TENNESSEE ORTHODONTIC STUDIOS - Key Persons
Dr. Eberting has been a dentist for over 25 years, with more than 20 of those years in orthodontics. He chose dentistry, and then the orthodontic specialty, following a great experience with his own orthodontist. The positive changes in his life, as a result of treatment, inspired him to help others achieve the same lasting improvement in their self-esteem.
Dr. Eberting is a Board-Certified Orthodontist and a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics. His board certification represents his commitment to practicing a higher level of orthodontics. There is no legal requirement to become board certified; however, it is a decision made by some in the profession due to the pursuit of excellence in the specialty.
Oscar is our mascot and patient greeter extraordinaire! Since Oscar is a black pug, his dental education is limited. He knows words like "outside," "food," "upstairs," and his name. He's not so great with "come" or "sit," but we're working on it! Oscar enjoys his time in our office, mostly because Dr. Eberting caters to his every whim, our team takes him outside for walks, and Missy keeps treats for him in her office.
Oscar came to live with Dr. Eberting as a birthday present to his son in 2015. He spends a lot of time sleeping and eating. He loves to go outside and lie on the driveway in the sun. Oscar has been known to bark at people he thinks are strangers. They're usually scared of his imposing size (not really). He also tends to bark at people on whom he can smell cigarette smoke. If he does this to you, he's really sorry, but he's just looking out for your health and wellness!
