Fantastic experience: Amazing place. I haven’t been to dentist longer than i would like to admit, but they made me so comfortable I will go here forever now
Positive experience: Is this only for implants and do u accept Medicaid/Medicare with UHC as part c ?
Fantastic experience: After 5 days of pain, terrible experience of corporate medical office, finally i found what patient needs: professional care, very knowledgeable and experienced doctor, hygienist and very pleasant staff, as well as really clean and beautiful office which "comes you down", despite pain, which btw gone completely before the end of appointment. 5 stars!

Fantastic experience: I have an anxiety disorder, so dentist appointments can be difficult for me. This office is absolutely lovely. Every member of the staff is so friendly and welcoming. I hadn’t been to the dentist in years, and nobody was judgmental or lectured me on what I should be doing. You can really tell they all care about their patients. The office is decorated to look like a spa instead of a dentist office which is so helpful if you’re nervous or anxious about the dentist. Whether you need general cleaning or extensive periodontal work, I would highly recommend coming here.

Fantastic experience: very compassionate n caring. professional staff. thanks to u all
Fantastic experience: Dr. Cain was very impressive. He gave a lot of information on how he would treat my problem. IHe was very infoormative on everything,
Fantastic experience: Great staff, great Dr. and great service… couldn’t have been treated with more professionalism and care …. Would highly recommend!!
Fantastic experience: I had a gum graft to stabilize my teeth. The procedure took approximately an hour and a half. I went directly to work afterward and worked the following day. I received local anesthesia and because the entire left lower side of my gum line was being pulled away from my teeth, I received significant injections of numbing agent. However, something was applied to my gums prior to the injections and the injections were virtually painless. I felt no pain or discomfort during the procedure. I was given prescription strength ibuprofen and ice packs after the procedure. I followed instructions and honestly, I never felt any pain during or following the procedure. I was advised that I would probably swell and bruise, which I did in the hours following. The bruising was significant but amazingly I never felt pain or even discomfort. I took the antibiotic and ibuprofen as prescribed, iced regularly and the bruising resolved in about 4 days. My gums look healthy and I feel great. I cannot be more pleased with my experience.
Fantastic experience: The whole team is just AWESOME! Professional,Respectful and Caring people, especially Maryland and Leslie. It's a pleasure to see them every time.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Leo . We really enjoy seeing you as a patient and look forward to future visits with you.

Fantastic experience: I have always made an appointment quickly, they care , always very clean, and they have always taken care of me !
Fantastic experience: I travel from crossville to Knoxville for the very best dental care staff highly recommend
Positive experience: It was good experience, although after nitrous oxide I would have appreciated if I could have given the option to lay down for 10-15mins to recover properly. I felt slightly disoriented.
Fantastic experience: I have to go 4 times a year and every time I go, I am treated like family. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Very professional and knowledgeable. A great staff and a very warm feeling office.
Fantastic experience: First experience with East Tennessee Perio, and a good first one. Considerate, thorough explanation of issues and proposed resolutions, took a much time as needed to answer my questions!

