Meet the Doctor

Welcome to South Peters Dentistry! I'm Dr. Luke Hunley, and I'm delighted to introduce myself and share a bit about my passion for dentistry and commitment to your oral health.

A Passion for Helping People

When asked why I chose to become a dentist, the answer is simple — I enjoy helping people and working with my hands. Dentistry allows me to combine these two passions in a meaningful way. Every day, I have the opportunity to positively impact my patients' lives by improving their oral health and their smiles.

My Approach to Dental Care in Knoxville, TN

At South Peters Dentistry, I believe in treating every patient like family. I take a straightforward approach to dentistry, ensuring you always understand your oral health status and treatment options. I aim to work with you to understand your dental needs and help you achieve your oral health goals.


I specialize in a wide range of dental procedures, with a particular focus on crowns and anterior root canals. As we look to the future, I'm excited about expanding our services to include implant dentistry, which will allow us to offer even more comprehensive care to our patients.

Commitment to Continuing Education

To provide the best possible care for my patients, I am committed to ongoing professional development. I complete 40 hours of continuing education every two years, staying up-to-date with the latest advancements in dental techniques and technologies.

Advanced Technology for Better Care

At South Peters Dentistry, we've invested in state-of-the-art equipment to enhance your dental experience. Our office is equipped with digital X-rays and CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) technology, allowing for more accurate diagnoses and treatment planning.

Beyond the Dental Chair

When I'm not in the office, you'll likely find me on the golf course or enjoying vacations with my family. These moments of relaxation and connection are essential to maintaining a balanced life and returning to the office refreshed and ready to provide the best care possible.
