OUR SERVICES
Dental Hygiene
We offer the best of preventive dentistry in the Elizabethton, TN area. Our in-depth exams, high-quality patient education, and quality preventive products will help you keep your mouth healthy for life. Our sealants, fluoride varnishes, and nutritional counseling services are all designed with you in mind. For our patients we recommend a cleaning (or prophylaxis) at least once every 6 months.
Dental Fillings
Our composite fillings are strong, long-lasting, and natural looking. Old amalgam fillings, the ugly silver fillings of the past, can fail and need to be replaced after some time. Our tooth-colored composite fillings are more effective at protecting the cavity from further decay. We will even remove your old amalgam filling, if necessary, to better protect your tooth.
Crowns
​
Dental crowns and dental bridges are some of the most time-tested, reliable dental restorations we offer. Common problems, such as a tooth damaged by decay or injury, or a lost tooth, can be fixed using a crown or fixed bridge.
Dentures
​
Whether you need a full or a partial denture, our practice can give you the highest functioning dentures possible today. Full dentures replace all the teeth while partials replace only some missing teeth, using the remaining teeth for retention and support.
​
Emergency Dentistry
Are you in pain? At Appalachian Dentistry, we work hard to help our patients in whatever way we can. If you are in pain, we want to help eliminate your discomfort.
Teeth Whitening
Having a bright white smile can help you appear more confident and successful. Our professional teeth whitening treatments can help you get the smile you need to meet your personal and professional goals.

OUR TEAM
Dr. Carly Tipton
Dentist/Practice Owner
Dr. Carly Tipton is a native of Somerset, KY and she attended the UK College of Dentistry for her DMD. You may ask yourself, how did this Kentucky girl end up in East Tennessee? Well, during her second year of dental school, she met a first year dental student from Johnson City, Tennessee and in the midst of exams, practicals, and patients, he stole her heart. Now, after being married for several years, the mountains of east TN have won Dr. Carly over and she is happy to finally be calling this place home. She looks forward to meeting everyone and helping patients take an active role in their oral health. Her demeanor is very comforting to patients, making them feel relaxed in an otherwise stressful atmosphere. In her spare time, Dr. Carly enjoys kayaking, attending festivals, and spending time with her husband, Logan, and their two dogs, Tucker and Honey.
Logan Tipton
Office Manager/ Registered Dental Assistant
Logan was born and raised in Johnson City, TN and attended East Tennessee State University for his undergraduate degree in business. Like Dr. Carly, Logan expressed an interest in the dental field and he has been critical in the growth of Appalachian Family Dentistry. Logan works hard to keep the dental office running smoothly and his charismatic, genuine personality makes patients feel like long, lost best friends. In his spare time, Logan loves kayaking, hiking, fishing, and spending time with Dr. Carly and their two dogs, Tucker and Honey.
