Your Own Hollywood Smile with DURAthin Veneers

Wednesday, February 1st, 2012

It may sound too good to be true that you can have your own Hollywood smile with no pain, no drilling, and no grinding down of your teeth. But the revolutionary development of DURAthin veneers makes that offer available. Tennessee dentist Dr. Dennis Wells, in connection with his lab technician Mark Willes, designed and developed DURAthin veneers to restore and craft beautiful smiles without the damage to your natural teeth that many other cosmetic restorations require. If you wish you could change something about your smile, but don’t hate it enough to want a complete smile makeover, DURAthin veneers offers a more conservative solution that is just as aesthetic. You can have a Hollywood smile without all the pain and irreversible tooth reduction.

 

Like traditional porcelain veneers, DURAthin veneers can hide unsightly teeth, resize small or misshapen teeth, whiten slight discoloration, and straighten your smile for a beautiful look. They offer an excellent all-in-one solution for several common aesthetic problems with smiles today. Tennessee DURAthin veneers are much thinner than porcelain veneers, allowing them to bond directly to the front surface of the tooth. With traditional porcelain veneers, the dentist has to grind down the natural teeth to compensate for the added thickness of the veneer. With DURAthin veneers, you can have a beautiful new smile while preserving your teeth underneath.

 

Cosmetic dentist Dr. Dennis Wells points out that not everyone is a good candidate for DURAthin veneers. This cosmetic dental technique is designed for specific cases and may not be the solution for every dental need. At an initial consultation with Dr. Dennis Wells, he will assess your situation and together you will determine whether DURAthin prepless veneers are the best option for you. If you do not qualify for DURAthin veneers, other cosmetic dental techniques such as dental crowns or traditional porcelain veneers offer equally beautiful smiles.

 

To learn more about how DURAthin veneers can give you the Hollywood smile you want, call the Nashville Center for Aesthetic Dentistry at (615) 866-5151 to schedule an initial consultation with cosmetic dentist Dr. Dennis Wells.

How are Porcelain Veneers Placed?

If you are looking to straighten, cover up, whiten, or reshape your teeth, porcelain veneers offer a cosmetic dental solution for enhancing your smile to look just how you want. Porcelain veneers are thin pieces of tooth-like porcelain that are bonded to the front surface of your teeth. The procedure generally takes a few visits to ensure the most accurate placement. You can expect to experience the general steps outlined below:

 

1. Initial Consultation: At an initial consultation, Brentwood cosmetic dentist Dr. Dennis Wells will assess your teeth and discuss your goals for your smile.

 

2. Tooth Preparation: In order to compensate for the added thickness of porcelain veneers, Dr. Dennis Wells will prepare your teeth by reducing and preparing them beforehand. If you qualify for DURAthin veneers, no tooth reduction or preparation is necessary since the DURAthin veneers are so thin they can bond directly to the natural tooth surface.

 

3. Temporary Veneers: After your teeth have been prepared, Brentwood cosmetic dentist Dr. Wells will give you temporary veneers to wear while your permanent porcelain veneers are being designed and made.

 

4. Bonding: Images and molds of your teeth are sent to our highly skilled ceramist who carefully crafts your permanent porcelain veneers to fit your smile. Once your porcelain veneers are complete, Dr. Dennis Wells will bond them to the front surface of your teeth. If you choose DURAthin prepless veneers, no drilling is necessary!

 

5. Perfect Fit: After your porcelain veneers are bonded to your teeth, Dr. Dennis Wells will check to make sure your bite, color shading, and tooth shape all contribute to an aesthetically pleasing smile.

Preserve Your Teeth with DURAthin Veneers

Thursday, September 1st, 2011

Almost everyone has an aspect of their smile they wish they could change, but not everyone wants to undergo major tooth restoration to get the smile they want. When it comes to tooth restoration, Nashville Dr. Dennis Wells understands the importance of preserving as much natural tooth as possible. If you want to change an aspect of your smile without damaging or reducing your natural teeth, DURAthin veneers are for you. Dr. Dennis Wells and dental lab technician Mark Willes designed DURAthin veneers to provide similar benefits as traditional porcelain veneers, while still preserving the underlying teeth. No drilling necessary!

While traditional porcelain veneers require some tooth reduction to compensate for the added thickness of the veneers, DURAthin veneers are so thin that they bond directly onto the surface of the natural tooth. In fact, these prepless veneers are about as thin as a contact lens. DURAthin veneers offer the aesthetic benefits of traditional porcelain veneers without the pain, drilling, and irreversible reduction of tooth enamel. As a result, DURAthin veneers preserve your underlying teeth so that you can remove the veneers down the road with no damage to your original smile.

DURAthin veneers offer you the beautiful smile you want without all the time and pain of traditional tooth restoration procedures. If you are looking to whiten, straighten, or reshape one or more of your teeth, call The Nashville Center for Aesthetic Dentistry in Brentwood, Tennessee to schedule an initial consultation with Dr. Dennis Wells.

Reshape Your Smile with Porcelain Veneers

Monday, August 15th, 2011

Whether you are looking to lengthen your teeth, cover a tooth crack, or straighten a crooked tooth, porcelain veneers are most likely your best solution. Porcelain veneers are a popular cosmetic and restorative dental technique used to straighten, whiten, or reshape smiles for a naturally attractive look.

Porcelain veneers are thin pieces of porcelain that are bonded onto the front of each tooth to restore aesthetics and protect damaged teeth. Among the wide-ranging uses for porcelain veneers, the following list shows a few ways porcelain veneers in Tennessee can benefit your smile:

  • Whiten slightly discolored teeth
  • Close tooth gaps
  • Hide cracks or chips
  • Protect damaged teeth
  • Straighten slightly crooked teeth
  • Lengthen small teeth
  • Reshape uneven or irregular teeth

Porcelain veneers offer the benefits of whitening, straightening, and reshaping all in the same restoration. Whether you need one or multiple porcelain veneers, they are designed to fit naturally into your smile. Each veneer is custom-shaped and colored to create the smile you want. The porcelain material mirrors the translucent quality of natural tooth enamel for a more natural look.

To learn more about porcelain veneers or to ask Dr. Dennis Wells about DURAthin veneers, call the Nashville Center for Aesthetic Dentistry in Brentwood, Tennessee to schedule an initial consultation. We look forward to helping you achieve the smile of your dreams!

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.

Versatile Veneers for a Vivid Smile

Thursday, January 6th, 2011

Affordable Cosmetic Dentistry in Nashville Have you ever wished you could quickly attach perfectly shaped, dazzling white front surfaces to your teeth? Guess what? You can! With porcelain veneers, you can eliminate smile imperfections in just one visit to your Brentwood cosmetic dental office.

The porcelain veneer is one of the most versatile items in a Brentwood cosmetic dentist’s toolbox. Dental veneers turn unattractive smiles into perfect smiles with minimal disruption to existing tooth structure. They are quicker and usually less expensive than complete crowns but are made with the same strong, translucent porcelain.

It’s no that wonder that a very large percentage of people in the public eye have porcelain veneers. A Tennessee actress can receive a perfect smile in the morning and appear on a talk show that evening. A supermodel can permanently remedy a discolored tooth and pose for photos right after leaving her Tennessee dental office. A Brentwood television news anchorman can have his teeth perfectly aligned in a couple hours and report Tennessee news that same day.

I am Dr. Dennis Wells of Nashville Center for Aesthetic Dentistry in Brentwood, Tennessee. I use veneers alone and in combination with dental crowns, inlays, onlays, and tooth implants for dramatic smile makeovers. Perhaps porcelain veneers are the best route to your perfect smile.
