STE 201, 161, Capital Drive, Knoxville, Tennessee

Closed · Opens Monday at 6:30 AM

Documented for dental implants in Knoxville, with root canal treatment on the service list and 10 procedures on file.

Read full description
Gary R. Woodall, DDS is located on Capital Drive in Knoxville, Tennessee, a practice that brings together routine general dentistry and a strong cosmetic focus. Patients in the surrounding Knoxville neighborhoods can rely on it for both the dependable care that keeps teeth healthy and the treatments aimed at improving the appearance of their smile. General dentistry forms the everyday backbone of the practice. Exams, cleanings, fillings and the ongoing preventative care that catches problems early make up the bulk of what most patients need, and this steady, fundamental work makes the practice a sensible choice for individuals and families looking for a reliable dentist near home on Capital Drive. Where the practice extends beyond the basics is in its cosmetic and restorative offerings. Teeth whitening and veneers give patients straightforward routes to refining and brightening their smile, while dental implants provide a more substantial option for replacing missing teeth and restoring both function and confidence. Because these services sit alongside general care, patients can move from a routine check-up into cosmetic or restorative treatment without changing practices. Emergency dentistry rounds out what the practice can handle. Dental problems rarely arrive at a convenient time, and a local option for urgent issues means patients aren't left scrambling when something suddenly goes wrong. For people across Knoxville, that mix of routine, cosmetic, restorative and emergency care makes the practice of Gary R. Woodall, DDS a versatile choice. Whether the visit is an overdue cleaning, a whitening treatment, an implant consultation or an unexpected emergency, the practice is geared to cover the spread of dental needs that come up over the course of ordinary life in the area. With a practice that pulls cosmetic and restorative work alongside everyday dentistry, patients gain the convenience of a single team that already knows their teeth when a new need arises. Someone in for a routine clean who mentions wanting a brighter smile can be guided toward whitening or veneers without starting over elsewhere, and a patient facing a missing tooth can discuss implants in the same familiar setting. For Knoxville residents seeking a dentist on Capital Drive they can stay with over the long term, that continuity is a meaningful part of the appeal.

How to Choose a Dentist in Knoxville

Use the ranking as a starting point, then narrow the shortlist based on the kind of care you actually need.

If you want routine or family care

Prioritize review consistency, insurance friendliness, practical hours, and a broad general-dentistry service mix over marketing language alone.

If urgency matters

Confirm same-day capacity, after-hours guidance, and whether the clinic handles urgent restorative work in-house or refers out.

If affordability matters most

Compare financing signals, insurance notes, and the local cost guide. A higher-ranked clinic is not automatically the best value for your specific treatment.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Do you accept my insurance or offer payment plans?
  • Are you taking new patients right now?
  • Do you handle my treatment in-house?
  • What is the total expected cost before treatment starts?
EditorialUpdated August 19, 2026Independently reviewed

This is the short list. Ten providers in Knoxville, Tennessee that consistently showed up in the data — not because they paid to be here, but because their patients keep coming back and referring others. If you're weighing options for root canal treatment in Knoxville, start here.
