Dr. Ashley Clayton

Dentist and Owner

Dr. Ashley Clayton, a graduate of Samford University and the University of Tennessee College of Dentistry, began practicing in Nashville, TN in 2004. He purchased his own practice in 2007. After identifying how effective dental implants could be in treating his patients, Dr. Clayton began to pursue advanced training in implant dentistry.


He logged more than 400 hours of implant-specific lectures and training to become one of Middle Tennessee’s experts in the field. His hard work earned him recognition as an Associate Fellow of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry (AAID) at the 2016 Annual Conference. Dr. Clayton surpassed the required 300 hours of postdoctoral education in the field of implant dentistry. He successfully performed implant cases, and he passed the AAID’s examination.


After all the hours of intense study, Dr. Clayton is now one of the select few dentists in the Nashville, TN area who can say they’re certified by the AAID. Dr. Clayton is excited to have extensive knowledge of implant dentistry to provide even better care to his patients going forward.
