A Short Drive From Brentwood, Not a Cross-Town Errand
You spend enough of your week on Franklin Road and I-65. A dental visit should not add another long detour to that list. Our office sits on W Main St just outside downtown Franklin, roughly fifteen minutes south of Brentwood depending on where you start. For most Brentwood families, that is closer than fighting Cool Springs traffic at rush hour.
Parking is simple. You pull up to the building, you walk in, and you are not circling a deck looking for a space. If you work in Maryland Farms or the office parks off Mallory Lane, you can usually fit an early-morning cleaning in before your first meeting. We open at 8:00 AM Monday through Friday, and we keep our schedule on time so your appointment does not eat your whole morning.
Getting Here From Brentwood
From central Brentwood, take Franklin Road (US-31) south toward downtown Franklin. Stay on it as it becomes Main Street, and you reach our building at 1345 W Main St on the west side of town. If you are coming off I-65, exit at Murfreesboro Road or McEwen and cut over to Franklin Road. The drive runs about twelve to eighteen minutes outside of peak hours.
Coming from the Concord Road or Wilson Pike side of Brentwood, take Wilson Pike south to Franklin and connect to Main Street heading west. You land a couple of minutes past the historic downtown square. Patients tell us the route feels shorter than the map suggests, since most of it avoids the I-65 bottleneck near Cool Springs.
What We Handle Under One Roof
We practice comprehensive general and family dentistry. That covers routine cleanings and exams, tooth-colored fillings, crowns, root canals, extractions, and same-day emergency care when a tooth cracks or aches. On the cosmetic side, we place veneers, perform professional whitening, and design full smile makeovers. We also restore missing teeth with implants and implant-supported dentures.
Our diagnostic technology includes low-radiation digital X-rays, 3D cone beam imaging, and intra-oral cameras, so you see what we see on the screen. For anxious patients, we offer complimentary nitrous oxide at every visit and several deeper sedation options. The goal is one practice that handles your family's full range of needs, so you are not referred across town for routine work.
Who Fits Well at Our Practice
We are a strong match for Brentwood families who want one dental home for every age, from a child's first cleaning to a grandparent's implant restoration. We are also a good fit if you have put off care for a while and expect to be lectured about it. We do not do that. There is no judgment and no high-pressure upselling, just a plan you actually agree to.
We may not be the right fit if you need a pediatric-only specialist for a very young child with complex needs, or a full-time oral surgeon for advanced jaw surgery. In those cases we will tell you directly and point you toward the right specialist rather than stretch beyond our scope.
Meet Your Dentists
Dr. Rachel Oates, DDS, owns the practice and decided on dentistry back in the second grade. She earned her biology degree at the University of Georgia and her DDS at the Indiana University School of Dentistry, then practiced in a Chicago pediatric clinic and in private practice across Franklin and Columbia. That range lets her tailor treatment to each patient rather than apply one formula. Outside the office she bakes, hikes with her family, follows college football, and donates time to the Interfaith Dental Clinic and Loaves and Fishes.
You may also see Dr. Nisha Waits, Dr. Lidia Lilly, or Dr. Rose Keeling depending on your schedule. All four practice family and cosmetic dentistry, and all four share the same calm, listen-first approach. Having several dentists on staff means a Brentwood patient can almost always find an appointment that fits a working schedule.

What to Expect During and After Your Visit
Your first visit starts with a conversation, not a drill. We review your history, take digital X-rays and any needed cone beam images, and walk you through what we find using the intra-oral camera. You leave with a clear plan and an honest cost estimate before any treatment begins. New patients can ask about our $149 new patient special.
After a routine cleaning you can drive straight back to Brentwood and return to your day. After fillings or numbing, expect mild soreness for a day or so, which over-the-counter pain relief usually handles. For larger cosmetic or implant work we give you written aftercare and a direct number to call if anything feels off. You will never feel rushed out the door.
Frequently Asked Questions: Brentwood
How long does it really take to get to your office from Brentwood?
A: From most Brentwood neighborhoods the drive runs about twelve to eighteen minutes via Franklin Road south. Coming from the Concord or Wilson Pike area, plan on a similar window using Wilson Pike to Main Street. Mornings before 8:30 move fastest.
Do you take the dental plans common among Brentwood employers?
A: We accept most traditional PPO dental insurance, which covers the large-employer plans many Brentwood and Cool Springs professionals carry. We file the claim for you. If your plan is out of network, ask about our in-house Friends and Family membership plan as an alternative.
Is parking easy, or should I budget extra time like at the Cool Springs offices?
A: Parking here is free and right at the building, so you skip the deck-hunting routine common around Cool Springs. You can usually park and be checked in within a couple of minutes. Budget your time for the drive, not the lot.
Can I book an early appointment before commuting into work in Brentwood or Nashville?
A: Yes. We open at 8:00 AM Monday through Friday, which works well for patients heading into Maryland Farms offices or continuing up I-65 toward Nashville. Early slots fill quickly, so booking a week or two ahead helps.
What should I do for a dental emergency if I live in Brentwood?
A: Call us at (615) 593-9955 as early in the day as you can. We reserve time for same-day emergencies like a cracked tooth, lost crown, or sudden pain. For a knocked-out tooth, keep it moist and head straight here; faster treatment improves the odds of saving it.
