A family and veteran owned practice since 2011
Winchester Family Dentistry is a family and cosmetic dental practice in Winchester, TN. Dr. Garrett Orr and Dr. Ethan Tindall see children and adults here, so one office can look after the whole family.
Both doctors trained after dental school in the military, Dr. Orr in the Air Force and Dr. Tindall in the Army. Alongside cleanings, checkups and fillings, the practice places implants, offers IV sedation and treats gum disease with the LANAP laser.

At the visit
Three things happen at your first visit. Our team goes over your dental and medical history forms and takes X‑rays of your teeth and mouth. A hygienist cleans and polishes your teeth and checks your teeth and gums for cavities and early signs of decay or gingivitis, and your first cleaning includes a more comprehensive exam. The doctor goes through your X‑rays with you, helps you put together a treatment plan, and answers whatever you want to ask.

Questions new patients ask
Do you see children?
Yes. Children and adults are both patients here, and newborns can be seen as needed. When you call, say that it is a first visit, and tell us if your child is nervous or has had a bad time at another office.
Family dentistryWhat paperwork do I fill out?
Four forms: a patient information form, a health history form, a HIPAA consent form and a patient authorization form. You can fill them out online before you come, or at the office if you arrive 15 minutes early.
Fill out patient forms (opens in a new tab)Will you check my coverage before treatment?
We will do our best to check, but we can only work from the plan details you bring, so please have your insurance information with you when you call or arrive. What a plan pays can differ from what it first says, and the patient is responsible for the cost of the care they receive.
Can I use my HSA or FSA?
Yes, we take HSA and FSA cards. Dental care is generally an eligible expense for health savings and flexible spending accounts, but each plan sets its own rules, so ask your plan administrator if you are unsure what yours covers.
How often should I come back?
Every six months, for a checkup and a cleaning. Regular checkups are an important part of keeping your teeth and gums healthy.
