About Hope Smiles

ON A MISSION TO PROVIDE AFFORDABLE CARE…

We’re building a world-class immersive dental education and leadership development program to train elite dentists all to serve you!

At our modern dental center in the heart of Nashville’s design district, Hope Smiles delivers world-class care with heart. By pairing top dentists with rising professionals, we are able to offer expert, affordable care to everyone who walks through our doors. We’re also known for our Free Dental Days, which bring the community together to serve those who need it most with no strings attached.

Compassion You Can Feel. Excellence You Can Trust.

A different kind of dental experience rooted in purpose, driven by love.

At Hope Smiles, we believe dental care should be as compassionate as it is excellent. From your first visit, you’ll feel seen, heard, and genuinely cared for. We take time to listen, communicate honestly, and ensure you’re fully comfortable every step of the way. Because to us, your smile is personal and so is the care behind it.

The Hope Smiles Story

Hope Smiles Began With One Simple Belief: Everyone deserves access to quality dental care and no one should be left behind.

Founded by Dr. Phillip Kemp in 2005, Hope Smiles was born out of compassion and a desire to serve those who often go unseen. What started as a way to meet local dental needs quickly grew into a movement that combines expert care, meaningful mentorship for future dentists, and a commitment to building relationships that last far beyond the chair.

In partnership with the University of Tennessee and Meharry Medical College, we’ve empowered the next generation of dental leaders through hands-on training rooted in empathy and purpose. And in 2013, our mission expanded globally, beginning a powerful partnership in Uganda that continues today, where we train local providers to deliver life-changing care to those who need it most.

At Hope Smiles, we’re not just transforming smiles, we’re restoring dignity, building hope, and creating a world where everyone has a reason to smile.
