For far too long, anxiety stemming from childhood dental experiences has kept me from scheduling routine dental care. After reading several reviews, I scheduled an appointment with Slager Family Dental Care. From the first moment I entered the office, the entire staff went out of their way to make me feel comfortable. Carolina is a wonderfully, patient and understanding hygienist who takes time to explain everything that is happening during the exam. I highly recommend Slager Family Dental Care!

By far the best dentistry I’ve been to in my 43 years. For starters, we had just moved here and I had a cracked back tooth with a pain level of 10 out of 10. My wife called around trying to get me in with a dentist. Slager was the only one that offered emergency appointments for issues like mine, even though they’re very busy. They were able to get me in the following day. Dr Slager removed the cracked tooth and totally saved the day. My hero! The removal was pain free. My mouth healed just fine. Had my first cleaning last week. Very impressed with how much time they take and how knowledgeable the dental hygienists are. She was so friendly. Walked me through step by step explaining everything as she did the inspection and cleaning. Also, the ladies at the front desk are as nice as can be. Slager dentistry will definitely be our family dentist for years to come. Do yourself a favor and book an appointment. - Geoff M.

Had a dental emergency and was able to see someone within 3 hours, as a new patient. Everyone was extremely friendly and made me feel comfortable the entire time. I have avoided the dentist for years due to anxiety. I wish I had known how fabulous Slager Family Dental Care was sooner! They are definitely my new dentist office!

I always got high anxiety going to the dentist, even the thought of going made me cringe. When it became obvious I needed to get bridge work done I searched every dentist in Cookeville. I stumbled onto Slager Family Dental Care and something in my intuitive self felt right. I booked the appointment through my fear. I can say with confidence this is the best dental care I ever experienced. The staff is caring and the atmosphere is calm. Not once did I regret choosing Dr. Slager or his team of professionals to take care of my teeth. I love that they gave me my smile back! Thank you Slager Family Dental Care.

Slager Dental is absolutely the best dental office I have ever been to! The staff is extremely friendly and I have always felt so comfortable here. I especially love their state of the art equipment and dedication to my individual needs. I would recommend Slager Dental to anyone looking for a new dental office!!

These guys are fantastic! During the pandemic, my regular dentist retired, and I didn't know where to go for my next appointment. After being recommended by a friend to try out Dr. Slager's office, I went in last Monday for a broken tooth emergency, and they were able to get me on the schedule that morning! Dr. Slager and Christy were great! When I left, my tooth looked better than before! Finally, I found a new dentist I can trust with a GREAT staff!

I used to work in the dental field, so I can be a harsh critic of offices, but I have to say that Slager Family Dental Care is easily the best office I have ever seen. I can tell that this office runs like a well-oiled machine. The staff are always friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. I trust Dr. Slager, and his work is top notch. I appreciate that he seems to value staying up to date on current technology and education. My hygienist, Rachel, gave me a thorough cleaning and made me laugh throughout the appointment while also giving me helpful pointers and dental advice. Cookeville definitely has a gem with this office! I will be going here for the long haul!

I am delighted to finally find a place that I can have my dental needs met that checks all the boxes. The staff, technicians, and doctor are all very professional, knowledgible, and compassionate. They were very patient in addressing all my questions and concerns. I am so pleased to find all this and to be able to be seen in a timely manner. Where I previously sought care I was made to wait months to receive the care I need, which resulted in more issues occurring.

Getting dental work done never ranks high on anyone’s list of “want to do’s.” With that said, I am so pleased that I go to Slager Family Dental Care and highly recommend this dentistry practice. Dr. Slager and staff are always so pleasant, explain care options, detail everything they are doing, and go out of their way to make each dental experience a good one. Not only that, but as strange as this sounds, my two children LOVE to go there, too, and look forward to it when they know they have a check-up coming soon.

I honestly can’t say enough good about my experience here! I have been 3x and have never felt so welcome somewhere! They greet you when you walk in the door most of the time by name! Today I actually had a tooth removed and implant procedure started. I never felt a thing! This is the place to go if your looking for a dentist!
