Children's Dentistry of Chattanooga, a locally owned and board-certified pediatric dental practice, is redefining pediatric dental care by integrating clinical expertise with an enjoyable patient experience. Serving families in Chattanooga, East Brainerd, Ooltewah, Ringgold, Hixson, and the greater Chattanooga area, the practice offers a comprehensive range of services including first dental visits, preventative dentistry, sedation dentistry, frenectomy procedures, and specialized care for children with special needs. Each service is delivered with child-friendly techniques and a patient-centered approach.
Led by Dr. Clay P. Goins, a board-certified pediatric dentist and "Best of the Best" award winner, the practice emphasizes building trust through the "Tell-Show-Do" method, which explains and demonstrates each tool and procedure in a non-threatening way before treatment. This approach helps reduce anxiety and fosters a positive association with dental care from an early age.
A key differentiator is the practice's office environment, often described as the "Disney World of pediatric dentistry." The space features a climbing tree, a saltwater aquarium, and a model train running overhead, designed to feel more like a discovery museum than a clinical setting. First appointments follow a four-step welcome experience: a grand tour, introduction to tools, gentle examination and cleaning, and a celebration with a treat and induction into the No Cavity Club.
For children requiring additional support, Children's Dentistry of Chattanooga offers sedation dentistry options from mild nitrous oxide to expert-led deep sedation. The practice also provides advanced laser frenectomy procedures for infants and children with tongue or lip-ties, which are quick, minimally invasive, and anesthesia-free, offering immediate benefits for breastfeeding and speech development. Additionally, the team has decades of experience in adaptive care for children with special needs, ensuring a safe and compassionate environment.
This approach has significant implications for the pediatric dental industry and families. By making dental visits fun and fear-free, the practice aims to establish lifelong positive oral health habits. For business leaders, this model demonstrates how combining clinical excellence with an exceptional patient experience can differentiate a practice in a competitive market. The focus on specialized services like sedation dentistry and frenectomy procedures also addresses specific patient needs, potentially reducing the need for referrals and keeping care within the practice. As more families seek stress-free healthcare experiences, Children's Dentistry of Chattanooga's approach could set a benchmark for pediatric dental practices nationwide.
