Dr. Kevin Hayes, DMD, has built a practice where the core values of growth, respect and trust are more than words on a wall; they guide every interaction, every day. As Dr. Hayes puts it, “I wanted to share that our vision as a team then, as we were getting into sedation dentistry, was: the faith to believe, the love to support, the growth to embrace constant, never-ending improvement in an effort to reach our god-given destiny. A destiny of excellence.”
Patients from throughout Cookeville tell us they finally feel seen and heard. One local shared, “I have never felt so comfortable at a dentist’s office before. Everyone is so kind here, and I finally feel like I can ask questions and not be judged. I actually look forward to my visits now.”
Sedation Dentistry: Transforming Fear into Relief
Many Cookeville residents have dental anxiety, or even outright fear, because of past experiences. At Hayes Family Dentistry, we’re known for our gentle, judgment-free approach and our expertise in sedation dentistry to ease your experience. Our sedation options mean you can often complete several procedures in a single, comfortable visit, whether it’s a routine filling, dental implants, or a full-mouth rehabilitation.
Kimberly, a recent patient from nearby Smithville, described her experience: “I was scared of the dentist. I would make appointments with dentists, and I’d cancel. For about 3 years, I heard on the radio about Hayes Family’s sedation dentistry. And I’m like, they can sedate me? That’s good. That’s good because they would have to get my nerves away in order for me to do anything… From the time that I walked in, it was amazing. After my new teeth, my self-confidence came up. I was smiling to everybody. Now I’m down to 174 pounds just because my self-confidence is amazing. I tell everybody about Hayes Dentistry.”
