Excellent! That is so great to know that you had a good experience! We are looking forward to serving you again. :). Thank you so much for your nice comments!
Fantastic experience: We made our appointment with Frank after discussing what I needed and discussed the pricing. We drove round trip 250 miles only to be told the price went from $13,950.00 to $ 39,950.00. Having said the above all the staff were very friendly and professional
We are so thankful for the opportunity to meet you and discuss your treatment options. 250 miles is a long trip, and we appreciate you so much for spending the time and effort to visit with us.
Thank you for your nice review. :)

Excellent! We are glad you had a positive experience! Thank you so much for leaving a positive review! We really appreciate it. :)
Fantastic experience: Dr. Malone did a great job on repairing my chipped/cracked tooth with a white composite filling. Very Professional & Thank You so much, M...
Thank you so much for trusting us with your care! Dr Malone will be so happy to hear you had a great experience!
Negative experience: I am halfway through the process of dental implants and left the office today scared for the first time. I was promised they would work with me through the whole process to ensure I would be included in the process of making sure my implants looked as natural to my real teeth as possible including color. My second set is grey in appearance and bottom looks nothing like what was approved. Very “fake” in appearance compared to original plan. Very disappointed and they were unwilling to re-do bottom because it was not permanent set. This varies greatly from my original consultation and assurance that I would be included in every decision about the “look” . This is a big, big financial decision and once they have your money I am afraid their attitudes and treatment does a 360. Shocking. At this point I feel helpless and completely not included in the process anymore. I knew something was out of line today when I was not even shown the implants beforehand and the dental assistant’s first words when I got the mirror was about the color difference. My heart went to my feet when I opened and smiled. My bottom implants are all over the place and uneven. I compared to look of my last they just took out and they were nothing alike in appearance. I am still shocked at the unwillingness to re-do bottom at a $44,000 price tag. There should have been no hesitation if I was not satisfied. I am taking away the feeling that because it was only going to be a 6 week turnover that I should not be worrying and make due. This is 6 weeks of Holiday time where you want to smile freely without people noticing and biting my lip constantly. Please take your time and really get those answers and assurances before spending your money. I wish I had got more assurances on paper.
Hi there! As a rule, we allow patients to make any cosmetic changes they want prior to finalization. So we are hoping this was just a communication error. Dr Costa will talk with the assistants and lab folks to make sure you are happy before the holidays. We will be in touch with you today to remedy the situation. Don’t despair - we are here for you and will make it right!
Fantastic experience: I have never met a better dental team ... from the staff to Dr. Malone, they set the bar for what that experience should be. I can't put into words how good they have been not only to me, but also how they care for my son. The front office staff are warm and welcoming; the hygienists and dentists are exceptional in their care for patients. I never want to go anywhere else!
Thank you kindly for your very special message! Rebekah is so awesome, we agree! It is our honor and our pleasure to serve you and your family. Thank you for trusting us with your care!!! :)
Fantastic experience: Dr Malone & entire staff were extremely accommodating and looking forward to being their patient. My family , the Calkins, says you’re the BEST!
Oh! That’s so kind of you and your family to say such nice things!! It makes Dr Malone so happy to hear he has made a difference in your lives. :) Thank you for sharing your positive message!
Fantastic experience: Just moved to East TN from North VA where we had already experienced EMS GBT Airflow for our cleanings, as such had already narrowed our desired dental team to Knoxville Smiles. However we had not begun that transition to a new dentist. As Murphy would have it I had a dental emergency. K'ville Smiles was able to get me the VERY next day - would have been same day except I was on the way back from vacation. Team was the most caring and diligent I have ever dealt with - look no further. And if you don't understand why we insist on EMS GBT Airflow from our new dental provider - search it, once you experience it you will never let a hygienist put a pick axe in your mouth again!
It was so great to meet you! We think GBT is great too, and are so glad to be able to provide that service to discerning clients like you. Thank you so much for your kind review and for choosing us as your new provider!
Fantastic experience: Very informative very comfortable feeling talk to doctor staff I would recommend him to friends family great place knowledgeable can’t wait till I start my dental work .
We are looking forward to serving you! It was nice to meet you and we appreciate your very nice review!

