Low-cost community dental center to open in Chattanooga




Revive Dental is scheduled to open a low-cost community dental center in Chattanooga in February. The first clinic opened in Birmingham in 2011 and has cared for more than 35,000 patients.

Revive Dental is a nonprofit community clinic that serves patients with limited access to traditional dental care. The clinic is staffed by local dentists who volunteer to serve others.

While services are not free, prices are kept as low as possible. For example, patients can walk-in for an extraction of a painful tooth for about $65.

Located in the Ridgedale neighborhood at 1212 Dodds Avenue, the clinic has six dental operatories that provide a wide range of dental services, including cleanings, fillings, extractions and tooth replacement with dentures.

The clinic was made possible through partnerships with area donors, including Maclellan Foundation, McKenzie Foundation and Community Foundation of Greater Chattanooga.

Revive Dental will host an open house and ribbon cutting Wednesday, Feb. 23, noon-2 p.m. Members of the Chattanooga community are invited.

Patients interested in accessing dental services at Revive Dental can visit ReviveDental.org or call (423) 206-9641. Walk-ins are welcome.
