University General Dentists
As family and cosmetic dentists, we see patients of all ages and in all states of dental health. With over six decades of combined experience, Dr. Williams and Dr. Wilson offer all the services you could need for complete oral health, including general preventative, cosmetic, and restorative procedures.

We revitalize your oral health by rebuilding damaged teeth through procedures such as in-office periodontal treatments, root canals, and dental implants. To enhance your smile and help you gain confidence, we also offer teeth whitening treatments, porcelain veneers, and complete smile makeovers.
Services
University General Dentists is a private practice that was established in 1998 (Go Vols!) at the University of Tennessee Medical Center as an arm of the University of Tennessee Graduate School of Medicine's dentistry residency program. Williams and Wilson were residents of the UT Graduate School of Medicine together.
General dentistry encompasses procedures that revitalize smiles, keeping teeth and gums healthy. So, whether you're looking for routine hygiene, a restorative procedure, or just a dental practice for your whole family, our team provides the gentle care you expect with the quality dentistry you deserve.
That's what we do. University General Dentists provides dental care for people of all ages - children to teens to adults, even senior dental care. This means no more running around to 2 and 3 different dentists' offices to ensure everyone's oral health needs are met. It also means that the same dentist can take care of your dental health throughout your lifetime.
You deserve to be confident in your smile! Sometimes that may mean more than just your routine dental checkup. With cosmetic dentistry your smile can be transformed to give you the best-looking smile possible. From cracked or chipped teeth to straightening and whitening, our talented dental staff can help you achieve your happiest smile.
Being proud of your smile gives you a confidence boost like nothing else! That's why we consider giving you a smile you can't wait to share the best part of our job. Combining multiple cosmetic dentistry services in a comprehensive treatment, a smile makeover can dramatically improve the appearance of your smile.

Experience was great. Very knowledgeable dentist and staff! Everyone was super friendly and helped me get through the anxiety and fear! I got my tooth filled and everything went great. The dentist explained what I will need in the future and was super helpful. Will definitely be coming back for my future needs!

Have been here twice and had great experiences both times. Very professional, kind, and high quality work. Mac was the hygienist who worked on my teeth & he did a fantastic job. Highly recommend this office for your dental needs!

I never thought I’d be taking time to give a review (much less five stars) for a dental appointment because I hate HATE going. I’m terrified and it causes such anxiety. However, Mac did a fantastic job with my cleaning and exam. He gets straight to the point and explains what he is doing and why. More importantly, he didn’t beat around the bush to tell me exactly what I need to do to prevent future issues (key word today would be floss). And Dr. Williams is great (calming) too! Thanks for making this is a visit that eases my fear. I know it will impact my upcoming visits and lessen my anxiety

Great dental team and always friendly! I've been using UGD for the last 3 years. Prior to working with Dr. Williams and Dr. Wilson, I hadn't been to the dentist for 10+ years.

Amazing experience with Dr. Shepherd, Bailey and the hygienist Mac. I have a very complicated case and not once was I nervous, worried, or in pain. I would highly recommend this practice for all dental needs.

I haven’t been to this dentist in a little over 5 years, but I am still reaping the consequences of going here. After a baseball bat to the face, I was told I needed a root canal and a crown on my front tooth. I cannot count how many times I went to this office because of the following reasons: They couldn’t get the shade of the crown correct, the temporary kept coming off, the intern never seated my PERMANENT crown with PERMANENT cement. This is just naming a few of the problems. After having my permanent crown come off for the last time, I had to go back in to get it re-cemented. Knowing

Dr. Williams is amazing! He’s so kind and he always does a great job! I’ve been coming to him for over 5 years now. I’m so glad they have a new office on the west side of town!

Think this is a very professionally run office. They tell you what you need and let you make the ultimate decision. Good dental work is pricey, we are new to the practice, and are looking forward to continued care.
