Your 5-Star Rated Orthodontist
- I had a wonderful experience with my braces at Scenic City’s Orthodontics! Dr. Prentice is very thorough, making sure his patients leave with a perfect smile! Everything is done in the best interest of the patient, new technology is used to make the experience as easy as possible, and all of the orthodontist assistants are extremely kind and welcoming!Sierra R.12/23/2019Dr. Prentice is the best Orthodontist with the best staff. He’s extremely informative regarding age appropriate treatment plans and next steps and does not recommend unnecessary procedures. My daughter feels he is trustworthy and loves his fun and friendly personality. She said he’s strict, but not too strict :-). Also, Vivianne, the Treatment Coordinator is an absolute gem. She has a reassuring, cheerful demeanor and makes sure you understand the process and is always sure to answer any questions.
In summary, Dr. Prentice is knowledgeable, professional and great with children. He is also fun and firm when it comes to dental health and habits. He takes into account the whole child, including social factors, when developing their treatment plan. We also appreciate the time and dedication Dr. Prentice and his staff put into giving back to our local schools and organizations that his patients are a part of.carla m.2/20/2020 - This place is so special and the customer service reminds you of Chick-fil-A.

Dr. Prentice & his team are the best! If you need to consult with an orthodontist in Chattanooga, look no further! He is tops in his field and is thorough as well as conservative. We were there again today straightening up a 'rogue' lower tooth! He truly cares about each person he treats, whether children or adults. His staff is always warm and welcoming, they are excellent at remembering all the details about my daughter. He is always doing fun, interactive things throughout his office and on various social medias. Go see these people, you will definitely be thanking me! Very cool place to get 'straightened out'!
Jennette C.2/01/2018 - Amazed once again! Dr. Prentice saves the day - once again! My daughter's permanent lower retainer broke, resulting in a shift in her teeth. We called & got in right away. He is so great with her, as is the entire staff! Thank you so much, Dr. T, for making the 'fix' as painless & quick as possible. I recommend Scenic City Ortho for all orthodontic needs - he offers a no charge consult too, so call today!Jennette Cox2/20/2018Best orthodontic office around!

I had the best experience getting Invisalign with SCO. Dr. Prentice and his team are true pros, scientists and engineers that treat you like their best friend. I'm amazed at all the work they did to make my smile perfect. They addressed all my questions and went above and beyond. Their technology, environment, communication and efforts are top notch! They all work well together, like a well-oiled machine. If various team members have to see you in a day, it's fluid, soft handoff to each team member, you don't have to wait. The right hand always knows what the left hand is doing. They work together in unison. They have handled tornado damage and pandemic like pros too, keeping in communication with patients for any needs. I'm impressed with Dr P, his team, their work, and my results. Thankful I chose them to give me the perfect smile.

Christina B.5/17/2021Five stars does not do justice I would give them a million stars thank you so much for helping my son today!!!!Amanda Pruett7/27/2018 - I was referred to SCO because their great pricing after shopping around town. They won my business from my first consultation being comfortable, informative and honestly just fun. It was relaxed but professional.
As my Invisalign process began I felt like the staff was using the newest technology and I always felt ‘in the know’ with the timeline once it got into full swing. Throughout my visits, I began to feel like a part of a big family which may seem strange for an Orthodontist but everyone there is sincerely nice and it goes a long way.
As the process concluded and when I’ve had follow ups, they’ve taken great care of me. I always know I’m getting a great deal. They do incredible work, go check Dr. Prentice and the team out! ???Ryan P.12/13/2019To say SCO is such a great place would be an understatement! Each staff member is extremely thorough from start to finish with every appointment. And did I mention friendly?! It feels like you’re being welcomed into one of your closest friend’s home with open arms as soon as you step foot through the front door. They have the best of the best in technology and equipment as well as experience and knowledge in their field. Extremely professional and such a fun place! I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to improve their smile.Chelsae H.1/17/2020 - Sitting in the waiting room and can’t believe we are at our final appointment. I’m so excited to see my son’s forever perfect smile. We have had the best experience at SCO! They have the sweetest, most upbeat staff, they are always on time and they know how to work with middle school boys. I’ve been so blown away that I think I’m jumping in next so I too can have a great smile.Kathryn V.2/12/2020As soon as you walk in you are greeted with a warm smile from the front desk!

You walk away knowing he thought of the best option for YOU! What will make your smile the biggest and brightest!
I had braces as a teenager but as I got older, I noticed my teeth had shifted and it was affecting my self confidence when I smiled, so I went to see Dr. Prentice and he corrected the teeth that shifted with Invisalign, the greatest thing ever!
