Chattanooga dentist Joel Davis is moving his East Brainerd True Dental office less than a mile geographically, but he says the figurative scale of the move is quite another matter.

“It’s going to be an amazing transition,” he says, “given the accommodations, the ability we’ll have to have multiple providers working together and the patient experience we’ll provide.

“We’re about 1,800 square feet now, and we’re going to 5,000,” he says. “Access to the building will be better. Parking will be better and traffic will be easier to manage.”

Davis says he’s been practicing at 7003 Shallowford Road since 2015, but he anticipates being in a brand-new, “multi-million dollar” building at 7344 Gunbarrel Road, next to Drake’s restaurant, by year’s end.
