CHATTANOOGA, TN — Peterson Family Dentistry has been named one of the top 10 dentists in Chattanooga by BusinessRate, a recognition that reflects the practice's commitment to high-quality dental care and patient satisfaction. Dr. David Peterson, founder of the practice, received the honor based on patient reviews, service quality, and community reputation.

The BusinessRate ranking evaluates dental practices across several factors, including patient feedback, treatment outcomes, office environment, and overall patient experience. Peterson Family Dentistry earned its spot among the top 10 through consistently high marks in each category. The practice serves patients throughout the greater Chattanooga area, including Ooltewah, Collegedale, East Brainerd, Cleveland, and all of Hamilton County.

Peterson Family Dentistry operates two locations in the Chattanooga area and has built its reputation on a patient-first approach that sets it apart from larger corporate dental chains. The practice treats patients of all ages and offers a full range of services, from routine cleanings and preventive care to cosmetic dentistry, emergency dental services, and teeth replacement options including dental implants.

"This recognition means a great deal to our entire team," said Dr. David Peterson, DDS. "We started this practice with a simple goal: treat every patient the way we would want to be treated. When you walk through our doors, you become part of our family. We take the time to listen to your concerns, explain your options, and make sure you feel comfortable every step of the way. Being recognized by BusinessRate tells us that our patients feel that difference, and that motivates us to keep doing what we do every single day."

The practice has earned a five-star rating from patients who praise the friendly staff, comfortable office environment, and the quality of care they receive. Many patients note that Peterson Family Dentistry takes time to explain procedures and answer questions, something they say is often missing at larger dental offices.

One of the things that sets Peterson Family Dentistry apart is its focus on making dental visits stress-free. The practice offers sedation dentistry for patients who experience anxiety about dental procedures. The office itself was designed with patient comfort in mind, featuring modern amenities and technology that allow for less invasive and more effective treatments.

The practice accepts most PPO insurance plans and offers new patient specials for those without insurance coverage. A comprehensive new patient exam with X-rays is available for $125, while an exam package that includes X-rays and a cleaning is offered at $199. These options make quality dental care accessible to families throughout the Chattanooga area, regardless of their insurance situation.

Peterson Family Dentistry also provides same-day emergency dental appointments for patients experiencing tooth pain or other urgent dental issues. This commitment to accessibility reflects the practice's understanding that dental problems do not always happen during convenient hours or at predictable times.

The BusinessRate recognition comes at a time when many patients are looking for dental providers they can trust. With concerns about corporate dental chains and impersonal care on the rise, practices like Peterson Family Dentistry offer an alternative. The practice remains privately owned and independent, which allows the team to focus on patient relationships rather than meeting corporate quotas.

Dr. Peterson and his team, which includes Dr. Aaron Keiser, bring years of education and advanced training to their work. The practice invests in continuing education to stay current with the latest techniques and technologies in dentistry. This commitment to ongoing learning allows the team to offer treatment options that are both effective and minimally invasive.

The two Peterson Family Dentistry locations offer convenient access for patients across the region. The Ooltewah-Collegedale dental office is located at 9325 Apison Pike, Suite 119, and can be reached at (423) 396-4222.
