I would inquire about healthcare and science-related fields as a young teenager. And my dad being an engineer, I always worked with my hands. With that drive came being mentored by people. That really meant a lot to me. And I’ve always tried to surround myself with people that know more than me, that are better than me. And I was influenced by physicians, dentists. There was a dentist in my church growing up.
I want to be able to offer my patients something that they’ve never had before. And being able to bring patients in East Tennessee the best industry possible, go and learn from the best people in the world, and learn it in a way that I can apply it to our practice here and teach others, really has been fulfilling. And I feel blessed. Patients sit in my chair and say, “No one’s ever done this like this before. You’re the only dentist that has really operated like that.” To make dentistry disappear behind the scenes has always been our goal, whether it be a smile pain, or whether it be a toothache. That has been some of the most fulfilling things that I’ve been able to do, is to make dentistry disappear and really give people the smile they deserve.

I have been a patient of Dr Mullins for 3 1/2 years now and he is awesome! Very attentive and knowledgeable. Gives you his 100% attention and provides the best option/s for your care. I trust him with all dental care for my 2 daughters, husband and myself. Dr Mullins also has an awesome team! Very kind and helpful. Love that they are always willing to work with your schedule, there is never a long wait time once you get to their office and love the email& text reminders (so very helpful). Just recently had my wisdom teeth extractions and it was the easiest and painless as possible! I am truly convinced even more so now that I have chosen the best care for my family’s dental needs. I highly recommend My Family Dentistry!

My wife and I have been a patient of Dr Mullins for about 15 years or more. Julie has been my hygienist all but 2 years. They both are the best. I have always been treated better there than any dentist that I have ever been to. They feel more like family to me. So much so I introduced my 90 year old mom to them and now they are her dentist. So I trust them completely. Everyone I have meet in the office has also been great.

WELCOMING! I feel like I have been going here for years. From my very first visit, they have made me feel at home. From Jordan to Dr. Mullins, they are all genuinely concerned about my terror of a dentist. I’ve been able to get in the chair and not have any anxiety attacks. The quality of services I’ve received is amazing. For the first time in my life, someone told me how pretty my teeth are! All the praise goes to Dr. Mullins skilled work. I will never ever dentist hop again because I’ve finally found a place that makes me feel safe and not scared anymore!! Love these people!
