North Shore, Chattanooga
Plumline is family-owned and independent. No corporate quotas, no rotating dentists, and the same faces at the front desk year after year.
Our building on Surveyor’s Row was a land surveyor’s office for sixty years. When Dr. Brandvold bought it, the brass plumb bob was still hanging by the door.
A plumb line is how builders find true vertical: no guessing, no shortcuts. That’s the kind of dentistry we try to practice. We tell you what we see, show you the photos, give you the price in writing and recommend the least treatment that will do the job.
The plumb bob still hangs by the front desk. Ask Bev about it; she has stories.
DMD, founder
Celia grew up in Red Bank and opened Plumline in 2009 with two chairs and one hygienist. She still sees patients four days a week and still calls every new patient the evening after their first visit. Outside the office she coaches her daughter’s soccer team, badly by her own account.
DDS, implants & clear aligners
Jonah joined Plumline in 2018 after four years in a busy Nashville practice. He places and restores implants here, so patients don’t get bounced between specialists. He’s known for explaining X-rays with a whiteboard and for running on time.
Our team has been together a long time. The average hygienist here has stayed eleven years.
Patient coordinator
Imani checks your insurance before you arrive and books family visits back to back. If you have a billing question, she has the answer.
With us since 2016
Registered dental hygienist
Lauren is the reason anxious patients come back. She explains every step and goes as slowly as you like.
With us since 2012
Office manager
Bev has been here since day one. She remembers your grandkids’ names and how you take your coffee.
With us since 2009
Every visit starts sitting up, talking. You’ll see your X-rays and photos and know what we’re about to do before we do it.
You get a written estimate, including what insurance pays, before any treatment. The number on your bill matches it.
We recommend the smallest treatment that solves the problem. Sometimes that means watching a tooth for a year instead of filling it.
Four bright treatment rooms with ceiling TVs, noise-cancelling headphones and warm blankets if you ask.
New patients are seen within a week. Book online, or call and ask for a quick tour before your first visit.
