And while we see you promptly, that doesn’t mean we rush your visits. Our three generations of dentists take time with every patient. We don’t believe in hurrying through your care or pressuring you to choose a treatment before we answer all your questions. You’ll always know what to expect and why, no matter the reason for your visit.

Dental Services We Offer Chattanooga Patients
Our Cleveland, TN, practice offers an extensive range of treatments to Chattanooga patients.
General & Preventive Dentistry
Our office provides routine cleanings, exams, X-rays, and oral cancer screenings, which form the foundation of a healthy smile. We elevate your visit by providing complimentary paraffin wax hand treatments during cleanings. Before you leave the office, we may even have a freshly baked cookie available for you as a treat!
We recommend visits every six months, and our spa-like experience makes each appointment one you can look forward to.
Cosmetic Dentistry
As you might expect from our practice name, we offer several cosmetic dentistry options! These include teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, and Lumineers for Chattanooga patients seeking a more beautiful, confident smile.
Restorative Dentistry
Tooth-colored fillings, gum disease treatment, root canal treatment, and same-day CEREC crowns can help restore damage and protect your oral health. For missing teeth, dental bridges and dental implants can restore both function and appearance. We also offer mini dental implants, a less invasive option with a shorter recovery period than traditional implants.
Orthodontics
For patients interested in improving their dental alignment, we offer traditional braces and more discreet Invisalign. For some patients, improving the bite may also relieve jaw tension and chronic headaches. Our dentists practice neuromuscular dentistry, measuring jaw muscles to find the position where a patient’s bite feels most comfortable. This means orthodontic treatment can ease TMJ discomfort while improving your smile.
Emergency Dental Care
The Center for Cosmetic Dentistry offers same-day emergency appointments whenever possible, even for new patients. Call us when you need us.
Family and Children’s Dentistry
We welcome patients of all ages, and our team knows how to make even the youngest visitors feel comfortable. Bringing the whole family to one practice simplifies your schedule and ensures consistent care.
Sedation Dentistry
To ease dental anxiety, we offer a variety of sedation options at our practice, including nitrous oxide, sometimes called “happy gas,” and oral sedation in pill form, among other selections that we’re happy to discuss with you!
Additional Services
We also offer a number of additional services, like the Snap-On Smile and a variety of denture options (including the Denture Fountain of Youth solution). Patients dealing with chronic headaches may also benefit from our TMJ treatment, since jaw alignment can contribute to headaches more than most people realize. Finally, sleep apnea treatment and custom sports mouthguards round out our practice’s offerings for Chattanooga patients.
