The new owner of Center For Advanced Dentistry, Dr. Mckinnon Forbes has done several procedures on me when was practicing in North Carolina and I must say that Dr. Forbes has greatly exceeded my expectations. I still travel to Nashville to his new office to see him. After having dental procedures by a variety of dentists in the past, I found Dr. Forbes to be extremely knowledgeable, gentle and explained my options in a manner that was understandable while not being pushy. Dr. Forbes has a great demeanor and chairside manner and I am exceedingly happy with the results of his work.

Seriously the best! Dr. White and his team do an outstanding job educating and caring for our dental needs. I saw Dawn last week and the experience couldn't have been better- from the blanket and neck pillow to the thorough cleaning and good conversation. Grateful!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Dr. white changed my husband's life, from a childhood tmj disorder, and went thru a list of dentists this year until July 2019, Dr white is the only dr. who took time in listening to our needs, we came for one thing, to get the tmj get resolved but dr. white made sure he gave my husband a holistic peace of mind, ever since dr. white I have not heard any complaints, my husband doesn't night grind if he does I can't hear it, he always had teeth issues, my husband has perfect smiles now, it changed my husband's outlook in life, he is more out going and sociable, it's like a new husband . Dr White is my HERO! if anyone has questions about this feel free to comment on this review.

Dr White and his staff are like extended family to us. They have been great with all our dental needs and some of them have been complicated. He is an amazing dentist and uses the most advanced, least evasive technology. We love Advanced Dentistry.

First, I want to say that aside from brushing and flossing my teeth, I had not been to a dentist in quite a while. I was referred to Dr. White by a family member and was a new patient. From the moment that I walked into the office, I was pleasantly greeted with smiling faces from Melissa and Gretchen. Also Paige, the hygienist came up front and greeted me as well. They were very genuine and kind.
The office atmosphere was beautiful and relaxing. After a brief wait, it was my turn. Dr. White came in to introduce himself and talk with me. He was very knowledgeable and humble, with a very good sense of humor. After x-rays, pictures and a consultation with both Paige and Dr. White, Paige began her work on me. I can say that I have never had as good of a teeth cleaning. Paige was very thorough. Everything, from the moment that I walked in, until I left, went very smoothly.
I had an extremely excellent experience. I am looking forward to my next appointment. Thank you so much Melissa, Paige, Gretchen and Dr. White! I have found my new dental practice. Dr. Kent White and his staff at The Center for Advanced Dentistry.

I was very fortunate to have good dental care as a child and into my adult years. As someone who is very interested in their health, I recognize that it all starts with one's dental health. The mouth is not only a reflection of one's health status, it is also an origin. With that foundation of understanding, I can without equivocation state that Dr. White and his team share this understanding and philosophy.
If that were not enough, they also have skills and knowledge that are second to none in advanced dentistry. I have had several procedures done by Dr. White, and his staff. Each time I am amazed and impressed by their quality of work. Never one to rest on their laurels, Dr. White and his staff are constantly working to improve themselves personally and professionally. I have nothing but praise for their practice. If you want a team of professionals who are as interested in your oral health as you are, then give them a try. You will be happy you did.

What a great practice! I inherited Dr. White when my dentist retired. I had no idea the wonderful journey we were about to begin. From the staff to the technology to Dr. White's knowledge - it's not your average "visit every 6 month" experience by any means. They truly want you to have the best and healthiest mouth you possibly can. I'd recommend him to anyone.

I have been amazed at the excellent service from the office of Dr. Kent White. The service is excellent from public relations, appointments, dental hygienic cleanings and especially Dr. White's "Advanced Knowledge" of how to have and keep a healthy mouth. His dentistry knowledge and compassion surpasses all past dental experiences. I have never had an issue that is negative with anyone at this office. I applaud the hard work, kindness and the understanding of everyone at The Center F or Advanced Dentisry. Sincerely and with Gratitude, Christy A. Mitchell

I went so unsure of what to expect Cannot tell you what a wonderful experience it has been beginning with the receptionist to Dawn and Dr. White. So professional and caring. Been going for a month and Im so excited with the work so far. A great group. I highly recommend. Have a new smile and confidence that I havent had in years.

I was told I would need to take out one of my upper right molars due to severe decay and I wanted to get a second opinion to see if it could be saved. I had also gone through braces to correct a lot of problems and I noticed I was chipping some of my front teeth and they were uneven. I knew this was to only get worse as I aged. It was after a consultation with Dr. White that I came to realize a lot of things could be further corrected and/or changed in only a couple of visits.
I was allowed time to evaluate my options and I chose to completely redo my entire mouth in one visit!"
I saved my upper molar, corrected my cross bite, removed my silver fillings and had my smile restored and temporized all in one morning! It was amazingly painless and nice to accomplish so much at one time."
Correct Jaw Position Neuromuscular Dentistry (NMD) differs from common dental practices. Traditionally and currently, dentists tend to focus on the teeth and joints. The neuromuscular approach goes further and bases much of its success on getting the muscles and nerves to coexist correctly between your teeth and joints
