General Dentistry

A very satisfying aspect of what we do at McKay’s Mill Dental is helping our patients feel confident about their smiles. Keeping up with dental care and knowing your smile is as healthy as it can be doesn't just benefit your oral health—it can improve your entire outlook on life.

Dr. Matt Avrit and his dental team focus on delivering exceptional dentistry and patient care with a compassionate, personal touch. Dr. Avrit has been practicing dentistry since 2007, and his patients appreciate his genuinely caring nature and ability to put them at ease during their appointments.

Over the years, he has helped many individuals overcome their fear of visiting the dentist, and we know he can help you too.

We look forward to welcoming your family to our Franklin, TN dental office and would love to help you schedule an appointment. Just give us a call at (615) 595-5959, so we can assist you.

Personalized General Dentistry for All Ages

We treat patients of all ages at McKay's Mill Dental, starting with children's first dental visits around age one all the way to seniors who need help with missing or broken teeth.

Since everyone has unique dental needs, our goal is to learn about yours and determine how we can best help you meet them.

Understanding the factors that affect your decisions about dental treatment—whether it's your family life, career, or financial needs—enables us to create stress-free personalized treatment plans to achieve your healthiest smile.

All the Dental Services Your Family Needs

If your smile is already healthy, we’ll help you avoid cavities and gum disease with routine dental exams and teeth cleanings. Have broken or missing teeth and need solutions to restore function to your smile? We offer tooth fillings, dental crowns, bridges, and dental implants to restore your smile to full health.

General and family dentistry at our Franklin, TN dental office includes:

  • Dental exams and teeth cleanings
  • Tooth-colored fillings
  • Crowns and bridges
  • Gum disease treatment
  • TMJ and bruxism treatment
  • Mouthguards and snore guards
  • Oral cancer screenings
  • Root canals
  • Tooth extraction

Of all these services, dental exams and teeth cleanings every six months are the most crucial. When you stay current with these appointments, practice conscientious oral hygiene at home, and eat healthy, nutritious foods, you can minimize the need for services like fillings, crowns, and root canals. Doing so not only protects your oral health but can also help save money on dentistry over the long term.

Above and beyond routine general dentistry, Dr. Avrit also offers cosmetic dentistry, dental implants, Invisalign clear braces, and traditional orthodontics for children and adults.

We Are Partners with Our Patients

One quality that patients appreciate most about Dr. Avrit is that he doesn't just tell you what you need; using clear language and digital images, he includes you in the decision-making process.

Together, you review digital x-rays and intraoral images so you can visualize a problem like a cavity and understand the benefits of treating it. If there’s more than one treatment option, Dr. Avrit will explain the benefits of each and help you make a confident and informed decision about your dental treatment.

Digital X-Rays

At McKay’s Mill Dental, your family’s comfort and safety are our priorities. We use digital x-rays for several reasons, but mainly because they help reduce your radiation exposure by up to 80 percent compared to film x-rays.

Dental x-rays are essential, and our dentist couldn’t diagnose problems or recommend treatment without them. In addition, digital x-rays show us a lot of important details that we can easily share with you on your chairside monitor.

These high-resolution images pick up details like cavities in their earliest stages, and when you and Dr. Avrit view them together, he can point out these problem areas, and you become part of the process. You can see what he sees, which helps you understand why we recommend treatment and how it benefits you. It's crucial that you understand your dental needs because being informed allows you to make informed, confident decisions about your treatment.

We store all your x-rays securely in your digital patient record so that they’re available for us to view at the touch of a button.

Intraoral Cameras

Our intraoral cameras are the best way for you to understand what’s happening with your oral health. These are small handheld cameras that our dentist uses to show you the same view of your mouth that he sees when performing an exam. Intraoral cameras allow us to capture real-time digital images of your mouth that we then display on your chairside monitor.

You and Dr. Avrit can review the images together as he points out any areas of concern and explains why he recommends treatment.
