Recognized as an experienced, well-respected and skilled dentist, Dr. Masso is the owner & operator of Belcourt Family Dentistry, P.C. in Nashville, Tennessee. He enjoys all aspects of dentistry and has a special interest in ceramic dental implants, crowns and bridges, as well as cosmetic, restorative, and general dentistry.

From diagnosis to delivery of care, Dr. Masso specializes in beautifying smiles, maintaining dental health, and helping to improve appearance. He and his experienced and friendly staff take great pride in keeping patients’ smiles beautiful, creating a look as good or better than the teeth nature gave them.  

Before embarking on his professional journey, Dr. Masso graduated from Colegio Odontológico Colombiano in 1985 in Bogota, Colombia. After a successful practice, he moved to the United States and graduated from New York University College of Dentistry in 1993 and practiced in Manhattan until he moved to Nashville where he has had a full-time private practice since 1999. 

A member of the Academy of General Dentistry, he has embraced technology to improve patient care and experience.

Dentistry, also known as Dental and Oral Medicine, is a branch of medicine that consists of the study, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases, disorders, and conditions of the oral cavity. Dentists diagnose and treat dental issues and help patients develop better oral hygiene regimens. They clean teeth, correct bite issues, perform surgeries and extractions, and perform other duties to ensure that the teeth and mouth are healthy.  

On a more personal note, Dr. Masso speaks multiple languages, including English, Romanian, and Spanish.
