What makes us different?
Our office was the first endodontic practice in the Knoxville area to incorporate the use of microscopes as well as digitally captured x-ray images. Microscopes provide an excellent view inside your tooth during treatment allowing the doctor to treat problems in a much more meticulous way. Digital x-rays provide greatly enlarged images of the teeth and allow each image to be captured with far less radiation to you.
Most patients have places they would prefer to be other than a dental office. Some have had bad dental experiences in the past and have significant anxiety. We like to learn from you what special needs you have and customize our approach to your care. Our goal is to give you technically excellent care in a way that leaves you with "spring in your step" when you leave and greater confidence in your ability to have a good dental experience in the future.
We have online collaboration with referring dentists. This allows us to send your dentist x-rays and details of your care in real time. This reduces delays and miscommunications regarding your care.
We employ the latest barrier techniques and follow ADA, CDC, OSHA and TOSHA guidelines relating to infection control. We use 2 autoclaves that are monitored by Blount Memorial Hospital to insure our instruments are being properly sterilized.
We recycle as much of our office waste as possible and have upgraded our equipment to reduce the amount of water we use.
Since 1992 each patient treated has been given a fresh flower upon completion of their visit as a symbol of our dedication to make your visit as comfortable and as pleasant as possible.
Office location
We are located on High Street, not far from the Blount County Courthouse and Ft. Craig Elementary School. The office is surrounded with mature trees and a stand of bamboo which provide pleasant views for the picture windows in the reception and patient care rooms. The trees also provide habitat for birds, squirrels, and a groundhog.
WE are a short drive from Knoxville, Lenoir City, and Sevierville.
Services to those in need
Over the years the staff and doctors of Foothills Endodontics have participated in serving those with unmet dental needs by participation with Remote Area Medical, Good Samaritan Clinic, Blount Smiles, Trinity Dental Clinic and Donated Dental Services.
Holiday Donations
Giving back to local charities has become a tradition to the staff here at Foothills Endodontics. Every year our office chooses a local angel tree or local organization to purchase toys and needed items for. We each take pride in hand picking these gifts/needed items. We look forward to our next opportunity to GIVE a little piece of happiness.
