Driving to Knox Valley Dental From Louisville
Our office is about 10 to 12 miles north of Louisville, TN at 11840 Kingston Pike, Suite A, across from the Ingles supermarket. The drive takes 20 to 25 minutes via the Pellissippi Parkway. Louisville families often tell us the Pellissippi route makes our office an easier choice than driving into Maryville for routine dental visits.
From central Louisville, TN:
- Take Topside Road north to the Pellissippi Parkway (Interstate 140) entrance.
- Continue north on the Pellissippi for about five miles, crossing the Tennessee River.
- Merge onto Interstate 40 west at the end of the Pellissippi (Exit 376).
- Take Exit 373 (Campbell Station Road).
- Turn left (south) onto Campbell Station Road at the end of the exit ramp.
- Continue south to the Kingston Pike intersection.
- Turn right (west) onto Kingston Pike. Continue about one mile.
- Knox Valley Dental is at 11840 Kingston Pike, Suite A, across from Ingles supermarket.
Free parking is in the lot in front of the building. The Pellissippi route is generally faster than US-129 (Alcoa Highway) and avoids the airport-area traffic. For Blount County patients on the Maryville side of the river, the same I-40 west to Exit 373 route applies.
Dental Services and Your Delta Dental Coverage
Coverage depends on your specific Delta Dental plan, so this is a general overview. Once we verify your benefits, we can tell you exactly what is covered for any service we recommend.
Preventive Care
Cleanings, exams, X-rays, fluoride, and oral cancer screenings are usually the most heavily covered category under Delta Dental. Most plans cover two preventive visits per year at a high benefit level, often at 100 percent in-network with no deductible. We send reminders so your preventive benefits never go to waste.
Fillings and Restorative Work
Fillings, crowns, bridges, root canals, and extractions are usually covered at 50 to 80 percent under Delta Dental plans. We provide a written treatment estimate before any restorative work so you can see your share up front.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Most Delta Dental plans do not cover purely cosmetic work like teeth whitening or veneers. We offer clear self-pay pricing for cosmetic services and can explain which parts of a cosmetic plan might cross into restorative coverage.
Orthodontics
Some Delta Dental plans include orthodontic coverage with a separate lifetime maximum. Many riders apply only to dependents under a specific age. We will verify your ortho coverage before quoting braces or clear aligner treatment.
Emergency Care
Toothaches, broken teeth, and lost crowns are treated as restorative work under most Delta Dental plans. Call us as soon as you can, and we will see you the same day when our schedule allows. We run your benefits while you are on your way in.
Sedation Dentistry
Sedation options are available for anxious patients and longer procedures. Coverage varies across Delta Dental plans, and we will give you a clear cost estimate up front.

Your First Visit at Knox Valley Dental
Plan on 60 to 90 minutes for your first appointment. We start by going over your dental history, any current concerns, and the basics of your Delta Dental coverage. Dr. Zaveri then does a full exam covering your teeth, gums, bite, jaw joints, and an oral cancer screening, and we take the X-rays your plan covers.
If your mouth is healthy, we follow the exam with a cleaning the same day. If we find anything that needs treatment, we put together a written plan with your Delta Dental coverage applied so you can see your share before deciding.
