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.
