Creating a smile that looks healthy and attractive takes both artistic ability and critical thinking. If you desire a smile that accentuates your personality, start by choosing a Nashville dentist who has the talent to make that concept a reality.

With careful thought, attention to detail, and a complete understanding of your main concerns, your cosmetic dentist in Nashville, TN can design a smile that boosts your confidence and enhances your appearance.

Your smile speaks volumes about your health, your confidence, and your personality. It lights up your face and brightens the lives of those around you. When you feel insecure about the flaws in your smile, it is natural to avoid laughing openly or smiling for pictures.

With the painless and sophisticated advances in modern dental technology, it’s possible to make moderate or drastic improvements to virtually any smile.

Teeth whitening is possibly the most popular and most commonly requested cosmetic procedure available. It’s a safe and comfortable way to brighten the shade of your smile without changing the structure of your natural teeth. Discolorations caused by coffee, tea, smoking, or red wine can be eliminated with the help of an experienced cosmetic dentist.

Structural improvements to your smile can be achieved with the help of porcelain veneers or crowns. These permanent restorations can be designed to mimic the shape and shade of natural teeth, while remaining strong enough to endure normal biting and chewing. Veneers and crowns can transform your appearance by addressing concerns such as:

• Gaps between the teeth
• Chipped or broken teeth
• Worn fillings
• Teeth that are too short or too long
• Teeth that are crooked or crowded

Sometimes, the gum tissue surrounding the teeth can affect the appearance of your smile. Uneven gums can make the teeth appear too short or the smile unbalanced. Utilizing the latest techniques in cosmetic dentistry, it is possible to sculpt the gum tissue and improve the symmetry of your gumline.

Cosmetic dentistry should be customized to your particular concerns. It can be limited to a single tooth or comprehensive enough to rejuvenate your overall appearance. As you begin to explore the possibilities of your new smile, you may also be interested in straightening the teeth, replacing missing teeth, or eliminating unsightly fillings.

For these and other dental concerns, contact your cosmetic dentist in Nashville for an appointment today.

Goodlettsville and Nashville dentist Dr. Joe Fox has a remedy for those patients- oral sedation dentistry.

“We understand that sometimes people have had a negative experience at the dentist, and they want to avoid treatment,” Dr. Fox says. “But with the help of oral sedation, we enable the patient to relax throughout their procedure, and have little to no memory of the treatment once we’re finished.”

The Goodlettsville dentist has offered oral sedation to patients in our office for about six years. If you want to be sedated, we will give you a pill to take at home before your appointment. Once you arrive at our office, Dr. Fox will administer additional doses until you feel comfortable and relaxed.

At that point, Dr. Fox is able to proceed with your scheduled procedure.

“Sedation dentistry enables us to get a lot of dentistry done in a short period of time,” he says. “The patient may be here for a lengthy appointment, but they feel like they were only here for 10 minutes. Sometimes they have no memory of the entire visit.”

Who should consider oral sedation? It’s actually suitable for a variety of patients.

Some of our patients want to make the most of their time at the dentist. Nashville dentist Dr. Fox says people who need multiple procedures completed should consider oral sedation, as it enables you to remain comfortable for a longer period of time.  This allows more to be accomplished in one visit instead of breaking up the procedures into multiple appointments.

“It’s a great way to only have to take one day off from work, versus multiple partial days of work that must be missed if you split up the procedures,” he says.

If you are nervous, apprehensive, or don’t like the sites, sounds and smells associated with dentistry, you likely are a good candidate for oral sedation.

Sometimes, you might need extensive treatment and you may decide you would like to undergo it in the most relaxed way possible. Oral sedation can make it happen.

Almost anyone is a candidate for oral sedation, provided you do not suffer from uncontrolled or significant diabetic, cardiac, or other severe medical issues, according to Dr. Fox.

Our Goodlettsville and Nashville dentistry practice also offers nitrous oxide.
