A smile is one of the first things we notice when meeting someone new, and it makes a lasting impression. Just as important, how we feel about our smile can play a large role in our self-esteem and how we interact with others.

I consider myself an extremely blessed and fortunate man to be an orthodontist. It means so much to me that I am able to have a role in creating a dazzling smile and producing a positive outcome for each of my patients.

No two cases are the same, and that is one of the joys of being an orthodontist: with each patient, I am solving a puzzle, determining how I am going to produce a healthy and beautiful smile in the most efficient and effective manner.

Dr. Eberting has been in private practice for nearly two decades. He chose dentistry, then the orthodontic specialty, as his profession following a great experience with his orthodontist. The positive changes in his life as a result of treatment led him to want to help others achieve the same lasting improvement in their self-esteem.

Continuing education, through annual meetings, as well as seminars and lectures, keeps him at the cutting edge of treatment modalities and technologies. This translates to his offering a greater range of treatment options that are delivered in a healthy, safe, and efficient manner.

A native of Allentown, Pennsylvania, Dr. Eberting has resided in Knoxville for almost 20 years. Time with his wife, Virginia and their fourchildren Jaclyn, Juliana, Jeffrey Jr., and Fiona along with his pug, Oscar Bean, is a priority for him.

In his spare time, Dr. Eberting likes running and training for half-marathons; playing the guitar, keyboards, and singing in his band, Midlife Crisis; and attending rock concerts and theatre performances. In addition to attending performances, he has played numerous lead roles in local productions and was a founding board member of the Foothills Community Players theatre company.

Dr. Eberting is an Eagle Scout and a member of the Order of the Arrow. He remains deeply involved with Scouts-BSA, as a former troop committee member and advancement coordinatorfor Troop 46 at Cokesbury United Methodist Church.

When shes not working, Anabel enjoys time with her beautiful daughter Zelda and her partner Ezequiel. The family rarely makes plans, preferring to live in the moment and spontaneously decide what to do.

When shes not in the office, Chasity enjoys arts/crafts, music, movies of the 90s and early 2000s, anything related to Halloween, swimming with her son, and visiting Savannah and Tybee Island in Georgia.

Originally from central Florida, Kyah loves living in Tennessee. She values time with family and friends and cant stand being still for too long. She loves to travel and explore, spend time on the lake, and being outdoors.

Missy keeps our practice running smoothly. She handles HR matters, including negotiations for employee benefits, overseeing personnel policies, and processing employee payroll. She also manages the daily schedules and accounts receivable, and ensures we are compliant with state and federal guidelines.

Missy enjoys living in the Knoxville area. She appreciates the farmers markets, church festivals, and many venues in the downtown area. She loves time with her grown son and family, friends, her church family, and her three Chihuahuas and kitty.

I love dentistry and orthodontics and love coming to the office every day! There is nothing boring about my job: receiving pre-authorization approvals from the insurance company is exciting because I know we are going to make a difference in the patients life!

Patricia has two sons and a grandson, and has been a widow since 1997. She and her husband were married for 36 years. She is the music director at Rockford Baptist Church and director of the churchs annual fall festival, too. Patricia loves the outdoors, whether shes camping, boating, fishing, or hiking.

Oscar is our mascot and patient greeter extraordinaire! Since Oscar is a black pug, his dental education is limited. He knows words like outside, food, upstairs, and his name. Hes not so great with come or sit, but were working on it! Oscar enjoys his time in our office, mostly because Dr. Eberting caters to his every whim, our team takes him outside for walks, and Missy keeps treats for him in her office.

Oscar came to live with Dr. Eberting as a birthday present to his son in 2015. He spends a lot of time sleeping and eating. He loves to go outside and lie on the driveway in the sun. Oscar has been known to bark at people he thinks are strangers. Theyre usually scared of his imposing size (not really). He also tends to bark at people on whom he can smell cigarette smoke. If he does this to you, hes really sorry, but hes just looking out for your health and wellness!
