Learn More About Our Nashville, TN Dental Office

Our team focuses on building relationships instead of simply treating strangers. You can trust us with your comprehensive dental needs because we stand behind our work. Midtown Smiles has been serving the dental needs of the Greater Nashville area for almost 20 years. Dr. Mike Tabor founded the practice in 2002 and Dr. Terry Watson joined the team and acquired the practice in 2016. He is proud to continue the tradition of providing the perfect mixture of modern dentistry in a patient-focused atmosphere.

Meet the Doctors

Dr. Terry Watson

Dr. Watson enjoys transforming people’s lives through cosmetic dentistry with an emphasis on creating new smiles using implants to restore normal functions. “The most fulfilling part of my job is getting to see the confidence and self-esteem of my patients skyrocket after doing the work that so many of them thought was impossible!”
‍

This University of Louisville School of Dentistry graduate genuinely cares about the health and happiness of each patient. That’s why in the summer of 2016, after running a successful practice in Arkansas for 20 years, Dr. Watson purchased this practice from Dr. Michael Tabor and renamed it Midtown Smiles. He’s thrilled to be providing excellent care to our wonderful patients while Dr. Tabor focuses on Dental Sleep Medicine!
‍

Dr. Watson believes in building a real relationship with each patientand often becomes so comfortable around his patients that you might catch him singing chairside! Outside the office, Dr. Watson cherishes the time spent with his wife Dana (who serves as office manager at Midtown Smiles) and their two daughters.

Dr. Watson is an avid outdoorsman, spending his free time hunting, fishing and boating among other outdoor activities. Need a custom duck call? Dr. Watson might be able to help you out!

If you’re looking for a dentist to provide a personal touch to professional care (with a great sense of humor), Dr. Watson is here for you and can’t wait to see you at your next appointment!

Our Patients Say

Betsy

The BEST! I have been a few times, and each visit has been a great experience! Dr. Watson takes the time to make sure everything is perfect and that I am happy with the results (and not to mention he is hilarious). His whole team is fantastic… but specific shout out to the girls that assisted on me: Cassidy, Hannah, and Charlie. You all did such an amazing job and made my dental experience so relaxing and easy! Thank you Midtown Smiles!

Daniel

I was able to laugh while having my teeth cleaned! Positively impressed by the whole experience, modern equipment, fast, clean, cordial and Dr. Watson, Hannah, Julie and all other folks were just incredible!

Hunter

Midtown Smiles has been my dental office since October of 2021 and will continue to be! Dr. Watson and his staff are all very friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. Most importantly, though, each staff member makes you feel welcome with each visit. Without a doubt one of the best offices in Nashville!

Jennifer

Where do I start…Going to Midtown Smiles is the best decision that I could have ever made when choosing a dentist. I see them for not only my dental health but also for treatment for my sleep apnea. Dr. Watson and Dr. Tabor are the best in the business. Everyone in their office is just so professional, nice, and caring.
