Cleanings & Exams

Every professional cleaning at Sunrise Dental goes beyond what your daily brushing and flossing can accomplish. Our skilled hygienists remove stubborn plaque and tartar build-up, while our dentists perform thorough examinations to catch potential issues before they become problems. We'll also provide personalized tips to enhance your at-home care routine.

Periodontal Care

Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile. Our periodontal treatments target gum disease at every stage, from early gingivitis to more advanced conditions. We offer scaling and root planing, maintenance cleaning programs, and ongoing care to keep your gums strong and healthy.

Let me start out by saying I am terrified of the dentist but Sunrise Dental Care in Chattanooga made me feel very calm and relaxed the doctor and the staff took care of me to the uttermost care a person could be taken care of and I am so thankful that I found a dentistry I can call family.

Sunrise Dental Care has been wonderful! The dentists & their staff are meticulous in their work. And, more importantly they are kind & considerate as well as extremely concerned for their patients. I’ve been going to this office for years and I trust them completely with ALL my dental work - so much so that I came back to them for major work when I lived in NC! Plus the staff knows how to work with insurance companies! They truly take a concerted interest in their patients.
