As 2026 begins, it’s the perfect time to focus on your health and well-being — including your dental health. At Vonore Dental, we believe everyone deserves a confident, healthy smile. Whether you want to correct cosmetic flaws, restore damaged teeth, or simply stay on top of your oral hygiene, now is the time to make a resolution you’ll be glad you kept: to achieve your best smile yet.
Here’s how we can help you start the year with a smile transformation you’ll love:
Routine dental checkups are the foundation of excellent oral health. We recommend scheduling exams and professional cleanings at least every six months. These visits allow us to catch early signs of decay or gum disease, remove buildup you can’t reach with a toothbrush, and keep your smile looking and feeling great all year long.
Small flaws like chips, gaps, or uneven teeth can have a big impact on your confidence. Fortunately, cosmetic solutions like porcelain veneers or dental bonding can dramatically enhance your smile. Veneers are thin shells that cover the front of your teeth, while bonding uses tooth-colored resin to reshape or repair imperfections. Both treatments give you natural-looking results.
If stained or yellowed teeth are holding your smile back, professional teeth whitening can make a noticeable difference. Unlike over-the-counter products, our in-office and take-home whitening treatments lift deep stains safely and effectively, helping you achieve a smile that sparkles in photos, at work, and everywhere in between.
Missing teeth don’t just affect your appearance. They also impact your ability to chew and speak comfortably. We offer custom tooth replacement options:
Let us help you choose the best option for your lifestyle and budget.
Cracked, worn, or decayed teeth can be painful and vulnerable to further damage. We use tooth-colored fillings for small cavities and strong, custom crowns to cover and protect more severely damaged teeth. Crowns can restore both the function and appearance of your natural tooth.
If you grind your teeth at night or participate in sports, a custom-made mouthguard can help prevent serious dental injuries or wear. These comfortable, dentist-designed guards offer far better protection than over-the-counter versions and are personalized to fit your bite.
If you or your partner struggles with loud snoring, morning fatigue, or interrupted sleep, undiagnosed sleep apnea may be to blame. We offer oral appliance therapy, a comfortable, non-invasive solution that helps keep your airway open at night so you can get restful sleep and protect your health.
There’s no better time than now to invest in yourself. Whether you’re due for a cleaning or ready for a full smile makeover, Vonore Dental is here to help you reach your goals with personalized, compassionate care.
Call us today at 423-520-6278 to schedule your consultation or appointment in Vonore, TN. Let’s work together to make 2026 the year of your best smile yet!
Great visit, especially for my first visit. Hannah, my Hygienist was amazing. Dr. Fugate was very kind, and welcoming. I enjoyed my visit!!
Great team
I recently moved to the area. My previous dentist in another town recommended Dr. Fugate. Even though his office is a 35-minute drive from where I now live, I wanted to follow up on the recommendation to see if we ‘clicked’. The dental hygienist was very friendly, very gentle yet thorough in her cleaning. She has a great personality and immediately puts you at ease. Dr. Fugate was very professional, answered any questions I had and was very thorough. The office is very welcoming, clean, friendly, and I’m happy to have found a new dentist in this area.
Doctor and staff always professional, friendly and efficient with up to date technology!
Staff is always pleasant and the work is great.
Professional Friendly staff, appointments are always on time. I don’t know anyone that actually enjoys getting their teeth cleaned. So far one of the best hygienist I’ve gone to over the years. Emily does a fantastic job. She’s had helpful suggestions in the past on keeping my teeth clean and white. I never feel uncomfortable, would highly recommend!
Very personable and excellent service
Annual check up with x-rays. Always so professional and positive experience. Highly recommend.
My visit to Vonore Dental was a very positive experience. Service was friendly, timely and professional. What more can you ask for? Thank you.

Been going here for years and always a good experience. Super friendly staff and everyone is professional and courteous! You may surprised to find out they are out of your network, but even for uninsured people the prices for their services are very reasonable. Highly reccomended if you need dental work in and around Monroe County
I hated the dentist before I went to Vonore Dental! The staff and Dr. Fugate are amazing, sweet, kind and professional! Dr. Fugate gave me my smile back and I will forever be grateful❤️!
I was treated exceptionally good. My mouth has completely healed and im able to eat all the foods I love. I highly recommend Dr Fugate to all my friends. Thank you.
Normal cleaning--all good 👍
Very professional, extremely friendly environment, not a great fan of going to dentist but never found one better than Doc Fugate and his hygienist Becky and receptionists (Kim and Tiffany) Great family atmosphere and culture.
Not only did I receive excellent care from experienced professionals but the entire staff was friendly. I felt like I knew these folks for a long time instead of just meeting them. I absolutely recommend Vonore Dental!

Crowns while you wait. Very professional. Great staff. Just had another visit to crown my new implant. Great digital impression and installation was pretty seamless. Another great visit for an oral hygiene appointment and X-rays. All good. Typical professional friendly competent service. Also followed up on the crowns of 2 new implants done in September. Great to have all my teeth problem free. Be back in February to replace 2 old old crowns (while I wait of course). Cannot do any better!! Typically good oral hygiene appointment with Emily. On time into the chair. Initial inspection and explained how I can do a better job of brushing. Measured my pockets and did a thorough cleaning. Friendly and professional as always. 5 star as always.
Laurie Myers here... Always a good visit! 😆Teeth cleaning went well! Sad news that I need an implant. Getting old sucks.😕 Laurie Myers New update...Hannah took good care of my Xrays & teeth cleaning! 😁No problems found that she could see. Dr.Fugate will have a look at the new Xrays & if need be come in to see him.😀 Laurie Myers New update…Hannah took great care of me & commented that I’m taking good care of my teeth.😁 I needed X-rays & sadly, Dr. Fugate found that I have two upper crowns, one very old & the other 12 years old, that have to be pulled, issues taken care of & crown replaced. Like I said before, getting older is sometimes not fun. But this find is necessary. We all need to take good care of our teeth!😬 New update! Hannah did my teeth cleaning yesterday & did an amazing service to my teeth! She always does! Dr. Fugate told me that I have another old, old crown that is starting to pull away from my gums & cracking/ flaking a bit in one section. Hannah showed me a photo of it & will have to get that taken care on in the near future.😞 I do enjoy my experience at Vonore Dental, as they are very good at what they do! Keeping my teeth & gums happy & healthy!😁

This was our first visit as a new customer, recently moved from NJ to TN. We’re so glad we found this dental office. Great facility and great people. Extremely clean and well maintained and comfortable office. The whole team seems to be advanced and using leading edge technology. Our new favorite dental provider.
Dental Assistant and Dr. very nice. After my appointment, I told my wife she should go there. Very nice office located on Hwy 411.
Best dentist I have ever been to. Every appointment has been wonderful. Dr Fugate is a true professional.
Great Dental practice. Dr Fugate is pretty innovative and has the latest dental machines that make it easy in repairing teeth. I no pain however diagnosed and issue (and showed me the problem) - fixed it right away with crown replacement in one sitting less than two hours, out the door! I would recommend Vonore Dental to anyone.
Vonore dental goes the extra mile.
Always professional and friendly atmosphere
I am terrified of the dentist due to bad experiences in the past. Everybody from walking in the door to walking out was wonderful, made me feel relaxed and listened to my concerns
Great people and we love our hygienist!!!!
Excellent staff and dentist!
