was born and grew up in Smyrna. His entire professional career has been spent in his hometown. He has been active in youth sports, Rutherford County boards and his professional organizations. He was chairman of two county boards and on the state board of the Academy of General Dentistry.
While at our office, we make sure that you receive the highest level of service and ensure that our dental work is of the highest quality. To ensure that you maintain great oral health, this level of quality needs to extend into your personal oral hygiene routine. We can help you establish a dental hygiene routine that will keep your teeth healthy and white.
Veneers are an excellent way to redesign and reshape your entire mouth. Veneers are a very thin ceramic shell that covers your existing tooth structure. In placing these new veneers on your teeth, you are able to fix the look of issues such as staining, cracked teeth, spaces, misaligned teeth, chipped teeth and many other issues.
Keeping our teeth their whitest is a lot harder than it sounds. With all the coffee, wine, smoking and other foods that have the ability to stain our teeth on a daily basis, even proper maintenance sometimes leaves them a little lackluster. Teeth whitening is an excellent way to restore the natural color of your teeth or even make them whiter than your natural color if you would like.
Snap-On Smile is a great product for those looking to makeover their smile without undergoing extensive dental procedures. It works exactly like it sounds, a new set of "teeth" are created that are placed over your current teeth by snapping them in place. You can have a beautiful new smile in just two quick and painless visits to our office.

Dr BRATTEN and staff put the nervous dental woes in me at ease. I had my first visit yesterday and the online reviews for this dentist did not disappoint. It’s not often that a dentist can earn my trust let alone on the first meeting. Every member of the staff contributed to my great experience. What a relief! I may end up with a healthy smile after all.

When people love what they do, it reflects in their services to their clients. Everyone in this office is top notch and so professional. From the moment you walk in, until the time you leave, the treatment is exceptional. I trust Dr. Brattens dental care and advice on how to care for my teeth. If you want the best in dental care, I highly recommend him and his team.

I moved her about two years ago and researched dentist in my area. Dr. Bratten appeared to be the best based on reviews and health grades. Since that time he has done a crown and a root canal. The ratings on how great he is are an understatement. I just had a root canal and literally could have fallen asleep - completely painless. I have moved a lot over my life and have had a least 20 different dentist; Dr. Bratten is by far the best dentist I have ever had. His staff is awesome too!
