Phillip Kemp, DDS

Absolutely best dentist I have ever had. Dr. Kemp is extremely meticulous, kind and compassionate and every staff member I’ve encountered has been extraordinarily professional and positive. Office/​clinic area are beautifully decorated, clean and inviting. They have more high-​tech dental gadgetry than I have ever seen at dentist or even knew existed. Also Dr. Kemp has a «Project Smile» charity that he runs outside of ordinary business hours, I don’t know details but heard it is awesome.

Good luck actually seeing the dentist! I’ve been with them for cleanings and some dental work. Most times the dentist steps in for less than a minute, I’ve barely seen his face and he’s gone on to the next person. Once they took x-​rays for an annual visit and there wasn’t even a doctor in the office. Even during my dental procedure he was rarely in the area, his assistant did most of the work.
When I initially started with them I was impressed that they had TVs for each patient to watch while getting their teeth cleaned, and the wait for cleanings is not too long. If your teeth are super healthy and all you need is a cleaning, it’s an okay place to go. The front desk staff are friendly and the billing department are efficient. It runs a little like Willy Wonka. The support staff are friendly, but the dentists are in a rush, I just see $ signs on my forehead when Dr. Kemp looks at me. seems very money driven.

This place is okay. The only issue I have is the actual dentist spends VERY LITTLE TIME with patients and his assistants due all the work except the major drilling. He then shows up for another minute to check their work. Just not a big fan of that process; I also heard the dental assistants complaining they were trying to do the fillings themselves which made me think that was not very standard in other practices.
The dental Hygienist was really good. It’s a nice office and staff has very professional appearance. I am a current patient but will be looking elsewhere for a dentist that is more hands on.

I’m someone who has had horrible dental problems my entire life, so when I moved to Nashville I knew it would only be a short time before I’d have to find help. Dentists can be a scary and sensitive subject, but I got extremely luck on my first try.
The office is located in Maryland Farms and has very soothing atmosphere. Dr. Kemp and his staff are extremely professional and super warm and friendly. They’ll definitely make you feel as comfortable as you can get for being at the dentist office and take the time needed to explain what’s going on and get the work done. Also, they aren’t alarmists here, so no one will send you running off in a panic (I’ve had problems with this before in the past with other dentists). I’d also like to mention that Suzanne is probably the best dental hygienist ever! The entire staff is great, but when you find someone awesome you try and stick with them.
Since I’ve moved here, pretty much my entire family have become clients. I’m glad to know that whenever tooth problems occur, and without question they will for me, I don’t have to worry too much because I’ll be in good hands at Dr Kemp’s office.
