The mix is striking for a place this size. Fourteen of the 44 listings include oral and maxillofacial surgery and six include orthodontics, alongside 22 general practices. This guide sets out what is here and what is not.
What is listed in Grandview Heights
Twenty two of the 44 listings include general dentistry and 14 include oral and maxillofacial surgery. Six list orthodontics, four list pediatric dentistry and two are registered as dental clinics. Practices can carry more than one specialty, so the counts overlap.
E Lamar Alexander Pkwy is the main address with 18 listings, plus two more written as East Lamar Alexander Pkwy. Crest Rd has eight, Smithview Dr six and Parliament Dr four. The listings record three ZIP codes: 37804, 37803 and 38704.
Thirty two listings are individual practitioners and 12 are organizations. Thirty one of the 44 were registered before 2010 and the oldest registration dates to 2005, which makes this a long established group of practices.
How to choose between them
Check the specialty before you call. Only half of the 44 listings are general practices, so if you are booking a routine checkup, a good number of what you see here is not the right place to phone.
For general care, ask what a new patient exam with x-rays costs, how quickly an existing patient in pain can be seen, and which treatments the practice does itself. That last answer matters here because two of the common referral specialties are thin locally.
The oral surgery depth is the neighborhood's strong point. Fourteen listings for a town of 101 practices means that if you are referred for wisdom teeth, a surgical extraction or an implant, you can choose rather than take the only option. Six orthodontic listings gives families a similar choice.
When you need something that is not here
Three specialties have no listing in Grandview Heights, and the nearest alternatives are close but very small. Endodontics is nearest elsewhere in Maryville, about 1.1 miles away, with three practices. Periodontics is at the same distance with one. Prosthodontics is nearest in Alcoa, 2.1 miles away, also with one.
Short distances, narrow fields. Book early rather than assuming an appointment will be there, and ask your general dentist how much of the work they can do themselves. Many handle straightforward root canals and basic gum treatment without referring.
For more general dentistry, Lonas Addition is 2.1 miles away with 16 listings. Belle Meade has five at 1.2 miles, Highland Acres four at 3.4 miles and Turnberry Vistas three at 2.0 miles. None of them is large, so Grandview Heights is where most of the local choice sits.
Insurance and paying
None of the 44 listings in Grandview Heights has been claimed, and none publishes a website or opening hours through us. The registry these entries are built from records who a provider is and what they practice, and it holds no fees, no opening hours and no insurance information at all. That is why claimed listings matter: claiming is the only way a practice puts its own hours, fees and coverage on the page.
So ask on the phone. Name your plan in full rather than just the insurer, since insurers run several networks with different lists of participating practices. An out of network practice may still submit the claim for you, but the shortfall between their fee and the allowed amount is yours.
Before oral surgery or orthodontics, ask for a written estimate with the procedure codes, and check whether sedation or anesthesia is billed separately. In a smaller market that document matters more, because your alternatives are fewer.
If it is urgent
Call at opening and be specific about the symptom. With 20 listings on E Lamar Alexander Pkwy and eight on Crest Rd, a short list of numbers covers most of the neighborhood, though remember that half of them are not general practices.
Some symptoms need an emergency room rather than a dentist. Go to hospital straight away if swelling is spreading toward your eye or down into your neck, if you are having trouble breathing or swallowing, if you have a fever alongside facial swelling, or if bleeding from your mouth will not stop.
If nothing local can see you, dentist directory searches by distance rather than by neighborhood, which is the practical option in a town where the nearest alternative may not sit inside a named district at all.
