Negative experience: Worst experience I’ve ever had at a dentist office. I tried for 6 months to get a partial, everytime I went to pick it up it was always made out of the wrong material. Went 2 months at a time when nobody from that office would call and update me, so I would finally call. They replaced a crown for me in March 2025, just to be told today by another dentist that it needs to be replaced. Just a lil over a year ago. It took me 4 months to get a refund on what I paid on my part of the partial after insurance. STAY AWAY FROM THIS OFFICE!!! They also had put it on my chart that I received my partial and I DID NOT!!! That’s a crime!!!
Fantastic experience: Made b My dentures and they are great. Super nice staff.
Negative experience: A see your phone.
Fantastic experience: Always helpful and Friendly
Fantastic experience: This is the best dentist I’ve ever been to. I am terrified of dentists- like full on panic and hypertensive crises. But Dr. Cunningham is so understanding and calming that he even makes a root canal seem like nothing. He does amazing work and treats his clients so well by actually listening and going over procedures and options when lots of other dentists are rushed and indifferent at best. The staff there are so nice and accommodating. I really can’t praise them enough. I will definitely be using them for all my future cleanings, fillings etc.
Negative experience: The worst staff I could ever work wit. They pulled my tooth and didn't even remember the doctor that did it and when I asked for a copy of my charts they said it wasn't possible because of the changing of systems. As health care professionals you should be ashamed!
Fantastic experience: I really like they are all so friendly and kind I was a nervous wreck hadn't been in years they was great! Patrick the hygienist great cant say enough good about everyone so helpful
Fantastic experience: Nice and professional staff. Fully explained what was going on. The atmosphere (music) was awesome!

Fantastic experience: Everyone greated us friendly. Had my teeth cleaned and she was nice and told me what she was goiing to do. She was good.
Fantastic experience: What a great find! The front office staff - Ricky and Shawn - have been warm and helpful from the first phone call and this continued during my first appointment today. Patrick, the hygienist, was kind, friendly, and very knowledgeable with excellent chair-side manner. Dr. Cunningham was helpful in isolating several issues and provided a plan to move forward. Coming here was a pleasure!
Fantastic experience: The staff is super friendly and professional. Proactive in my oral care.
Fantastic experience: At 57 years old I've seen a lot of dentists. Dr Cunningham and his staff are really a step above the rest their attention to detail it's amazing, he's always thinking one step ahead for you and it makes you feel very comfortable. I had only one complaint oh my goodness, please change that radio station.
Fantastic experience: Great Customer Service. Would Highly Recommend. Dr. Cunningham and His Staff To Everyone!!
Fantastic experience: I absolutely love the dental hygienist he will have you laughing the whole time you're in the seat getting your teeth cleaned I really enjoy his energy. They just have the heat up in there way too hot. But we survived an hour in the seat having my teeth clean beads of sweat running down my head but life the whole time. Other than that I've always enjoyed coming to Dr Cunningham's office but 100% to the dental hygienist he was awesome
Fantastic experience: I can say Cunninham Dentist is a notch above the rest his staff is wonderful, friendly, genuinely caring, kind, sweet, and very professional. They love their jobs but love their patients just as much. I am terrified of dentist’s due to a bad past experience. Nara was so sweet and calmed my anxiety, my experience was like no other. I highly recommend their services as I was also referred by a friend.

Fantastic experience: Everybody that works there has been so nice and friendly.
Fantastic experience: Excellent experience. Very good care. Good staff.
Fantastic experience: I've had several visits here with Mr. Cunningham. He is hands down, no comparison the very best dentist i have ever been to. I had 2 root canals in one visit and felt nothing then or after! He has taken the fear out of going to the dentist for me, plus he's just a cool, laid back guy who seems to actually enjoy what hes doing. My only regret is not having him as my dentist sooner. I'd highly recommend Cunningham dental to anyone, especially those with fear of the dentist!
Fantastic experience: I am very pleased with Cunningham Dental in Erwin, TN
Fantastic experience: I was greeted as soon as walk in by very friendly staff. I did not have to wait. The nurse who took care of me was extra nice and helpful. The Doctor was great. He took care of my problem and made me feel very important.
Fantastic experience: Short wait, office and treatment/ procedure very efficient Nice staff!
