Welcome to
McMinn Dental Center
We are honored that you’ve chosen us for your dental care. Our goal is to make your experience—from your first phone call to your finished treatment—as seamless and comfortable as possible. This page contains everything you need to know to prepare for your visit.

Your First Visit
What to Expect:
Your journey to a healthier smile starts with a thorough understanding of your needs. We’ve designed our process to be clear and personalized:
Note: While many treatments can begin on the same day as your consultation, complex medical histories or extensive treatment plans may require a second appointment to ensure the highest standard of care.

Preparing for Your Appointment.
To help us provide the best care, please ensure you have the following ready for your consultation:
- X-Rays: If your previous dentist has taken recent X-rays, please request that they forward them to our office or bring them with you. We can also take any necessary additional X-rays at our facility.
- Medication List: A current list of any medications you are taking.
- Insurance Information: Your dental insurance card (if applicable).
- Medical Alerts: Please notify us if you have a medical condition (e.g., diabetes, high blood pressure, artificial heart valves/joints) or if you are on anticoagulant therapy.
- Minors: For their safety, all patients under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
Insurance & Coverage.
We offer high-quality care and work with most major insurance plans to maximize your benefits.
In-Network Providers:
- Delta Dental of Tennessee
- BlueCross BlueShield (BCBS) of Tennessee
Out-of-Network Information: We gladly file claims for all insurance companies. If you are out-of-network, we recommend contacting your provider before your visit to verify copays or deductibles. Please note that if we cannot verify benefits with an out-of-network company, payment may be required upfront, and you will be reimbursed once the insurance pays.

Financial Policy & Payment Options
We are committed to providing the finest care at the most reasonable cost. To maintain this, payment is due at the time service is rendered.
Please remember you are fully responsible for all fees charged by this office regardless of your insurance coverage.
Questions?
If you have any questions regarding your account or billing, please call us at 423-745-5212. A simple conversation can often clear up any misunderstandings.
Flexible Financing
We believe financial hurdles should never stand in the way of your health. We offer two convenient third-party financing options that allow you to pay over time:
- CareCredit: Ideal for monthly payments with flexible terms. Apply for CareCredit here.
- Cherry: A modern way to pay with high approval rates and no hard credit check to apply.
Standard Payment Methods
Credit Cards: Visa, MasterCard, and Discover
Patient Billing
We will send you a monthly statement. Most insurance companies will respond within four to six weeks. Please call our office if your statement does not reflect your insurance payment within that time frame. Any remaining balance after your insurance has paid is your responsibility. Your prompt remittance is appreciated.