Because regular denture didn't hold and the adhesives made me sick so I was with out teeth since 2018 and im so glad I invested on doing the dental implants.This is a friendly practice and caring people . I will recommend to anyone looking for implants to this place. Thank you.
We are happy to be of service and even happier to know we have helped to make such a difference in your life! :)
Fantastic experience: The friendliness and professionalism of the staff coupled with a comfortable working environment make this a wonderful dental experience. Dr Malone is top notch in his field. He stays on top of technology as does his team and he’s an honest, amazing human being. No wonder he’s built such a wonderful practice. I wouldn’t consider anywhere else for my dental needs. ♥️
Oh thank you, friend, for your lovely words and for your support. It’s always a pleasure to see you and an honor to serve you! We can’t wait to see you again!!!

Oh my goodness! What a wonderful message. Thank you for sharing it. We appreciate you and are thankful for you!
Fantastic experience: I had a complicated and difficult procedure done here, and it was done as best as any man could expect. Recommend them 100%
Thank you for your vote of confidence! We appreciate your business and we appreciate that you took the time to share your experience. :)
Fantastic experience: The staff was excellent, Dr was very informative and professional. So glad we have people like these in the world.
Aw. What a nice thing to say! We are so thankful to have wonderful clients like you, too!
Fantastic experience: My first visit with the hygienist and Dr Malone went smoothly. The new cleaning technique was painless. I will be doing some more extensive follow up procedures that have me excited to finally get answers. —Back for my third appt and it was just as great. I was impressed with how easily xrays were done with a handheld machine, videos of animals playing, soothing water teeth cleaning. In and out in 50 minutes. A joy!
Excellent news!! We try hard to make “going to the dentist” something to look forward to rather than something to dread. Thanks for sharing your happy experience!
Fantastic experience: This place basically cured my fear of the dentist. I couldn’t sleep because of tooth pain the last two nights. Ended up getting an emergency tooth pull and the crew was fully transparent with everything that was going on. I learned a ton of interesting things, and I was in and out of there within a hour and left with no pain. Thankful I found my new dentist.
We are so sorry that you had a toothache. We know how exquisitely painful a toothache can be, and we are so glad we could help you get out of pain. Thank you for your very kind message. We hope that you are feeling a lot better! :)
Fantastic experience: i had to make a last minute appointment for a broken tooth, which i didn’t realize would turn into a dental surgery/extraction and implant. every person on the staff who was part of my experience was excellent. dr. costa took the time to explain things to me before my surgery, he was patient and kind and talked me through the parts i was nervous about, answered all my questions and was so positive. his assistant, whose name i can’t remember (i’m sorry!) was the sweetest as well. she told me each step she was about to take before she did it, gave me encouragement throughout the parts of my surgery i was awake for (right before sedation, and coming off of it after), answered any questions i had and was super friendly and kind. they both made a huge impact on my experience and made me feel very well taken care of, not just another person in their chair. i am very, very glad i picked knoxville smiles.
We are very, very glad to have the opportunity to help you! Thank you for your kind words. We will make sure that your team of dental helpers receives this message. It will mean a lot to them. We are looking forward to seeing you again!
Fantastic experience: I received excellent treatment by Dr. Walkow and his wonderful assistant & hygienist, Jessica, on my recent visit. I understood and agreed with Dr. Malone's recommendations. This practice is very up to date on dental technology. The office staff is very helpful and friendly.
We really appreciate your positive feedback! Jessica, Dr Wolkow and Dr Malone are so pleased that you felt well taken care of. Thank you for your nice review! :)
Fantastic experience: Very happy with the doctors and staff. They’re very knowledgeable and explain things thoroughly. I highly recommend.
Thanks for your vote of confidence! We appreciate you!
Fantastic experience: Lacy is my favorite hygienist! Stellar care and service! Highly recommend her
Lacy is amazing! We agree! We will make sure she sees your kind note and we thank you for your review! :)
Fantastic experience: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had an amazing consultation with Dr. Malone at Knoxville Smiles. He was thorough, patient, and genuinely cared about my concerns. The staff made the whole visit easy and stress-free, and I left with a clear plan and full confidence in my next steps. Couldn’t ask for a better experience!
Dr Malone is a great listener….and he loves to help! So glad you had a great experience. We hope to serve you again soon!
