Dr. James T. DeBerry

Pediatric dentistry bridges the gap between early oral health and lifelong habits, addressing everything from first teeth to braces readiness. In West Knoxville, this specialty finds a home at Dr. James T. DeBerry, where the focus centers on younger patients—infants through adolescents. The practice sits in a professional suite along Westland Drive, a corridor lined with medical offices and easy access from Cedar Bluff Road. Parents navigating cavities, sealants, or developmental checkups often turn to specialists like this, where routine cleanings and fluoride treatments share the schedule with more involved procedures.

The office at 9700 Westland Dr STE 101 puts preventive care at the forefront, emphasizing education as much as treatment. Early visits might cover thumb-sucking guidance or teething relief, while older children could discuss orthodontic screenings or sports mouthguards. Unlike general dentists, pediatric practices tailor their approach to smaller mouths and shorter attention spans, balancing clinical precision with age-appropriate explanations. Knoxville’s sprawl means families in Farragut or Hardin Valley aren’t far from this location, tucked between retail strips and residential pockets.

Questions about insurance coverage, emergency slots, or initial consultations can be directed to the front desk at (865) 691-1404. The building’s layout is typical of the area’s medical plazas, with shared parking and clear signage. For those mapping the route, the directions confirm its position near the intersection with Parkside Village Place, a landmark for GPS pinpointing. No flashy billboards mark the entrance—just a steady presence in a neighborhood where minivans and SUVs dominate the parking rows.
