We are accepting new patients!
If you're dealing with jaw pain, clicking, headaches, or a bite that never feels quite right, you know how hard it can be to find someone who treats TMJ disorders every day. Brentwood Dental & TMD, located on Virginia Way near the Maryland Farms area, is a TMJ dentist that patients trust from well beyond Brentwood itself. Families drive in from Franklin, Nolensville, Belle Meade, Spring Hill, Murfreesboro, and Nashville because focused TMJ care is worth the trip. Wherever you're coming from, we'll map out the easiest route and get you comfortable again.
Franklin
Franklin sits just south of us down US-31 — Franklin Road — a straight nine-mile shot that takes about fifteen minutes door to door, or a touch longer if you'd rather hop on I-65. For a historic town that takes pride in doing things thoughtfully, it makes sense that Franklin patients tend to find their way to a TMD specialist rather than settling for a generic bite splint. Dr. Holmes builds every appliance around an accurate diagnosis, not a one-size-fits-all mold, which is exactly why so many people who’ve “already tried a night guard” end up here. The short drive north is a small price for getting the diagnosis right the first time.

Nolensville
Head southeast from the office and Nolensville is only about eleven miles away — roughly a twenty-minute drive whether you take Concord Road across or wind down Wilson Pike and Split Log Road through the countryside. As one of the fastest-growing small towns in the region, Nolensville has plenty of young families and busy professionals who grind their teeth through stressful weeks without realizing that’s the source of their morning headaches. That connection between clenching, bruxism, and facial pain is squarely Dr. Holmes’ territory, and his use of MRI and 3D diagnostic imaging means the cause gets pinpointed rather than guessed at. For a quick trip over, Nolensville patients get answers that have eluded them for years.

Belle Meade
Belle Meade lies just northwest of Brentwood on Nashville’s west side — an easy run up I-65 and out along Harding Pike (US-70S) that keeps you off the busiest stretches of downtown. Patients from this established, discerning community don’t tend to settle, and when it comes to jaw pain or unexplained ear and facial pressure, they want a clinician who can tell the difference between a true migraine and a TMD masquerading as one. Dr. Holmes has built his reputation on exactly that kind of careful differential diagnosis, drawing on three decades of treating the cases other dentists find puzzling. The proximity to home makes a thorough, unrushed evaluation simple to fit into the week.

Spring Hill
From Spring Hill, the office is about a twenty-seven-mile drive straight up I-65 — right around half an hour with normal traffic. We know that’s a real commitment, which is why Spring Hill patients are usually the ones who’ve exhausted the closer options and are ready for someone who handles the complicated cases day in and day out. Severe bite problems, jaw joints that lock or stick, pain that’s migrated into the neck and shoulders — these are the situations where Dr. Holmes’ experience genuinely changes the outcome. When you’re driving past a dozen general dentists to get here, you’re really coming for the depth of expertise, and that’s what you’ll find.

Murfreesboro
Murfreesboro is the farthest community we regularly serve, sitting about thirty miles to our southeast — most patients take I-24 in, or string together I-65 and I-840 depending on where they’re starting. It’s a forty-minute drive on a good day, and the people who make it tend to arrive having lived with their pain far too long. That’s the kind of case Dr. Holmes built his practice around: chronic, multi-year TMJ and headache problems that need a real diagnosis and a long-term plan, not another temporary fix. With CareCredit financing available, the distance and the cost both become a lot more manageable for Murfreesboro families ready to stop hurting.

Nashville
From downtown Nashville, Green Hills, or the 12South area, I-65 South brings you to our office in about 20 minutes outside of rush hour. Plenty of our Nashville patients book early morning slots before heading back to offices in the Gulch or midtown. You might be wondering if the trip past the city limits is worth it; the ones who've found answers for years of jaw pain tell us it is.
Distance: About 12 miles from downtown, roughly 20 minutes from our Virginia Way office
