Brighten Your Smile with Nashville Teeth Whitening

Thursday, September 15th, 2011

A teeth whitening in Nashville is one of the easiest ways to add an extra sparkle to your smile. Over several years of wear and tear, teeth are dulled and stained by the wide range of substances they are exposed to. Everything from coffee, tea, cola, smoking, red wine, and even food can discolor teeth. Although routine dental cleanings help remove surface stains, only a professional teeth whitening can reach the deeply embedded discolorations. At the Nashville Center for Aesthetic Dentistry, we offer both at-home and in-office teeth whitening systems for the convenience of our patients.

An at-home teeth whitening system generally takes 10 days to 2 weeks to lighten your teeth to the desired shade. Custom-fitted whitening trays are worn for a specified time with a special whitening formula that seeps down into the tooth enamel and bleaches out discolorations. To cater to your schedule and lifestyle, we let you choose between two different systems that allow you to whiten your teeth during the day or at night.

Our in-office teeth whitening system can whiten your teeth several shades in just one office visit! A whitening formula is spread over your teeth, and a special light activates the formula to whiten your teeth at an accelerated rate.

Although the media is flooded with do-it-yourself teeth whitening solutions, you can accidentally damage your tooth enamel without the guidance of a general or cosmetic dentist. A professional teeth whitening is the safest way to bring back the natural color of your teeth.

To learn more about teeth whitening options for a brighter smile, call our Nashville, Tennessee area cosmetic dental office to schedule an initial consultation with Dr. Dennis Wells.

Affordable Teeth Whitening?

Wednesday, September 8th, 2010

Affordable Nashville Tooth Whitening If you are like most web users, you have probably seen the multitude of ads for ‘free teeth whitening kits’.

Some show a ‘real Tennessee mom’ who discovered a ‘tooth whitening secret’. Others assure you that their system is the one that ‘Oak Hill dentists don’t want you to know about’. Many contain a link to a page that contains a convincing Knoxville tooth whitening testimonial. They bolster their legitimacy by aligning themselves with respected companies such as CNN, USA Today and Forbes.

Unfortunately, most of these are rip-offs and don’t come from trusted cosmetic dentistry offices. In a recent article, the Better Business Bureau explains the scam:

The countless Web sites for various teeth whitening products claim to offer a no-risk, money back guarantee, free trial of the product. To sign up, customers must provide a credit or debit card number to cover shipping. Complainants to BBB state that they are billed before their trial ends and continue to be billed after they have told the company they want to cancel.

Complainants also may find mystery charges for other companies and services that they didn’t realize they were signing up for with their ‘free’ trial.

The BBB has received complaints about the following company/product names:

  • Dazzle White
  • White Smile
  • Teeth Smile
  • Dazzle Smile
  • Ivory White
  • Max White
  • My Whitening
  • Gleaming White Smile
  • Advanced Wellness Research

Don’t trust your smile to an internet scammer. Your Nashville tooth whitening dental office is the only place for safe teeth bleaching. You don’t want to take a chance with your credit card number or your tooth enamel! Call us at Nashville Center for Aesthetic Dentistry for advanced cosmetic dental services and worry-free tooth whitening. You can reach us at (615) 866-5151

Which Tooth Whitener Works Best in Brentwood?

Thursday, 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.

Nashville Teeth Whitening and Veneers

Thursday, May 20th, 2010

Teeth whitening is a popular cosmetic dentistry procedure in Nashville and throughout Tennessee.

Numerous ads for whitening products in our local Brentwood media contain terms such as ‘white brite’, ’22 carbamide peroxide’ and ‘peroxide teeth’. They look tempting, but how do you separate tooth bleaching fact from fiction?

First, and especially for our local Nashville patients, we recommend talking to Dr. Dennis Wells, DDS at the Nashville Center for Aesthetic Dentistry at our Brentwood office. Just because teeth whitening products are readily available, it doesn’t mean they are all safe or appropriate for every person. Getting a professional opinion is a good first step.

Don’t be fooled by smile whitening hype and risk damage, especially if you need tetracycline teeth whitening. If you have existing cosmetic dental work such as crowns, bonding, partial dentures or bridge work, it is especially important to talk to a Nashville dental professional about worry free dentistry teeth whitening.

Teeth whitening kits are not the only way to quickly improve your smile. Many of your neighbors have benefited from porcelain veneers. There are several brands of veneers such as Lumineers by Cerinate, da Vinci and Mac. We can help you decide on which is best for you.

Veneers are sometimes called ‘instant orthodontics’ because they can correct tooth misalignment and gaps as well as provide instant teeth whitening.

Porcelain veneers can also fix chipped teeth and cover stains. The vast majority of Nashville veneer recipients are extremely pleased with the results.

Correcting Severe Dental Problems in Brentwood

Friday, May 14th, 2010

Each separate restorative and cosmetic dentistry procedure performed in Brentwood can address a specific dental problem. For example, a porcelain veneer can perfect the surface of a tooth that is discolored or slightly misshapen. Dental bonding can fill a small chip in an otherwise healthy tooth.

Some Nashville dental problems are more extensive and require a combination of procedures. Crown restoration combined with soft tissue grafts can restore a severely decayed tooth with the root exposed. A bone graft and dental implant can restore a missing tooth in an area where the jaw bone has receded. Orthodontia followed by tooth bleaching totally transforms a smile by straightening and whitening.

What is the difference between tooth bleaching and whitening? Teeth whitening is the term for procedures which remove surface stains to restore the degree of natural lightness. Bleaching goes even further by lightening teeth beyond their natural shade. That’s right: you don’t have to resign yourself to yellow teeth even if they have been that way your whole life! The natural shade of your teeth, by the way, like your skin and hair color, is determined by genetics.

Some Brentwood smiles have been gleaming for years by regular whitening. You can maintain the whiteness of your teeth just as you maintain your fitness level. (Of course it is a lot easier to make a quick visit to your Nashville dentist once a year for whitening touch-ups than sweating in a gym several times a week!)

We live in an age where severe dental problems can be permanently corrected. You don’t have to participate in a TV makeover show in Hollywood to access these premium cosmetic dental procedures. They are available right here in Brentwood. Dr. Dennis Wells has the same advanced training and extensive experience as the dentists who keep the smiles of famous actors and musicians camera-ready.

Schedule a consultation at the Nashville Center for Aesthetic Dentistry to discover the perfect combination of procedures to achieve your ultimate smile. Our phone number is (615) 866-5151.
