Dr. Nathan Wayne Owens

A survey by the American Dental Association found a person's smile outranked eyes, hair and body as the most important physical feature. Dr. Owens’ objective is to give his patients a smile they are proud of. "We want our patients to feel comfortable the minute they walk in the door. We understand patients don't care how much you know until they know how much you care. From there we focus on helping our patients feel good about themselves through the way they smile." Dr. Owens grew up in a small town similar to Pulaski in central Alabama. He was raised on a dairy farm in Helena, AL. An intercollegiate soccer scholarship led him to Harding University in Searcy, AR. There, he met his wife, Amber, who was also attending. (Amber is a native of Columbia, TN and is a dental hygienist.) Dr. Owens graduated with honors a semester early from Harding as a Biology major with a minor in Chemistry and Bible. He continued his education at the University of Alabama at Birmingham where he received his doctorate in dental medicine (DMD). Ranked high in his class, he graduated with honors, including the Clinical Excellence in Leadership Award. He was also a member of Omicron Delta Kappa Honors Society. Dr. Owens is a member of the Tennessee Dental Association, American Dental Association, Academy of General Dentistry, American Dental Implant Association and the International Association for Orthodontics. He has continued his education in esthetic dentistry, sedation dentistry, implants, orthodontics and more. Dr. Owens is dedicated to continually improving his personal and team's training to better provide care and services for his patients. Dr. Owens married his wife, Amber, in 2004. They enjoy spending time outdoors, running and time at the lake with their dog, Bentleigh, in tow. They are both very committed to their faith and to their family. They are expecting their first child, in April 2012.