Fantastic experience: Awesome dentist and team! It's a pleasure to go in anytime!
Our dentists and team thank you for your support and kind words. :) Looking forward to seeing you again!
Fantastic experience: I switched to this practice due to an unfortunate experience at another dentist. They handled my situation with care, took the time to truly understand where my head was at in order to treat me. Smiles at Malone & Costa Dentistry was highly recommended by great friends. I now highly recommend them as well.
We are so glad that you found us and we are happy we could help you! Thank you for your nice comments! Hope to see you again soon!!!
Fantastic experience: Honestly the best dentist I have been to. Wonderful Staff. Very helpful, kind, and made me feel very comfortable. 10/10 would recommend.
It’s easy to be nice to nice people! :) Thanks for your kind words and positive review!
Fantastic experience: Went for a consultation and they were very thorough in explaining everything. I have had 4 other consults and liked what I heard here best but they were my highest quote yet. Still trying to make a decision.
Thanks for your input! It would be our pleasure to serve you and help you achieve your dental goals. Hoping to hear back from you soon!
Fantastic experience: My experience at Knoxville Smiles is nothing short of amazing. The entire dental staff are warm, kind and very welcoming. I use to dread my dentist appointments, but for years now since I arrived in Knoxville, TN, I look forward to going to the dentist. I appreciate all the care they take to make sure I have a great experience. They are all fantastic.
We look forward to seeing you, too!! And we think you are fantastic as well! :) Thank you for your kind words. We really appreciate it!
Fantastic experience: I got in quickly. Staff professional. Dr Malone did an excellent job repairing my broken tooth. He talked me through what he was going to do & exceeded my expectations. I immediately transferred my dental records from a practice where I’d been for 25 years.
We are so happy to have you as a permanent member of our dental family!! :) Thank you for your support and your trust!
Negative experience: I will give them two Stars for keeping the appointment on time. I’m not sure how the space gets five stars. The doctor and staff, they seem polite and knowledgeable, but I went in with a toothache and an infected root. Most of my 30 minute appointment was the doctor trying to upsell me on a treatment plan. I walked out of there with a tree complaint for $45,000. I am retired and on a fixed income, and I made them aware of that. The doctors may be good, but it is obvious to me that the best interest is not in the patient, but they are more focused on the Almighty Dollar That’s an expensive toothache to repair, And to make matters worse, I was in severe pain didn’t sleep all night, and the doctor would not give me anything for pain.
Hi there! We are sorry we didn’t meet your expectations.
Our doctors often do single tooth dentistry as needed, and they are especially interested in helping people get out of pain by removing the source of the problem. However, they feel strongly that it is their responsibility to educate patients about their own dental health circumstances. The doctors present comprehensive treatment plans so patients understand the ramifications of choosing single tooth dentistry on an emergency basis versus making decisions based on a comprehensive plan for long-term health. Our doctor was under the impression that you wanted to know what the comprehensive plan would be. It was not his intent to make you feel uncomfortable by presenting a comprehensive option to you, and apologizes if you were offended.
Again, we are sorry that we did not perform as you expected and apologize for any inconvenience or frustration . We hope that you are able to find a provider who can help you, and that you are out of pain soon!
Fantastic experience: Great experience, very comprehensive and the cleanest my teeth have ever felt!
Awesome! We have a great team and they are so happy to have given you a great experience!! :)
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend! So friendly and took there time cleaning my teeth and asking if I had any questions or concerns!
We are so glad you had a great experience! We hope to serve you again! :)
Fantastic experience: Dr Costa was so kind and caring with my mother. Comforting her every step of the way. You couldn’t find a more caring group of professionals.
He was so glad to have been of service to your wonderful mother! Thank you for trusting us with her care!!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Malone is the only dentist I will ever go to again. He does everything he can to make your visit easy and stress free. He also has the best staff of anyone in Knoxville. His entire staff is the best in town.
Thank you for your kind review! We are so happy to serve you and are looking forward to our continued relationship!
Fantastic experience: Best dentist in town. Perfect service. Everyone in office is great whether with treatment or just great attitude. Highly recommend if you want perfect service and results. Been going there since he took over practice.
