About Clayton Dental Group | Dr. Ashley Clayton
Based on Donelson Pike in the Donelson area of Nashville, Tennessee, Clayton Dental Group | Dr. Ashley Clayton is a dental practice serving the area. A dental implant replaces a missing tooth at the root, not just the crown — a small titanium post is placed in the jaw bone and, once it has integrated over a period of months, a replacement tooth is attached to it. It is generally the most durable option for a single missing tooth or several.
A veneer is a thin custom shell bonded to the front of a tooth to change its shape, length, or colour, most often used to address chips, gaps, or discoloration that whitening alone cannot fix. Traditional veneers require a small amount of enamel to be removed, which makes the change permanent.
Cosmetic dentistry covers treatment aimed primarily at appearance — whitening, veneers, bonding, and reshaping among the more common options — for patients who are less concerned with a problem that hurts than with how their smile looks day to day. The right combination depends on what specifically you would like to change.
Pediatric dental care is built around treating children specifically — dentists with additional training in child development and behaviour management, and offices designed to make a first visit unintimidating. Guidance generally points to a child's first dental visit around age one or within six months of the first tooth.
Professional teeth whitening uses a peroxide-based gel, applied under supervision at a strength stronger than anything sold over the counter, to lift years of staining from coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco. It works on natural enamel only — existing crowns, veneers, and fillings keep whatever shade they were made in.
A family dental practice sees a range of ages under one roof, which for most households means fewer separate appointments across different offices. It typically covers routine checkups and restorative treatment for both children and adults, with referrals out for anything requiring specialist training.

greatest employees!!! Everyone is very caring.
It’s always a pleasure getting my dental needs taken care of at Dr claten‘s office professional team from the front desk to Karen. My dental hygienist. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a dentist.
All employees are highly professional and a joy to visit. Dr. Clayton and his staff place patient care at an elevated level. Easy to arrange appointments; they never keep you waiting; and strive to fulfill all your dental needs.
They are very professional and courteous, but yet still down to earth Doctor Clayton is a great dentist and so is my hygienist
I had a great experience with my appointment.
The patience, empathy, and care given by every staff member, made a huge impact on me. I struggle with going to the dentist because of past trauma, but they eased all my anxiety. I’m so grateful for Clayton Dental Group!
Karen was excellent and precise with the Cleaning of my teeth. Very kind and pleasant to work with. I would recommend her and this practice to anyone. The front staff is very friendly and helpful. Great Service!!!
I was seen on an emergency basis for a very sore tooth. I was treated with nothing but kindness from the moment I walked through the door. I deal with very, very bad anxiety. And it took everything I had to go to another dentist after previously going through four dentists since moving to Tennessee, 3.5 years ago The doctors that I work with recommended this dental practice and thank goodness they did. I feel so confident after today that I can go to the dentist without having crippling anxiety. Thank you all at Clayton Dental Group.
I highly recommend Clayton Dental Group! Moving long-distance means starting over with all new doctors, which is always intimidating. My husband tried a different office first and had a terrible experience with aggressive upselling for things he didn't need.I took my aunt's advice to try Clayton Dental Group instead, and the difference was night and day. The office is beautifully bright and clean, scheduling is seamless, and the front desk team is wonderful. Kelsey was a phenomenal, gentle hygienist and Dr. Diffee has such a kind, calming presence. I felt totally safe and valued as a patient, not a paycheck. I’m so happy to have found a trustworthy team I can rely on for years to com
I have been a patient for a few years now and I have had an excellent experience with this dental office. The staff is friendly, the hygienist Payton does a thorough job, and Dr Clayton has a wonderful demeanor and takes his time to explain everything clearly. The whole visit felt efficient, comfortable, and thorough. I left feeling confident about my dental care. Highly recommend.
