You're always assured of advanced dentistry, personalized attention, and a family atmosphere when you visit Fountain City Dental Care. It's something Dr. Stan Pozega and our friendly staff have provided since 1990.
Dr. Stan Pozega was raised in the small coal mining community of Logan, WV. He received his BSBA degree in 1975 from West Virginia University and then moved to Knoxville in 1976 to attend graduate school at the University of Tennessee.
After finishing school and working for several years in Knoxville, he decided it was time to pursue his long-time interest in dentistry - an interest that was fostered by his dentist uncle in Charleston, WV. He subsequently attended dental school at UT-Memphis and graduated in 1989.
Coming back to Knoxville was an easy decision for Dr. Pozega. He initially started his practice in the Gibbs community and then 4 years later (in 1994), he moved to our present location in Fountain City. 'We love this area. It 's a great place to live, practice, and go to church at Fountain City Presbyterian. I 'll be here forever.'
Dr. Stan has been married to his lovely wife, Jamie (who is also one of his hygienists), since 1990. They have a wonderful, young son Mark who is a senior at Carson Newman. Mark intends on following in his father's footsteps by going to Dental School.
Dr. Stan has kept up-to-date by completing many continuing education dental courses. He frequently goes far beyond the minimum requirements set by the state, ensuring that his patients receive the most comprehensive and advanced dental care. He is a proud member of the ADA and the TDA.

First visit was enough to convince me this is not only the best dentist I have been to but perhaps the best business I have ever been to. A now rare experience of excellent customer service and a practice that truly cares about patients. They went above and beyond to get me taken care of. Very much appreciated and a resounding thank you to the staff!

My new crown was bothering me, that was put in last year, by another dentist, and there was swelling. When I called they got in the same day, they very helpful with other services. I don't all the names, but from the call, front desk person, doctor, and staff were friendly, helpful, and professional in all aspects.

I'm convinced Dr. Pozega and his team are the best in Knoxville. On my first visit, all the staff were very friendly and listened to my concerns. I got a very thorough exam and Dr. Pozega took his time and never seemed rushed even with a bush office full of patients! Before my second visit, the office called me with the estimated cost BEFORE the appointment which was incredible. I knew about how much I'd be paying before the appointment even happened. From start to finish, I got numbed up and my cavity filled in less than an hour! This team is so friendly and I'm so glad I found this office! Thank you guys!

Very patient-oriented dental practice. The excellent knowledge and experience of Dr. Pozega and all of his staff are visible in every interaction I have had with them. Peace of mind and trust are priceless when you're in that chair with unfamiliar sounds, smells, and feelings buzzing around your head, especially while not being able to see what's happening. Of course, that is just the necessary 'evil' of maintaining good oral health but it still can be very off-putting. And scary- I learned this the hard way. You DO NOT want to be laying in that chair all numbed up and having serious second-thoughts about the person hovering over you... you know, the one with the sharp, pointy tools in-hand!! Anyway, I am so pleased that I found Dr. Pozega's practice. They are la bomba!

Dr. Pozega and the staff are amazing! They made me feel right at home and comfortable from the moment I walked in. My daughter even said, "I feel like they've known me my whole life!" They were professional, caring, and they made the dentist a place that you don't dread going! If there were more stars I give them more!!

We're new to the area, and I had a horrible toothache/ infection. They got me in quick for an emergency appointment which I couldn't have been more greatful for. The staff was very friendly and made me feel comfortable and welcome. Which was great! I was diagnosed with an abcess. They asked me if I had an allergy to penicillin, to which i replied that I had no allergy to any antibiotics. I have a history of MRSA from a hospital stay 7 years ago and nearly died. I have severe anxiety, especially over any infections. Which I also made sure to mention. The tooth was broken at the gum and in bad shape (thanks to multiple pregnancies, yay kids! Lol) It needed to be removed as soon as i finished the antibiotics. They gave me keflex..which is odd for a tooth infection, but I took it as prescribed. About 8 days after starting them, it still hurt. I let the office know and they acted like they didn't believe me. Telling me to make sure I'm taking it as prescribed. Im an adult and in pain.. I'm taking my medication as prescribed. They were hesitant like i was maybe pill seeking? Im not sure. I specifically requested a new antibiotic. Its an antibiotic not narcotics. I was worried about this infection since it wasn't responding to keflex. It took awhile to get them to call me in anything, they wanted to remove a broken tooth, that was pretty infected and wouldn't likely numb. They do not offer any types of sedation or Nitrous. It would be very painful to extract. After telling them that my schedule would not allow it last minute, they finally called me in a zpak. At this point, I had enough. I was in pain and needed something to fix this. Tylenol wasn't helping, and thanks to a stomach disease..i can't take nsaids. I called another dentist and was seen the next day. The infection was still there and pretty bad. The dentist i seen was baffled as to why this office gave me those medications for a tooth infection. They aren't commonly given for a tooth infection, especially with better choices available. The dentist also informed me that this tooth would need surgically removed and i would need to be sedated. They couldn't believe that another dentist would want to do it in office, while infected and nothing to comfort a patient who would not be able to numb for the extraction. Over all this could have been a fabulous practice for our family but i didn't feel they cared much for my well being. They didn't care to leave me hurting, with an infection festering. (Gross, i know!) I feel as though they could have done better. There isn't a good enough reason why I shouldn't have been given the proper antibiotics for such an infection. I was given penicillin at my new dentist and finally had relief within 3 days. After nearly 2 weeks of pain and discomfort. I'm scheduled for an extraction with a surgical team in 2 weeks, and getting a smile makeover! Everything turned out well in the end, so no hard feelings. We just had an unfortunate experience.
