Meet Your Green Hills Dentist, Dr. James Kirby

At an early age, Dr. Kirby knew he wanted to be in healthcare. While growing up in Kingsport, TN, he was practically raised roaming the halls of his father’s dental practice. After graduating from Dobyns Bennett High School with honors, he achieved his lifelong goal of playing collegiate soccer. The dream brought him to Nashville, where he attended Lipscomb University on athletic and academic scholarships. While attending Lipscomb, he came to know and love the great city of Nashville. After graduating, he left the city for four years to attend dental school at the University of Tennessee in Memphis. He was always eager to return to Middle Tennessee after school, though. While attending UT-Memphis, he was awarded the Harold S. Cloogman scholarship for academic performance. He also served with numerous student organizations over his four years.

After graduating in 2008, Dr. Kirby made the journey back to Nashville to practice dentistry. Over the last decade, he has worked in both private practice and corporate dentistry. He is very excited to make the transition to Green Hills area! He enjoys building relationships with his patients, serving them with care and compassion and treating them as he would want to be treated. Dr. Kirby enjoys all aspects of dentistry, but he especially enjoys cosmetic dentistry and dental implant restoration.

When he isn’t busy in the office, Dr. Kirby’s hobbies include reading, listening to music, playing racquetball, and spending time in the great outdoors. He is an avid fan of both the Tennessee Titans and the Nashville Predators, and you can regularly find him at professional sports games.

Dr. Kirby and the staff are greatly looking forward to meeting you, and they want you to know that everyone here can’t wait to make you smile!
