Am I a Candidate for Cosmetic Dentistry?
You may be a good candidate for cosmetic dentistry in Nashville if you:
Are in good oral health
You must be free of oral health issues such as tooth decay and gum disease before cosmetic treatment. However, some restorative treatments such as dental implants or tooth-colored fillings can not only restore the health and function of your smile, but your appearance as well.
Have cosmetic concerns
Cosmetic treatments are designed to address aesthetic issues with your teeth. If you have issues that impact your oral health and function, general or restorative dentistry options may be best. Our dentists provide a range of treatments to help you attain a healthy and beautiful smile.
Are ready to invest in your smile
Most cosmetic dentistry treatments are not covered by dental insurance as they are not considered medically necessary. We strive to help you fit your treatment into your budget so you can invest in your smile.
Popular Cosmetic Dentistry Treatments
Porcelain Veneers
A veneer is a porcelain shell that fits over the front surface of a tooth to conceal dental concerns. Veneers address issues such as a cracked, chipped, or stained tooth, but can also conceal minor misalignments.
Teeth Whitening
Opalescence® Boost teeth whitening uses a powerful whitening solution to brighten your smile in as little as an hour. Professional whitening is far more effective than at-home options; thanks to tailored treatment, you'll leave the dental chair with a smile that is several shades whiter.
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are an orthodontic alternative to traditional metal braces that use clear trays instead of metal wire and brackets. This allows patients to discreetly straighten their teeth and enjoy the cosmetic and health benefits of an aligned smile.
Dental Crowns
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap made of porcelain that covers the visible portion of a tooth. This trusted dentistry treatment can address issues such as tooth decay and dental damage to restore the health, function, and appearance of a tooth. A dental crown paired with a dental implant can also replace a single missing tooth.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
If you have a decayed tooth, a filling is often used following treatment to restore the tooth structure. Our Nashville dentists use tooth-colored fillings instead of metal so that the filling blends in seamlessly with your natural teeth.
Do You Have
Dental Concerns
Impacting Oral Health and Function?
We can help! Our skilled dentists and dental team offer a range of restorative and general dentistry treatments, including beautiful and natural-looking restorations supported by dental implants. If you have missing teeth, Dr. Nabors and Dr. Clegg partner with trusted oral surgeons to coordinate dental implant placement. They will then help craft custom restorations for a beautifully restored smile.
Our dentists also offer general dentistry treatments such as cleanings and exams to help you maintain the health of your teeth, mouth, and gums.
Frequently Asked Questions About Cosmetic Dentistry
Does cosmetic treatment hurt?
No. Most cosmetic dentistry treatments are practically painless. For treatments like fillings and crowns, your dentist will thoroughly numb the area before your treatment begins to ensure you are completely comfortable.
Do you accept insurance for treatments that may be covered?
Our dental practice in Nashville, TN, is considered out of network, as we do not want the level of care we provide to be dictated by insurance companies. We will happily help you file for reimbursement in cases where your dentistry treatment is covered. However, it is important to remember that most cosmetic treatments are considered elective and are not usually covered by dental insurance.
