As most, the dentist is not my favorite place to go...until now 😀. It's such a warm and welcoming atmosphere, I was anxious, but as soon as they started my exam, I felt relaxed and comfortable. Dr Cribbs let me know in a thorough, well communicated way exactly what I needed. Such a great experience. I've already scheduled my next appointments! Oh and their Front desk Barb is kind, efficient and cute as a button.

Amazing results from a difficult crown procedure! Dr. Cribbs saved a tooth that was in very bad shape! The procedure was pain free. Was made physically very comfortable and well informed throughout the procedure. Highly recommend this practice!

I was absolutely blown away by my experience at TLC! I have always had dental anxiety, but I felt at ease as soon as I walked in the door. Everyone was so kind, welcoming and very informative. My initial exam was extremely thorough and impressive. I highly recommend!

TLC is a wonderful dentist's office. When I first came in, I had a lot of work that needed to be done. Dr. Cribbs and her staff were very patient and kind throughout the entire process. Personally speaking, I'm not great when it comes to needles and have had bad experiences with dental injections in the past, but I can honestly say any injections I've had to have here have been easy and relatively pain free. If you're looking for a dentist in the Knoxville area, I highly recommend TLC Dental Care.

I’ve been a patient of Dr Cribbs for a long, long time and she’s awesome. I have a legendary gag reflex, and recently needed a crown. Normally, that procedure is really hard on me. Dr. Cribbs was able to use an awesome digital wand that mapped out my entire mouth. It was so easy! The resulting crown was flawless!

Dr. Cribbs and her staff are absolutely awesome. I needed a new dentist after changing insurance coverage, and I'm really glad I found this place. Dr. Cribbs was extremely thorough with checking my mouth and surrounding areas during my initial visit. She also took the time to explain each step and check for any questions. Every staff member there was also exceedingly kind. Really just excellent overall.

This place is awesome, I wasn’t having a good day and the dentists here make you feel comfortable and take your mind off things a bit. They tell you exactly what needs to be done and when it should be, doctor Cribbs and her staff are absolutely amazing if I could give 10 or 20 stars I would

I have been seeing Dr. Cribbs for at least 7 or 8 years now, and am very pleased with her work. Not only is she good at her profession but her personality makes for a very pleasant visit. The atmosphere is so comfortable and I love watching and laughing at the animal channel while having my procedures done.

The Doc is fantastic, easy manner and very well versed in my condition. Her knowledge and expertise in innovative treatments is something I have yet to encounter in East TN. I look forward to working with her and her team and feel fortunate to have found TLC Dental Care.
