Discover the Joy of Happy Visits

Our daughter's first visit  went so well, she didn't want to leave! The office is super clean and the waiting room is setup to actually be fun for kids. Both the hygienist and dentist were so fantastic and made our somewhat hesitant daughter feel super comfortable. She's already excited to go back for her next cleaning.

Dana D.

My daughter had a great first dental cleaning! Dr. Barnes and her staff are very inviting and friendly. Made her feel comfortable and relaxed.

Kelly C.

Exceptional care! The team was friendly and efficient. All of the staff and Dr Barnes went above and beyond to make sure my little guy comfortable throughout the entire process.

Carolyn B.

Dr. Barnes was SO friendly. She was great with our autistic son and he loves going. He actually let her brush his teeth. Our hygienist was also great, she was so sweet. We will be coming back for sure.

Andrew B.

I had to find a new dentist due to change in insurance. I went through 2 before I found Songbird. Dr. Barnes is AMAZING! She did really well with my kids. Came up with a dental plan that wasn't all about profit. She pointed out things that no one had ever caught. Including a tongue tie that even Vanderbilt Speech Therapy missed. I am very thankful I found this office! I highly recommend.

Elaine B.

Dr. Barnes and her staff were so amazing with my daughter! They were friendly, gentle, and made her feel so comfortable. Before we got to the office she was nervous for her first visit to the dentist. But by the time she left she had a big smile on her face and was not scared of the dentist. Highly recommended!!
