Dr. Joseph P. Payne, DDS

Experiencia fantástica: Enjoyed my 6 month cleaning.

Experiencia fantástica: I have nothing but praise for Joe Payne and his incredible team. The staff is attentive, professional, and truly dedicated to making every experience great. It’s clear that the entire crew works seamlessly together, and Dr. Payne’s expertise always puts me at ease. I’m very thankful for their outstanding care!

Experiencia fantástica: Can’t say enough good about these folks. On time, technicians are great and staff are super helpful. I am blessed to have Dr Payne and his team care for me.

Experiencia fantástica: The staff is wonderful, the hygienist are thorough and the Dentist is knowledgeable and does wonderful work

Experiencia fantástica: Great hygienist and dentist too! Thanks for your attention to detail!

Experiencia fantástica: I am a new client. Everyone was so nice and friendly. The staff at the front desk was great. Cotton was my dental hygienist. She did a terrific job. And she answered many questions this old man asked about dental cleaning. Cotton is very personable and professional. It was a very educational experience for me. Dr Payne is terrific and has done a wonderful job hiring people to make his business a very comfortable place to be in. This first visit was a very enjoyable experience for me.

Experiencia fantástica: The best dentist office in every way! I am more than a bit afraid of a dentist visit but I always leave smiling. Everyone is so kind. My brother-in-law said after his first visit to Dr Payne’s office that it was by far the best dental experience of his life. Highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr Payne and his team fit me in on an emergency when I broke my tooth. I was expecting an extraction but said he worked to save my tooth. Thank you, Dr. Payne!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Payne has been my dentist for well over 15 years. He is very capable and thorough, and his staff are very friendly and responsive.

Experiencia fantástica: I am very comfortable with Dr Payne and his entire staff. Angela put me at complete ease while cleaning and examining my teeth. And she advised me on a couple of things I can do to improve my dental hygiene.

Experiencia fantástica: I am a first time patient who recently moved to Chattanooga. I will say that this clinic is by far the best dental experience I have ever had. Very warming and caring staff!! I would recommend this location to ANYONE looking for dental work!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr Payne and his staff are amazing!!! I had a dental emergency and was able to get in same day and they fixed it in one visit. Thank you.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Payne and his team are wonderful. So helpful and friendly. He is consultative when developing a plan for your oral care but not pushy driving towards expensive prosthetics unless requested. It is also refreshing to not have to wait extended periods of time for your appointment. Highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: First visit with an aching tooth. They were more than accommodating to get me in asap. Staff was super nice and knowledgeable. Dr. Payne was informative and took care of me really well. Now I’ve made it one year with regular visits with a new implant that Dr. Payne did himself. Most implants get delayed for 6 months or so due to changing doctors for an oral specialist. Super friendly staff to add to the pleasant experience.

Experiencia fantástica: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I recently had a dental cleaning appointment that left me thoroughly impressed! From the moment I walked into the office, I was greeted with warm smiles and outstanding service. The front desk staff was friendly and efficient, making the check-in process a breeze. During my cleaning, the dental hygienist was not only professional but also took the time to explain everything she was doing. She noticed some discoloration on one of my teeth and provided valuable advice on potential solutions. I appreciated her thoroughness and the personalized attention—she really made me feel at ease throughout the process. The dentist was equally wonderful, taking the time to discuss my concerns regarding the discoloration. Together, we explored options for correcting it, and I’m excited to return for the treatment soon. It’s clear that the entire team is genuinely invested in their patients' well-being. Overall, my experience at the practice was exceptional. I’m looking forward to returning for my follow-up appointment and getting that tooth issue resolved. Highly recommend this team to anyone seeking a caring and professional dental office! --- Michael

Experiencia fantástica: Very professional, courteous and kind group of staff at the dental office of Joseph P Payne, DDS! Not only do they do first class dental work, the staff is very detailed, knowledgeable and they take time to explain everything, which I really appreciate. Scheduling is easy and they communicate quite well. I highly recommend this group as I’ve been going there for about 6yrs for different things and it’s been perfect.

Experiencia fantástica: Everything went smooth as usual. Great people here. So great that you've started sending text with future appointments helps a lot when it's right in front of me. On my phone when I make an entry on my calendar.

Experiencia fantástica: I just want to say thank you for your professionalism and your kindness today. I know 'I'm a complicated patient and I appreciated all ya'll did for me. The people that work in this office are the best

Experiencia fantástica: I had an acute problem, they worked me in within a day and spent time making sure I was taken care of. They were kind, and professional.