Fantastic experience: Everyone has taken such good care of me at Cunningham Dental. The staff made me so relaxed when I am there. I used to be terrified to go to the dentist but now I’m not. Thank you everyone for all you’ve done for me.
Fantastic experience: I loved my experience here. I haven’t gone to the dentist in a long time and I was super anxious to go for the first time in 5+years. My hygienist, Patrick, was amazing!! I haven’t had that little pain/anxiety at the dentist ever in my life. Everything that was done was explained to me thoroughly ahead of time and all of my questions were answered. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Very professional and friendly. I'm not one who enjoys going to see a Dentist but these folks make it easy
Fantastic experience: On my first dental visit I had my teeth cleaned by a very knowledgeable Heather, who was a great conversationalist! Dr Cunningham was friendly, precise and personable. I really like the lady in the office! Was a great appointment!
Fantastic experience: This location is just as convenient for me as going into Asheville especially figuring in the traffic situation. Heather was my hygienist and was very thorough and nice. Marie at front desk as well. I'm pleased with my switch to this practice.
Fantastic experience: Best dental experience I've ever had. Very professional and delightful
Fantastic experience: I am so happy with my dental visit today! Hands down, this was the best dental visit I’ve ever had! A huge part of this was because my hygienist Lizzy V. was so kind and comforting to me. Like a lot of people, I’m afraid of dental visits. But she kept me calm, eased my fears, and even let me hold her hand when I really needed one to hold! She truly went above and beyond taking excellent care of me! Thank you for making my experience Lizzy! And Dr. Cunningham himself also did an excellent job! As he assured me, there was no pain. He walked me through everything with kindness and compassion! The ladies at the front desk were also very kind and helpful. Thank you to everyone involved! I highly recommend Cunningham Dental!
Fantastic experience: Great work. Kind people. My teeth look great
Fantastic experience: So far they were very nice and gentle. They explained things before hand. I have no complaints at this time i recommend.
Fantastic experience: I went to have two crowns and when the dentist now saved one with a filling, so ended up with a root canal and temp crown placed and a filling. So not only did they save one of my teeth, they saved me a pocket load also. Friendly, kind, and patient centered. Not only all of the above but there was a very autistic young man in there and I was so impressed with the patient and care they provided him to feel comfortable. AMAZING!!
Fantastic experience: Walked in and they had music playing through the office that was fun. Patrick, my hygienist was super cool and friendly. I also met Liz and she was also really fun. Dr. Cunningham was very nice and informative. The atmosphere there is perfect for anyone nervous about the dentist. 10/10 experience. Glad I picked this office! :)
Fantastic experience: I really like the Dentist I saw & the Lady that done impression. I hated to hear the Dentist was going to Morristown. He was awesome & really done a professional job. I hope he comes back.All the ladies were very sweet .
Fantastic experience: Everyone was very friendly and attentive. Great service as a new patient. The dental hygienist took my X-rays and cleaned my teeth in the most professional way.
Fantastic experience: These are wonderful people and they took wonderful care of me. I would recommend this group to everyone I know. I have yet to have a negative interaction with them whether in person or on the phone.
Fantastic experience: I was very pleased with the atmosphere of kindness and professionalism from the moment I walked up to the reception windows all the way to the chair. Modern technology with the knowledge of how to use it. I'm very satisfied with the service I received.
Fantastic experience: First , I got in faster than a “ Karen can complain “ , and that’s not even being a current patient.. Oh but I am now ! … Second , Dr Cunningham saved my tooth ( I was planning on a pull and leaving with a hole in my gum ) … Third , I left there knowing they all care . Fourth , I want my teeth to be seen when I smile , He has great options and I know the exact direction I’ll be going ! All I can say is Dr. Cunningham and Staff ROCK !
Fantastic experience: ⁰ Dr Cunningham and his staff always go above and beyond to make me feel welcome and I always get nervous going to places and I always feel at home there and they're really good people and I recommend them to anyon
Fantastic experience: Heather made me feel so comfortable when I was nervous about my appointment. Dr Cunningham was great and helped explain things to me when I had concerns with insurance. Overall a great place!
Fantastic experience: It was an awesome appointment,they were just great
Fantastic experience: After three months and two separate dentists, my husband was finally able to get his abscessed tooth pulled within about 10 minutes, and at a reasonable cost. This was our first visit, but I am so impressed with Dr. Cunningham's and Nara's professionalism and skill. Even though we live about an hour away, we highly recommend this office and will be back.
