Thomas W Nabors, DDS

Hip office. Paraffin hand wax treatment if you choose– cool.
When I called to make my appointment, they told me they accepted my insurance, only to have them tell me towards the end of the appt that they «accept» all insurance, but they’re only in network with one kind of insurance. Tricky tricky. My fault for not double checking on my end I guess. My bill was almost $ 800 for an upgraded teeth cleaning that they recommended. The Hygienist also recommended that I buy a water pick through them and didn’t look or act thrilled when I told her I’d find it on Amazon.
Unfortunately, I cannot suggest this place.

I doubt you could ever find a better dentist. Dr. Nabors has fixed problems created by other dentists (and my neglect) with a very professional team that are caring and highly competent. He has gently assisted my wife to overcome her extreme dental phobia to the point where dental work is no big thing. They are absolutely the best we have ever encountered.

Dr Nabors and his staff are all excellent. Today my visit was a routine cleaning and check-​up. Tosha Kozloski, my dental hygienist, is always pleasant, professional, efficient, and thorough. She stays on schedule but still takes the necessary time with each patient. She maintains a warm, friendly demeanor throughout one’s visit, and she performs her duties skillfully. I recommend Ms. Kozloski, Dr. Nabors and his entire office wholeheartedly.

Best dentist’s office ever.
I’ve been to more than a few dentists, lived in quite a few cities across the country, am not great about taking care of my teeth, usually don’t have dental insurance, and have never had a lot of money. Got a big beard but never get mistaken for a hipster, if you know what I’m saying. Nevertheless, Dr. Nabors and his terrific staff treat me like I’m Johnny Cash and Henry Ford reincarnated when I visit their office. (Dr. Nabors is a gearhead at heart and would spend all day talking cars if his staff didn’t keep him in line).
So even though we’re not rockstars or tv stars like all those who have signed photos or guitars on display in the office, we sure are treated well. I can and have just walked into the office in the middle of a random day to change an appointment for my wife and didn’t need to give either of our names. I just can’t say enough about this great office. They offer all kinds of procedures and will give you a dental plan that describes everything available from basic to cosmetic, but NEVER push you into anything beyond your budget or try to upsell you. The office and equipment are spotless and modern and it feels more like a spa than a dentist.
When was the last time you looked forward to going to the dentist? Or felt great leaving the dentist? Or kept a dentist’s business cards on you so you can recommend a dentist to friends and Nashville newcomers?
Like I said, best dentist’s office ever.

If you’re looking for a great dentist, look no further. I’ve done all the research for you. My journey began 15 years ago when I had to have a bridge. After getting it done wrong three times, I decided I needed to see several dentists before making this costly commitment again. It’s a lot of money and I didn’t realize that all dentists weren’t created equal. It takes a skillful dentist to do great work. A lot them have the cosmetic title by their business’ name, but they can’t produce great cosmetic work.
When I finally met Dr Nabors, I was impressed initially by the staff and doctor’s knowledge; it was like he was reading my mind, my concerns, my wants and needs. He addressed most in the first few visits. He had to correct years of bad dentistry from other dentists, so I knew it would be very challenging.
With the other dentists I visited, it seemed something was off in one way or another. Either the doctor was nice, but the staff was rude, or the doctor did horrible work but the staff was nice. I just couldn’t get a good fit. That was not the case here. As one of the reviewers said below about Dr. Nabors: «top notch all the way.» His assistant Kayla is a dream, such a sweet girl and these two make a fantastic team. At the end, my work was done fast and right. I was extremely pleased. My dream of having a great smile finally came true, thanks to Dr Nabors and his staff. I wished I had met him sooner. It would have saved me years of heartache and tons of money. I would give him, his staff and his office environment 10 stars if that was an option. :)

Amazing. Andrea is the best. She was gentle with my cleaning and so welcoming as soon as i got there. Big screens paraffin wax coffee tea… must i go on. I will recommend then to everyone I know. I would give 10 stars if I could. LOVE THEM.

Who enjoys going to the dentist? We can agree not many and for most individuals going to or even the thought about the dentist often brings on anxiety or fear. Oral health is important and routine check-​ups are essential in maintaining overall health that is the reason I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Nabors.
There are a few things I expect from a dentist office-​professionalism, office presentation & etiquette, cleanliness, discuss costs upfront (I don’t like surprises), knowledgable & willingness to answer any questions I may ask, up-​to-​date technology, and how the make their patients comfortable.
I called Dr. Nabors office to schedule an appointment & spoke with Kellye, who was pleasant & friendly. I was given an appointment for the next day. Kellye was able to send the new patient forms, directions to the office, & valet parking instructions by email.
When I arrived check-​in was quick and easy. The wait room was set up nicely with office photo albums, magazines, educational materials, & complimentary snacks, coffee, tea, and bottled water. I waited approximately 10 minutes before being introduced to Andrea, the Dental Hygienist, who escorted me back to the clinic area. Andrea began by giving me a tour of the state of the art clinic. I have never had a tour before & to my surprise the clinic was immaculate.
My 90 minute visit consisted of a consultation, examination, pictures & x-​rays, & a basic cleaning. I enjoyed television throughout the process with earbuds available if preferred. Andrea constantly asked if I was comfortable and needed anything such as; a blanket or water. During my cleaning I enjoyed a paraffin wax treatment for my hands. It was so relaxing. Andrea was knowledgeable and explained everything before and during the process. When everything was complete Dr. Nabors introduced himself, reviewed my x-​rays & offered his recommendations to relieve my tooth sensitivity. Other than that; no additional problems, concerns, & I am still cavity free.
I was pleased with my cleaning results and overall experience that I decided to schedule my six month check up. Dr. Nabors & his staff exceeded my expectations.

