About Midtown Smiles
Dr. Watson draws a notable share of patients transferring mid-treatment from other offices, alongside cosmetic work like veneers and implants described as life-changing.
Midtown Smiles is a general dental practice that also offers Invisalign, TMJ treatment, and retainers alongside its broader dental services. Reviews often mention Dr. Watson taking on patients who are transferring mid-treatment from elsewhere, and a good number of adults come here for cosmetic and restorative work such as veneers, implants, and bite correction, which reviewers describe as producing natural-looking, sometimes life-changing results. Some reviews also note the office accommodates same-day emergencies and holiday repairs. A few reviews mention billing confusion around out-of-network status or unexpected charges for cleanings, and a handful describe feeling pushed toward treatments like veneers or an appliance they hadn't sought out.

I’ve gone to this dentist twice for cleanings so far. The first time they took extensive pictures and X-rays, which made me feel like they really cared about my health. The second time I was in for a cleaning I got the same hygienist, who was really nice. She cleaned my teeth quickly and effectively and I was off to start my day at work!

Yal.....I loved it here, from walking in being greeted with a smile to meeting the lovely assistants and the hilarious dentist. They ALL do and did a fantastic job. I haven't been to the dentist in many many years sadly but choosing these guys was a great choice, I felt very comfortable, I've always been a shy type quiet person, they made me feel right at home. I had a broken tooth that got fixed and my couple of cavities filled, I'm EXTREMELY grateful and pleased. Can't wait to tell my coworker who was also looking for a dentist about my great experience. Thankyou all for a great experience 😁🫶🏽

My husband, adult son and I are very happy patients of Dr Watson and his team. Routine care, implant, Invisalign, we've had it all and love the atmosphere as well as the front desk folks. I'm over 70 and have seen tons of dentists, a few endodontists and an orthodontist so it takes a great dentist experience to impress me!

This was a new dentist office for me since moving to the Nashville area. Everyone is very personable and kind while being professional and caring. Everything was explained to me well throughout the whole process. I was really impressed with Dr. Watson. He takes the time to review everything and answer any questions without making you feel rushed. He has great bedside manner and is well versed in what he does. I felt very comfortable in this office, they have an outstanding and welcoming team. I would recommend Midtown Smiles to anyone seeking dentistry in the area.
