For the smile that has to last decades.

Signature is where Nashville’s executives, performers, and discerning patients come when the stakes are high and the case is complex. We’ve built our reputation on work that holds up under a spotlight — and the quieter one of everyday life.

“I tour ten months a year. My old crowns failed during a show. Dr. Ellison rebuilt my entire upper arch in three visits. Two years later, nothing has moved.”

Signature Services

Four disciplines. Mastered slowly.

We turned down a second location last year. We turned down a franchise deal the year before. Signature is what happens when a small team refuses to dilute the work in pursuit of scale.

— I.

Full-Mouth Rehabilitation

The work we’re known for. Worn bites, collapsed vertical dimension, failing dentistry from the 1990s and 2000s — rebuilt in one coordinated, occlusally-driven plan.

20–28 units · 4–6 visits · Dawson protocol
— II.

Porcelain Veneers

Hand-layered feldspathic, stacked Emax, or custom-pressed ceramic. Designed from facial analysis, previewed in-mouth, placed conservatively.

8–10 units · bonded · 2 visits
— III.

Implant Restoration

We partner with a Nashville oral surgeon for placement, then handle the restorative work — provisionals, soft-tissue shaping, final crowns and bridges.

Smile Analysis & Design

For patients not yet ready for large treatment — a consultation-grade review of smile proportion, bite, and long-term risk. Often the starting point.

The Studio

Dentistry practiced the way it used to be.

Signature operates three days a week, sees fewer than four patients per day, and takes the same six hours to plan a case that most offices take to treat one. That’s not slow. That’s what doing it right looks like when the restoration is meant to last thirty years.

  • Wax-up & 3D digital preview
  • In-mouth trial smile (1 week)

The Method

Every case follows the same careful arc.

— Phase 01

The Consultation

Two unhurried hours. Photographs, a full scan, a bite analysis, and a written case plan on paper you take home.

— Phase 02

The Design

Your case is planned in 3D, waxed up by hand, and previewed. We refine the design with you before any tooth is touched.

— Phase 03

The Trial

A provisional version of your new smile is fitted for one week. You live with it. You tell us what to refine.

— Phase 04

The Finish

Final porcelain is layered by our in-house ceramist, fitted, adjusted across multiple visits, and bonded.

A Selection of Work

Every case. Hand-finished.

What Patients Say

★★★★★

After three decades of progressively worse dentistry, Dr. Ellison rebuilt my entire mouth across five visits. I can chew a steak. I can smile in photos. My wife says I look ten years younger. The work is quiet and complete.

I’ve been in front of cameras for twenty years. I knew I wanted Signature the moment I walked in. No television on, no soft jazz, no sales pitch. Just records, a conversation, and a plan that felt considered. Ten veneers, two visits, flawless result.

My husband needed a full upper restoration before our daughter’s wedding. Dr. Ellison coordinated the surgeon, the lab, and the timeline without a single missed date. Signature lives up to its name. There is no second practice like it in Nashville.

The studio is currently accepting a small number of new cases.

If you’re considering significant restorative or cosmetic work, begin with a consultation. Two hours, records, and a written plan.
