Common Questions
Quick answers about insurance, hours, new patient visits, and the services we offer at Bright Family Dentistry.
Are you accepting new patients?
Yes — we are actively welcoming new patients of all ages. You can request an appointment from any page on this site, or call (423) 415-1421 during office hours.
What dental insurance do you accept?
We accept most major PPO dental plans. If your plan isn't listed, please call our office at (423) 415-1421 — we're happy to verify benefits before you book.
Do you see children and treat the whole family?
Yes. We provide family dentistry from first teeth to senior smiles. Preventive care, cleanings, sealants, and education for kids are part of our routine practice.
Do you handle dental emergencies?
Yes. We prioritize urgent cases — toothaches, broken teeth, lost fillings, and infections — and work to fit emergency patients in the same day whenever possible. Call (423) 415-1421 right away.
What are your office hours?
Monday through Thursday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. The office is closed for lunch from 12:00 to 1:00 PM (no appointments during that hour), and appointments end by 4:00 PM. We are closed Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. After-hours emergencies should be addressed at the nearest emergency room.
Where are you located?
1421 Armour St., Chattanooga, TN 37412. We serve patients throughout Chattanooga, East Ridge, Brainerd, East Brainerd, Red Bank, Hixson, Ooltewah, and the rest of Hamilton County.
What languages does the practice support?
Dr. Robina Habib welcomes patients in English, Hindi, and Punjabi. Please mention your language preference when scheduling so we can accommodate you comfortably.
Do you do fillings, root canals, and extractions?
Yes. We provide tooth-colored fillings for cavities, root canal therapy to save infected or damaged teeth, and gentle extractions when a tooth can't be saved — along with crowns, bridges, and deep cleanings for gum health. Our first goal is always to preserve your natural teeth.
Do you offer Invisalign and cosmetic dentistry?
Yes — Invisalign clear aligners, professional teeth whitening, porcelain crowns & bridges, and bonding are all available. See our services page for more detail.
Do you offer dentures or partials?
Yes. We provide custom full and partial dentures that restore missing teeth with a comfortable, natural-looking fit, along with repairs, relines, and adjustments. We'll review options, timeline, and cost during a consultation.
What if I don't have dental insurance?
Ask about our Bright Dental Discount Plan — an in-house membership with one simple annual payment (or monthly autopay) that covers your exam, X-rays, and two cleanings per year, plus 15% off other treatment we provide. It's not insurance, so there are no claim forms. Call (423) 415-1421 for current pricing.
What forms of payment do you accept?
Cash, credit card, debit card, and most insurance. We can discuss payment options for treatment plans not fully covered by insurance — please ask at your appointment.
What should I bring to my first visit?
Photo ID, your insurance card, a list of current medications and any medical conditions, and previous dental records or X-rays if you have them. See our New Patients page for a complete checklist.
