David Pittman, DMD

I wish I could give more than five stars! As someone who does not have dental insurance I was looking for a good deal, but usually that means sacrificing customer service & experience. Not with Dr. Pitman. My husband and I both received amazing care & the best cleanings of our lives — all for a very reasonable out-​of-​pocket price! We are telling all of our friends about Dr. Pittman & cannot recommend him more highly!

A great experience! Going to the dentist always fills me with dread, but this was easy and painless. Just moved to Nashville and needed a new dentist, naturally. Dr. Pittman and his staff are welcoming and thorough and kind.

I couldn’t even wait to leave the parking lot to write this review. I found them on Unilocal,and If I could give them more than 5 stars, I would! This is, hands down, the greatest dentistry practice I have ever encountered. They were unbelievably kind, generous, knowledgable and easy to understand. I was greeted with a smile, and that set the tone for the entire appointment. The hygienist/​tech who tended to me was fantastic and Dr. Pittman is my new favorite! He was just all around fantastic. And, their office is in a great location, is beautifully styled and they even have televisions in the exam rooms! I mean, you really can’t beat that… Seriously, if you are looking for a new dentist, stop your search! This practice is unbelievable and I will forever be grateful for their generosity and kindness.
Additionally, as an uninsured person, they are very affordable. They genuinely care about a patient’s well-​being, and it is apparent in everything they do.

This was without a doubt the most pleasant dental experience I’ve ever had. Pat, my dental hygienist, was so kind and attentive. She demonstrated great care and skill in the way she treated me as a patient. When Dr. Pittman arrived to complete the exam, he said «we like to treat our patients like family». I can say that is exactly how I felt here. I will be coming back for sure.

Dr. Pittman and the entire staff are very friendly and willing to help. The dental hygienists did a good job with the cleaning and were pretty fast. The only thing that could be better is more convenient office hours.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Pittman’s since he opened his practice. Professional, cutting edge technology with a human touch. Great people every one! Would highly them to anyone looking for quality care.

Dr. Pittman and every single staff member that work here are THE BEST. Talk about someone who genuinely loves and has a passion for what they do. You rock Dr. Pittman!!!

I’ve mentioned before in previous reviews, if you give me a compliment about my appearance, I’ll tee hee and love you forever. I’ve also mentioned that, even as a kid, I haven’t minded going to the dentist. I have this thing about teeth. I can’t stop staring at them. Mine. Yours. Everyone’s. So, going to the ‘teeth doctor’ has never been an issue for me. I’m so pleased to report my streak continues as Dr. Pittman’s.
First off, his office is located in a very cool house on 21^st. The parking situation’s a bit wonky but the lot you can’t park in has a pretty patient police office who will direct you where to rest your vehicle. Once you walk in, you should be put at ease. Everyone I’ve encountered in his staff is kind, smiley and extremely friendly. This is exactly the vibe you want to put off in a setting that promotes so much anxiety for so many. Kudos.
After a very short wait time, I was walked to the back and started my appointment was a super friendly assistant/​hygienist. Not only was she chatty when she needed to be and all about business when she needed to be, she made sure I was comfortable in my chair AND had a good view of the TV! Why don’t other dentists think about that? Comfy chair + TV = less anxiety. By the time Dr. Pittman came to examine me, my body was loose. Y’see, even though I don’t fear the dentist, I don’t skip and throw flowers on my way there. My body does tense up but I was sufficiently calm by the time he came over. And, if I wasn’t before, I would have been by the time he left. His demeanor is calm, friendly and very approachable. He has excellent teeth (a must for a dentist), is a UK fan/​grad (a nice plus for this KY native) and is quite adept at what he does. He sufficiently distracted me with conversation that he was done before I even knew what was going on. I know some may think it odd to find one’s dentist on Unilocal but in a metro with so many newcomers (on a daily basis), folks are going to want to find out where to go for medical, dental, dry cleaning, etc. needs. The same place at which you go to find your watering hole can be used to find your medical provider. Look at Dr. Pittman’s review track record: there’s a reason for it. Plus, he complimented me on my teeth & dental hygiene. Tee hee.

Check this out!
I went to a dinner party tonight, ate some sticky candy and two crowns popped off.
Before I EVEN left the establishment, I had Doc Pittman on the phone, telling me to come in tomorrow morning. 10:30 at night and this guy calls me back.
How’s that for service?

