Highland Family Dental: Rachel Carlson, DMD

General dental care—checkups, cleanings, X-rays—sets the baseline; Highland Family Dental: Rachel Carlson, DMD narrows the focus to family-sized convenience on the north edge of Pleasant View. The office sits at 2516 TN-49, Suite 101, a straightforward stop for parents balancing school pick-ups and dental checkups without downtown detours. Paired with fillings, crown work, and basic oral surgery, you get common needs under one roof. Weekend athletes also rely on sports-guard fittings and night guards when practices run long.

Pediatric patients see the same clinicians, which keeps transitions simple when children graduate from baby teeth to adult treatment plans. Bleaching trays and fluoride treatments sit alongside periodontal charting for teens whose routines need reinforcement. Occlusal analysis and bite adjustments round out the short list of in-house options. All of this sits inside the same floor plan; no hidden corridors, just a single waiting zone before chairs.

Directions are easiest from I-24 Exit 182—merge north on TN-49, pass the high-school ballfields, and look for the tan stripe above the door marked “Ste. 101.” Parking slots sit in front; no back-lot shuffle required after 3 p.m. Families from Ashland City and Springfield use the same route, cutting 10–15 minutes off the drive compared with South Nashville offices.

Call (615) 649-4155 the day you lose a filling or the week before the kids’ summer checkups; the line rings straight through to scheduling. Save the map for later: https://www.google.com/maps/place?ftid=0x8864f14a4e938191:0x73817a9ebf7f11cc drops a pin on the doorstep for easy navigation.
