Insurance & Financing

If I need a dental procedure and I don't have the cash to be able to pay for it, are dental financing options available to pay for my treatment?

Yes, they are. In our office, we actually partner with several high-tech dental financing companies to ensure a seamless, easy process for patients. You can manage your account online, make payments automatically or manually, and adjust payments as needed.

Will I have to pay for my dental procedure up front?

The answer to that is yes and no. We do discuss the finances of dentistry with you, as we understand that it can be complicated. We sit down with you and discuss all the options available to you, both clinically and financially, to ensure the best possible outcome for your dental health.

What dental financing options are available at Nooga Dentistry and how do they work?

We work with several different companies that have been great for our patients. Depending on your treatment, we determine which company best suits your needs. Some offer longer financing options which break up payments over a longer period of time, making your payments smaller.

Does all dental financing require a credit check?

Yes, but many of them will do what's called a soft credit check where it doesn't actually ding your credit or even show up on your credit when checked.

Does dental insurance typically cover the cost of dental treatment?

Not exactly. If you've been going to the dentist regularly and only require a little bit of dental work, dental insurance will generally cover a percentage of it. However, if we're playing catch up, your insurance will still cover you as normal, but we may need to complete prior years' dental work in the current year.

How can I find out if my dental insurance covers my dental work?

In our office, we look up your dental insurance before you even come in. That way, we know exactly what your insurance tells us they will and won't cover and can discuss payment plans and insurance coverage with you.

If my dental insurance will only cover a part of my treatment, is dental financing available to cover the rest of it?

Yes, this is actually the most popular option. We help set up payment plans so that you can get the treatment you need and want.

Can Nooga Dentistry help me find the dental financing that I need to cover my dental procedures?

Yes. We partner with several different insurance companies to find the best fit for your needs.

How can I get started with dental financing?

Give us a call at (423) 592-7676 and we'll bring you in for a consultation. We diagnose and treat a treatment plan, discuss your dental needs and overall expenses, and then get you partnered up with a dental finance company that suits your needs.

At Nooga Dentistry, we’re proud to offer a full range of dental services designed to protect, restore, and enhance your smile all conveniently under one roof.

General Dentistry

Good oral health starts with preventive care. Our general dentistry services focus on keeping your teeth and gums healthy through routine cleanings, thorough dental exams, and early detection of potential issues. We use digital x-rays for accurate, low-radiation imaging and perform oral cancer screenings during every checkup. Preventive treatments like fluoride applications and sealants help safeguard your teeth from decay, ensuring your smile stays healthy year-round.

We believe that oral health plays a vital role in your overall wellbeing. Our wellness-focused approach emphasizes preventive care, patient education, and minimally invasive treatment methods. By addressing small concerns before they develop into larger issues, we help you maintain a balanced, healthy smile that supports your long-term health and confidence.

Restorative Dentistry

If your teeth are damaged, worn, or missing, our restorative dentistry services can help rebuild your smile’s strength and beauty.

  • Dental Bonding: A quick and effective way to repair minor chips, cracks, or gaps using tooth-colored resin that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth.
  • Dental Bridges: A reliable solution to replace one or more missing teeth, restoring balance and function to your bite.
  • Dental Implants: The most durable and natural-looking replacement option for missing teeth. Dental implants are surgically placed into the jawbone to provide a permanent, stable foundation for crowns or bridges.
  • Full Mouth Rehabilitation: For patients with multiple dental concerns, we design a comprehensive treatment plan to restore comfort, function, and aesthetics across your entire smile.
  • Individual Dental Implants: Ideal for single-tooth replacement, these implants provide a natural look and feel while helping preserve bone density and facial structure.

Enhance your confidence and achieve the smile you’ve always wanted with our advanced cosmetic dentistry services.

  • Invisalign: Straighten your teeth comfortably and discreetly without metal brackets or wires. Invisalign aligners are removable, nearly invisible, and ideal for both teens and adults.

  • Teeth Whitening: Professionally applied whitening treatments safely remove years of stains and discoloration, leaving you with a noticeably brighter and more radiant smile.
