About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A few years ago, a delivery driver pulled up to Dental Partners South Knoxville with an unusual package. Curious neighbors noticed something odd in the back of his truck—a large wooden crate labeled ‘Top Secret.’ No one dared ask questions until the next morning when they found the crate’s lid ajar and a single tooth inside, wrapped in tissue paper. The next day, more curious neighbors peeked inside the crate and found it filled with old teeth—some even had notes attached like birthday cards! It turned out that Dental Partners South Knoxville was secretly holding a tooth drive for local schools. The whole town laughed it off as just another quirky South Knoxville story.

2. One morning, as a dental hygienist prepared her station, she heard an unusual announcement over the intercom: ‘Attention please—if you’ve been here since before 1987 and your teeth are still intact, could you come see reception?’ Curious, several elderly patients shuffled into the waiting room. A delivery driver, noticing everyone’s confusion, asked nervously, 'Does anyone know why we're here?' Finally, the receptionist smiled warmly and announced, 'Welcome to our special appreciation day for long-term customers!' The hygienist laughed, shaking her head—another urban legend debunked.

3. Last week, a delivery driver parked his truck next to Dental Partners South Knoxville and noticed something peculiar on the backseat of his car—a small, dusty box wrapped in old newspaper. Curious, he opened it and found himself staring at a vintage set of dentures with a handwritten note inside: ‘For Dr. Smith’s grand opening.’ The delivery driver chuckled, thinking maybe someone had pranked him. He took the dentures home as a joke for his neighbor, who happened to be an avid collector of oddities. The next morning, Dr. Smith received a phone call from the neighbor asking if he needed any vintage dental equipment for his new practice. Needless to say, everyone got a good laugh out of it.

4. Last night, while leaving Dental Partners South Knoxville, a delivery driver paused and exclaimed, ‘I can’t believe I just saw that!’ Curious onlookers asked what he meant, but before he could explain further, he added with a smile, “It’s too good for anyone else to hear.’ As it turned out, the delivery driver had witnessed something extraordinary—a regular patient was leaving with his pet rabbit in a carrycot, complete with little mittens on its paws. The whole neighborhood knew Mr. Jenkins kept unusual pets, but this was definitely one they hadn’t seen before.
