David Meister, DMD, MS

David Meister, DMD, MS, operates a dental specialty practice at 1177 Old Hickory Boulevard in Brentwood, Tennessee. Dr. Meister holds advanced graduate credentials and focuses on periodontal and oral surgical dental services for patients in Brentwood and across the greater Nashville metropolitan area in Tennessee.

Gum graft surgery is a core procedure at the practice. Dr. Meister performs soft tissue grafts to address gum recession, protecting exposed root surfaces and restoring the gum margin to a functional and aesthetic level. Patients who have undergone gum graft surgery at the practice report well-managed recoveries following careful pre-surgical preparation and clear post-operative guidance.

Gingivectomy—the surgical reshaping or removal of excess or diseased gum tissue—is also performed at the practice for patients dealing with gingival overgrowth or gum tissue concerns affecting both function and appearance. This procedure can produce meaningful improvements in smile aesthetics and ease of cleaning when indicated.

Tooth extractions, including complex cases, are performed with attention to what comes next. Where a future dental implant is planned at the extraction site, bone grafting using cadaver bone material can be placed at the time of extraction to preserve the alveolar ridge and prepare the site for implant placement at a later stage.

Regarding anesthesia, Dr. Meister works with patients on a case-by-case basis. Many procedures are achievable with local anesthesia alone, which reduces cost and avoids the introduction of systemic anesthetic agents. General or IV sedation is available where the procedure or patient preference warrants it, and this is discussed in detail during the initial consultation.

Dental hygiene care is provided at the practice with close clinical attention to gum tissue health and bone levels. The hygienist team performs detailed periodontal assessments during hygiene appointments. New patients are welcomed with a thorough initial consultation. Located on Old Hickory Boulevard in central Brentwood, the practice is accessible from Maryland Farms, Concord Road, Franklin, and the I-65 corridor through Williamson County, Tennessee.
