While the “main players” in the smile are important, we recognize the importance of the “supporting cast” in the back of the mouth. Many of our clients are interested in upgrading old dental crowns or metal fillings in order to improve both the cosmetics and health of their smile.
Large restorations which involve the structure of the tooth will be custom-made by the cosmetic dentists at the Nashville Center for Aesthetic Dentistry with attention to detail and regard to both function and aesthetics. A two-step process for dental crowns and onlays begins with preparation of the tooth, including removal of any old restoration and hidden decay underneath. Temporary dental crowns or onlay restorations are placed as an interim while the porcelain crowns or onlays are being designed. The second visit, a few weeks later, involves bonding the porcelain crowns or onlay restorations in place and fine-tuning the bite. The final result is something that looks and feels like your natural tooth.
We have invested in advanced technology and computerized equipment which allow us to design and mill your restorations here in our office. In some cases, that means we can make your dental crowns or onlays in just one visit. Other times, we might place a temporary restoration and have you return after your new restoration has been designed. We are always looking for ways to provide the best possible results for you, and the CEREC technology provides you with both quality and convenience.
