Chesney Dentistry is about providing excellent dentistry in a comfortable and friendly environment. Dr. Chesney began his West Knoxville practice over 30 years ago. In 2013 his son, Dr. Nathan Chesney, joined the practice and in 2016 they opened their second location in North Knoxville. Chesney Dentistrys core values are Kindness, Quality, and Convenience and our team wants you to experience these values every time you come to our practice. We look forward to taking care of you in our friendly, professional, and relaxed atmosphere.
A native of Knoxville, Dr. Gary Chesney began providing patients, friends and family in Knoxville and the surrounding area with exceptional dental care over 30 years ago. Since 1983 Chesney Dentistry has been serving the East Tennessee region and earning the trust of our patients by investing our time in understanding the unique dental needs and delivering high quality personalized dental service to each individual patient. Our conservative approach is committed to the highest standards of integrity and superior clinical care, and we take pride in recommending personalized dental treatment with your unique needs and goals in mind to help you achieve your healthiest, brightest smile possible. Dr. Nathan Chesney is proud to be carrying on these traditions and followed in his fathers footsteps by joining Chesney dentistry in 2013. Together, they saw the need to offer additional convenience to our patients by joining with Dr. John Major and opening our second location in North Knoxville in early 2016. Chesney Dentistrys core values are Kindness, Quality and Convenience and our team wants you to experience these values every time you come to our practice. We look forward to taking care of you in our friendly, professional and relaxed atmosphere.
At Chesney Dentistry, our patients convenience and comfort are our priorities. We offer a complimentary beverage bar; a comfortable, welcoming environment; and the most advanced dental technologies available to make your dental visits as convenient as possible while maintaining exceptional quality. Our team members are kind, respectful and experienced; and our environment is friendly, but professional. We always work to build relationships, establishing trust and understanding in each patients unique concerns and dental health needs.
For patients that may suffer from dental anxiety, we have nitrous oxide (laughing gas) available, or we can prescribe an oral sedative. Please let us know if that is something you would like to consider.
At Chesney Dentistry we use the latest, state-of-the-art technology which allows us to be on the cutting edge of dentistry. This allows us to eliminate a significant amount of paper for charts and insurance claims as well as chemicals to process x-rays.
The Omnicam provides a precise 3D (full-jaw) scan in natural color. With its sleek, light weight design the digital impressions are easy, quick, and more comfortable for our patients. The Omnicam is used instead of the conventional messy impression material to take impressions for crowns and bridges and give a much more accurate and precise crown or bridge. The digital impression is sent to the lab so the crown or bridge is received much sooner than using the conventional impression material.
At Chesney Dentistry we use digital radiography which allows us to take x-rays using significantly less radiation than the older, conventional film x-rays. With digital x-rays the amount of radiation exposure that someone gets is similar to being in the sun for about 10 minutes. Using digital technology, we are able to take an x-ray by using a small sensor that records the image of teeth and sends it directly into our computer. The result is a highly detailed image that can easily be enhanced to better diagnose dental concerns and determine the best treatment for each case. In addition, in the event that a referral to another dental professional is needed, we can easily forward digital records for their immediate review.
Using the latest digital technology not only allows us to be at the cutting edge of dentistry but is keeping with Chesney Dentistrys commitment to be Eco Friendly. We utilize digital charting and electronic claims submission which allows us to eliminate a huge amount of paper for charts, insurance claims, as well as the chemicals to process x-rays.
To assist in our patients abilities to visualize and understand their dental conditions, at Chesney Dentistry we will frequently use a small digital camera. An intraoral camera is about the size of a pen and it can help to clearly see the condition of teeth and gums. With this advanced technology we can zoom in to see small areas so we can demonstrate cracks, chips, worn metal fillings, or areas of possible disease with precision. The full-color images taken with these cameras are instantly sent to a computer screen so we can clearly see and diagnose potential dental problems much earlier than with more traditional dental technology. This assists us with protecting, restoring and enhancing our patients dental health and the natural beauty of our patients smiles.
Our office uses a thorough sterilization technique, to go above and beyond, so our tools are exceptionally clean. A two step process is used by running the instruments through an industrial cleaner and then an autoclave.

Dr Bell was great. Never felt the the shot very detailed and painless. Walked me through the whole procedure. I hadn't been to a dentist in sometime and he made it a good experience. Thanks again.

My daughter has severe anxiety about new situations and is often fearful of medical/dental procedures. Dr. Chesney and his staff have always been very kind and mindful of my daughter's needs and they are very gentle with her. They also explain what they are going to do so that she can understand and her fears be put to ease. They are also very accommodating and patient with my needs as well as a concerned and often overly cautious mother. I am pleased and thankful for Dr. Chesney and his team. I will also be bringing my son to see him soon. Thank you!

I had called the Tazewell pike location but they were booked solid. They gave me the number for the Loudon Road office. I called them and they got me in to see Gary Chesney. When I arrived it didn't take long for them to take me back. They took X-rays and then Dr. Gary came in and checked my teeth.They gave me Advil for my pain. They did another X-ray and he said it appears to be an infection and I would need to see an oral surgeon. They got me an appointment while I was there and I went straight to Dr. McConnell. Both offices were great and very Accommodating. What I thought was a bad tooth ache turned into an infection and Dr McConnell gave us our options. We decided to have the tooth pulled. He did this while we was there. He called about 9:00pm and checked on me. Both Gary's office and Dr McConnells offices were great. Thanks to all and for Dr. Chesney's office for making calls to get me in with Dr. McConnell N

Gary and his staff have always been professional and courteous. Gary is very thorough and always cheerful. The techs are the same. This latest time was the second time with Kristen and she was very thorough and fun to talk to. I have been going to Gary Chesney for at least thirty years. Good to know that his son and son in law may take over if and when Gary ever retires. Charles Garvey

My whole family uses Chesney Dentistry. We have been using them for 5+ years. Not only is Gary really knowledgeable but he really does care for his patients and the future of their teeth. He is always very kind and allows parents to go back with their kiddos. His Staff and him are amazing and I recommend them to everyone young and older.
