Dr. Ronald Wright

Dr. Ronald Wright is a Nashville-based endodontist. He has had his own dental practice in Nashville since 2002. Dr. Wright comes from a long line of dental experts. His mother was a dental hygienist and his father is still a practicing restorative dentist.

Dr. Wright was born and raised in Tennessee. He earned his doctorate from the University of Tennessee in 1997. From there, he left his home state to study at the University of Maryland. In Maryland, he earned a master's in oral biology and completed advanced coursework in endodontics. After Maryland, he traveled to Texas, where he worked as a part-time faculty member at Baylor College of Dentistry. He then returned to his home state to open his practice.

Endodontists like Dr. Wright focus on the inside of the tooth. The term "endodontics" literally means "inside the tooth." One of the most common procedures that endodontists are known for is the root canal. Many patients fear getting a root canal, as they expect it to be a painful and terrifying process. Dr. Ronald Wright has earned praise from his patients for making the procedure as comfortable and unintimidating as possible.

In addition to root canals, Dr. Wright offers other endodontic treatments. He can diagnose and treat pain in the teeth as well as teeth that are chipped or cracked. An endodontist like Dr. Wright also regularly helps patients who have suffered from an injury to the mouth. If a tooth is knocked out of position, Dr. Wright can re-implant it.

When not working at his endodontic practice, Dr. Ronald Wright can be found at home with his loving wife and three lovely children. The family owns a small horse farm in central Tennessee. An outdoorsy family, Dr. Wright, his wife, and children enjoy participating in numerous activities in nature.

In 2010, Dr. Wright was able to open a second office location. His practice can now be found in both Nashville and Columbia, Tennessee. The dentist sees patients by appointment. Dr. Wright is a proud member of several dental associations, including the American Dental Association and the American Association of Endodontists.
