Dr. Sabin Ewing is a dual-specialized Pediatric Dentist and Orthodontist—an achievement held by only a small number of dentists nationwide. He earned his DDS from the University of Tennessee before completing a three-year Orthodontic Residency at Vanderbilt University, followed by a Pediatric Dental Specialty Residency at NYU–Langone.
Dr. Ewing has published research and delivered lectures on orthodontics, pediatric dentistry, craniofacial development, special needs dentistry, cleft lip and palate, TMJ disorders, and sleep apnea. He is also the founder and Clinical Director of Nashville’s only fully accredited Pediatric Dental Residency Program, where he trains future pediatric dental specialists.
Dr. Ewing and his team look forward to caring for your family.