Well thank you very much! That totally made us smile!!!!!!! :)
Fantastic experience: Izabella, at Smiles at Malone & Costa dentistry, deserves the highest rating: she is a top notch Dental Hygienist. Her hand is feather light, her knowledge, her attention to details, and her bed-side manners are superior. Again, I do recommend her without any reservations. Smiles at Malone & Costa offers leading-edge robotic technology, my dental implants and other dental work done here since 2012 were all positive experiences. I thank all personnel at Smiles at Malone & Costa for all the years of service and caring.
Izabela is incredible!! Thank you for sharing your message. It means so much to her!!’
Fantastic experience: I’ve been a patient for many years and I am so impressed by this practice. From the cleanliness of the office, to the kindness of the staff, to the skillset(s) of the providers, everything is top notch! The ladies working the office are always so sweet and I genuinely enjoy my cleanings with Izabela! I have enjoyed working with Dr. Wolkow on improving my smile with Invisalign. He has been careful to listen to my cosmetic concerns, while also prioritizing the health of my teeth and gums! It’s clear he enjoys his profession!
Your confidence in our care is such an amazing thing to read. Thank you for your support and your business. It is absolutely our pleasure to serve you! :)
Fantastic experience: I have been coming to Dr Malones for over 20 years now & I could not be in better hands Everyone is so kind , friendly & professional They care about you as an individual person & they are like family to my whole family I use to be so nervous about going to the dentist but they eased that feeling completely away I actually love going to the dentist ❤️

Fantastic experience: I had my first visit at Knoxville Smiles and the experience was incredible! From the moment I walked in, the front desk made me feel welcome and at ease. My dental hygienist, Rebekah, was fantastic. She explained everything clearly and made the cleaning process super comfortable. I also met Dr. Costa and Dr. Malone, who both took the time to listen to my concerns and answer my questions. Their professionalism and friendly approach really stood out and gave me confidence that my dental care is in great hands. Overall, the entire team went above and beyond. I can honestly say this was the best dental experience I’ve ever had. I’m actually looking forward to my next visit which is something I never thought I’d say about going to the dentist! Highly recommend Knoxville Smiles to anyone looking for top notch dental care
Oh what a wonderful thing to hear! Thank you for sharing that. It is our pleasure to be of service, and we are happy to know that we made a difference in your life!
Fantastic experience: Best place ever! I have spent many years and money on my smile. They were able to give me a movie star smile!!! Very easy and no pain. I love going to the dentist now. Everyone is so nice and professional, plus they make you feel like a friend or family. Really can’t say enough good things about them. Love them all❤️
You ARE our friend and part of our dental family. We love seeing your beautiful smile when you walk through the door!!!! Thanks for your lovely review! So nice!
Fantastic experience: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “I had two wisdom teeth pulled by Dr. Michael Costa at Knoxville Smiles, and the experience was excellent. I was in and out much quicker compared to a previous dental procedure elsewhere. Dr. Costa made the process smooth and comfortable, and the support staff was fantastic—professional, kind, and attentive. Highly recommend Knoxville Smiles for anyone looking for quality dental care.”
We understand it can be stressful to go through a procedure like that, and we always strive to make it as simple and comfortable as possible. It’s great news to hear you felt well cared for!
Fantastic experience: I initially went to Knoxville Smiles because of I broke my tooth and it was causing pain. They open at 7:30 which is very convenient. The staff is very friendly and the dentists are wonderful. They explained the treatment plan and procedure thoroughly. I recently had the molar extracted and went through the first step in receiving my new implant. Absolutely the best experience I have ever had at a dentist office in my life. I would very highly recommend them. Oh, and they are also very knowledgeable about Temporomandibular Joint Disorder.
Hi there! We are glad to hear that you had the best experience ever! That is awesome to hear! We look forward to serving you again!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Malone is just an AMAZING dentist and friend! Also, the staff is the same! I can’t say enough about Knoxville Smiles! Who can say they LOVE going to the dentist??? ME!!!
Oh friend!! That is such an amazing thing to hear! We are SO happy to know you and be of service to you. Thank you for sharing your joy with us and with our community!
