Patient Testimonials

Excellent experience from start to finish. The procedure was quick and painless, and the staff was friendly and attentive. Recovery was smooth thanks to clear aftercare instructions. I highly recommend this office to anyone needing oral surgery.

Dr Shanks and his employees are all very personable and professional . I had surgery there 3 years ago and will have surgery again next month. I have complete confidence in them.

I have an unimaginable phobia of the dentist. As soon as I sit in the chair I immediately can't speak and tears just fall. I can not control it or explain it. However they were very patient and respectful with me. It isn't fear of pain. It simply is an unexplainable fear of a dentist chair. They fixed my dental issue and didn't judge me. I appreciate that very much. I'm not even sure I spoke two words the whole time I was there. Thank you for caring for me.

Wonderful and caring experience. Both of our daughters have had wisdom teeth extracted with excellent outcomes. The staff, doctor, and facility were all great. Would definitely recommend either the Knoxville or Maryville location for Dr.Shanks.

Excellent experience from start to finish. My twin boys had their wisdom teeth removed, and the entire team was incredibly professional, kind, and helpful. The doctor, front desk staff, and assistants all went above and beyond to make sure we understood everything and felt comfortable. The doctor even called later that evening to check on them, which meant so much to us. Highly recommend!

Two of my kiddos had wisdom teeth extractions this year and both had phenomenal experiences. From the consult to the procedure day to a follow up phone call after surgery...we knew they were in great hands and well cared for. Highly recommend!

This group of professionals is the greatest! From the front desk to the back office, nothing but sweet caring people and excellence in oral surgery! I had to go from local anesthesia to full and they handled the transition perfectly even though it crammed into their other procedure times. This is the place to go to get your specialty dentistry done!

The whole procedure was very impressive, from explaining in details, the time it took, I was unaware of the time, very quick! Excellent in explaining medication and what to expect after.

Dr. Shanks was extremely professional. I would highly recommend him to anyone! I have had dental work in the past and felt like someone had beat my face but not this time! I’m not even really sore! Will definitely use him for any future dental procedures.
