I've had severe tooth pain for a few months now. I had a filling done back in February and my nerve was exposed, causing me much misery. A week ago, it became infected. My dr's office referred me out to an endodontist for a root canal. After reviewing a few places, it became clear that my only choice was Knoxville Endondontics. I couldn't find a negative review for starters and that spoke volumes. I read online reviews and then spoke to the staff at my dentist's office about K.E. I live in Kingsport, TN and they were giving me info on local endodontists, but I wasn't worried about a convenient drive. After dealing with this pain, I only wanted the best to do my root canal. I didn't mind a 2-hr drive for some peace of mind. Knoxville Endodontics didn't disappoint. I was second in line and within 5 minutes the staff had me checked in and I was already in the chair. Did I mention I was also 10 min early? They were waiting for me. The assistant's name was Victoria and she was great. Very polite, helpful and professional. They did 2 different scans to know exactly what they were dealing with. The endodontist came in, introduced himself and explained in detail what he was going to do. it was Dr. Thomas J. Lucas, D.M.D. I highly recommend him. Very professional! Dr. Lucas went over my scans and read them to me in detail. He explained the process very well. He answered any questions and concerns I had, numbed me up and started the root canal a few minutes later. I felt comfortable the entire time. I truly can't put into words how peaceful I felt about this doctor visit. I had been in pain since early February and I was beyond miserable. At one point, I would've met a dentist in a random parking lot with some pliers and a wad of cash if they would pull the tooth. (JK, maybe) This was the worst pain of my life and I've broken bones, had concussions, severe illnesses, and the fourth of 6 siblings. Getting beat on was a part of my young life, lol. Nothing compared to this pain. They fixed it in what I believe was about 40 minutes and I was out. I'm laying in the bed at almost midnight now and my pain, without medicine, is a 1 or 2. I could cry happy tears. If the situation arises for me or any of my family members, this is the only place I'm going to. 2-hr drive and all. Also, fun fact, they are one of a few offices that charge insurance with your visit. That's much better than paying the full amount and waiting to be reimbursed by your insurance company. So that was a nice surprise. Knoxville Endodontics was great in every way possible. I simply cannot say enough. The overall quality, professionalism, punctuality, knowledge and kindness surpassed my expectations and made a daunting visit, surprisingly peaceful. Thank you, Dr. Lucas and Mrs. Victoria. Y'all are the best!! read more

I was extremely pleased with Dr. Ballard, his assistant and the office staff. I had a root canal done, in their office last year. I did not experience any of the pain afterwards, that I was warned was a possibility. The entire procedure was painless. I recently was having some sensitivity and my dentist sent me back to their office just to ensure that it was not related to the root canal. They were able to see me, the next day. It was determined that the root canal was looking fine. They thoroughly checked each tooth in the vicinity as well. Dr. Ballard said that he wanted to be conservative, at this point, because it was only an intermittent problem. I was thankful that he did not choose to start messing around. If the problem worsens, I will return. read more

First visit to Knox. Endodontics. Very good experience. From the moment I checked in it was smooth sailing. Dr. Ballard's assistant was informative and to the point which I appreciate. No wasted time. Equally so for Dr.Ballard. The root canal had it's challenges with calcification in the roots but he was able to complete the job AND save the tooth which I greatly appreciated. My sincere THANKS to the ladies who checked me in/out, the young lady that assisted Dr. Ballard who's parents raised her "old school", and Dr. Ballard who used the skills GOD Blessed him with to help folks. Respectfully, Michael Light read more

I am so impressed with Dr. Scott & his staff at Knoxville Endodontics. They were so professional, kind, prepared, & worked with precision so quickly. They each had every tool ready for every step in that root canal. I was never in any discomfort nor fear. I didn't even feel the needle to numb it because his assistant had numbed my gums with a solution before time for the needle. I was only there 45 to 50 minutes. I felt so good after the root canal, I went shopping. I drove 2 hours for their care because they were in my insurance network, & I'd happily drive it again if needed. Top notch care. read more

I had a root canal done today by Dr. Benjamin Scott at Knoxville Endodontics. I rarely leave reviews, but the compassion and care that I received today from Dr. Scott and his assistant, Krystle (unsure of spelling, sorry!) is worth mentioning. I am always anxious about dental work, and Dr. Scott took his time with me answering my questions about the root canal process and after care, calming my raging nerves, and making sure I was comfortable before he began. I absolutely did not feel like a "number" or rushed through the office and felt absolutely NO pain. Thank you so much Dr. Scott! read more

Today was my first time at the Knoxville Endodontics. Everyone there was very kind and helpful. I came for a consultation with Dr Wallingford Myers about some issues with my lower front teeth. We talked about what the X-rays showed and he recommended root canals for two of my teeth and said he had someone cancel if I wanted to come back in afternoon and do it. I returned after lunch and Dr. Myers did both root canals. He explained as he did different parts what he was doing. After everything was done I felt very pleased with my experience there and would highly recommend them. read more

While I was very nervous about having a root canal, Dr. Scott went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable. Not only was I completely numb, feeling no pain, but he let me wear noise cancelling headphones to drown out the drill and even put a pillow under my head for comfort. Lisa assisted and continuously checked on me to make sure I was doing well. No root canal is pleasant, but my experience was as pleasing as it could have been. I am grateful for these benevolent professionals who gave me the highest quality of care. read more

I had a root canal done by Stanford Ballard. This was my first and hopefully last. I am not sure what a root canal should feel like after it's completed but I had zero pain. I had some mild discomfort that was controlled with a few tylenol but that was it. I'm pretty sure that Dr. Ballard knows what he is doing or this would feel a lot worse. The music he played during the procedure was awful but that's just a personal opinion:) read more

I was nervous about getting a root canal on the back molar. It is actually three canals. Dr. Powell and his staff were SUPER nice and stepped me through each step and explained everything and made sure that I knew that I could stop at any time, relax, and get up if I needed to. Dr. Powell was exceptionally nice. The root canal was complex and he did a great job. I had only minor pain the next day. I HIGHLY recommend him. read more

Dr. Myers and Jaylon took every precaution to make sure I was comfortable during my root canal. They took time explaining the procedure, allowed intervals of rest and discussed aftercare. The registration and check in was easy. Everyone was super nice. If you have to have a root canal, these professionals can be trusted. It seemed a top priority that I did not feel pain. Very thankful for them! -Buckner read more

They were able to get me seen fairly quickly. Everyone was very friendly. The procedure was explained to me before it was performed in an easy to understand manner. Due to the severity of my condition the procedure was quite painful, I wish a little more care was provided in regards to my pain level during the process. Considering my anxiety toward dental work, it was an overall okay experience. read more

I went for a root canal with much apprehension but my experience with Knoxville Endodontics was amazing. They were nice, professional, and information. The procedure was quick and easy and the only bit of pain I experienced was the initial shot to numb my mouth. I hope to not ever need another root canal but if I do I won't be worried about it knowing that Knoxville Endodontics is here to help. read more

I highly recommend! read more