Positive experience: I waited 45 minutes in waiting room. Guess they were running behind. Liszt made sure I was comfortable before dentist cam in. They were both very kind & caring. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic doctor and staff. Very caring, good communication, and willing to find solutions to difficult issues. Most recently the entire staff went above and beyond to work me in at the last minute when I was having dental difficulties with pain and getting ready to leave town. I can't say enough good things about everyone from the administrative staff, the techs, and Dr. Cunningham. Dr. Cunningham was patient and kind and worked with me until resolution of pain was found. I am so thankful for this practice.
Negative experience: I had an appointment booked for 6 months. They text me to confirm the date and time a month ahead, which I did. Two days before I received a text reminding me about my appointment. We'll, the day before I get a call from Cunningham Dental saying they have to move my appointment up two and a half hours. I told them I couldn't accommodate their request since I scheduled my appointment around my work schedule. They said that if i couldn't come in earlier they would have to reschedule. This is a profound lack of respect for a client and I explained I would be taking my business elsewhere
Fantastic experience: I am a retired nurse so very picky about office protocol. I find this office very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. I will return to them for all my dental care. 5 stars do not seem enough bc I'd give them 10 stars.
Fantastic experience: What a breath of fresh air! The staff at the front desk were friendly and helpful! Patrick my hygienist was incredible. I had the most comfortable cleaning and exam I’ve had in years and Dr Cunningham was very nice and knowledgeable! I’m so happy that I am now a patient here!
Fantastic experience: The office staff was very friendly and helpful. Dr. Cunningham took his time explaining the treatment plan to me and made me we feel welcomed.
Fantastic experience: Dr Cunningham & his team are wonderful, I’ve been twice for extraction & dental work, both times he was very professional & makes sure you r numb before he works on your mouth. Very pleased & he does it in a timely manner, not having to wait forever to get things done Plus Heather is awesome
Fantastic experience: Honestly the best dentist I have been to, Heather and Dr. Cunningham did such a great job. I had not been to the dentist in 3+ years but I am actually looking forward to my next 6 month cleaning here.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful, Friendly, Helpful Staff Doc is Cool, Gentle Touch, Let's You Know What Is Happening.
Fantastic experience: The staff was very professional, a happy workplace. Very nice people!!
Fantastic experience: They always go above and beyond whether it's routine, emergency, or corrective procedures! If you're looking for a dentist give Dr Cunningham a chance, I did and couldn't be more happy!
Fantastic experience: The staff are very caring. They explain the procedure, listen to my concerns and answer questions. I’m greeted with a smile when checking in. I highly recommend this dental office.
Fantastic experience: This was the best visit I've ever had at a dentist office. Thank you. You are all friendly, respectful and caring. God bless you all.
Fantastic experience: So I have teeth pain and I phone usual dentist in Johnson City, they tell me they can see me in September, and it’s March now I phone Cunningham Dentist and because I was in pain, they said come tomorrow and they could help Tomorrow has come and gone, and I am pain free thanks to minus a tooth My wife who was also having teeth problems was seen as well The practice is well run, they put my fears at bay, and I would travel far to come back to this wonderful dental office in Erwin Tn
Fantastic experience: They are very friendly and willing to listen to what you have to say becouse what you are going through can and will effect your teeth.
Fantastic experience: When I called about a painful tooth I was promptly given a next day appointment. Everyone there was very pleasant and professional including Dr. Cunningham who was very gentle. This will be my new dental team!