Experiencia fantástica: I have been going to Dr. Joe since he started. I went overseas twice, STILL saw Dr. Joe when I flew home, and now live in a different state. I STILL go see Doc for all my dental needs. I went yesterday. 6 hour drive. The reason? He is honest. I had random dentists in different states/countries tell me things. Dr. Joe looked at the x-rays/pictures, and said, “I could not, in good conscience, do most of this. It is not necessary. Sure, I would love the money, but I am not going to drill on you unnecessarily. Some of these could be 10 years away from being a cavity, IF they ever turn into a cavity”. He is friendly, professional, honest. And….he took a risk going to dental school, with the last name Payne. Haha. All the dental hygienists are really great, comforting, and personable, as well. Don’t let the title, ‘Doctor Payne’ scare you. A more fitting last name, would have been ‘Awesome’…..Doctor Awesome!

Experiencia fantástica: Joe Payne and the crew do a wonderful job, and make dental work as comfortable as possible. I have really been impressed with the office keeping up with new technology. Cotton did a wonderful job cleaning my teeth. Cotton and Joe did a great job again. Joann’s kind of cool, too.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Payne, Angie and the rest of the team are amazing—professional, friendly, and caring. They make every visit comfortable and stress-free. Highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Best dentist office I've ever seen. Professionaly run, wait time is minimal, they know your time is valuable too. The staff are sure to take care of you.

Experiencia fantástica: Fabulous customer service! My mother has never liked going to the dentist. She’s amazed by you & your whole team. She told me she never thought she could feel good about going to the dentist until now. WAY TO GO & THANK YOU!

Experiencia fantástica: Office staff are always so nice . That make me feel okay , not a big fan of going but they help by being very nice

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone was great! Cotton the hygienist did a wonderful job and Dr. Payne and his staff were very caring and helpful. I’m a new patient and I’m so glad my friend recommended him. Just had my second visit and Margaret did a great cleaning. They are a great office! Everyone is so kind and extremely good at their job

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone so nice. Glad ya’ll take my dental insurance. Anna did a great job on my teeth very thorough job and they feel so clean. Glad no cavities Thank you!! I will be back.

Experiencia fantástica: I was looking for a private dental practice with an experienced doctor but also all the best modern tech and a great hygienist staff. Score.

Experiencia fantástica: Such a personable knowledgeable and kind practice. Not only do they do great work they have very efficient high tech equipment. No gagging when you get impressions they do it all with a machine in seconds.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr Payne and his staff are just wonderful! I have been a patient for many many years. He does not want you to be uncomfortable during any dental work and will ask how are you. Cotton does a great job cleaning my teeth!

Experiencia fantástica: Thank you so much Dr.Payne, my implants were so quick and painless. You and your staff are amazing!!!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Needed a bump taken off my inner lip - figured 2 weeks out. Dr. Payne was able to get me in for a 4pm appt. I had a 5pm meeting and told the nurse and she said he'd told her it would only take 15 minutes. I figured ok, why not and took the appt. I got there a little less than 15 minutes early in case and was back in the seat at 3:50pm. Numbing swab, numbing shot, laser work and done. I was leaving the office at 4:03pm. Unbelievable. I wish everyone worked that way! Sore is healing up great just 24 hours later. Absolutely no complaints and huge kudos!!!

Experiencia fantástica: They were so warm and friendly! It was genuine and they REALLY care about their patients. Made my experience very pleasant. Looking forward to returning, which says a lot because no one enjoys going to the dentist!

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve been going to Dr Payne for around 10 years and have always had a great experience. The front desk staff and dental hygienists (especially Cotton) have always been very friendly, professional, and efficient and Dr Payne takes the time to clearly explain any needed procedures and is similarly friendly, professional, and efficient. The office is modern and comfortable with great views which honestly makes a real difference in the experience. If you are looking for a skilled and trustworthy dental practice I highly recommend Dr. Payne.

Experiencia fantástica: Angela is amazing! She did a wonderful job on my teeth, but more than that, she was so gentle and kind. I had been having a very hard day, and she lifted my spirits with her kindness and words of wisdom. She was very patient with me, as I was pretty slow moving due to being in pain. She was patient in every way possible. If there were more Angela’s in this world, what a much better world we would live in! I can’t recommend her enough! Thank you Angela!! ❤️

Experiencia fantástica: Dr Payne, Krista, JoAnn and Cotton were amazing! Scheduling is easy, office is super nice and clean, and very good energy as soon as ya walk in, but Cotton the Hygenist absolutely made my day! She was so thorough and such a joy! Making a dentist visit waaaay better than ya would think!

