Dentist Open Now started with a simple complaint we kept hearing: people don't avoid the dentist because they don't care about their teeth — they avoid it because booking an appointment feels like a chore and the bill is a mystery until it isn't. So we put together a bench of credentialed dentists across Unicoi County County, TN and made the whole process start with one honest phone call.
Across Unicoi County, our partner offices handle everything from a chipped incisor before a job interview to a full mouth of overdue checkups. A coordinator listens to what's actually wrong, checks which nearby office has an open chair, and locks in a time before the call ends.
Providers stay in our network because patients keep coming back, not because they paid for a listing. In practice, that means your first call is usually your last call before you're sitting in the chair.
Beyond licensing, we watch how each office actually treats patients day to day — how they handle a canceled slot, a billing question, or a treatment plan that changes once X-rays come back. An office that racks up complaints about any of that gets a closer look, and repeat offenders lose their spot in the network. That kind of ongoing review is what separates us from a plain directory listing.
Years spent building relationships with dentists who answer their own phones.
Every partner office is license-verified before it joins our network.
Preventive visits and dental emergencies both start with the same phone call.
A little discomfort is normal after a filling; these signs are not normal and deserve a same-week visit.
Pain that spikes with hot or cold and lingers for more than a few seconds often means the nerve is inflamed or infected.
A gum boil or facial swelling means bacteria has already broken through and needs draining and antibiotics fast.
An exposed crack lets bacteria straight into the inner tooth, so the clock starts ticking the moment it happens.
Gums that bleed on their own, without brushing, usually signal inflammation that needs a professional cleaning.
From baby teeth to dentures, the offices in our network cover the full range of dental need in Unicoi County County, TN.
Routine cleanings, digital X-rays, and cavity checks catch problems while they're still cheap and painless to fix. Most offices in the network can fit a cleaning and exam into a single lunch-hour appointment.
If you're in pain right now, say so when you call — emergency slots get pulled from a separate part of the schedule. Most emergency visits include an X-ray, pain control, and a same-day decision on extraction versus repair.
Bonding is often the fastest, lowest-cost fix for a small chip or gap when a full veneer isn't necessary. A cosmetic consult covers cost, timeline, and material options — porcelain versus composite — before any work begins.
A damaged molar often needs a crown to prevent the crack from spreading further under chewing pressure. Bridge work usually spans two to three visits: prep, fitting, and final cementation.
Clear aligners suit mild-to-moderate cases and adult patients who want a less visible option. An orthodontic consult includes a bite analysis and a realistic timeline — most cases run twelve to twenty-four months.
Pediatric dentists use smaller instruments and a slower pace built for young patients who've never sat in a dental chair before. Nitrous oxide sedation is commonly offered for anxious younger patients undergoing fillings or extractions.
Tell us what's wrong and whether it's urgent, and we take it from there.
If it's an emergency, we look specifically for offices with same-day or after-hours capacity.
You leave the call with a set appointment, not a promise to follow up.
If your plans change, one call reschedules you — no fees for a simple date swap.
Every partner office is checked for active licensure and malpractice coverage before joining the network. We re-verify status on a rolling basis rather than trusting a one-time application.
Waiting weeks for a cleaning shouldn't be normal — our network is built to avoid that. If your first-choice office is booked, we usually have a backup nearby with room the same week.
You get a cost estimate before treatment starts, whether you're insured, on Medicaid, or paying out of pocket. We consider a mid-treatment surprise bill a red flag worth reporting back to us.
No app to download, no portal login — just a phone call that gets you an answer. Coordinators are trained to recognize an emergency by symptoms alone, without you having to ask for the "urgent" option.
If the estimate you're given on the phone doesn't match what the office quotes in person, tell us — we follow up with that office directly.
We remove offices from our network when patients consistently report poor service, not just poor reviews. We'd rather send fewer referrals to a great office than keep padding the list with mediocre ones.
Unexpected findings are explained and priced before any additional work starts.
Every dentist we refer you to has been credential-checked, not just self-listed.
We keep an updated roster of dentists across Unicoi County, covering the cities and towns inside it, so wherever you're located in the county, a nearby office is already in our network.
New offices join the network regularly, so if you don't see immediate availability the first time you call, ask again in a few weeks.

Most partner offices accept major dental insurance plans, and our coordinators confirm your specific plan before booking.
Several partner offices offer in-house membership plans as an alternative to traditional insurance.

Severe pain, facial swelling, a knocked-out tooth, or uncontrolled bleeding all qualify as emergencies that need same-day attention.

Pricing depends on your coverage and the specific office, so we confirm a number with you before booking.
