"I can't recommend this dental office enough! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a warm and friendly team. They took the time to clearly explain all my treatment options, ensuring I felt comfortable and informed every step of the way. During the procedure, their empathy and care we're evident, making what could have been a stressful experience much more manageable. The office is impeccably organized and runs like a well oiled machine. I was in and out with minimal wait times. If you're looking for a dental practice that combined professionalism with genuine kindness, look no further."
- Tina Shen
"After having a root canal done by East Franklin Dentistry, the atmosphere there was comforting and their team were absolutely fantastic. They were able to take me in right away for an exam and provided me with the right treatment option when I’ve experienced a painful toothache that was caused by another dental office. Their cost/payment options were a lot better than I expected after visiting other offices that I have been to as well! I appreciate Dr. Haslam and the rest of the ladies for their kindness and compassion!"
- Ivy Ramirez
"Such a wonderful dental office, the staff are super friendly and comforting. They make you feel like family and explain any treatment plans needed as well as how any dental process works to give you peace of mind. Also Kaitlyn is a rockstar! She was the first person I met when I walked in and she felt like a longtime friend when I walked out. I definitely recommend East Franklin Dentistry if you want people who care about you and your teeth!"
- Tanesha Harris
"First time experience and everything went great. Itzel did a wonderful job cleaning my teeth. She was very friendly and gentle with the cleaning. I also had a filling done with Dr. Haslam, who did an excellent job as well, I hardly felt a thing. They were all very professional and efficient, 5/5 all around!"

The office itself was pretty great too, it was quiet, and peaceful."

"After 28 years with my dentist in California this is exactly the practice that I was looking for! Katelyn was super friendly upon entering and Chelsea took her time and was patient with me. She was very thorough and very personable. Dr. Haslam listened to my concerns and really heard me. He didn’t try to push me to do anything at this time which I respect. I found the dental practice for me!"
- Cameron Wade
"I have had mixed experiences with dentists here in Franklin, so I took a flyer on my new dentist. I came in with tooth pain that I was sure was going to result in a root canal or extraction. After the X-rays and Dr. Haslam consultation with several tests and troubleshooting, he gave me options, but narrowed down the problem as a jaw infection. He gave me antibiotics and three days later, I feel a lot better. I like the no-pressure options and I am happy to say that I FINALLY have an honest dentist. I have already booked my cleanings am excited to get back on track with someone I now trust. Try them out! You won’t be disappointed."

"Amazing experience. Professional, quick, kind personnel with a clean new office. Got me in same day for an emergent root canal. Dropped what they were doing and tended to my issue - I’m sure I ruined their lunch breaks etc. but they could tell I was in pain and they took care of me. So appreciative!!!"
- Julie Trott
"I have always been terrified of the dentist but when I arrived at the office the entire staff was so kind and made me feel comfortable. I had my teeth cleaned and checked for the first time in almost 10 years and it was painless! I set up another cleaning for 6 months. Dr. Marshall was so kind and there was no shaming about how long I had gone without a checkup/cleaning. I give them an A+!! So nice!"
- Paige Reed
My family and I started going to this dental office and wow are they amazing! Everything feels very welcoming and comfortable. Dr. Marshall did a great job taking care of me. i usually hate when dentists use their tools to clean my teeth and gums, but Dr Marshall assured me that it would there would be no discomfort. He was right! I had a great time and i will recommend to my friends and family.
- Juan Soto
I am so grateful for this group and them getting me in so early for an unplanned (but urgently needed) root-canal. My tooth was poorly crowned by another dental group and got infected. I was in the worst pain of my life until my root canal this morning, then I felt instant relief and even went straight to work afterwards. Very appreciative of their cost-effective and quality dental work! Thank you!
- E. Brad Henderson
Truly the best experience at a Dentist’s office I’ve ever had. Dr. Haslam and his team were wonderful and I couldn’t be more thankful for all they did for me in relieving the severe pain I was in. I was also able to get a same day appointment which I was so grateful for. I would give them 10 stars if that was an option. Thank you all so much, East Franklin Dentistry!
- Kathryn Casey
I had a wonderful experience at East Franklin Dentistry. I got the best cleaning I've ever had, and my x-rays were done efficiently and without causing me any discomfort. The dentist was thorough, gentle, and personable. I would highly recommend this new practice to anyone needing routine or extensive dental work. The location is great, too - no fighting traffic to get in or out!
- Jan
East Franklin Family Dentistry was so great to work with. I came in with a dental emergency, and was met with quick and friendly service. Dr. Haslam and Emilee made sure I was comfortable They gave me multiple options for treatment, which was super helpful. Everyone who works there was warm, patient, and fun to be around. So glad I found them and excited to switch our family's regular dental services over to them.
- Cassie Thornton
These folks represent everything a dental office should be. They are empathetic and truly care about you! I have gone to 4 other dentist offices to try to get help for 2 teeth. Each of those offices wanted to do X-Rays and check the issue to only provide me some multi-thousand dollar care plan! Did they give me free service? No, but I don’t want free!
Even though I have insurance, that’s not sufficient for everyone else, but these amazing people said you need relief and we’re here to help!😊❤️🙏
You all represent everything a dental practice should be!! I pray everyone in the surrounding area sees this and gives y’all a chance! Y’all deserve to be recognized for your superior service, skill, and hearts!! I pray God blesses you in your life🙏

Today was the first time my daughter & I came to this dentist office. Dr. Haslam, Chelsea, and Emily were all phenomenal. They did an excellent job with my daughter and took great care of her. They walked her through every single thing they done and checked on her constantly. Definitely recommend anyone to make this their home dental office.