Fantastic experience: I DETEST going to the dentist! Years of horrible experiences when l was a young girl, truly traumatized me, so consequently l delay and postpone, until things are way worse than they should be. A couple of times l found dental offices that do sedation dentistry, but either we would move, or the dentist would quit providing that service..so again, l'd look at that as a good opportunity just to forget about the whole thing. Stupid, l know, but honest, nonetheless. Things had gotten bad enough that l knew l really had to get serious and find someone l trusted, that would TRY to take the insurance we have (which in and of itself is another pain!) But, after searching l found Knoxville Smiles, and Dr. Costa. My first encounter with the office was with the receptionist, Wendy, via a phone call, and she was so sweet, and so understanding, never once making me feel like l was ridiculous for feeling like l do, and delaying things as long as I had. I made the appointment, and went in to the office, with nerves high! Wendy met me, was so comforting and kind, and promised to check on me during my appointment..which she absolutely did! Then l was passed over to Lauren, one of the hygienists who works with Dr. Costa. She got some Xrays on me, (which is another task as l have ridiculous gag reflexes!) She too, was kind and understanding, and never made me feel anything but safe. And finally, Dr. Costa. He too was just wonderful to work with. Never made me feel bad about my lack of dental care, and just wanted to find a way to make me as comfortable as l can be, given my extreme fear of dental work.. and that brings me to today. I am three visits into my plan. First visit filled cavities, and a deep clean. Second visit was two teeth extracted, bone grafts placed, and the today for stitch removal and a check to make sure everything is good to proceed. By mid December one side of my mouth will be fixed, and then after the first of the year, we'll work on the other side, with the same treatment for that. I WANT to have good dental hygiene, l WANT to not break out in a sweat when l think about needing things done, and honestly, l feel like Knoxville Smiles, and ALL the people who work there is the dental clinic that can make this happen for me. I will not be a patient who can have dental work done without sedation, but l am the person who can say with 100% confidence that THESE are the people who will take care of me! If you're a person like l am, who would rather do ANY medical procedure than dental work, then l STRONGLY urge you to call these people! Talk to Wendy, let her eliminate your fears, then let the rest of the team work their magic. You won't be sorry..PROMISE!!
Wow! What an amazing thing to read. It’s very humbling to know that we helped to make a difference in your life! Thank you for your positive feedback. We appreciate you and your business!
Fantastic experience: I posted the below review a few years ago and still stand by it! We live in South Carolina now and I choose to drive to Knoxville so I don’t lose my dentist, Dr. Costa, or his team. I highly recommend Knoxville Smiles!! “Dr. Costa and his team at Knoxville Smiles are the absolute best!! I highly recommend them for your dental needs! They are professional and caring. I’ve had extensive work done and through each process they held my hand with a smile. Don’t go anywhere else!!”
That means so much to us! Thank you! It has been 100% our honor to be of service to such a wonderful lady!
Fantastic experience: The reception staff was so friendly and my hygienist made me completely at ease. I’m so grateful to have found this practice and would highly recommend them to anyone.
We are grateful for you, too, friend! We are lucky to have the opportunity to serve you!
Fantastic experience: Everyone is fantastic! We have been coming to this office for 6 years and are so glad we found them!
We are really glad you found us too!! It’s great to have relationships with wonderful people like you. Thank you for the nice comments!
Fantastic experience: This place is the best organized, professional, caring, and thoughtful office that I have been to. From the time I walked in the door through the time I met with Dr Costa I was treated as if I was the only person there even though the office was packed with patients. Thank you to all.
We love treating every patient like a VIP! So glad you felt valued and heard! :)
Fantastic experience: All staff were respectful and helpful. The procedure was not as difficult as I thought it would be. Dr Costa and his staff made sure that I was as comfortable as possible. They explained instructions that I need to follow for several weeks.
Thanks for the five star review!
Fantastic experience: I'm a tough critic. But I have to say- the team here really want to do right by everyone. You'll see why they're so highly rated when you see their standards. They do genuinely want to help and it shows.
