Invisalign®

Nashville Dental Studio is pleased to announce that we are an authorized provider of Invisalign®. This orthodontic treatment is an excellent solution for correcting spacing and malalignment issues with your teeth. Invisalign treatment is initiated by first scanning your teeth and then reviewing the scans to see what the correction will look like for you. 

 

It is recommended that you receive a full oral evaluation to assess your dental and periodontal health before beginning orthodontic treatment, ensuring that the treatment will be beneficial and not harmful. At the beginning of the treatment, attachments are usually added to your teeth to help the clear trays move your teeth more effectively. These attachments are not harmful and will be removed once treatment is completed. Invisalign treatment typically takes between 6 months and 2 years to complete. You will receive clear aligners to be exchanged every two weeks, which must be worn for the majority of the day. 

 

Progress is carefully monitored with in-office visits during your treatment time. We will recommend the best long-term option for you regarding retention or retainers at the end of treatment. If you are not happy with the alignment of your teeth, Invisalign can be a wonderful choice to consider.

Home Whitening Solutions

We offer an effective home teeth whitening solution that consists of customized trays and whitening gel. Our process begins with creating trays that fit the contours of your teeth. We then provide you with a whitening gel for home use at your convenience. To start, we recommend using the trays daily for 30-60 minutes over a period of two weeks. After this initial period, you can transition to using the trays 1-2 times per month to maintain your white smile. The peroxide-based gel is safe to use and the trays are comfortable and clear. You can even wear them during the day if preferred. This at-home teeth whitening option is affordable and a must-have for anyone looking to enhance their smile. For more information, don’t hesitate to ask us how to get started.

Veneers

Dental veneers are an essential component of cosmetic dentistry, generally made of porcelain. The veneers are placed on the front or cheek surface of the tooth to give a natural appearance. These are designed for changing the size, shape, length, and color of your teeth. Our detailed design process guarantees that you will get an aesthetic veneer as well as a functional one. We ensure that the veneers not only enhance your look but also function for the years to come. By utilizing a state-of-the-art dental lab, we aim to create natural-looking veneers. If you’re curious about how a cosmetic enhancement of your smile would appear, we can provide digital and clinical examples. Allow us to guide you through every step of the process, ensuring a stunning new smile.

Cosmetic Bonding

Cosmetic bonding is a valuable tool in dentistry that can enhance the size, shape, color, and length of teeth using dental resin or composite. It is commonly used to correct minor defects that do not require crowns or veneers. Bonding may also serve as a preparatory step for a more intricate restoration. By adding the material, we can test the bite and chewing pattern before moving forward with more definitive procedures. Bonding can also be used to close spaces between teeth and may offer a cost-effective alternative to lab-fabricated restorations when time and financial constraints are a concern. With an artistic touch and attention to detail, dental bonding can produce beautiful and long-lasting results. Although it has limitations, cosmetic bonding remains a valuable option in clinical dentistry.
