Cumberland Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics

What Cumberland Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics does

Cumberland Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics is a multi-location pediatric dental and orthodontic group practice serving families across Middle Tennessee. Founded in 2012 by four dentists (Dr. Brent Miller, Dr. Jennifer House, Dr. Jack Stalker, and Dr. Peter Wojtkiewicz), the company operates seven offices spanning Clarksville, Columbia, Cookeville, Lawrenceburg, Murfreesboro, Smyrna, and White House, with roughly 150-200 team members including board-certified pediatric dentists and orthodontists who completed 2-3 years of additional specialty training.

The clinical offering combines pediatric dentistry (preventive exams, cleanings, digital X-rays, fluoride, sealants, restorative work, extractions, space maintainers, and emergency care), orthodontic treatment (traditional metal braces, clear ceramic braces, and Invisalign), special needs dentistry, and sedation dentistry including hospital-based general anesthesia. Technology stack is conventional digital dental hardware, including digital X-ray sensors, iTero intraoral scanners for Invisalign treatment planning, autoclave sterilization systems compliant with CDC and OSHA, and NexHealth-powered online scheduling. The 7&Up Smiles Club provides complimentary orthodontic monitoring from age seven as a long-horizon patient engagement tool.

The business model is fee-for-service healthcare delivered direct-to-consumer, with revenue from insurance claims, patient co-pays, and treatment fees (including 0% in-house financing and CareCredit). Payor mix spans TennCare, Medicaid, DentaQuest, and major PPOs (Aetna, Blue Cross, Cigna, Delta Dental, United Healthcare), positioning the practice for both commercial and safety-net demand. The practice operates under management services from CDHA Management, LLC and Spark DSO, LLC (dba Chord Specialty Dental Partners), while clinical ownership remains with partnering dentists. Customer acquisition combines organic social (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube), a content blog, school visit programs, community partnerships (United Way), NexHealth online booking, and seasonal orthodontic promotions.
