you may want to look on the yellow page to find out which dentist will accept payment plan or you can going to the dental school close by.
Reply:I feel your pain, literally! The costs will vary from dentist to dentist. I too have no dental insurance, but you can actually purchase a plan independently. Even online, I visited: http://www.dentalplans.com/ You can actually enter your zipcode and it will provide you with plans that are accepted in your area. You would first need to find a dentist in your area that you prefer for service, then make sure that dentist accepts your dental insurance before you purchase it. READ THE FINE PRINT. Most likely you will still have to pay a percentage of the costs. Check also with the dental office, most times they can arrange a payment plan for the remainder of your balance. Best of luck!
Reply:Usually the local community college, college, or university has a dental clinic. I looked online and your town college does:


Chattanooga State Technical Community College: Dental Clinic


It is usually dental students and they do work at reduced cost.





You might also want to try the Orange Grove Center

although I couldn't tell if this would be helpful or not





You might also try going to your local social services agency and asking about dental clinics. They will have a list.





Also you might want to look into the City of Chattanooga Health and Wellness Centers