Excellent downtown location, convenient to work, consistently great dental care. I’ve been a patient since this office first opened and have always been pleased.

I went to this office for a cleaning and ask specifically if my insurance was accept, they told me yes. I even asked 3 different girls in the office at different times during my visit and was told yes, 100%. The dental assistant suggested and upgrade in my cleaning that would cost $ 30, and I asked her what my total out of pocket cost would be for the cleaning. She said $ 30 because my insurance covers 100% of the cleaning. I was specifically told $ 30 by her and then I received a bill in the mail for an additional $ 90. So when I called to question someone in the office told me that my cleaning was covered at 100% but only up to a certain amount and this office charges so much more for a basic cleaning that the whole cleaning was not covered. Either I was lied to by the office staff or they never bothered to check my insurance. This is a rip off and no way to do business…

Dr. Nabors and his wonderful staff always make the dentist experience as easy and stress free as possible. They are incredibly professional and truly do everything they can to make sure you are comfortable while there. I would recommend Dr. Nabors to anyone looking for a dentist.

Lovely offices and personalized care. Top-​notch expertise and environment. Dr. Nabors and his awesome team are why we choose our neighborhood dentist over the doc in a box: there is a level of personalized care that can’t be beat! Drive the extra mile and see Dr. Nabors & team for your next dental check up and treatment.

After a bad experience at a different dentist office, I will ONLY go to Dr. Nabors. They go above and beyond what is expected and I can rest easy knowing I’m well taken care of :)

Exceptional care and professionalism by Dr Nabors and his entire staff. Whereas many other dentists have suggested more invasive procedures because of ease, Dr. Nabors, with his innovative expertise and knowledge has taken care to preserve my teeth. Extremely satisfied and happy with the care. I do not live in Tennessee and it is well worth my drive or flight and time and money to be seen by him and his whole support staff team.

The other day I was biting into a mary jane candy without a care in the world. Then I realized I chipped my tooth !!! No, this couldn’t be happening to me ! Not the day before my trip to Nashville ! I called my dentist and the receptionist informed me she is not there and it would have to wait till I came back home. I thought I was doomed.
After, arriving in Nashville I went on Unilocal and found this dentists office. I called them and I was scheduled within an hour to come in and have this checked out !
The dentist checked out my tooth and fixed what needed to be done. Luckily it was a very slight chip nothing to serious. I walked out of this office in the greatest mood and ready to enjoy my Nashville visit.
Everyone here is so nice and incredibly friendly. They even took me on a tour and showed me the office. They have huge flat screen tv’s, blankets, and hand massages while you are having your dental work done. They do crowns and all the same day inside the office. They have there lab right there. Very convenient ! I found there price to fix my tooth completely reasonable. I wish I lived closer !

I know it’s shameful, but I went over 10 years without going to the dentist. I didn’t have any problems (or dental insurance) so I just didn’t feel the need. Well… turns out I had 4 cavities :/​In the past, I dreaded dentist visits. Dr. Nabors has such a gentle touch, not even the needle hurt! And it was affordable enough that I could pay with cash. If I had known that going to the dentist didn’t have to be scary I would’ve gone years ago. Now I’m in every 6 months for a cleaning like a good little girl and everything is great! Andrea is my hygienist and she is gentle as well. I’m a big baby and she deals with the weird faces I make. She also whitens my teeth and they look sparkly and stay white for months after! The office staff is always friendly and accommodating. Love this place!

Trisha is great! The entire staff is very friendly and helpful. A very enjoyable experience!

I didn’t have any problems with services provided but they very aggressively pushed services that wetter not covered by dental plan. Super pushy.

After I broke a tooth on the weekend, I called on Monday as a new patient and got in right away early Tuesday. Dr. Nabors carefully explained all my options, including retaining what is still a very strong tooth (cracked by a previous dentist’s poorly crafted upper onlay). His office is able to mill onlays *on site* using a computerized scan of your teeth! The onlay repair was perfect. I am extremely pleased with his staff, the work, and his demeanor and willingness to discuss details of the options with me.
