After recently moving to Texas and having one of the worst dental experiences of my life at my new location, it made me want to swing back around and truly thank Cornerstone Dental Arts for the amazing job they did while I was living in Knoxville. Such a professional and knowledgeable office that takes great care of its patients. Thank you for paying extra close attention to my teeth! You guys rock! read more

I suggest to stay away from this place. They will suggest services not required and bill you. Does not know how insurance works. Rude and unprofessional Dentist with poor bedside manners! read more

Actually talk to people instead of sending a text telling you you are not a good fit for their business. Just because no one checked messages or answered the phone to find out wasn't able to come due to herniated disc's in neck and nerve damage. read more

I had the worst dental experience in my life at Cornerstone under the hands of Dr. Pate. I went in after my dentist moved, because of a friends recommendation. Dr. Pate said I had a cavity in between two teeth and supposedly fixed them. When I went back because of discomfort his words were" oh there is a problem, and I need to re do the filling. He said he left bubbles in the filling that had to be redone. I had never heard of such a thing. He said I'm sorry, I wont charge you. However I got a bill for $676. I called the office 5 times and asked to speak to him, he finally called me and said he would look back at the records and call me back and that he was a "good Christian " and would see what he could do. He never did call me and I got another bill...so I sent three payments of 10 to his office in cash but when I got another bill the payments were not taken off. Today I got a letter from a collection agency and when I told her the story, she said, " call your attorney" this is not good and that they would put a hold on the collection until I pursued legal action . DON'T GO TO DR. PATE!!!! read more

The people there are truly amazing especially Dr Williams. He listened to my dental fears and he truly cared and was not condescending like other doctors I've spoken to. He made me feel so at ease. I am forever grateful to this man. read more

Let me just start by saying that I am NOT in San Francisco and I don't know why Yelp automatically puts me there; I'm a native born East Tennessean and lived here all my life. Now, for the review: I had a root canal at Cornerstone in April of 2023. I was not an established patient there, but was in terrible pain and my regular dentist did not do root canals. I very much appreciated that the Cornerstone dentist saw me and did the root canal right away. After the root canal, the pain stopped. When I went back six months later to have the tooth checked, the dentist said all looked good. At this point, I wonder about that. Why? Now, just under two years later, I had routine X-rays done at my regular dentist and the root canal the Cornerstone dentist did has failed...already. The decay is still in the tooth and has traveled all the way under the bone. The dentist said I am not feeling pain because the nerve of the tooth was killed with the root canal and the bone does not have sensitive nerves like a tooth (at least that's what I understood him to say.) The long and the short of the story is that the tooth can't be saved now. I have an appointment with an oral surgeon this week to have the tooth extracted. My regular dentist said it would be understandable if the root canal had failed at something like fifteen years, but two years is unacceptable. I got the impression that he thought it was likely that the dentist at Cornerstone did not get all the decay when he did the root canal. The oral surgeon also seemed shocked that the root canal was apparently not done correctly. This is a big expense, both for a bad root canal ($2000.00, as I recall) and an extraction. And after extraction, an implant or a bridge, both many thousands of dollars. Not to mention all the worry, trouble and unnecessary pain of having the tooth finally be unsalvageable. I would not go back to Cornerstone again. read more

Absolutely the best quality and kindness. I have been terrified of dentist all my life, not ANYMORE. I adore Dr Williams and ALL HYGIENIST. Today I seen Deena. She was extremely thorough, yet gentle. read more

I discovered Cornerstone during a broken tooth emergency. They worked me in right away and Dr. Murchison was wonderful and a true artist in crafting a temporary tooth. I have many dental problems and set up a "works" assessment. I am in the process now. Dr. Griffin extracted 6 teeth. He provided a sedative and used stem-cell extraction to promote healing. Next came a root canal by Dr. Murchison. Again, a wonderful experience. I have never experienced such professional dental treatment with true Southern hospitality and care as a patient. Shout out to Christina, schedule and payment/insurance coordinator for both Drs. There are too many aids and assistants to recall but every one friendly and capable. If you need dental work, Cornerstone is your one-stop provider...and they have chairs in the procedure rooms that massage your back! I gave them 5 stars because there was no way to give them more!

