Which Tooth Whitener Works Best in Brentwood?

September 2nd, 2010

Dazzling White Teeth in Brentwood What is the best professional tooth whitening system to use in Brentwood?

There are two types of cosmetic dentist-supervised tooth whitening systems available in Brentwood. In order to determine the best choice for your teeth, schedule, and budget, you need to understand the differences in the systems.

Both systems use a bleaching agent containing peroxide. Brentwood cosmetic dentists who offer professional in-office tooth bleaching use a whitening gel with a high concentration of peroxide. Some in-office tooth whitening systems use a light that causes the tooth bleaching agent to work faster. There are different types of lights including halogen, plasma arc, metal halide and laser; but they all work the same way. When the light is shined at teeth on which the whitening gel is applied, it causes the peroxide to break down into free radicals, which are active oxygen molecules. This process naturally occurs without the light, but the light makes it happen faster. That is why you can get whiter teeth in just one hour.

Most Brentwood cosmetic dentists also offer take home tooth whitening systems. Although these procedures take a bit longer to work, they achieve the same dramatic results. For many Brentwood, Knoxville and Tennessee clients, this is the most affordable teeth whitening system.

At Nashville Center for Aesthetic Dentistry, we offer safe and effective teeth bleaching. Our Brentwood cosmetic dentistry patients can’t believe how great their teeth look when they remove the stains and restore the brightness. If you would like to learn why our system is superior, schedule a consultation by calling our office at (615) 866-5151.

Aesthetic Dental Transformations in Tennessee

August 25th, 2010

Aesthetic Dental Transformations in Brentwood Many Tennessee professionals, students and retirees are enjoying the lasting benefits of cosmetic dentistry. A beautiful smile not only looks great, it makes you feel great! When you first look in the mirror in the morning while brushing those gleaming babies, you remember; oh yeah, I fixed my teeth and they look fantastic!

When you smile at old friends or make new ones, you are happy to show off your new movie-star grin. When you are in a professional setting speaking with colleagues or clients, you feel poised and super confident.

We have talked about different cosmetic and restorative dental procedures available in Nashville in previous blog articles, but let’s review the most common.

Veneers are glass-like, wafer-thin covers that adhere to teeth. Porcelain veneers are strong and have the translucency of natural teeth. They correct chips, stains and misaligned teeth that do not require orthodontia. There are several companies that fabricate veneers.

Porcelain crowns correct more extensive tooth problems. They are used in a variety of situations such as the final restoration following a root canal or to restore teeth damaged by decay, injury or periodontal disease.

Dental implants are one of the best fixes for a missing tooth. They are becoming a popular and effective alternative to bridges and partial dentures in Tennessee, Oak Hill and surrounding areas, especially among middle-aged professionals and people in the public eye.

Bridges are another strong, natural looking replacement for one or more missing teeth. They have been used with success for many years.

Professional tooth whitening in your dentist’s office is the least invasive and quickest way to brighten your smile several shades.

If you are interested in any of these safe and effective procedures, schedule a consultation at the Nashville Center for Aesthetic Dentistry today. Even if you are still a bit hesitant, remember: discussing your options with a cosmetic dentist does not require a commitment of any kind. It is merely a relaxed way to get the most reliable information.

We are waiting for your call. Nashville Center for Aesthetic Dentistry can be reached at (615) 866-5151.

Porcelain Veneers

August 18th, 2010

Porcelain Veneers With porcelain veneers, you can revamp your smile without significant restorative dental work.

Porcelain veneers are glass-like, wafer-thin covers that are attached to the front of your teeth. Porcelain has been used in dentistry for many years because no other restorative material is such an excellent match for natural tooth enamel. Porcelain is translucent and can be matched to the color of any tooth. It is stronger than enamel and resists stains. Dental ceramists who fabricate porcelain veneers are both artists and technicians. They create beautiful paper-thin wafers that adhere to teeth, correcting chips and stains. Porcelain veneers can also straighten crooked teeth for patients who don’t need orthodontic work.

Patients who receive porcelain veneers appreciate the less-invasive process of enhancing their smile. Newer techniques require no removal of healthy tooth enamel.

We would be happy to show you what veneers can do for your smile.

Nashville Center for Aesthetic Dentistry is located at 105 Powell Court, Suite 101, Brentwood, TN. We provide skilled dental care for patients in the greater Nashville area. Our phone number is (615) 866-5151. You can visit http://www.drdenniswells.com/Meet-Our-Team.php for information about our practice and our experienced and professional team.

Smile – sunshine is good for your teeth!

Tooth Decay in Brentwood?

August 4th, 2010

Nashville Teeth Whitening At Nashville Center for Aesthetic Dentistry, we restore decayed teeth to create smiles that are both healthy and beautiful. Recent advances in both techniques and materials have made the ‘impossible’ not only possible, but affordable for everyone in Brentwood as well.

Doctor Dennis Wells has been restoring teeth since 1983. Ongoing training is essential for staying on the cutting edge of the cosmetic dentistry industry.

Decay is the most common Brentwood dental problem and the second most common disease in the nation (number one is the common cold). If you have one or more teeth with decay, it’s time to take care of them.

Fillings, inlays, onlays and dental crowns are used to restore teeth for our Nashville cosmetic dental patients. Even the most basic procedure – filling a cavity – has evolved. There are several types of new materials available including porcelain and composite resin. Each has specific strengths and aesthetic considerations. Brentwood patients who replace silver amalgam with tooth-colored fillings love getting the metal out of their smile.

