What Makes Us Different
As Pediatric and Orthodontic specialists, we know that we need to bring together technologies that protect your child’s health, comforts that help him or her receive anxiety-free dental care, and amenities that make trips to the dentist fun! We also know that the care we provide will set the stage for your child’s dental care well into adulthood – most people who have a fear of the dentist had bad experiences in childhood, and one of our main goals is to make sure your child only has great experiences at Cumberland Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics. And we haven’t forgotten the fun! We offer video games in the waiting room, free wifi, and TVs in every operatory, helping keep your child entertained and distracted during dental visits.

From the doctor: I believe that Orthodontics is a unique combination of art and science. Giving patients a happy and healthy smile is my passion. My goal is to address each patient’s individual orthodontic needs in a warm and caring environment. The objective is to provide you with the highest standard of treatment and a pleasant experience. My favorite quote – Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass… It’s about learning to dance in the rain.
Dr. Sam Collins
Orthodontist
Sam Collins, D.M.D. hails from the small town of Norris, Tennessee. He developed his work ethic from time spent on his father’s Christmas tree farm, and his patience from growing up with three sisters. A late bloomer to orthodontic care himself, he got his braces off just in time to head to Belmont University. During his time there, Dr. Collins earned his bachelor’s degree in exercise science and also became a fan of all things Music City. (Yes, even Vanderbilt football.)
After college, he attended dental school at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. While earning his DMD, he developed a passion for orthodontics, specifically the patient connections and gratifications that come with the field. Dr. Collins completed his orthodontics residency at Medical University of South Carolina in 2018. During his free time, he enjoys spending afternoons on the lake, golfing, fishing, and the occasional game of pick-up basketball.

In 2013, they moved to Nashville, TN to be close to family and start one of their own. While working in a group practice and volunteering in a local clinic, Joel and Katherine had a son, Walker West.