My family has been seeing the staff at Cornerstone Dental for a number of years and we are always so impressed with their care. The office is immaculate, the staff is always so kind and the dentists speak to you like a friend, not a client. I am a personal fan of the massaging dental chairs.... YES PLEASE. Over the last few years we decided to move our children to Cornerstone Dental instead of a pediatric dentist and the staff is AMAZING with small kiddos. My boys enjoy going to the dentist, have no fears about getting their teeth looked at and ALWAYS look forward to the treasure box, new tooth brush and toothpaste afterwards. Thanks Cornerstone Dental! read more

I have had TMJ issues all of my life and was told to come here. Dr. Ben Stroud only deals with certain types of TMJ and was not able to help me but I thought he was supposed to be an expert?? and was pretty condescending to me when I expressed my frustration about whether or not I would need braces because I haven't been able to get a straight answer because of my tongue thrust, and he blamed me for not working on it enough. Turns out, it's because of my skull structure. Which he should have been able to see as an expert. Also, the myofunctional therapist he recommended, Betty Grieco was INCREDIBLY rude and judge mental. read more

Thank you Dr Griffin for making my daughters dental experience an easy one. You were so kind and gentle with her and her teeth look great!! The whole family has found a new dentist! Thank you!! read more

I have been going to Cornerstone for over 25 years. I am a big chicken and they always put me at ease. They take excellent care of my family. read more

It's all about money. If you are young and good looking and want to spend a lot of money,this is the place for you. Dr. Griffin used to have a great friendly office staff and now his office manager is a late middle aged mannish woman who is gruff and rude.The hygienist is 19 years old and silly. I spent over $10,000 and now they want me to spend another $20,000 replacing my front teeth with crowns instead of more reasonably priced resin bonding.Now I am old,tired,and will start over after paying them $450 for "dental loyalty"up front. Don Ramsey,M.D. read more

Dr. Stroud is wonderful and so is the Staff, however, they do not give out all of the information they are supposed to provide... for example the fact that they are not in Network for ANY insurance companies. I asked prior to coming to the office and was told they were in network with my insurance company, come to find out after the bill came, they are not. This left me paying DOUBLE the amount I would have paid at an in network dentist for a routine check up and three fillings. VERY DISAPPOINTED in the lack of information provided and I feel very taken advantage of as a young adult trying to figure out healthcare. read more

I first went to Cornerstone with dental issues far more complex than the standard filling, extraction or root canal. I needed some serious reconstruction and over the years I had been screwed by numerous other dentists, so I was scared and not trusting. But that all changed when I learned about Cornerstone. At Cornerstone I didn't simply get a single dentist, instead I had a TEAM of skilled, compassionate professionals focus in on my dental issues with skills I had never witnessed before. I received a ton of work that includes implants, and they were there for me 24 hours a day, seven days a week! Again, I've never experienced this degree of skill and compassion all under one roof. I would recommend Cornerstone to anyone seeking either routine dental services like cleanings or fillings as well as folks like me, that needed some serious, SERIOUS, dental work! I LOVE these folks and will never change Cornerstone. read more

Dr. Griffin and staff are fantastic. There is a welcoming atmosphere which puts you right at ease. The hygienists are thorough and efficient. Scheduling is easy and the check out process is smooth. On two occasions, we have had to reach Dr. Griffin after hours for dental emergencies, and he immediately addressed our questions and took care of the situation in a timely manner. read more

For my wife and I, our regularly scheduled appointment with a dentist had always been one that we rescheduled at least two or three times. We disliked going to the dentist so much that we would do anything we could to find something that was more important than getting our teeth cleaned. Based on the recommendation of a close friend we chose Cornerstone Dental Arts, and our expectations for what going to the dentist is supposed to be like have forever changed. Not only did Dr. Stroud and our hygienists, Mandy & Jennifer, give us the most comprehensive exam we have ever had, we actually found ourselves laughing and having fun while we were there. It was evident how much pride they take in their work and how much they genuinely care about their patients on a personal level. read more

I have been a patient at this practice over twenty years and I refer my friends and associates on a regular basis. The staff is wonderful and the technology is state of the art. Dr. Kimrey is very gentle and considerate of his patients. read more

I would whole-heartedly recommend Cornerstone Dental Arts to anyone who is looking for an amazing dental office. Not only are they warm and welcoming, but they are also patient and understanding when you are nervous or apprehensive at all. I have never had a more thorough exam than the one I got when I came here for my very first visit, and they presented all my options, including which steps were priority and why. I have complete confidence in them, and I have never in my life been able to say that about any dental office before. I am very thankful that I found them. If you're looking for a change, this is the place you want to go. I only wish I had found them years ago. I can confidently say they will be my dental office for the rest of my days! read more

Due to preexisting bone loss I showed up at Cornerstone with no teeth and dentures I could not wear. Dr Griffin, thru his determination, commitment and compassion, was able to rebuild bone for me, and complete the implant procedure. They were able to make an impression of my daughter's teeth (she had my exact teeth) and my new teeth are perfect. My case presented quite the challenge, but Dr Griffin and his WONDERFUL STAFF, never wavered. I now have the most beautiful teeth and they fit so well I don't even feel them. I can't recommend Cornerstone enough, you will not be disappointed. Be prepared to be greeted warmly as you enter the door and made to feel that you are their priority. Rhonda Velasquez read more
