Providence Dental Care

Providence Dental Care Dr. LaFever was born and raised in Nashville. While attending dental school in Memphis, he met his wife Leigh Ellen. Dr. LaFever's family has lived in Mt.
(286)

They married in December 1983 and have two children, Lauren and Luke. Juliet since 1993. During his youth, he loved to do various types of art work, especially sculpting, leather work, and oil painting. He has always had excellent hand dexterity and an eye for color, form and shade. These attributes, as well as a love of science, are the qualities that lead him to pursue a career in dentistry. He saw it as a field in which he could be both an artist and a scientist. Other areas of interest include the Bible and Biblical apologetics, science and theology. He enjoys most sports, especially golf. Dr. Gunnels was raised in Mount Juliet. He graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from Tennessee Technological University in Cookeville, TN in 2001. After working for a year he decided to pursue other avenues. Josh wanted a people-oriented profession that encompassed his science background with his love for working with his hands. Dentistry has been a perfect fit. After finishing a few biology courses, he attended the University Of Tennessee School Of Density and graduated in 2008. Upon graduation he felt a strong desire to return home to Mount Juliet in hopes of starting a dental practice where he could serve the community with integrity, compassion and gentle care.
