What is the difference between DDS and DMD?

The degree of DDS stands for Doctor of Dental Surgery, while a DMD stands for Doctor of Dental Medicine. The two designations mean precisely the same thing. Students who complete each program go through the same rigorous education, training, and licensing. The dental school decides which degree it will offer. That is the only difference between a DDS and a DMD. 

Our Dentist's Credentials

At Poff Dental Associates, our three dentists each hold a DDS. They combine their skills, expertise, and experience to deliver the comprehensive dentistry we believe each patient deserves.

From comprehensive services such as sleep apnea treatment, orthodontic treatment, and full-mouth implant solutions, our team of dentists offers a range of services you may not find at other dental practices. This makes Poff Dental Associates your one-stop for all your dental care needs. 

Continuing Education and State-of-the-Art Technology

We've also equipped our Nashville dental office with state-of-the-art technology, including same-day crowns, digital impressions, and 3-D imaging, to enhance patient comfort and efficiency.
