Our Story
In 1951, Dr. Ernest Tomlinson started a dental practice built on integrity and the highest quality care for his patients. Wanting his practice to move forward and expand, Dr. Tomlinson sought someone with his same philosophy and passion for patient care. He was joined by Dr. Tim Foster in 1986 and soon retired after a long career serving his community. With the addition of Dr. Foster, the practice grew, resulting in a move from Graylynn Drive to its current location on Park Drive in Donelson. Dr. Foster has found those same qualities in Dr. Rick Bletzacker and welcomes his expertise and dedication to the practice. To the present day, both doctors are still guided by and committed to Dr. Tomlinson's philosophies of exceptional dental care.
Although dental techniques and technology have advanced dramatically since Dr. Tomlinson's days in practice, some things will never change. We will always strive for integrity, real relationships with each of our patients, and a friendly staff that will make you feel right at home.
