Belle Meade Family Dentistry

Thank God for Linda Floyd, the best dental hygienist ever!

Just moved here from Baltimore, MD. I had originally signed up for another dentist that was within my insurance network, however after several people told me to steer clear I did some research and found BMFD at the top of several lists.
This place is great and within the Aetna Network (for any Vanderbilt Post Docs or employees). I called Monday morning and they were able to see me by Wednesday. I met with Dr. Sullivan and had a few concerns about my teeth. He patiently addressed all my questions and was extremely thorough. The practice uses a camera and tv monitor to show you each part of your mouth and bite as they talk about it. I am not a nervous person in a dentist office but I imagine this would be the best place for someone who is — Everyone is all extremely friendly and chatty.
Highly recommend!

Dr James Pace, Jr. is such a wonderful dentist. He is kind, polite, informative and works with speed and precision. Compared to all of the dentist I have visited during my lifetime handsdown he is the very best at administering novocaine… never any discomfort! wow!

Amazing dentist! Everyone was so kind and helpful and my hygienist was so gentle and sweet. I had a terrible experience at another dentist office and Belle Meade Family Dentistry completely restored my faith!

Great experience — everyone was fabulous and thorough. I’ve been looking for a great dental practice since I moved to the area, and I finally found the place.

This place is amazing! Even though my insurance was not in their network they still took me in for free consultation and X-​rays! The doctor himself spend so much time figuring out what’s best treatment for me! I highly recommend this place to everyone! Great people to work with

Great dental experience! Friendly & profession with state of the art equipment. Def would recommend!

My son attends Vanderbilt and called me with severe tooth pain. I called Belle Meade Dental and they were able to see him within the hour. Misty was kind and accommodating and was even able to get my insurance information before he came so he wouldn’t have to worry about it. Dr. Sullivan was knowledgeable and was able to diagnose my son quickly. I can’t tell you how relieved my husband and I were to have Belle Meade Dental in our time of need. He will be back!

I have been seeing Dr Pace for my teeth since 1990. He is fantastic. My dental hygienist has always been Linda Floyd. She is wonderful. They have taken good care of me and my teeth for 25 years and I’ve had only one cavity!!!

5 stars is huge for me and a dentist office! Belle Meade is a great dental office! They take their time and put a patient’s comfort at the top of their priority list! Dr Sullivan explained everything clearly and the staff was knowledgeable and friendly. They understood that I did not enjoy dental work and approached me not with judgement but with patience and kindness!

Everything went smoothly and my visit was great. Dr Sullivan was knowledgeable and informative as always. We are happy patients.

Very friendly! I went in for a ortho consult. I was provided options and they set expectations for how long the process would take. Everyone was friendly and professional. I plan to use them as my dentist as well as for my Invisalign.

Nice atmosphere, terrific, friendly, professional staff and of course The Doctors exceed expectations. We’re in good hands!

Belle Meade Family Dental is the absolute best
I have been going for 25 years
Efficient, painless, caring
They respect your time
Hygienist Keitha is awesome

I have been a patient at Belle Meade Dentistry for almost 2 years. Dr. Pace Jr. is superb! He is very fastidious and professional. Belle Meade Family Dentistry is the only option for dental health in Nashville for me. Emmy is one of the assistants and she always asks if I’m doing ok while being worked on. She is a delight to be around. I would give them 10 stars!

Dr. Pace did an amazing job on filling my two front teeth today! It looks like I never had anything wrong with them. You want your Dentist to strive for perfection and it shows in his work he certainly does. Everyone who works in the office is nice and creates a happy, professional atmosphere when one comes in for their Dental needs. Thanks and happy to be a patient here!

My husband and I moved to Nashville last August, and we needed a new dentist. After hours of research and review reading, we chose Belle Meade Dentistry, and we had our first appointments last October.
The staff are friendly, the office is clean and organized and the dentist is punctual. (Nothing bothers me more than having to wait on the doctor or dentist when I’m on time for my appointment.)
Dr. Pace Jr is very friendly and attentive. He’s young, but he’s still very knowledgable and professional. Going to the dentist is never a pleasant experience, but they make you as comfortable as possible. They even sent us a hand signed welcome/​thank you letter after our first visit which was a nice, personal touch. I’ve never had a dentist do that before.
Since our initial cleanings, I’ve gone back for 2 cavity fillings, and my husband is having a crown put on on Monday. Belle Meade will be the place we continue to go for all our dental needs.

Let me start by saying I have a dentist phobia, but I now feel confident and am okay with going and making it a regular part of my health régime.
That’s a big deal, guys.
I really like that I wasn’t pressured at all during my entire visit to make any rash decisions. They gave me options and discussed them thoroughly. They made me feel very comfortable and I’m actually excited to have a relationship with this business for my family.
I’m very happy and they took good care of me.

I saw Linda this morning for the 6 month cleaning and check up. It is very conveient for me because she offers early morning hours. Linda always is professional and courteous, she explains everything to me, She has a goodie bag she gives to promote excellant tooth/​oral care which I appreciate very much. Dr. Pace follows my care. This dentistry offers excellant services and recommend them every time I get a chance!

Proceed with caution.
I was new in town and visited BMFD in November based on Unilocal reviews and saw Dr. L. Temp Sullivan. Dr. Sullivan informed me that I had 3 cavities that needed to be filled.
I was immediately suspicious because I haven’t had a cavity in 15 years and had made no changes to my dental habits.
So I got a second opinion from another dentist, and that dentist confirmed that I had NO cavities.
