Jackson Smiles Family Dentistry

Jackson Smiles Family Dentistry: family dentistry in Jackson, Tennessee

Jackson Smiles Family Dentistry is a dental clinic located in Jackson, Tennessee, serving patients of all ages. Dr. Neil Patel has been the owner and primary dentist at the practice since 2015. The clinic presents itself as a comprehensive family dentistry service, with a focus on comfort, patient education, and personalized care.

Preventive and diagnostic services

The clinic's offerings include cleanings and exams, gum therapy, athletic mouthguards, nightguards for bruxism, dental sealants, fluoride treatments, and oral cancer screenings. The first appointment typically lasts between one hour and ninety minutes, during which teeth, gums, and jaw are examined, bite alignment is checked, and X-rays are taken to assess structural health.

Restorative dentistry and oral surgery

Restorative treatments include dental fillings, crowns, dentures, bridges, dental implants, wisdom teeth removal, oral surgery, root canals, bone graft procedures, and dental extractions. The clinic notes that Dr. Patel prioritizes conservative treatments when possible; if a tooth can be repaired with a filling, it is restored, and if the damage is more extensive, an implant is considered as an alternative.

Cosmetic dentistry

Cosmetic services include Invisalign®, porcelain veneers, and teeth whitening. The clinic also offers a virtual smile consultation to evaluate these treatments.

Technology and equipment

The practice uses a Medit i500 intraoral scanner and intraoral cameras that allow the inside of the mouth to be viewed on screen and digital impressions to be taken, avoiding the use of traditional impression pastes. The clinic notes that these tools streamline appointments and improve the precision and comfort of procedures.

Emergencies and children's care

The clinic sets aside time each day for dental emergencies and offers same-day emergency visits for the whole family. In case of severe trauma or heavy bleeding, it recommends calling 911. For children, the team is described as gentle and trained, and family-block appointments are offered to treat multiple children in a single visit or back to back.

Payments, insurance, and in-house plan

Jackson Smiles Family Dentistry accepts a range of insurances and offers an in-house dental plan, the Jackson Smiles Dental Plan, aimed at patients without insurance or with insufficient coverage. This plan offers discounts on services for a reduced annual fee, with no waiting periods, no deductibles, and no annual maximums. Cherry and CareCredit are also accepted, allowing treatment costs to be split into low monthly payments.

The clinic serves families in Jackson and nearby communities such as Oakfield, Humboldt, Huntersville, and Henderson, as well as the Henderson County area.
