Dr. Melanie Kitsman

Dr. Melanie Kitsman is a general dentist at Sullivan Dental Partners, where she cares for patients with a focus on comfort, quality, and treatment that feels personal. Growing up in California, she knew from an early age that she wanted to become a dentist, and that early sense of purpose has guided every step of her career.

Dr. Kitsman moved to Washington state on a Division I soccer scholarship, where she earned her bachelor’s degree while competing at the collegiate level. She then returned to California to attend the Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry at the University of Southern California. After dental school, she completed a General Practice Residency in New York, gaining advanced training in all areas of general dentistry and a well-rounded foundation for treating patients with a wide range of needs.

Before relocating to Nashville, Dr. Kitsman owned a private dental practice in Southern California, an experience that gave her a broad perspective on patient care and what it takes to earn lasting trust. For the past four years, she has enjoyed caring for patients as an associate dentist, with a focus on creating a comfortable experience while providing high-quality, personalized care.

She is passionate about continuing education and regularly pursues advanced training to stay current with the latest techniques and technology. For her patients, that commitment means care that reflects today’s best practices and the highest standard of dentistry at every visit, from routine checkups to more involved treatment.

Outside the office, Dr. Kitsman enjoys discovering new local restaurants, traveling, golfing, snowboarding, lake days, DIY home projects, and spending time with her husband and dogs. Whether she is on the slopes, on the golf course, or out on the lake, she brings the same energy and enthusiasm to life outside dentistry that patients feel in our Brentwood office.
