About Us

Serving Johnson City for Over 40 Years

Over the years, Boones Creek Dentistry has gone through many changes as we seek to best serve the dental needs of patients in Johnson City and surrounding areas. When it comes to finding a dentist, you want to make sure your practice is equipped with the best equipment—and most importantly—the best people.
Most recently, Dr. Rick Guthrie and his son Dr. Van Guthrie have taken over the practice that Dr. Michael Amburgey established 40 years ago. We strive to continue the same goal that Dr. Amburgey had—to give our patients the best care possible.