Fantastic experience: Outstanding dental experience. Beautiful relaxing office, treatment areas, calm, professional, knowledgeable staff who really take an interest in your health. Thank you Dr Cain, and all your staff!
Fantastic experience: My experience was wonderful. I loved the professionalism that I was met with and felt at ease during my visit. I loved seeing past before and after pictures as well. I look forward to working with Dr. Cain to correct my issues.
Fantastic experience: Everyone that works in that place is friendly, helpful and pleasant, while being very efficient in what they do. They explain what they’re doing and tell you what you are doing well and where you need to make improvements. A very pleasant experience.
Fantastic experience: The entire staff was very professional, Dr.Cane explained procedures to me so I would understand what the end results would be like. Nursing assistant was very friendly and professional too.
Fantastic experience: Dentist Cain and his staff are highly qualified, extremely professional and “down to earth”friendly. My experience with the procedure itself has been excellent. The wait time for my appointments was minimal and the staff handled scheduling and billing procedures efficiently. The competence of the doctor and his team is a rarity and I highly recommend their services.
Fantastic experience: Amazing doctor and staff, very clean facility and state of the art equipment, I recommend highly
Fantastic experience: Dr. Cain is very thorough and smart! I have had a lot of dental work done over the years by many dentist, oral surgeons, endodontist, and periodontist. Dr Cain is the real deal. I would recommend him! He and his staff are friendly and supportive.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Cain is absolutely phenomenal! I used to dread going to the dentist, but their gentle approach and clear explanations have completely changed my perspective. They are incredibly thorough, always take the time to address any concerns, and the entire staff is friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a top-notch dental experience.".
Fantastic experience: One of the most professional experiences I've had in front office and with the dentist. They called when earlier appointments became available, they took me on time, they already had my xrays from my other dentist on the screen in the exam room and I had a wonderful clinical experience. Top notch.
Fantastic experience: Dr Cain and his staff were so friendly and easy going. I tend to get nervous about dental related appointments but I felt at ease in this office. The office its self is very clean, well decorated and cozy! They have set a very welcoming atmosphere with both the ppl and surroundings. I did not feel rushed through my consult. Dr Cain was knowledgeable, patient with questions and didn’t make me feel pressured to make any decisions that day, about treatment. We discussed my options and what made me feel most comfortable. I appreciated having a discussion with a professional who didn’t immediately jump to the worst case scenario and most expensive or complex treatment. We discussed my unique situation, possible outcomes, and treatment options. And we agreed on how to proceed from there.
Fantastic experience: I love the personalized service and attention to detail. Everyone took the time to actually talk to me like a person and not someone who works in the dental industry. I have had too many in the dental profession speak to me in dental terms that I do not understand. I did not feel like just another patient who was rushed in and out. Thank you.
Positive experience: They were incredibly friendly. They were very personable with the patients. They even had a little gift bag at the end. The only reason for the 4 star is that I was called and offered an earlier spot due to a last minute cancellation. Though I accepted, I was left waiting well after my original appointment time had past. So essentially, I lost more work time without the benefit of being seen earlier.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Cain and his staff were kind and knowledgeable. I never felt rushed talking to Dr. Cain during my consultation and appreciated his honesty & professionalism. Would definitely recommend!
Fantastic experience: All the staff were friendly and personable. Dr Cain gave me a very detailed explanation of my problem and what he can do to fix it. Very pleased with my visit.
Fantastic experience: Very professional environment. Everything looked new and well kept. Dr. Cain explained dental procedure in detail. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this place. I have always had a fear of dentists, these guys are absolutely the most patient and caring office if have ever been to. After years of dental neglect, I finally started caring for my teeth and gums and felt no shame at all from the team - just support. When I voiced my opinion on treatment such as delaying grafting or reducing cleanings (for insurance reasons), my voice was heard and respected - no bullying from the staff. I also appreciate them taking the time to explain everything and answer my questions regarding treatment decisions. After 2-3 years of consistent maintenance and treatment my gums have never looked or felt better. I think the staff is excited about the improvement as I am. I highly recommend, even for your regular cleanings.
Fantastic experience: Everyone in the office was very nice and inviting, not to mention they explained everything before the did anything. During the intial exam they were very thorough and felt like they actually wanted to see improvement.
Fantastic experience: The care and concern Dr. Cain and his staff supply is above and beyond what I could have ever expected when finally taking the step towards better health. I can not express my gratitude enough!
Fantastic experience: I've been going to East Tennessee Periodontics for years, and I've always had such a great experience with them. The staff members are all super friendly, attentive and thorough, and Dr. Cain is fantastic and knowledgeable. You're in great hands if you come here.
Fantastic experience: The ladies at the front desk were fantastic they were very professional and friendly. They even remembered my name from last appointment. Dr Cain is one of the best dental person ever delt with So intelligent, caring and really concerned about my health. The whole organization is fantastic!!!!!
Fantastic experience: My experience with East Tennessee Periodontist has always been pleasant. I won’t go anywhere else. They are professional, super friendly. They’ll take care of you. I’ve been going there about 5 years and will continue going for all my dental needs. I’m really happy with my results.
Negative experience: I paid the procedure in full when I did it and they never clarified that each follow-up appointment is not included in the overall billing. They were not clear with me about this. I cancelled all my follow-ups since the overall cost should have covered it as the follow-ups were never disclosed to me that I would get charged
Fantastic experience: Dr. Cain was wonderful to meet with for a consultation and now scheduled resolution. He was thorough with explaining my options and did not try and push any additional services on me which I’ve been used to in the past with other dental practices. He’s authentic and gives you straight forward options.
Fantastic experience: The staff was incredible!!! When I arrived, the receptionist let me know Dr. Cain was running behind. My husband and I started saying tongue twisters to kill time, and others joined in on the fun and laughter. The receptionist not only joined in, she even printed out some tongue twisters to try. Beautiful and clean office, friendly staff, nice doctor, what more can you ask for?
Fantastic experience: Everyone there is very friendly. Made the experience as comfortable as possible. Had the new pursedure for periodontal, and teeth extractions. No sensitivity this time. Would highly recommend them for pursedure.
Fantastic experience: I was a little nervous about the appoinment but Dr Cain explained why and what I needed done to keep from loosing 2 of my teeth and I felt better afterwards that he didn't want to do more than I needed. The appointment for the procedure wasn't a long wait, I was able to get it done soon.
Fantastic experience: I love the staff who welcome's you upon arrival. The dental tech who did my cleaning was very pleasant. Outstanding job. If I do move out of state. I will miss you all very much. Thanks for your service, and keep up the amazing work.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Cain and his team are fantastic! I can't recommend this place enough. Everyone that works here is friendly, warm, and very helpful and well informed. Dr. Cain did an excellent job with my consultation and the procedure that I needed, and he was more than willing to answer my many questions and walk me through the details of my procedure and post-op care. If you have periodontal issues and have anxieties about getting work done, this is the place to go. Thank you all for the great experience!
Fantastic experience: Very personable and explained things in great detail! Dr. Cain was very honest, helpful and made the visit less stressful as being in any dental chair isn't my favorite place to be. :) Overall great staff, and I would certainly recommend.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Canena . We really enjoy seeing you as a patient and look forward to future visits with you.
Cheers!