Yay!!! Thank you so much. That really means a lot to us. :)
Fantastic experience: As someone with dental phobia, I could not have chosen a better place to start my journey toward better dental health and a new smile. Everyone has been incredibly kind, non judgmental, and honestly, you just get a "comfortable" feeling there. I'm actually looking forward to all the dental work I'm planning on having, and that coming from me, speaks volumes! Update - Two months ago I had implants placed and I can't even begin to tell you how much my life has changed for the better. I have my confidence back and I smile so much more! And I'm still just in my temporaries! I'm so glad I trusted the folks at Knoxville Smiles to get my smile back for me! Update - I've had my finals for a few months now and I'm beyond thrilled with my new smile! If you're considering dental implants I urge you to consider scheduling a consultation at Knoxville Smiles. My only regret is not doing it sooner!
What a lovely thing to say! Now you’ve made US smile! We are looking forward to helping you and keeping you comfortable and happy along the way!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Wolkow is wonderful. He truly listened to my concerns with care and moved forward with them in mind. He eased my worries and has earned me as a lifelong patient.”
Dr Wolkow is an excellent listener, and he will be so happy to hear that he is making a difference in your life! Thank you for sharing!
Fantastic experience: Excellent work excellent Dentists and excellent technicians, I would highly recommend them
Thank you, we appreciate you and your support of our business!
Fantastic experience: Excellent visit as always. I have been going here for 12 years and have always been provided superior dental work. My dental hygienist, Izabela, along with the dentists and staff are extremely good.
We love having you in our practice, sir! Thank you for your business, and for making our day brighter when you come in!
Positive experience: I normally give this practice five stars--and I hope I'll be able to again next time--but, right now, the administrative communication and billing is an issue. And I can't seem to reach a real person by email or text to share my concerns directly. Hoping this will get someone's attention as they really are a great team otherwise!!!
Aw! Now that makes US smile! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Daughter had a minor dental "emergency" on her way to move in for college. We randomly called them as it was on the way to her school...and actually open on a Friday. We left with her problem fixed and an appointment for future work because they were amazing. Everyone, from office ladies to everyone in the back, was phenomenal! Highly recommend them!
Ooooh! It was totally our pleasure to help her! Thank you for your nice review. We are looking forward to seeing her again! :)
Fantastic experience: Just had a crown seated by Dr. Malone. He is "the best "!! He is meticulous in his work, very efficient with his time and is expert at what he does. Staff are knowledgeable and very skilled. State of the art equipment. Highly recommend Dr. Malone. Have been with him for 8 years.
Your trust and loyalty mean a lot to Dr Malone. Thank you for your very kind words. It makes all of us smile!! :)
Fantastic experience: I am so thankful for Dr. Costa and his team. My teeth look great. I feel they care about me and my appearance and health.
Dr Costa and the team truly do care about YOU! All of you, including your beautiful teeth! Thanks for your lovely message. :)
Fantastic experience: My experience with this dental practice has been consistently exceptional. Despite residing nearly an hour away, I willingly make the drive to Malone and Costa because the caliber of care, professionalism, and expertise provided by the staff and doctors far outweighs the distance. A series of events brought me to their doors, and I have not looked back since. Their unwavering commitment to patient-centered service, coupled with their clinical excellence, makes each visit worthwhile.
Oh my goodness! What a beautifully written sentiment. We are humbled and honored to serve you.
Thank you!
Fantastic experience: I recently had a back tooth extracted under conscious sedation by Dr. Costa. It was quick and easy with zero pain during and after the procedure. No one wants to have a tooth pulled, but if you have to, this is a great place to go. Highly recommend Knoxville Smiles.
Well thank you, friend! We are so glad you had a great experience! And we hope you never need another extraction. We will do our best to help you prevent any future problems. :)
Fantastic experience: Dr. Costa really relates to people and there needs. Very willing to go the extra mile for his costumes.
He does love to help! Making a difference in the lives of patients is rewarding and he hopes to help make a difference for you!
Thank you for your positive feedback!
Fantastic experience: I feel like I know a lot more about implants in general and my case specifically. The doctor was very thorough on a plan to make my smile look natural and not like dentures, which is my biggest fear . Since it is a substantial investment , and you want it to look right , you need to feel comfortable that the doctor is listening to your concerns . I think this was addressed thoroughly and he listened to me . Now just working out the logistics of staying overnight , since it would be impossible to do this without an overnight stay . He also gave me suggestions on that aspect . I was very pleased with the consultation and I am comfortable with the idea that this has to take an extended time to get to your final result . Thank you for your time .
