Dr. Rachel Chaney

Rachel Chaney was born in a small town in the mountains of Eastern, KY. At a young age, she became inspired by the excellent skills and dental care provided by her older brother, Dr. Jason Chaney, and followed in his footsteps to receive the best dental training possible. She received an undergraduate degree in Biology from Pikeville College and a Doctorate in Dental Medicine from the University of Louisville in 2016.

After graduating, Dr. Chaney set forth to gain as much experience possible and began practicing in a busy dental practice in Kentucky. She focused on providing the best care possible to patients with diverse levels of oral health based on their specific priorities and needs. Gaining experience in endodontics, oral surgery, full mouth rehabilitation, and cosmetic dentistry, she soon realized that the next step to take was to work alongside the best practitioners she knew which led her to join the Elite Dental team in Dandridge and Maryville.

When Dr. Chaney isn’t working on smiles in the clinic, she focuses on making her friends and loved ones smile just as bright. Always looking for adventure, fun, and staying active, you’ll either find her working hard, in the mountains hiking with her dog, or enjoying time at home with her friends and family.
