Making smiles in East Tennessee healthier, wider, and brighter since 2012

Dental health is not just about white smiles: it’s about having strong teeth and healthy gums. We have created an environment that will bring you personalized, friendly care with a unique level of quality. We believe that dental care should be unique to the individual who receives it.

Our office has a long history of providing comfortable, affordable care in our community. By combining the latest technology with traditional techniques, we give our patients the best care. At Roane Dental Associates, we strive to improve the dental health of our patients through quality dental care, technology, and education. Maintaining your trust and oral health is our top priority.