Excellent! We work hard to make sure our clients have a great experience and have the education to make a good decision for their own health. We are looking forward to the opportunity to serve you!
Fantastic experience: Had a wonderful consultation with Dr. Costa and staff today. Together we came up with a treatment plan addressing all my dental issues, and I'm looking forward to getting started soon. Very good experience.
We are looking forward to helping you! Thank you so much for your kind words. :)

Fantastic experience: Knoxville smiles is an awesome place to go, it all started with the front desk staff they were all pleasant, very helpful With the signing in process, and when you go into the back to get ready to see the dentist, the other staff were absolutely phenomenal, I saw Dr. Costa he explained the whole procedure to me, was very patient when I was asking questions and told me all about the procedure with the dental implants He was very thorough in giving me all the information that I was meeting to have. Everyone there from the front desk to the doctors to the people that make the implant. Very nice had a very nice smile on their face and very pleasant to be able to Talk to. And then when we were leaving, they were very helpful and said that if I had any other questions that I could feel free to call Help me finding out about the solution to my questions. I will highly highly Knoxville smiles.
We are so happy to hear that! We like to think that service is our specialty, and we are pretty darn good at dental treatment too! :). Thank you for your kind words!
Fantastic experience: First dental experience in 5 years. They were incredibly thorough and kind. The receptionists were sweet and so was all of the dental staff. Thank you!
Glad you had a good visit. Going to a new dentist can be a little stressful, we understand. It’s our pleasure to have made you feel at ease! :)
Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough good things about this office and staff. They are caring and wonderful. My teeth have never been so clean! I’m so pleased with the care I have received.
Well thank you so much for your lovely review. That means so much to us and it was absolutely our pleasure to have the opportunity to serve you! :)
Fantastic experience: Everyone very nice and the dentist explained all my future treatment options. I especially loved the new air and water cleaning tool that is used for the teeth cleaning. Its a lot faster and not uncomfortable like the old school way. I would recommend this office to family and friends.
So glad to hear you had a good visit! The airflow units have been very popular and our hygienists are masterful at using them! :) We hope to serve you again!
Fantastic experience: I really had a nice visit, and with all do respect it’s only me to blame but I had my hopes way way high and st the end when they said 45,350.00 I was so depressed because I would pay it if I had the credit but I’m poor with low credit so I guess I’m just gonna finish out my life ugly and toothless but again they were the very best people in their profession I’d give them a ten star review if I could
Hi there! We really enjoyed meeting you and know how much you would like to improve your smile and your life. We will reach out to you tomorrow to see if we can come up with another option for you. :)
Fantastic experience: Very friendly and efficient! They took extra images to ensure nothing was missed. High tech equipment is a plus.
Thanks for your positive review! We really appreciate you, and your business!
Fantastic experience: When I first walked in I was always trying to hide my smile and now I can smile freely from the work Dr. Costra and his team has done. Impeccable support and professionalism from all involved, from the staff up to the Dentists. They also use Robotic surgery which fastened my recovery time. I couldn’t recommend them more. They will also answer any questions you may have and give you tons of information.
We are so happy to have helped make such a difference in your life! We love to see you smile now, too!! Beautiful!
Thanks for sharing the good news!
Fantastic experience: Well, let me start with from the time I made my appointment until I left my consultation they all went above & beyond to be nice and so helpful, I have a long drive, one hr to get to the dental office, let me say it is well worth the drive! If you havent or been on the fence about a dental office, go give them a try! You won't be disappointed! I promise! Thank you to all the staff at Knoxville Smiles.
What an amazing compliment! Thank you for taking the time to visit us and give us an opportunity to help you!
Fantastic experience: Went in with some left side mouth pain. This was my first visit, was determined I need to have my top two Wisdom teeth extracted and they were able to do it on the spot! Their bedside manner was fantastic!
Thank you for your kind review. We know tooth pain isn’t fun to live with - and we hope you are feeling a lot better!

Fantastic experience: Staff and environment was very nice from the start. Clean and well kept place. The doctor was great and easy to talk to as well. My wife and I will be coming back regularly!
It was a pleasure to meet you! We will be looking forward to seeing you again!