Experiencia fantástica: Extremely pleased with Dr Payne & staff, All the them are amazing, great office dynamics, excellent Care.

He is the best dentist I had in 60 yrs !

Experiencia fantástica: A most wonderful experience from the moment I arrived in the office, being greeted by a professional and courteous staff, my hygienist was very thorough and polite and the initial visit with Dr. Payne was quite pleasant. All questions answered and given explanations for any necessary future visits.

Didn't hurt at all. 3 hours after with no pain killer, I still don't feel any 'Payne'. Had to throw that in there lol. Tools were clean and the procedure was done professionally. He will now be my family dentist. *Update* - Had my routine checkup and cleaning done today and my experience has not changed. Amazing staff that shows great professionalism and care for their patients.

Experiencia fantástica: My college daughter woke up with her crown that had come off. Dr Payne’s assistant Bryce was very helpful in getting her in quickly the following day. Dr. Payne did a great job in putting her crown back on and restoring her beautiful smile quickly! So grateful as my daughter is from California. Dr. Payne and his office took good care of her and relieved a major stressor. Thank you so much!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Looking for a great dentist and terrific staff ? Dr Payne is the one for you. Great service, friendly staff, and always happy to come here for all my dental needs and cleanings

Experiencia fantástica: Greeted with smiles and laughter which made it feel like home. The Dental Hygienist, also greated me with a cheerful smile, inquired about my dental health and dental experience. Very professional, knowledgeable and did a great job in cleaning my teeth! Dr. Payne came in reviewed her work, made no adjustments however, was made aware of a chewing issue I had ,,, took time to review the issue in my mouth and corrected it immediately! I couldn’t be any happier and have found a new place to call hime relative to my dental needs!

Experiencia fantástica: Best experience I’ve had at a dentist ever. Had an old crown (done by a different dentist) come off. Dr. Payne was able to reset it without any issues. Doctor and entire staff was very pleasant, personable, professional and efficient. Would highly recommend Dr. Payne and staff if you are looking for a great dentist.

Experiencia fantástica: I cannot express how much gratitude I have for this man. I was having a dental emergency the day before thanksgiving and I was NOT one of his patients. He saw me anyway and did an emergency root canal and I was an absolute wreck hysterical crying coming in there from another orthodontist appt (they didn’t know what in the world was wrong)and this Dr. did the necessary process of elimination and after a CT SCAN the results were unfortunately a dying nerve but he calmly did what was necessary despite me coming unglued from terror. I feel like a brand new person and was able to eat thanksgiving dinner and everything and I was so relieved to not be in excruciating pain any longer. THANK YOU SO MUCH DR. PAYNE AND STAFF FOR YOUR KINDNESS AND WILLINGNESS TO HELP AT THE MOST INOPPORTUNE TIME OF THE YEAR! GOD BLESS YOU ALL!

Experiencia fantástica: I have gone to Dr Payne's office for 11 years. He is friendly, fair, and not pushy. He has kept up with the latest developments in dental care, and has the best and most innovative equipment. They can diagnose, prep, and build porcelain crowns right in the office in about 2 hours.....no more making two visits separated by two weeks of wearing a temporary crown! The hygienists are gentle, thorough, and knowledgeable, so can watch for potential problems and alert Dr Payne when necessary. ****Add two more years to my time with Dr. Payne!! He caught a tooth last year that needed to be crowned because it had cracks top to bottom. Was quickly fixed and I have another saved tooth! Thank you Dr Payne! Add another year! I had a stroke May 16th this year! The hygienist was new to me....she was very kind and helpful with making me comfortable and with placement of my affected arm. My cleaning went well and she patiently kept reminding me to "open a little wider" because my brain couldn't not remember to keep my mouth open for her. I appreciated her so much!

Experiencia fantástica: My family and I have been going to Dr. Payne’s office for over 20 years. Dr. Payne is an excellent dentist who always goes the extra mile for his patients. He and his friendly staff are exceptional! They deserve a 5 plus star rating!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr Joe Payne is the best dentist ever. I called with a broken tooth. They saw me quickly. I was in and out of the office with a beautiful, well-fitting crown in just 2 hours, no leaving with a temporary crown and coming back in weeks to get the permanent crown. The staff is competent and courteous. And, I was able to eat lunch just a short while later!

