Meet the Dentist Who Listens First
Clear Solutions
Locally Owned, Family-Run


A Dental Studio Built Around You
We are a husband-and-wife team, Michael and Krista Zurcher.
Michael focuses on cosmetic dentistry, full mouth rehabs, and same-day crowns. Krista brings over a decade of nursing experience and a passion for esthetics and patient comfort.
The idea for this studio started when Michael planned to open a traditional dental office. Krista realized her hospital experience and interest in facial esthetics could blend with his cosmetic skills. Together, they saw a chance to create something different for Gallatin:
- A calm, modern space instead of a rushed clinic
- A visit where you see your teeth and smile on screen, not just hear about them
- Smile makeovers that consider your whole face, not just individual teeth
Krista now helps welcome you at the front desk and supports your care in the back. Michael walks you through your photos and scans chairside. You always know who you will see and who is planning your treatment.

Rooted in Gallatin
Our family lives in Gallatin. We built our home here and wanted to serve the same community where we shop, work, and raise our son.
Our studio is designed to feel serene rather than clinical. We love that Gallatin is growing and changing but still feels like a town where people know each other.
We welcome patients from:
- Gallatin
- Hendersonville
- Goodlettsville
- Nearby surrounding areas
When you visit, you are treated like a neighbor, not a number on a schedule.

How We Care for You
We see dentistry as a partnership.
That means we:
- Listen to your concerns before we talk about treatment
- Explain options in clear language so you can help decide the plan
- Respect your time with same-day crowns and problem-focused visits when it makes sense
Whether you want to maintain your oral health or design a full smile makeover, we move at your pace. You can start small and build a plan over time, or move forward with a larger transformation when you’re ready.

Technology That Makes Things Clear
We invest in technology to make your visit easier and more visual, not just to have the latest gadgets.
During your visit, you may see:
- Digital photos of your teeth and smile
- 3D scans that map your bite and tooth wear
- AI-supported X-rays that highlight areas of concern
These tools help us explain cracks, wear, spacing, and gum health in a way that makes sense. You see where you are today and what it would take to reach your ideal smile. Many patients find it easier to ask questions when they can see everything on the screen.

Same-Day Answers for Busy Lives
Life is busy, and dental problems rarely show up at a convenient time.
Dr. Zurcher has spent his career looking for same-day solutions to common issues, such as:
- Broken or cracked teeth
- Teeth that need crowns
- Sudden pain or urgent concerns
With CEREC technology, many restorations can be designed, milled, and placed in one visit. When possible, we also plan same-day extractions and fillings. This helps you avoid multiple trips and missed time from work, school, or family.

Enjoy Our Comfort Menu
We know many people feel anxious or tense at the dentist. Krista’s years in hospital nursing shaped the way we approach comfort and communication.
From the moment you arrive, you can choose from a comfort menu designed to help you relax:
- Beverage bar with drinks before or after your visit
- Snacks at check-in for you and your family
- Warm blankets from a blanket warmer to help you feel cozy in the chair
- Soothing scents and a calm, neutral color palette
- Flat-screen TVs over the chair with headphones and streaming options
- Music to soften background noise
- A kids’ area with toys or games to keep younger visitors busy
If you feel nervous, you can tell us. We meet you where you are, with no judgment about past dental care or how long it has been since your last visit.

What You Can Expect as a New Patient
From your first visit, our goal is for you to feel informed and at ease. You can expect:
- A warm welcome at the front desk with help on forms if you need it
- A relaxing wait with drinks and snacks, plus a play area for kids
- A personal greeting from Dr. Zurcher, who walks you back to your room
- A treatment room prepared for you, with your comfort choices ready
- A conversation about your goals and concerns before any images
- Photos, scans, and X-rays (if needed) are explained before they’re taken
- A clear walkthrough of what we see on a large screen
- Time to talk through options, timing, and budget
When you leave, you should have a simple, written plan and a clear idea of “what’s next,” whether that is a routine cleaning schedule, a few focused visits, or a full smile makeover.
