Dr. Franklin J. Prout, DDS

Dental offices in West Knoxville often blend into the professional landscape, but a second-floor suite on Fox Road has been a consistent presence for routine care. Near the intersection with Lovell Road, this practice handles everything from preventive cleanings to more involved procedures like crowns and extractions. The area’s mix of medical offices and retail means parking lots fill quickly midday, though evenings tend to quiet down.

Most patients arriving here come for standard checkups or fillings, but the practice also addresses issues like gum disease and TMJ disorders. Fox Road’s stretch between Walker Springs and Kingston Pike has long been a hub for healthcare providers, making it a logical stop for those already running errands in the area. Unlike some dental chains, this office keeps its focus narrow—no cosmetic whitening specials or orthodontic ads in the windows.

For anyone planning a first visit, calling ahead to (865) 690-5231 confirms availability without navigating hold menus. The building sits just north of the Kroger shopping center, so landmarks make it easier to spot than GPS alone. Directions and suite details are pinned on the map here, though the entrance faces the back lot.