Inlays and onlays are more extensive restorations. There are two types: direct or indirect. Direct inlays and onlays are made in your Tennessee cosmetic dental office on the spot and applied in one visit. Indirect inlays and onlays are fabricated in a Tennessee dental lab. They usually require a second visit but the results are well worth the extra trip.

When a Nashville client has a tooth that cannot be restored with an inlay or an onlay, a natural-looking dental crown is the answer. At Nashville Center for Aesthetic Dentistry, we create dental crowns that blend in perfectly with the rest of your teeth. Let us show you some photos of patients who have received smile makeovers – you will not see any “Chiclet” crowns that stick out like a sore thumb. In fact, you won’t be able to tell which of our Brentwood dental clients have dental crowns.

Nashville Center for Aesthetic Dentistry is located at 105 Powell Court, Suite 101, Brentwood, TN in Brentwood. Doctor Dennis Wells is currently accepting new patients. Call (615) 866-5151 to schedule an aesthetic dental consultation

Do You Love Your Tennessee Smile?

July 14th, 2010

Nashville Cosmetic Dentistry The Tennessee people who are most happy with their smiles have healthy, straight teeth that sparkle when they laugh. If nature didn’t bless you with attractive teeth, you are not alone. Most perfect smiles you come across in Tennessee were not always that way. They are the result of cosmetic dentistry performed by an experienced Nashville cosmetic dentist.

At Nashville Center for Aesthetic Dentistry in Brentwood, Dennis Wells DDS provides the state-of-the-art procedures that deliver dazzling, flawless teeth for our cosmetic dentistry clients. We treat patients from 30 to 50. You are never too young or too old to improve your smile; but it will definitely make you feel younger!

Two common smile-killers are yellow enamel and chipped teeth.

Discolored Teeth

Few Brentwood people have pearly white smiles that stay that way forever. Even with consistent brushing, flossing and regular dental cleanings, our teeth darken as we age. Fortunately, the most affordable Tennessee cosmetic dentistry procedure is tooth whitening. Picture yourself with a celebrity-caliber smile. It is possible with safe and affordable teeth whitening at Nashville Center for Aesthetic Dentistry.

Damaged Teeth

Our teeth work hard for us day after day, year after year. Sometimes they get chipped or cracked in the process. If you would like to fix your tooth flaws, schedule a consultation by calling Nashville Center for Aesthetic Dentistry at (615) 866-5151. We use porcelain veneers every day to remedy tooth trauma. Cosmetic bonding has been used with fabulous results for many years and bonding is usually a fraction of the price of a crown.

Ask Doctor Wells which of our Nashville cosmetic dentistry procedures can be completed in one appointment. How about a same-day smile makeover?

If you have never been eager to show your teeth when you smile or laugh, now is the time to change that. Call Nashville Center for Aesthetic Dentistry today at (615) 866-5151 to schedule a smile design consultation.

Brentwood Cosmetic Dentistry Options

July 7th, 2010

Cosmetic Dentistry Options Have you thought about upgrading your smile? Cosmetic dentistry offers many exciting possibilities.

The quickest and least invasive procedure is light teeth whitening. The results are dramatic and teeth whitening side effects are minimal.

If your teeth are slightly crooked, but require no orthodontic work, porcelain veneers could be the answer. Porcelain teeth veneers are translucent, wafer-thin covers that are permanently attached to the front of teeth, correcting chips and stains. Prepless veneers do not require the removal of tooth structure.

If your teeth are more than slightly crooked, it’s not too late for braces. Patients of all ages are undergoing orthodontic treatment and achieving fantastic results. The newest braces are less noticeable, more comfortable and bring teeth into alignment much faster than old-school metal braces.

Has gum recession caused the metal base of an old crown to be visible? Soft tissue grafts and crown replacement can correct this problem.

Are you missing one or more teeth? One of the best tooth replacement options is a dental implant. A dental implant consists of a titanium post surgically inserted into the jaw bone to replace the root of the missing tooth. The post integrates with the bone to provide a stable foundation for the replacement tooth.

Can you envision yourself with a dental makeover?
Call Nashville Center for Aesthetic Dentistry at (615) 866-5151 to discuss your cosmetic dentistry options.

Choosing A Dentist In Brentwood

June 23rd, 2010

Choosing A Dentist In Brentwood The American Dental Association offers some welcome advice for choosing a dentist in Brentwood. We have already talked about how word of mouth is an important factor in how many people find a dentist. Here are some things you should look for in an Brentwood dentist:

Location is always a factor when choosing a dentist in Brentwood. If you live in the Brentwood Tennessee area, there are many options, and most Brentwood locations are not too far out of the way. While location plays an important role in convenience, many people are willing to drive a little farther for a better experience with their Brentwood dentist.

Relationship is a strong factor. Your Brentwood dentist should be approachable, and should make you feel comfortable when you are in the dentist chair. After all, your Brentwood dentist will be working very close with you to help you achieve a high level of oral hygiene; you most certainly will want to have a good, professional, comfortable relationship with your Brentwood dentist and the dental office staff.

Specialty is another important factor in choosing a dentist in Brentwood. Some dentists specialize in cosmetic dentistry. Others specialize in corrective dentistry such as braces. Depending on your need, you may select a local Brentwood dentist who can solve your immediate concern. Bare in mind, however, that it is good to have a general dentist who can maintain your dental history and work with you to through the years.

If you are looking for a dentist in Brentwood, please come by and speak with me. I can address your interest in any of these critical areas, and will be happy to introduce you to Nashville Center for Aesthetic Dentistry.

I look forward to meeting you.

-Dennis Wells, DDS
