Denver Tackett Family Dentistry PLLC

Denver Tackett Family Dentistry PLLC was a dental clinic situated at 138 Parkview Dr, Minnie, KY 41651. The practice was owned and operated by Dr. Denver D. Tackett, DMD. The clinic was known for offering a range of general dentistry services, aiming to provide comprehensive dental care to families in the Minnie (formerly McDowell) area and surrounding regions. Services typically offered by family dental practices include routine check-ups, cleanings, fillings, crowns, bridges, extractions, and other procedures aimed at maintaining oral health and addressing common dental issues. However, public records and news reports indicate significant legal troubles for Dr. Denver Tackett and the practice. In 2020, Dr. Tackett pleaded guilty to healthcare fraud. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, he admitted to submitting false and unnecessary claims to Kentucky Medicaid for dental procedures and services performed at his practice. These included billing for "surgical" extractions when only "simple" extractions were performed, or when the procedures were not medically necessary. He also reportedly performed medically unnecessary extractions and submitted claims for unrelated or incidental procedures. As a result of his plea agreement, Dr. Tackett was sentenced to prison, ordered to pay restitution, and permanently surrendered his Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) registration, which prevents him from prescribing controlled substances. He also agreed to refrain from seeking dental registration in the future. This information suggests that Denver Tackett Family Dentistry PLLC is no longer operational under Dr. Tackett's ownership due to these legal proceedings.
