When we develop a toothache, sometimes we need a root canal in order to save the tooth. The procedure removes the nerve of the tooth, cleans out the infection, and puts a synthetic filler into the tooth to seal it.
Many patients fear root canal treatment, but for the patient, the experience is not much different than getting a cavity filled. It is a simple, pain-free process that can almost always be completed in a single appointment.
Treating gum disease, or periodontitis, usually requires removing bacteria from underneath the gums with a process known as scaling and root planing.
Our experienced dental hygienists can perform this procedure gently and get you back on your way to having healthy teeth and gums.
Dr. Hollingsworth is certified in Limited Conscious Sedation in the state of Tennessee. For medically qualified patients, we can help make your dental visit free of fear and anxiety. If you are interested, please call us for more information!
Composite fillings, sometimes referred to as bonding, are a staple of modern dental care. When you have a cavity or a fractured tooth, these white fillings are a strong, esthetic solution. Tooth-colored fillings are bonded to tooth structure, shaped, then polished, usually resulting in a restoration that is virtually undetectable. Composite fillings can give us new teeth that look, feel, and function just like natural teeth.
Veneers are thin porcelain shells that fit over the fronts of teeth. They can help change the shape, size, color, and position of teeth to give you a more beautiful smile. Esthetic conditions that may be corrected by veneers include:
• Gaps or spaces between teeth
• Stained or discolored teeth
• Cracked or chipped teeth
Often, whitening or orthodontic treatment may be better options, depending on overall oral health. To learn more about veneers, give us a call!
