You and Your Teeth
Dr. Henson treats you like family. Your needs matter, let us help.
Henson Family Dentistry was born from the practice of Dr. Gregory Salomone. Dr. Don Henson took over this practice in the early 1990’s and continued to take care of the people of Knoxville. Now a father-son duo of Dr. Don Henson and Dr. Reece Henson, Henson Family Dentistry is here to continue treating patients like family and to provide the best care possible.

Highly recommend him!
I've been going to Dr. Henson for over 30 years. Even though I now live 3 hours from Knoxville, I've continued with him as my dentist, scheduling appointments for when I'm home visiting family, because he and his whole staff are simply the best. Highly recommend him!