Experiencia fantástica: Great office! Angela cleans my teeth and always does a fantastic job! She is sweet and funny and gentle-highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Payne, the front office staff, and the hygienists are all so professional and wonderfully caring. I came from NC 14 years ago and have been treated with the genuine concern and respect for a new patient (and the warmth for an old friend). I am happy to recommend the “Payne Team” to any and all!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr Payne is a wonderful dentist! Very kind and thorough! His office staff is great! The ladies in the front office are very personable and welcoming!

Experiencia fantástica: The staff in Dr Payne's office is helpful and efficient. My hygienist, Cotton, is caring and does a fantastic job cleaning my teeth. Dr Payne is very efficient and has helped keep my teeth healthy.

Experiencia negativa: Today was the first day my 17 year old seen an adult dentist since seeing her pediatric dentist. This was the worst experience for her and me. She was on the verge of tears when she came out which is highly unlike her. She said no one was friendly, they did not tell her what was going on and what should have been at the most an hour long appointment ended up being two hours. She said they were very rough and uncaring. I heard the receptionists talking after speaking with a customer, I’m assuming they were asking about a bill, and I heard one of them say, “Get better insurance!” Maybe that is the only insurance they offer at their job. No need in patients having to sit in the waiting area listening to them talk like that. Very unprofessional. If you are going to be in that business you must know you will see all different kinds of people. If you can’t be nice and welcoming to EVERYONE, you are doing it wrong. Needless to say we will not be back. I will be looking for her a new dentist. Anyone with children knows they would not appreciate their children being treated like this. Do not recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: When the Lord knows that you deserve it He sends an angel to cross your path.there’s one in dr Payne’s office.And her name is Cotton.She will give you the best cleaning of your life.you will feel better,look better and can taste good better.And dr Payne is an outstanding dentist make an appointment and experience it for yourself!!!

Experiencia fantástica: My husband and I are so happy with our new dentist and his staff! Dr. Payne, et al are an example of excellence that other medical groups would be wise to follow. The real beauty is that their work ethic and demeanor seems thoroughly authentic.

Experiencia fantástica: If it’s truly possible to ever love going to the dentist, this is the one I love. Dr. Payne has the detail of an artist with the efficiency of a nascar pit crew. Joanna and front office staff are icing on the cake!

Experiencia fantástica: Office personnel very knowledgable and friendly. Hygienist smooth with her tools. No pain. Dr. Payne was pain free!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr Payne is very gentle with my extractions.. I couldn't feel nothing !! The staff is professional,friendly make you feel like family I recommend him to anyone who's "afraid " of densities DR PAYNE YOU ARE THE BEST OF THE BEST Thank you guys on the experience ❤️

Experiencia fantástica: The staff at Dr. Payne’s office are super friendly and Dr. Payne is too. I am always pleased with his work. You should check him out as your dentist.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Payne. Was a very nice Dentist Doctor. I was very countable with his assistant, although I was a little scared about what procedures they have to do to help me to better take care of my teeth. I thank God for caring doctors and assistants. I am looking forward for my next visit but I am still scared, but they made me fill very confident on getting the help I need for healthier teeth. I am off to a great start. Thank you Dr. Payne and assistant.

Experiencia fantástica: My experience here was AWESOME! I have EXTREME anxiety when it comes to the dentist and Cotton (my hygienist) was so nice and funny. She made me feel so comfortable and relaxed, even though my mouth was in bad shape from years of not going to the dentist due to fear. I’m so happy I found a dental team that puts patient comfort and care first!

Experiencia fantástica: My son saw Dr Payne this morning. He was delighted with his visit and said 5 stars all the way. He had a tooth extracted. We were there for 34 minutes from the time we parked until we drove away! We will def make Dr Payne our primary dentist

Experiencia fantástica: All staff are very friendly and welcoming. As much as I have tried to avoid going to the dentist in the past, I look forward to & enjoy my visits with the Joseph P. Payne DDS office. Best atmosphere in the Chattanooga area.

Experiencia fantástica: I visited Gabby for my dental appointment and not only was she sweet and very friendly, she was thorough with her dental cleaning. She explained everything she was going to do and was very gentle with me. Dr. Payne is also incredible and a wonderful dentist. Love going there!

Experiencia fantástica: If I could give Dr. Joseph P. Payne & his staff 100 stars I would! They are Friendly & Confident. My experience with them has been amazing!! #DentalHygienistCotton
