Cedar Hill residents looking for a dentist with deep experience in family, cosmetic, and implant dentistry have two strong options nearby. Peterson Family Dentistry's Chattanooga office on Jenkins Road is about 15 to 20 minutes from Cedar Hill, and the Ooltewah-Collegedale office is roughly 25 to 30 minutes via I-75. Patients who make that trip find something most local chains cannot offer: one experienced dentist, 21 years in practice, and a team that knows your name.

What Cedar Hill Patients Come to Us For

Family and Preventive Dentistry

Cleanings, exams, x-rays, sealants, oral cancer screenings, and night guards for patients of all ages. Consistent preventive care reduces the chance of expensive problems developing. We build long-term relationships with patients, so we notice changes that a new provider might miss.

Cosmetic Dentistry

Porcelain and composite veneers, professional teeth whitening, cosmetic bonding, dental bridges, and full smile makeovers. Dr. Peterson has placed thousands of veneers across his career. Cedar Hill patients who want skilled cosmetic work close to home come to us.

Dental Implants

Implant consultations, restorations, and full-arch All-on-4 cases handled in-house. Dr. Peterson has restored hundreds of implants. You work with one provider from consultation through final crown, not a series of specialists.

Restorative Dentistry

Tooth-colored fillings, crowns, bridges, and root canal therapy with current techniques. When a tooth is in trouble, we start by trying to save it.

Emergency Care

Same-day emergency appointments are available. If you are in pain or have a dental emergency and your local options are not available, call (423) 206-9660 or (423) 396-4222.

Sedation Dentistry

Sedation is available for anxious patients, whether for routine care or more involved procedures. We do not want dental fear to be the reason you avoid treatment.

Why Cedar Hill Patients Choose Peterson Family Dentistry

There are dental offices in and around Chattanooga. We understand that. But Cedar Hill patients who come to us tend to stay. Our patient retention rate is 90 to 95 percent year over year. That kind of loyalty does not happen at a chain practice where you see a different dentist every other visit.

Peterson Family Dentistry is privately owned, non-corporate, and independent. Dr. Peterson has been the same provider, in the same practice, for 21 years. With two convenient locations — both within 30 minutes of Cedar Hill — consistent, experienced care has never been easier to access.
