When you walk into Goodlettsville Family Dental, it doesn’t feel like a typical dental office. The technology is modern, the staff is calm, and the tone is warm. That’s no accident—it’s the result of Dr. Jeffrey Mathews’ deliberate effort to “make every visit feel like a step forward, not just a checkup.”

Dr. Mathews, a native of East Tennessee, has built his career around that mindset. Since earning his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree from the University of Tennessee Health Science Center College of Medicine in 2011, he’s pushed to redefine what quality and aesthetic dentistry mean in his community.

“We diagnose and treat every patient as if they were a best friend or family member,” he says. “Integrity isn’t a slogan—it’s how we decide what’s right for each person’s health.”
