Elite Dental Care TN

For almost 30 years I tried to find a dentist I could be comfortable with.  I struggled with finding a dentist that could properly numb me before a dental procedure.  Turns out, in 1987 I had oral surgery from a birth defect.  The surgery caused nerves in my face to move.  Only Dr. Lenihan understood this, and was able to properly treat me without any pain.  I didn't even know this was the problem! I spent 30 years fearful of the dentist, and the pain associated with dental work!

I was referred to Dr. Lenihan by my husband, (Retired military man who holds professionals to near impossible standards) who promised me I would not be disappointed.  Promise kept.  Not only did Dr. Lenihan meet my patient needs, his staff are amazing!  Deanna is always pro-active when handling our billing, and insurance, and Mandy does the best teeth cleaning and hygienic work ever!  The team at Elite Dental Care TN keep the environment clean, organized, professional, confidential, courteous, and friendly.  Our dental visits feel more like visiting old friends.  Keep up the good work!

Dr. Lenihan has been my dentist for twenty years. He and all his staff are very professional and friendly. The office is run very efficiently and you always know what you owe and why. If you have a dental emergency, they always find an appointment for you.

Dr Lenihan and his great staff have been taking care of our dental needs for many years (we are almost in our 80s now). This has included everything from semiannual cleanings and checkups to fillings, dentures and implants. They have always been professional, understanding and really great! My wife and I highly recommend them.

Just completed a rework of my bite great job. Staff was excellent Tabitha was a real pro. If you need help with the old bite this is the place

I highly recommend Elite Dental Care! My husband and I have been going to Dr. Lenihan for years, and I now take my children and my extended family has joined the practice as well. Most recently, I was having scheduling difficulties with my children's activities, and I called to see if I could be put on the cancellation list for another appointment. The staff called not once but several times and even called into the next week, and I had only been asked to be put on the list for one week. On another occasion, I broke a crown over the holiday weekend, and I called the emergency line and Dr. Lenihan himself called me at 9:00p.m. to help resolve the issue. Lastly, my daughter does not enjoy going to the dentist, as not many children do, and when we left this last time her comment to me was "that lady was really nice." Thank you for your outstanding service and commitment to our family.

The only team I trust to clean and take care of my teeth!! Everyone is very professional and even more friendly. I have been coming to see Dr. Lenihan since I was a kid. He has always made me feel comfortable. I love that everyone there is like a family member, Deanna and Dr. Lenihan have given me sound advice and I love that I can crack jokes with them! They always explain what is going on, how to fix it and what steps to take at home to make everything go smoothly! I couldn't have landed in better hands if I would have picked them myself. I recommend everyone I know who is looking for a dentist to go talk to Dr. Lenihan.

Caring, responsive & responsible doc. I feel I’m in wonderful hands.

I was treated well during my visit. (And all visits) The staff is a group of people who are caring, friendly & professional. Always ready to take the time to answer (sometimes over & over) any questions or concerns I have. I never feel rushed or that I’m wasting anyone’s time. I know that the day can get hectic but I never see that with the staff. Everyone goes above & beyond & strives to do the perfect job. I like the drawings that you have & and the fact that you contribute to the community with the food drives. Also the candy sent to the servicemen & women . I know they enjoy being remembered. I like the shamrocks too. So all in all it’s a great office with a great staff.

By far the best dental team in East Tennessee. They are professional yet friendly and fun loving. I have never had to wait more than just a minute or two after signing in, so they operate the office in a timely manner. The best part is that Dr. Lenihan has never HURT me while performing numerous dental procedures on me. Yea!!!! Of course Dee keeps his office running smoothly and never seems too busy to listen and talk with the patients for a few minutes. I just love MY dentist and his staff.

Doc and his staff always make me feel comfortable while having dental work. That’s saying a lot for someone who was terrified of letting anyone near my mouth until I found Dr. Lenihan. Thanks, Doc! And thanks for having such a great staff.

I first came to Dr. Lenihan at least 20 years ago being well into adulthood. Prior to that time my dental visits were infrequent due to a dental experience as a teenager which was quite painful leaving me with an aversion to dentists. This was enhanced by a very negative series of peridontal visits. When Dr. Bill asked, “How are you?” I answered “Scared to death !?” Dr. Bill dealt effectively with my anxiety which quickly disappeared.The subsequent years have been pleasant experiences.
