Cosmetic Dentistry in Nashville, TN
We work with a top dental lab to create high-quality cosmetic treatments. Here are some of the cosmetic services we offer:
Porcelain Veneers
Dental veneers are thin shells made of resin or porcelain that we bond to your teeth to fix crooked, stained, or damaged teeth. They can help make your smile look straighter and brighter. You can use veneers on one tooth or multiple teeth, depending on your needs. Veneers look like natural teeth because they reflect light in the same way, blending perfectly with your smile.
Clear Braces
Invisalign clear aligners are made of BPA-free plastic to straighten crooked teeth. These aligners are a more discreet and comfortable option compared to metal braces. They are easy to remove, so you can brush, floss, eat, and drink without trouble.
Teeth Bonding
Dental bonding is a good choice for fixing small chips, cracks, or breaks in the enamel. It’s similar to veneers but works well for patients with only one or two small cosmetic issues. Bonding is also a more affordable option than veneers.
Teeth Whitening
Our in-office and take-home teeth whitening treatments can remove stains and brighten your teeth. We offer top-quality whitening treatments that can lighten your teeth by several shades. We also create custom whitening trays for your convenience and touch-ups.
Botox and Fillers
Dr. Whetsell offers Botox and fillers for patients who want to reduce wrinkles around the eyes, forehead, or lips. Fillers can add volume to your face or lips. Botox can also help treat TMJ disorders by relaxing the muscles in your face.
Why Cosmetic Dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry isn’t just about making your smile look better. Many problems with how teeth look can also point to deeper issues with your oral health. We aim to improve both the look and function of your smile by fixing the root cause of these issues, boosting your confidence, and making sure your smile works as it should.
Take crooked teeth, for example. Many people worry about how crooked teeth look, but they can cause bigger problems, too. Crooked teeth are harder to clean because they overlap and sit at odd angles, making it tough to get in between with a toothbrush or floss. Even our dental tools can have trouble cleaning these areas, which means your risk for tooth decay and gum disease goes up.
Crooked teeth can also lead to uneven pressure when you bite. Some teeth end up taking on more force than others, causing them to wear down, crack, or even break. Over time, you might need more restorative work to keep your teeth healthy.
An uneven bite can also cause problems with your jaw joint, leading to TMJ disorders. The jaw joint can’t move smoothly, and the muscles around it get tense, which causes pain in your face, head, and jaw. You might hear popping or clicking sounds when you move your jaw or have trouble chewing.
Fixing crooked teeth can help prevent these issues and keep your smile healthy in the long run.
Cosmetic Smile Makeovers
A smile makeover uses different cosmetic treatments to create your ideal smile. Every smile makeover is unique. We start with a consultation to talk about your oral health, medical history, budget, and smile goals. Then, we do a full exam to gather all the info needed to make a custom plan just for you.
Botox
We also offer facial cosmetic treatments like Botox and dermal fillers. Besides enhancing your smile, these treatments can add volume and give your face a more youthful look. Dentists know facial muscles well, so we can perform these injections with great accuracy.
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is a popular choice because almost everyone deals with tooth stains at some point. Whitening can make your smile look younger. But some stains don’t respond well to regular whitening. If this happens, we can use options like porcelain veneers or dental bonding, which we can match to any shade you like.
Veneers and Bonding
Veneers and bonding are versatile options that can fix more than just stains. They’re great for worn, cracked, chipped, or broken teeth. They can also close small gaps or improve misshapen teeth. Sometimes, these treatments alone can transform your entire smile.
If your crooked teeth are too severe for veneers, we offer clear braces. Clear aligners are a subtle way to straighten your teeth. They’re almost invisible and can work faster for mild to moderate problems.
Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs
Learn more about cosmetic dentistry in Nashville, TN, with answers to these popular questions:
When will I see the results from teeth whitening?
You may notice a change after a few hours with in-office whitening. For take-home trays, it might take a few weeks. But either way, you’ll see a brighter smile!
How do clear aligners compare to metal braces?
Metal braces use wires and brackets to move teeth, which can make it harder to clean your smile and may irritate your gums. Clear aligners are removable, so you can eat what you like and brush and floss easily. They fit snugly, so they won’t poke your gums.
How does Botox help patients with TMJ disorders?
Dr. Whetsell can use Botox to treat tense muscles caused by TMD. Many people with TMJ problems feel pain in their jaw, face, and head. Botox helps relax these muscles and ease pain.