Fantastic experience: They got me in within less then 3 hrs. And took care of my problem with great relief to me. Would highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: I had a routine cleaning done this afternoon. I arrived late, yet wasn't scolded. I was ushered right into the dentist chair. The guy that did my cleaning was personable and professional. I had some overdue X-rays done and was counseled about my teeth and dentition in general. So, all in all, it went as well as expected. 11/11/2024 I arrived late again, traffic was bonkers and I caught every red light coming out of Elizabethton. I stopped and called the office to inform them I would be late. There wasn't a problem. I saw Dr. Cunningham and his number 2. Impressions were taken and we were onto the prep work for my crowns. More impressions were taken with the old goo. I had a filling done then and it was time for the extraction. Dr. Cunningham did the drilling, filing down, the cavity, and then finally the extraction. I was there a while, but comfortable and even a little sleepy. This office runs like a well-oiled machine, from what a patient like myself could observe. I was set up for another appointment in December and away I went to Walgreens, which by the way is just across the street. What more could a person ask for??12/4/24 I was all set to receive my permanent crowns, BUT, I had another problem tooth to be attended to. It was involved with the permanent crown I was to receive. SO, the permanent crowns installation was postponed for a couple of weeks. It wasn't as bad as I had thought, however I was given a scrip for antibiotics--just in case it should get worse. Dr. Cunningham didn't have time to do the root canal on the newest fiasco with my teeth. However, I was scheduled for the next appointment at which time the doctor could perform the root canal, after which my permanent crowns can be safely installed. I had no dental problems to speak of until my mid 50's, so all this dental work is not something that I am accustomed to. Dr. Cunningham and his staff have treated me very well. I would recommend Cunningham Dental to anyone looking for first class dental care!!12/18/2024 Sooo....my dental saga continues unabated...the tooth in question had been treated with antibiotics and I suppose was no longer abscessed. Anyway, the good doctor and his assistant tried to exchange the temp for the permanent to no avail. The tooth required a post to be installed for stability. Thoroughness is my belief, however, I am growing steadily more depressed, not at the treatment, but the antibiotic side effects which are not pleasant. So, everything went pretty much as planned I guess. My temps came unglued and I return this morning to have them reattached. My father had problems with his teeth right up until the day he died. I hope it's not hereditary. More on the ongoing dental saga to follow...12/19/2024 So my temp crowns were reattached, quick and relatively painless. Next appointment is scheduled for 01/15/2025 Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everybody!!!02/05/2025 So February begins with my teeth getting filed down to pegs for a future bridge. My temps are in and holding, I am looking forward to having my top Molars, Pre Molars and Eyetooth back in my head. I have had a "Jack-o-Lantern" smile for a minute(more actually) due to insurance limitations. Without my insurance, I don't know where I'd be. Miserable and toothless, I suppose. Anyway, hope springs eternal, I am looking forward to having a confident smile once again. I had the A-team working on me today, Dr. Cunningham and his #1 assistant Amy gave me me top notch care as always. My mouth is a bit sore, I am laying the Goody Powders to my hide. I am sure all will be well in a day or so. More to come........stay tuned!!02/27/2025 I finally got my permanent teeth. I am really stoked, it's been a long time coming. My visit went very well, I got me some teeth!!!

Fantastic experience: Hadn't been to dentist since 1988. Was treated like I had been coming there for years!
Fantastic experience: Was greeted by a very welcoming handshake from Heather. I felt comfortable with her at once. She made sure I was at ease throughout the cleaning. She was very polite and considerate. She was concerned about my high blood pressure, and I told her I would monitor it once I got home. Just to let her know, I took several readings and all were around 140/85. Thank you Heather for caring.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Cunningham and his staff are wonderful. They make sure you are comfortable and at easy. I highly recommend them.
Negative experience: People were very nice, but they refused to do a regular cleaning on my teeth. Insisted that only a deep cleaning could be done, which is money out of my pocket. I have had my teeth cleaned every six months at a different dentist. This is the first time I have been refused my regular cleaning. I don't think my teeth would fall out if I had a regular cleaning. Money, money, money!
Fantastic experience: The dental hygienist was very welcoming and gave me recommendations to help my teeth thrive! I always appreciate the kindness and service I receive from cunningham dental
Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this Dentist & all staff. All are so kind & always willing to help doing wat ever they can to make it a comfortable & nice experience.

Fantastic experience: Everyone at Cunningham dental has always been great to me! I go there regularly for my cleanings. Today I had a dental emergency and they didn’t hesitate to work me in and fix the problem. They went above and beyond my expectations. Lindsey is the sweetest! She made sure my nerves were calm the entire appointment and even had me laughing in such a bad situation. She deserves a raise for that alone because major dental work freaks me out.
Fantastic experience: This was my first time visiting here and when I pulled into the parking lot my anxiety was fairly high. But that was put to ease very quickly when I walked in. Everyone from the front office to the dental hygienist to the doctor were super nice, understanding, and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend.
