Frequently Asked Questions About Cosmetic Dentistry

Friday, October 14th, 2011

What is cosmetic dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry is a branch of dentistry that focuses primarily on aesthetics. Cosmetic dental techniques such as porcelain veneers or dental crowns restore the look, shape, color, and function to broken, decayed, or damaged teeth with beautiful results. Teeth whitening gives your smile a lift by cleaning away stains and brightening your teeth. Dental implants and bridges can replace missing teeth for the look and feel of a complete smile. If you don’t like the shape, color, or look of your smile cosmetic dentistry can create the smile of your dreams.

Is cosmetic dentistry worth the investment?

Investing in a beautiful smile is not simply an indulgence of vanity. In fact, creating a smile you feel confident about can benefit almost every aspect of your life. Your smile is one of your biggest assets when it comes to social and career opportunities because it helps you express your personality and give a good first impression.

When it comes to choosing a cosmetic dentist, you want a professional you can trust. Nashville cosmetic dentist Dr. Dennis Wells has been dedicated to cosmetic dentistry for over 25 years, and has won numerous awards for his outstanding dentistry.

Cosmetic Dentistry for Nashville

Thursday, March 17th, 2011

Affordable Brentwood Cosmetic Dentistry Will your Tennessee dental insurance cover Brentwood cosmetic dental procedures? Many Brentwood dentistry clients assume their dental insurance won’t cover any cosmetic dental procedures. This is probably true for tooth whitening in Brentwood or first time dental bonding. However, many Tennessee dental insurance plans and dental supplemental plans cover orthodontia and any treatment needed to repair damage from an injury. Medical insurance and worker’s compensation plans may also cover injury treatment.

Some Brentwood dental insurance plans cover replacement porcelain veneers in certain circumstances. Check with your carrier for benefit specifics if you need replacement veneers due to deterioration. We can then discuss dental treatment options such as replacement veneers or porcelain crowns. When the work is completed, we may be able to help you submit your dental claim form if your plan requires one.

If you are in need of any kind of dental treatment; from a cleaning to major restorative work, come in to Nashville Center for Aesthetic Dentistry on 105 Powell Court, Suite 101, Brentwood, TN. You can meet our experienced and professional team, undergo a thorough evaluation and discuss financing options. Even if you do not have Tennessee dental insurance, let’s talk. Top quality Brentwood cosmetic dental treatment is a wise investment and may be more affordable than you think.

Dr. Dennis Wells of Nashville Center for Aesthetic Dentistry has been proudly serving Brentwood and Oak Hill residents since 1983. Nashville Center for Aesthetic Dentistry is a network dental provider for many Tennessee dental insurance plans.

How Dental Implants are Changing Dentures in Brentwood

Thursday, October 28th, 2010

How Dental Implants are Changing Dentures in Brentwood If you are one of the many Brentwood denture wearers, you know that they are not the ideal solution for missing teeth.

The problems with dentures include slipping, gum irritation, trouble eating and talking, bone loss, and inability to taste food due to a covered palate. Clearly, dentures do not feel and function like natural teeth.

Good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups can help you avoid the need for dentures later in your life, but other factors can make dental replacements an inevitability.

The good news? Modern dental implant technology is making dentures a thing of the past.

At Nashville Center for Aesthetic Dentistry we have information and expertise that can help bring hope to Brentwood denture wearers through dental implant technology. There are a variety of effective denture/implant tooth configurations.

Call Nashville Center for Aesthetic Dentistry at (615) 866-5151 to book an implant overdenture consultation with Dr. Dennis Wells. We can recommend and help you understand your options.

If you currently wear traditional dentures and are not happy with them, dental implants may dramatically change your life. Your chewing ability will be similar to that of natural teeth and you will be able to eat hard foods again. How about a thick T-bone at your favorite Brentwood steakhouse? In addition to being able to enjoy your meal, you will avoid the embarrassment of having your dentures rattle around in your mouth in public.

Before you pay for another denture reline, ask your Brentwood cosmetic dentist about the possibility of dental implants. While tooth implants are a significant investment, the dental implant cost is very reasonable when you consider they can last a lifetime.

Attention Brentwood denture wearers: there is life after dentures with dental implants!

Come see us at Nashville Center for Aesthetic Dentistry at 105 Powell Court, Suite 101 in Brentwood, 37027 for more information about dental implants.

Brentwood Dentistry Cosmetic at Nashville Center for Aesthetic Dentistry

Thursday, September 30th, 2010

Cosmetic Denistry in Nashville Do you have a damaged tooth that causes you embarrassment? Even if all your other teeth are nicely shaped and pearly white, guess what other people notice? Yep, the ugly duckling. You have probably experienced that yourself when you have looked at a smile that contains one discolored tooth. No matter how hard you try, the unsightly one is impossible to ignore.

A beautiful smile is an important component of your overall appearance. Unattractive teeth draw the eye away from other pleasing features such as thick shiny hair, gorgeous eyes or a peaches and cream complexion.

Fortunately, there are several cosmetic dental procedures to restore or repair one or more teeth. At Nashville Center for Aesthetic Dentistry in Brentwood, we can complete most of them in one short visit. Think about it; you could achieve a stunning smile in less than an afternoon!

Veneers, Bonding and Cosmetic Implant Dentistry
Dental bonding is an affordable cosmetic dentistry procedure available in Brentwood at Nashville Center for Aesthetic Dentistry. We use dental bonding in a variety of applications. In addition to repairing damage, dental bonding can close gaps between teeth. Porcelain veneers are another minimally invasive cosmetic fix. Like cosmetic dental bonding, veneers correct chips, cracks and improve tooth shape.

What if your problem is not an unattractive tooth but a missing tooth? Don’t despair, a beautiful smile is still possible in Nashville with dental implants.

For more information about veneers, bonding, implants and other cosmetic denistry procedures, call Nashville Center for Aesthetic Dentistry at (615) 866-5151. We are conveniently located at 105 Powell Court, Suite 101, in Brentwood, TN. We provide advanced dentistry for patients in Tennessee, Oak Hill and the surrounding areas. We look forward to showing you cosmetic dentistry ‘before and after’ pictures.

Tooth Restoration in Brentwood

Wednesday, September 22nd, 2010

Tooth Restoration in Brentwood At Nashville Center for Aesthetic Dentistry in Brentwood, we use a variety of techniques to restore damaged teeth. Most cosmetic dental clients are familiar with fillings. Traditional fillings are also called ‘direct restorations’ because they are applied to the tooth, shaped and polished in one visit.

Another type of filling is called an ‘indirect restoration’ and is fabricated in a Tennessee dental lab. There are two types: inlays and onlays.

When a tooth needs more extensive dental restoration, dental crowns are often used. At Nashville Center for Aesthetic Dentistry in Brentwood, we create strong, natural-looking crowns from a variety of materials.

What if the tooth is damaged beyond repair?  Dentures are not the only option.  There are a number of functional replacements for missing teeth including dental implants.

Call (615) 866-5151 to learn about the restoration options available. We have been improving smiles for patients in the Nashville, Oak Hill, Knoxville, and Brentwood areas since 1983.

Whether the damage is caused by decay, injury, bite problems, or natural wear; Dennis Wells DDS will choose the best dental treatment plan for your tooth restoration needs. The Nashville Center for Aesthetic Dentistry is conveniently located at 105 Powell Court, Suite 101 in Brentwood, TN.

Aesthetic Dental Transformations in Tennessee

Wednesday, 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.
