The Tellico Dentist, William S Howard, DDS 415 Veterans Memorial Drive, Tellico Plains, TN 37385

"The staff was nice but the dentist is not only rude but he is ruff. He was suppose to submit a pre-auth for my front tooth where the filling broken off.....well 2 weeks later he still hadn't submitted it to my insurance company. I could go on and on about his unprofessionalism from the 1st encounter just trying to get a return call for my 1st appointment. Please do yourself a favor and spare yourself from seeing this guy"

"Dr Howard is very professional and helped to get my teeth to where they needed to be."

"Absolutely terrible. the dental aids were always incredibly sweet but Dr. Howard is so rude. He is extremely rough and just kinda mean. i went in for a simple filling replacement for my front tooth. FINALLY after three visits i got it done, but it was done so poorly. i cant even close my mouth correctly or chew food comfortably. and my mom and i are worried that with all of that on the back of my teeth that i may end up chipping my lower teeth if i hit it on it too hard. i tried to tell them there was way too much filling on the back of both of my front teeth. he shaped it so weirdly that it looks unfit to the rest of my mouth, and he didn’t even color match:/. i don’t have too dirty of teeth. they definitely aren’t white white. but it shouldn’t have been hard at all to match whatsoever. i left the office in tears bc i feel so ugly from it. absolutely will not go back there if i need a fix ever again. the photo doesn’t even do it justice how bad it looks. & with the flash on you can hardly see how different in color it is from my natural tooth (and keep in mind. he and his aid both told me that they had multiple shades to choose from and “that it will match like it never happened” and it’s completely pushed inward of my other tooth so it looks wider at the bottom than the top. and it’s absolutely not the natural shape of my tooth:/"

"Do not go to Dr. Howard! He is extremely rude and does not care about his patients. As far as his work, he is the WORST dentist there has ever been… and that says a lot with how far medicine has come. Absolutely would NOT recommend!!"

"My parents used Dr. Howard when I was younger so naturally that’s where they would take me as well, he was always great to me. Fast forward to now, i hadn’t been to the dentist like I should and I got a crippling tooth ache over the weekend, called on Monday and the nice nurse had me in the next morning. Awesome staff, and Dr Howard was amazing as well. He talked to me and made sure I understood completely and did it without making me feel like a dummy. I really recommend using him. I’ve literally never had anything bad to say. Thank y’all so much❤️"
