Meet Brad Isom, DMD
Dr. Brad Isom grew up right here in Knoxville, and he still calls the Ball Camp area home today. He didn't move to town to open a practice, he's spent his whole life here, and that shows in how he treats every patient like a neighbor. Isom Dentistry accepts most major PPO insurance plans, including Aetna, Cigna, Delta Dental, and Blue Cross Blue Shield, so getting quality care doesn't have to mean starting over with a new dentist. Whether you're due for a cleaning or you've been putting off dental work because of anxiety, Dr. Isom and his team want you to feel welcome from your very first call.
Honest, neighborly care
Meet Dr. Brad Isom
Dr. Isom leads Isom Dentistry with a simple goal: treat people the way he'd want his own family treated. He provides general, cosmetic, restorative, and implant dentistry for patients of every age, from first cleanings to full dental implants and everything in between. Patients often mention how down-to-earth he is, not the type to rush through an appointment or talk over your head with jargon. You can read more about the practice and the team who supports him on our About Us page.
Training & credentials
Education & Advanced Training
DMD, University of Louisville School of Dentistry
Dr. Isom earned his DMD, or Doctor of Dental Medicine, from the University of Louisville School of Dentistry. That degree gave him the foundation for the general, restorative, and surgical care he provides every day at Isom Dentistry.
Spear Academy Continuing Education
Dentistry keeps changing, so Dr. Isom continues his education through the Spear Academy, a respected program known for advanced training in restorative and cosmetic techniques. This ongoing coursework helps him stay current on implant placement, cosmetic dentistry options like veneers and same-day crowns, and other treatments that have improved a lot over the last decade.
Knoxville roots
A Knoxville Native, Not an Outside Transplant
Some dentists move to a city and set up shop. Dr. Isom didn't. He was raised in Knoxville, went to school in the region, and chose to build his practice in the same community that raised him. That kind of history means he understands the pace of life in Knoxville, from busy families in Karns to longtime residents in West Hills, and he treats his patients like the neighbors they are, because many of them are.
Dr. Isom's Approach to Patient Care
Honest, Pressure-Free Treatment Planning
Dr. Isom doesn't believe in pushing treatment you don't need or want. Patients consistently say he lays out their options honestly, explains what each one involves, and lets them decide what's right for their smile and their budget. If you've ever left a dental office feeling talked into something, that's not how visits go here.
Gentle Care for Anxious Patients
A lot of patients come to Dr. Isom after avoiding the dentist for years because of fear or a bad past experience. He and his team take that seriously. Appointments move at a pace that feels comfortable, and nitrous oxide sedation is available for patients who need extra help relaxing in the chair. Nobody is judged for needing a little more time or reassurance.
