Dr Patterson and his staff do a wonderful job of making their patients feel at ease. They have the latest technology to provide them with the best information possible to protect your teeth. Daisy, my hygienist, is very nice and does a thorough job. I call her “painless “ because cleaning my teeth did not make me feel uncomfortable at all. I recommend Dr Patterson and his staff to everyone.

Had my first appointment today, and I usually hate going to the dentist, but today’s experience was incredible! Super kind service from everyone and my dental hygienist, Allison, made it such a comfortable and casual experience with conversation and making sure I was good throughout the cleaning. Looking forward to this being my new local dentist!

This was my first visit as a new patient. The staff was friendly, welcoming and efficient. Southside Dental had me fill out all my information electronically prior to the visit, which helped things go smoothly. Maggie the dental assistant and Dr. Patterson made me feel comfortable, by explaining things every step of the way (x-rays and exam). I felt listened to and respected. I’m so glad I chose Southside Dental!
Today was my second visit with Dr Patterson, for my regular cleaning and a set of X-rays. It’s always cheering when your teeth and overall general dental health is pronounced “excellent”, but regardless of that, the professional and friendly hygienist made my day; Dr Patterson also was friendly, thorough and professional as he conducted my exam. I know I am in good hands at Southside Dental!

These folks are a great bunch of kind dental professionals. I have been a a patient since I moved to Chattanooga years ago. They’re always able to adjust my appointments to my crazy schedule. The front office staff is first rate. The hygienist are very thorough and do a good job of making you feel comfortable. If you’re looking for a dentist, don’t hesitate to make an appointment.

About Southside Dental
Southside Dental is a general dentistry practice located on Broad Street in the Southside neighborhood of Chattanooga, Tennessee, offering dental implant solutions including All-on-4 and full-arch treatment for patients who need to replace some or all of their teeth. The practice describes itself as a neighborhood dental office and emphasizes getting to know each patient personally rather than treating implant care as a one-size-fits-all procedure. Alongside implant dentistry, the team provides preventative, restorative, and cosmetic services, so patients exploring implants can also have general dental needs addressed at the same location.
The practice is led by Dr. Michael Patterson, DDS, an experienced general dentist trained in general, cosmetic, and implant dentistry who is committed to staying current with modern dental treatments and to making visits feel comfortable rather than clinical. For patients considering All-on-4 or full-arch implants, this can mean working with a familiar, established local office rather than a large multi-location chain. Anyone considering implants at Southside Dental should call the office directly to confirm which specific implant procedures are performed in-house versus referred out, and to ask about the dentist's specific training in implant placement.
