Dr. Shanks and his team have helped thousands of Crossville-area patients transform their smiles and change their lives for the better.

Now celebrating over 30 years in dentistry, Dr. Darrel Clabough received his dental degree from the University of Tennessee in Memphis, and has been igniting smiles ever since. After owning his own practice for many years in Maryville, he made the decision to join the Northside family in 2021. He has dedicated much of his time to becoming a lifetime student of dentistry, and has also become one of the few dentists in the state of Tennessee to become IV sedation certified. Dr. Clabough enjoys hunting, fishing, sports, and spending time with his 3 children, and two grandchildren.

A Crossville area local, Dr. Johnny Shanks grew up here and feels privileged to be able to serve his local community with exceptional personalized dental care. He graduated from Campbellsville University with a BS in biology and chemistry. He attained his dental degree from the University of Tennessee School of Dentistry in Memphis. To provide exceptional care to his patients and their families, he’s also graduated from the Kois Center® for Dental Excellence, which teaches the latest advances in esthetics, implants, and restorative dentistry. Dr. Shanks partners with his patients to help you maintain your oral health and promises to keep you informed throughout your time at Northside Family Dentistry so you can make educated decisions about your dental and overall health.

When not in the office, he enjoys spending time with his wife, Portia, who he’s been married to since 2005, and their four children.

Fun fact: Dr. Shanks played NAIA collegiate baseball for the Campbellsville Tigers, where their team’s hard work rewarded the title of 2003 NAIA Conference Champions.

We offer a safe place for patients to learn new things. Our dentists love teaching patients about good oral care practices and improving their smiles. We focus on giving you the best experience while you are in our hands.
