The listings are split fairly evenly between two roads, and the specialty coverage is broad but shallow. This guide reports only the registry records: counts, specialties, streets and the ZIP code. Fees, hours and insurance are not held in that data.
What is listed in Bearden
General dentistry is recorded against 30 listings. There are also 4 in orthodontics, 3 dental clinics, 3 in prosthodontics, 2 in oral and maxillofacial surgery, and one each in periodontics, endodontics and oral pathology.

Twenty-seven are registered as individual practitioners and 17 as organizations. Twenty-three of the 44 have been registered since before 2010, and the earliest registration here dates to 2005.

How to choose between them
For routine care the 30 general dentistry listings are the shortlist, and since everything sits in one ZIP code, availability rather than distance is the practical filter. Kingston Pike and Highland Place Way are the two roads worth checking first.
Specialist coverage here is broad but thin. Orthodontics has 4 listings and prosthodontics has 3, which gives some choice. Periodontics, endodontics and oral pathology have one listing each, so if you need gum surgery or specialist root canal treatment, call early rather than assuming there is spare capacity.
The split between 27 individual practitioners and 17 organizations means both small practices and larger ones are here. If you want short notice appointments, the organizations and the 3 dental clinics are usually the better first calls.
If you need something Bearden does not have
Pediatric dentistry is the one missing specialty, and the nearest listings are close: about 1.3 miles away elsewhere in Knoxville, where 35 practices are recorded. That is a large pool for a short trip, so finding a specialist children's dentist should be straightforward.
It is also worth asking the general dentists in Bearden whether they see children. Many general practices handle routine children's care and only refer on when something more complex is needed.
For more names nearby, Middlebrook Heights is 1.5 miles away with 14 practices and West Hills is 2.2 miles away with 11. Deane Hill has 6 at 0.6 miles, Rocky Hill has 5 at 2.0 miles, West Haven has 4 at 3.1 miles and Kingston Hills has 3 at 2.5 miles.
Insurance and paying
In network versus out of network is the biggest single factor in cost. In network means the practice and your insurer have agreed rates and your share is known in advance. Out of network means the practice sets its own fee and the plan pays part of it, or nothing.
Confirm network status with your insurer rather than relying on the practice, then ask for a written estimate before treatment begins. It should list the procedure codes, the fee for each, the expected insurance payment and your balance on the day.
Our listings are built from public registry data. That registry holds no fees, no opening hours and no insurance information for any practice. In Bearden, one of the 44 listings has a published website and one has published hours on record, and none has been claimed by its owner. Claiming a listing is how a practice adds the rest of that detail.
If it is urgent
For a broken tooth, a lost filling or pain that painkillers are not managing, call the general dentists on Kingston Pike and Highland Place Way and ask outright for a same day appointment. Describe the symptom, because that is what practices triage on.
Some symptoms need a hospital emergency room rather than a dentist. Go there if swelling is spreading toward your eye or down into your neck, if breathing or swallowing has become difficult, if you have a fever alongside facial swelling, or if bleeding will not stop.
If nothing in 37919 is available, search by distance at dentist directory and work outward through Deane Hill and Middlebrook Heights.