Fantastic experience: Came for a consultation for missing teeth. First Impression everyone I dealt with on the phone was professional and knowledgeable. Hard to find these days. Then arriving at the office it was clean and just had a great all around vibe. Met with Dr Costa and did a preliminary X-ray. Then he spent the time to explain my options and answer any questions I had. You can tell when someone is actually engaged with you or just going through the motions. He was fully engaged and excited about what we talked about. Also very confident as well which put me at ease. Confident not cocky I should emphasize which is also hard to find these days. You can truly tell he loves what he does and helping people feel confident in their own smiles. I have a long journey to go with this process but I am excited to take it with the team at Knoxville smiles. Will be posting more as we go.
Excellent news!!! Dr Costa does love to help people improve their health and smiles, and it’s great to hear that it shows. We are looking forward to serving you in the future!
Fantastic experience: Can’t say enough good things about Dr. Malone … just had crowns replaced for all my uppers (previous ones done by another office/dentist), and for the first time I can smile big with confidence! All the staff here are top notch - Wendy is by far the best patient care coordinator and the first to demonstrate genuine care from the moment I walk in. And, Dr. Wolkow, Lacy, Michiyo and Missy have been nothing but professional, thorough and caring. Highly recommend!!!
Well, that is GREAT news!! We are honored to have made a positive impact on your life. We will be sure to share your sentiments with the team. They will be humbled to hear the compliments you have shared. Thanks for your support!
Fantastic experience: From the time you walk in to this office and greeted you feel valued! You’re greeted by name as you check in. Isabella is the BEST!!! Very thorough and is very informative about the condition of your teeth. I would HIGHLY recommend this group.
Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. We appreciate you!
Fantastic experience: You won’t find a better dentist or staff anywhere else. Everyone is caring, attentive, and kind. As someone who spent years fearing the dentist and dental work - I look forward to coming in and seeing the crew. Highly recommend for cosmetic dental work!
Wow! What great news! We are so happy to have given you a good experience and we are looking forward to serving you again!!
Negative experience: The dentist seemed great! However, the girl that spoke to me about the financials was not helpful and didn’t seem very knowledgeable. Very off putting experience. I unfortunately didn’t get any work done based off this interaction.
Oh no! That’s not what we want for you! Thank you for letting us know, and we hope we can make things better for you.
We will be in touch with you on Monday to help you, and answer any questions you have!
Fantastic experience: Dr Costa is incredible- very skilled, knowledgeable and has an excellent “bed side” manner. He provided exceptional care and follow up. Highly recommend !
That’s great news! Dr Costa loves to help people, and it’s good to hear that it shows. Thanks for your nice comments!
Fantastic experience: Dr Malone is the ultimate dentist. As far as I’m concerned the BEST dentist for TMJ. ! He is kind, considerate, professional and so easy to talk to. I love his entire team!
Thank you for sharing this! Dr Malone is very happy to know that it has made a difference!
Fantastic experience: Had my teeth cleaned by Izabela using the AirFlow machine, and it was a total game-changer! She was gentle, thorough, and made the whole experience surprisingly relaxing. No scraping or discomfort—just a deep clean that left my teeth smooth, fresh, and visibly brighter. Highly recommend Izabela and the AirFlow treatment!
Izabela is an amazing healthcare provider! We agree!! We are so happy that you had a great experience! Thanks for sharing!
Fantastic experience: Awesome people, awesome place! Staff were super friendly and very thorough about explaining the next steps needed in my dental care. 10/10 would recommend over any other place in a 250 mile radius
What a lovely compliment! It’s wonderful to hear that you had a great experience!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Malone and his team are awesome! I had a tooth problem and they saw me immediately and fit me in their busy schedule. Dr. Malone treated my tooth with such care, pain-free, and used the newest technology. Tammy and Missy are so kind and accommodating. I would highly recommend Dr Malone and his office.
Thank you, friend! We appreciate you and are so grateful to earn your trust!!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Costa has an amazing bedside manner. George who is an assistant (I guess), is so sweet and reassuring. My procedure for my uppers went great, Now working on bottoms so more to come Sharon Lewis Jellico, TN

Fantastic experience: The staff takes time to treat you as a friend rather than just another patient. They take the time to get to know you first, then address your dental needs. I’m always at ease there and never dread going. Isabela is wonderful as a hygienist.
