Offering advanced dental care featuring cosmetic dentistry and dental implants for patients near downtown Murfreesboro and throughout Rutherford County.
Conservative, Transparent & Relationship-Driven Dentistry
Dr. Danos earned his degree at LSU and completed his advanced training at the Audie L. Murphy Veterans Hospital General Dentistry program in San Antonio. He builds on that foundation with 30+ hours of continuing education annually through programs like Spear Education, so every patient gets the most current care available.
But credentials alone don’t build trust. Trust is earned by listening carefully, explaining clearly, and giving patients the space to decide what’s right for them.
That is the foundation of this practice.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I expect at my first appointment with a new dentist in Murfreesboro?
A first dental appointment typically includes completing health forms, a review of your medical and dental history, digital X-rays, a comprehensive oral exam, and a discussion of any concerns or treatment options. Most first visits last 60-90 minutes and usually finish with a cleaning, unless deeper work is needed first.
What sedation options are available for people with dental anxiety?
The three most common sedation options for anxious dental patients are nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral conscious sedation (a prescribed pill taken before the appointment), and IV sedation. Nitrous is the mildest and wears off within minutes; oral sedation produces deeper relaxation but requires a designated driver home.
How does an out-of-network dentist handle my insurance claim?
An out-of-network dentist can still file your dental insurance claim on your behalf and typically has no contract with your insurer limiting fees. You usually pay the practice at the time of service, and the insurance company reimburses either you or the practice according to your plan’s out-of-network benefits.
What should I do if I have a dental emergency after hours or on a weekend?
For a dental emergency after hours, call your dentist’s main number first, many practices have an on-call line or after-hours answering service. Go to a hospital emergency room for uncontrolled bleeding, facial swelling that affects breathing or swallowing, or trauma from a serious accident. Otherwise, most dental issues can wait until the office reopens.
How is a 3D cone beam CT scan different from a traditional dental X-ray?
A cone beam CT (CBCT) scan produces a 3D image of your teeth, jawbone, nerves, and sinuses in a single rotation, while traditional dental X-rays produce flat 2D images of a small area. CBCT is used for implant planning, root canal complications, impacted wisdom teeth, and TMJ evaluation, cases where depth matters.
At what age should my child have their first dental visit?
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and the ADA both recommend a child’s first dental visit by age 1, or within six months after the first tooth erupts, whichever comes first. This early visit focuses on parent education, checking for early decay, and helping the child grow comfortable in a dental setting.
Can a general dentist place dental implants, or do I need to see a specialist?
Yes, general dentists can legally place dental implants in every US state, and many complete advanced training to do so. Specialists like periodontists and oral surgeons often handle more complex cases, patients with significant bone loss, sinus proximity issues, or full-arch reconstructions may benefit from a specialist referral.
Do I need to switch dentists if I'm relocating to Murfreesboro mid-treatment?
If you’re moving mid-treatment, you’ll typically need a new local dentist to complete or continue care, especially for orthodontics, implants, or multi-visit restorative work. Ask your current provider for your records, X-rays, and treatment notes to bring to the new dentist, most practices share these directly on request.
