Clarksville Dental Center

What Clarksville Dental Center does

Clarksville Dental Center is a privately held, single-location general dental practice headquartered at 1301 Peachers Mill Rd, Clarksville, Tennessee. Founded in 1993 by Dr. E. "Mac" Eddington and Dr. Ernest J. Dewald, the practice has operated continuously for over 30 years under the current ownership of Dr. Kevin Kennedy Jr. (Owner & Clinical Advisor) and Dr. Zach Meyer (Owner & Chief Dental Officer), with Sunny Larsen serving as Director of Operations. The practice serves families and individuals throughout Clarksville and Montgomery County, TN, including a notable segment of military veterans and active-duty family members referred through the VA Community Care Network.

The practice operates a portfolio of four integrated service lines delivered at one facility: Preventive Dentistry (exams, cleanings, fluoride, pediatric care), Restorative Dentistry (fillings, crowns, bridges, dentures, implants, root canals, gum disease treatment), Cosmetic Dentistry (veneers, whitening, night guards, sports guards), and Emergency Dentistry (same-day urgent care). Service delivery relies on standard dental-practice technology — digital X-rays, dental imaging, and practice-management software — with no proprietary technology, AI/ML capabilities, or specialized tech stack disclosed. The clinical team includes at least seven dentists with diverse training backgrounds (Marquette, University of Michigan, University of Tennessee, LSU Health Sciences Center), supporting broad service coverage.

The business model is fee-for-service dental care. Revenue is generated through direct patient payments, insurance claim processing across PPO dental plans, VA Community Care Network referrals, and patient-financing arrangements for uninsured patients. Patient acquisition runs through local SEO, social media (Instagram, Facebook), the practice website, PPO network directory listings, and VA referrals — with appointments scheduled primarily by phone and an online contact form. Same-day emergency scheduling provides an additional intake channel.