Fantastic experience: Always have a good experience with my cleaning visits at East TN Peridontacts. Since my periodontal surgery with Dr. Cain a number of years ago he has helped me establish a personal hygiene regimen linked with more frequent cleaning visits. This has helped me reduce my "numbers" substantially and I have no gum issues now. The staff are always friendly and caring.
Fantastic experience: I had another great experience today! Dr. Cain is so knowledgeable and so very thorough with his diagnosis. Thank you to the whole staff for always being so personable while being very professional!
Fantastic experience: Everyone from reception to Dr.Cain is very nice and professional. You can tell they definitely know the Bussiness of periodontics. Very clean and comfortable office. Highly recommend
Fantastic experience: I received excellent care from Dr. Cain. He was thorough in his explanations and instructions. I appreciated his kind words.
Fantastic experience: First impression after my consult…beautiful office, friendly staff and kind and knowledgeable doctor. Dr. Cain answered all of my questions and his staff members were all so nice. I was very impressed!
Positive experience: I wish I had a better experience. As it turns out I didn’t need to even go in for a consultation. My gums and teeth were fine. But clean place with a nice feel for things.
Fantastic experience: Everyone was great for my first visit. They were welcoming and answered all of my questions about my upcoming treatments. I feel confident proceeding with them.
Fantastic experience: The staff was unusually hospitable and warm. Dr. Cain is both personable and brilliant. He explains options extremely well and is oppressed at the very latest treatments. I would recommend. This practice to everyone!
Fantastic experience: Extremely professional staff. I was greeted, welcomed as a new patient, and offered water. Dr. Cain was wonderful. He examined my mouth and recommended NOT doing surgery because it was unlikely to help. I'm always impressed when professionals are so frank with their patients in a positive, clear manner.
Fantastic experience: GREAT first experience other than the rather abrupt receptionist! The teeth cleaning was top notch and careful. Dr. Cain was helpful and thorough. Glad I have switched to ETP.
Positive experience: The information I got from the hygienist regarding X-rays was different from what I was told upon checking out. The hygienist said cost was covered by Medicare. Apparently not!If I had known this I would have not had the X-ray and would have had it done at my primary care dentist. I feel as though I was deceived.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Cain and his staff were friendly and willing to answer questions. I was very happy with the care I got and got a good result.
Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Dr. Cain and staff for all of your Periodontal needs. I received a gum graft and felt well taken care of through the whole process. Also added bonus Dr. Cain texted the night after surgery checking in on me! Great experience!
Negative experience: Beautiful office, great staff. But everything I hate about dental offices today. The amount they were trying to charge for a procedure was ridiculous. Even the fact that dental places have finance offices is disappointing. Will not go back at all. But super nice staff.
Fantastic experience: Can't say enough good things about this practice. Been going there for over 20 years and have never had a bad experience. I highly recommend Dr. Cain and his staff. They're the best!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Cain and his staff are very caring and helpful. Never been to a more loving dentist. I love them. ❤️
Fantastic experience: Wow always a great experience at this office. Support staff is very sharp. Everything was on time and thorough. I cannot imagine how they maintain such high standards always. Very great staff and Dr. Rob Cain is a very gentle dentist. I wish I could give the office 6 stars
Fantastic experience: I had what should be a painful, ghastly procedure done and was pain-free and easy. Really didn't even experience pain afterward. Very caring staff and Dr. Cain is gentle and informative, putting fears at ease.
Fantastic experience: I'm in the process of getting a tooth implant, and Dr. Cain has been very knowledgeable, skillful, and transparent. He has a very knowledgeable a considerate staff which I appreciate. I will be referring anyone I know in need of periodontal work to Dr. Cain. Update: Part 2 of the implant process went very smoothly. I still highly recommend Dr. Cain.
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Dr. Cain! He and his staff were very welcoming and professional. They made me feel at ease and explained the procedure and the follow up care needed to help the area heal properly. I will be returning for all future periodontal needs.
Fantastic experience: Good as always. I mistakenly showed up an hour early due to a mix up on the time zone, but got right in for my teeth cleaning etc.. Everyone was friendly and professional as usual. The facility was clean and attractive. James T. Stewart
Fantastic experience: Once again top notch service!! They did amazing work on my mouth for the second time! I now have 11 rods in my mouth a day later and I barely feel any pain. A little irritation for a major surgery...hell yea! Thank you Dr. Cain for all your time, effort, and work to give me my smile back! I'll be forever grateful!
