Dr. Osinusi is proud to serve Smyrna and the families of Middle Tennessee.

Raised in a Christian home, he grew up with a strong foundation in faith, service, and caring for others. Those values continue to shape both his personal life and the way he approaches dentistry today.

He attended Ezell-Harding Christian School and Belmont University before earning his Master's degree in Biomedical Sciences from Barry University in Florida. He later returned to Tennessee to earn his dental degree from the University of Tennessee College of Dentistry in 2017. Following dental school, he completed a one-year Advanced Education in General Dentistry residency through the University of Tennessee at Matthew Walker Comprehensive Health Center.

Dr. Osinusi has continued to expand his clinical training throughout his career, with advanced education in implant dentistry and experience working alongside oral surgeons and prosthodontists on complex cases, including full-mouth implant rehabilitation and All-on-X treatment.

His approach to care is personal, thoughtful, and centered on the individual. Dr. Osinusi takes the time to get to know his patients, understand their concerns and goals, and explain their treatment options clearly. He believes dentistry should never feel rushed. Instead, patients should feel comfortable asking questions, confident in their decisions, and genuinely cared for throughout every step of their experience.

Faith remains an important part of Dr. Osinusi's life and continues to influence the way he values service, relationships, and community. Outside of dentistry, he enjoys spending time with his family, being an active member of his church community, and playing soccer.

At Rooted Dental, Dr. Osinusi's goal is to provide high-quality, personalized dentistry in an environment where patients feel known, respected, and well cared for. Whether someone is visiting for preventive care or navigating a more complex treatment plan, he is committed to providing thoughtful care with the time, attention, and clinical expertise each patient deserves.