My husband and I love Dr. Pittman! He is awesome. His staff is great as well.

Showed up with a dental emergency and this was my first visit since I unfortunately didn’t have a dentist. He got me in that day and was extremely friendly along with his staff. He assessed and made a recommendation, spending time with me to explain what happened and the plan to make it better. Truly excellent ‘bedside manner”.

I’ve been going to Dr. Pittman for about 4 years, and as long as I live here and he is practicing, I won’t be going anywhere else. Having moved around quite a bit, I’ve been to more dentists than I care to count. I’ve seen good, and I’ve seen terrible. Dr. Pittman is the best, no question. His clinic is clean with lots of natural light. They have TV’s so you can space out while they work on your teeth. The staff is super friendly, I love he hygienist I see. She is cheerful and gets my teeth super clean without hurting me. Dr. Pittman always personally checks my teeth out and takes the time to talk with me about not only my teeth, but always asks how I am doing and remembers who I am. I feel very safe in his care, and always recommend him to anyone looking for a dentist.

I chose Dr. Pittman based on Unilocal reviews… risky, I know, especially when we’re talking about teeth. But I was not disappointed. Dr. Pittman was fantastic, the hygenist was great and very thorough. It was as pleasant of an expereience you can have while at the dentist. They were out of my insurance network, so I haven’t gotten the bill yet but it’s worth it to me. Plus, they didn’t try to upsell me on any dental work or procedures.
UPDATE: My bill arrived for my visit and it was $ 4…FOUR DOLLARS!

I hadn’t been to the dentist in… let’s just say «a long time.» I knew I had a cavity. I have out of state dental insurance and did not know what dental offices were covered by my plan, but I called Dr. Pittman’s office (based on my fellow Unilocalers’ reviews!) and Carol on the phone was really helpful. I scheduled a cleaning for the Monday after I called (less than a week!) and she offered to call my insurance company to see if I would be covered.
My hygienist was really nice! She didn’t judge me (too harshly) for not having been in for a cleaning in awhile. We got the insurance sitch straightened out, new X-​rays, clean teeth and only a mild «you need to floss more» lecture. Best part — you can watch TV while your teeth are being cleaned!
Dr. Pittman was really nice and welcomed me to the dental family in his office. He and the hygienist (whose name is escaping me right now!) confirmed my cavity and we made an appointment for two days later. Got it filled and was in and out in less than an hour.
ZOMG I had been SO nervous about finally going to the dentist but it was really painless and actually kind of pleasant!

What a wonderful dentist! Everything was super clean, the hygienists were so thorough and Dr. Pittman was great. I felt like my hygienist was very interested in getting my teeth as clean as they could be.
I highly recommend this dentist to anyone who wants to have a positive experience.

I’m a victim of poor college kid syndrome. You learn to not go to the doctor or dentist for waaaaay too long.
Well, recently I had to do it. So, I found this place on Unilocal and decided to set up an appointment…
I’ll keep it simple, from the time I set up an appointment until I made my final payment it was a pleasurable experience. I would recommend this dentist office to anyone.
Thanks for the help guys.

Dental insurance in full effect: time to find a dentist.
Dr. Pittman has a brand new office that is a kinda tricky to find, but it’s seriously awesome. I guess I was used to my 90 year old dentist who operated on top of a drug store with stone age tools back in Cincinnati, but LCD TV’s while getting your teeth cleaned? Whoever thought of this was a genius. The entire place has a very modern feel to it, and his staff are all super friendly. Dr. Pittman took time to show me the x-​rays on the screen and explain what means what and explained his idea of running a dental office like a family. Which is better than any experience I have ever had.
All in all, top of the line equipment, great staff, and a personable dentist who speaks English and not dental jargon make this place my new dental office. If you gotta get your teeths worked on or cleaned, I recommend this place.

So no one should love going to the dentist, but seriously… this guy is the bomb! After being scared witless by the strip mall chain dentist places and the high end ‘let us fix every micro cavity in your head’ dentist, this place is like wonderland. The staff is amazing and Dr. Pittman is crazy good. He even came in on his day off to fix a friend from out of town’s broken temporary filling (who does that??). Prices are super reasonable — important because we opted out of our dental insurance and he never pressures you to do anything. Except floss.
