Fogo James M DDS

Dentistry isn’t always the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Brainerd Road, but the quiet need for it is steady. Fogo James M DDS sits just off the main stretch, where the older strip malls give way to a mix of auto shops and small medical offices. The address—4933 Brainerd Rd, Chattanooga, TN 37411—places it in a part of town where people know their neighbors and expect the same faces year after year.

General dentistry covers more ground than most realize. They handle routine cleanings, fillings, and exams, but also address urgent issues like extractions or crowns when a tooth demands immediate attention. Preventive care is part of the rhythm here, with fluoride treatments and sealants offered for younger patients. X-rays and basic oral surgery round out the list, making it a place where most dental needs can be met without a referral.

If you’re calling to schedule, the number is (423) 899-1948. The office tends to book a few weeks out for new patients, so it’s worth checking availability before assuming a same-day slot. The staff answers during business hours, though the exact times aren’t posted online—best to call rather than drop in unannounced.

For directions, the map at this link will get you there. If you’re coming from the interstate, it’s a straight shot down Brainerd Road, past the car dealerships and the old Waffle House. Most people find it without trouble, even if they’ve never been before.
