New Patient Forms for Your First Visit
Prior to your first appointment, if we already have your email address- you can request us to email you a link to fill out your Health Form online OR you can simply arrive 10-15 minutes early for your first dental appointment to complete it in our office.
Our patient’s love our digital forms, since it makes updating your information in the future super easy & really quick! If you are taking any medications- please bring a med list or you can enter them in on the health form.
Need help with the forms? No sweat, just arrive 10-15 minutes early for your appointment and simply fill them out in our office. We have such a friendly dental team that will help you every step of the way.
Full Disclosure
The prospect of facing a new dentist can make anyone feel a little guilty about bad habits or just not flossing enough. However, please be assured that we’re not in the business of judging anyone. NO JUDGEMENT ZONE. Our sole concern is improving the oral health of our patients and failing to disclose important information (such as smoking, diseases, medication, or not brushing regularly) can have an impact on the treatment and services that our dentist recommends. Therefore, it’s crucial that your complete and accurate medical and dental history is disclosed on your first dental visit with our dental office.
Brushing and Flossing
Brushing and flossing before the appointment will help our dentist properly examine your teeth with efficiency and ease. Need a brush and some paste before your appointment? Just let us know and we would be glad to get you one.
Comprehensive Dental Exam
After reviewing your health form, paying close attention to your dental and medical history, our dentist will proceed with your oral examination. Our dentist will carefully examine your teeth, gums and other oral tissues, looking for signs of decay, disease and other potential problems.
Radiographs (X-Rays)
The dentist will take necessary x-rays. We use digital x-rays at Clements Dental, so the process takes just a couple minutes to complete & the images are available immediately for our dentist to evaluate. These detailed images will show any problems, like deep cavities, infections and bone loss, that may not have been fully evident during the exam.
Dental Cleaning
Our dentist may recommend you get a professional teeth cleaning. During this cleaning session, our dental hygienist will remove accumulated plaque and stains from outside and in-between the teeth. After a thorough cleaning has been done, our dental hygienist will polish the teeth, leaving your mouth feeling fresh.
Post-Checkup Discussion
Following your exam, our dentist will discuss the results with you. If any issues were uncovered, our dentist may recommend additional treatments to restore your teeth and gums to a healthy condition. Our dentist will outline a treatment plan and our staff will review the procedure costs with you. If no problems were discovered, our dentist recommends patients return to our Shelbyville TN dental office every six months for another checkup and cleaning. This ensures any problems are detected as early as possible and more serious issues are prevented.

Kris P.
I was not a fan of dentists as I have never really had one that was worth mentioning. I dreaded going for my appointment and waited until absolutely necessary to schedule an appointment. Dr. Clements and her staff have changed my perspective regarding dentists. She is the most personable, thorough, and informative dentist I have ever had. You can tell that she enjoys what she does for a living because she is singing, laughing, and engaging in conversation with you while working on your teeth. When you talk with her she helps you make the best decision for your dental care and offers all available options. Her staff is highly skilled, amazing, knowledgeable, respectful, and kind. Colby is the pleasant and enthusiastic voice you will hear when you are attempting to arrange appointments or have a billing issue. He is great at following up with the patients if anything comes up. Simply put they are a family of dental professionals working together to care for their patients. I am so thankful that I can call the Clements Dental family my own.
Frank P.
5 stars all the way around. Hygienist, doctor, front desk staff. Wonderful people, kind, compassionate, friendly. You can tell they aren’t just there to make a paycheck. They care about you and your oral health. Didn’t know if I could find a dentist I loved as much as (let alone MORE) than my previous dentistry.

I have a fear of going to the dentist. It started when I was young. I made an appointment with Clements Dental for a tooth extraction. When I arrived, I was put at ease. Everyone who took care of me, including my dentist was so calm and understanding of my fear. I was treated without any pain and I highly recommend Clements Dental .

I have never had a better experience at any dentist office I have ever patronized. From the receptionist at the front desk to the ladies at checkout. Everyone is super super nice. Dr. Clement and her clinical staff are top notch, thorough and professional. Even though I have had some extensive work done, I don’t dread going because I know they will make it as pleasant as possible.
