ABOUT RIPPY DENTAL

Your Hometown Dentist

Rooted in Trust and Relationships

At Rippy Dental, we believe great dental care starts with relationships. We’ve served Gallatin families for decades—first through Dr. Bill Rippy and now through Dr. John Rippy, who carries forward his father’s legacy of patient-first care.

This isn’t a corporate office focused on numbers. We’re an independent, locally-owned practice where the team knows your name, your family, and your goals—and that’s exactly how we want it.

WHY RIPPY DENTAL?

We Treat You Like Family

Whether you’ve been coming here for 30 years or walking in for the first time, we want you to feel seen, heard, and at ease. Our patients describe their experience as friendly, welcoming, and even fun. From the moment you’re greeted at the front desk to the time your appointment wraps up in private, we respect your time, your comfort, and your privacy.

Dental Care That's Modern, Not Cold

We combine decades of trusted care with the best of today’s dental technology. Patients often tell us they’re surprised by how advanced our equipment is—like our in-house, same-day crowns using the CEREC system—but even more so by how thoroughly we explain every option in simple terms. Dr. Rippy is known for his attention to detail, clear communication, and steady approach.

Why People Refer Us

Most new patients come to us by referral. That’s something we’re proud of. It means we’ve earned trust—not by being flashy, but by consistently treating people well. We take time to understand what matters to you and build a care plan that makes sense for your health, budget, and schedule.

We’re here to help—without pressure, without judgment, and without surprises.

A LOCAL DENTIST YOU TRUST

Meet Dr. John Rippy

Dr. John Rippy was born and raised right here in Gallatin, and he’s proud to serve the community he calls home. After years of watching his father build trusted relationships through dentistry, Dr. Rippy knew he wanted to do the same.

Patients appreciate his calming presence, clear explanations, and high standards. Whether he’s designing a same-day crown or walking a patient through treatment options, he takes the time to get things right—both technically and personally.

Outside the office, Dr. Rippy enjoys spending time with his family and staying connected to the community that shaped him. For him, dentistry isn’t just a profession—it’s a way to serve his neighbors with integrity, compassion, and care.
