Wishing your smile better reflected who you are? According to research done by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, a new smile can make you look more intelligent, interesting, and successful to others. Your smile does more than make you look attractive or help you eat and talk; in fact, it plays a major role in how others perceive you and how you connect with people in social and career settings. It is one of your biggest assets in expressing your inner self.

While some people are looking for more major tooth restorations, we find that many people wish their teeth where a little whiter, straighter, or longer. Cosmetic dentist Dr. Dennis Wells has been a leader in Nashville cosmetic dentistry for over 25 years. His artistic skill and attention to detail have shaped several of the most prominent smiles in Nashville.

Dentists in Nashville are concerned with your oral health and thus care about the condition of your mouth and all of your many teeth. At Nashville Center for Aesthetic Dentistry we recognize that your teeth help you both eat and speak. You use your teeth to tear, scrape, and chew food, as well as to form words with your tongue. Teeth are an important part of your oral health and Nashville Center for Aesthetic Dentistry wants to help keep your mouth and teeth healthy.

We humans have two sets of teeth in our lifetime. The first set are your ‘primary teeth’, which many folks around Nashville often call ‘baby teeth’. Baby teeth typically start to come in at about 6 months old. An average healthy mouth for a Nashville resident has a total of 20 primary teeth by about age 5.

Your primary teeth will eventually fall out and new teeth known as ‘permanent teeth’ will grow in. Permanent teeth typically begin to come in around age 6 for most Nashville residents, but every person is unique and it could be a little earlier or later. By about age 13 an average healthy mouth should have 28 of the total 32 permanent teeth. The last four permanent teeth may or may not come, but typically come in between the ages of 17 and 21 if they do. Because of the late age that these last teeth come in they are commonly called ‘wisdom teeth’.

Many adults in the city of Nashville have their wisdom teeth pulled out because these teeth can be problematic to your oral health, such as crowding a mouth. Other adults in the Nashville area may not have these teeth pulled out because they are not causing problems. If you are concerned about the state of your wisdom teeth you can visit our local Nashville office and we can help you make a decision.

Caring for all of your teeth is important for your overall health. Visiting your Nashville dentist regularly, and brushing and flossing daily are great ways to care for your many teeth.  Most people are not born with perfect teeth.  We help patients every day create beautiful smiles.  Some of our common procedures are porcelain veneers, dental implants, and teeth whitening.  Nashville Center for Aesthetic Dentistry located in Nashville, cares about you oral health and creating beautiful smiles with cosmetic dentistry.  They can be reached by phone at (615) 866-5151.
