Dr. John Rippy, a native of Gallatin and a graduate of the University of Tennessee's College of Dentistry, is delighted to be returning home to Tennessee to join his father, Dr. B. J. Rippy, in meeting the dental needs of patients in Sumner County and the surrounding areas. Dr. Rippy has spent the last three years in a large family dental practice in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, and he is excited to bringing his extensive knowledge of the latest advances in dental care to his patients. He is an active member of the American Dental Association and the Tennessee Dental Association, and he devotes substantial time to continuing education and technical advancement, ensuring his patients receive the highest quality care available. A family man at heart, Dr. Rippy and his wife, Teresa, were married in 2006 and have 3 young boys: Jackson, Garrett, and Michael. When he is not treating patients, he enjoys spending time in the outdoors, fishing and camping with his boys or in the garage building, woodworking, welding and "fixing things".
