This man is the best you'll find,he makes extractions the easiest and least painful of any dentist I've been to in all my 56 years he honestly tries to make your experience as pain free as is possible, I've referred many people to him and they have come back and thanked me for referring the to him, in sdfition, he is a fine Christian man and his staff makes you free like family, if he hadn't already extracted all of my teeth except my sweet tooth I'd be back in his chair in a heart beat give him a try and I promise you,you'll be very pleased that you found him

Dental Examination

Teeth Cleaning
Dental Sealants
Highly effective in preventing decay on the biting surfaces of your chewing teeth, sealants are a simple procedure in which a tooth-colored acrylic coating is painted onto the surface of the tooth. This effectively “seals” the deep grooves where decay is most likely to start.

Fillings
Dentin Build-Up – This is simply the layering of resin to fill any voids and recreate the original tooth’s shape. One problem with metal or amalgam fillings is that they need undercuts to hold them in place. The use of undercutting removes some of the healthy tooth and can lead to weakening and future cracks. Resin dentin build-ups don't have this problem.
Resin Composite
Dentists are using more tooth-like materials (composite resins and porcelains) that are both safe and predictable. The most important feature, for many people, is that they look and react more like natural teeth.
Veneers
A popular procedure to get the look of a perfect smile. Before and after photos reveal the difference veneers can make.
Crowns
Semi-Direct Fillings – Semi-Direct fillings are for repairing larger areas. These are similar to direct fillings, in that layers of resin are used, but this restoration can be removed and is set outside of the mouth. Once the filling has set, it is then bonded to the tooth. Semi-Direct fillings can also use CAD/CAM (Computer Assisted Design/Computer Assisted Milling) to create the inlays. This technology allows your dental professional to make a harder, more durable porcelain restoration without having to send out a mold to a remote fabrication facility. Indirect Fillings – Indirect fillings are used when a very large or complex restoration is required. Basically when there is not enough healthy tooth left to fill, a restoration is created to replace most of the visible tooth, or to crown it. These are more involved procedures and cannot be made directly to the tooth and cannot be placed the same day.
Bridges
Dental implants can also serve as supports for crowns and bridges. The traditional technique of a bridge requires that the neighboring teeth be re-contoured to cement the bridge in place. Partials use clasps that also anchor to nearby healthy teeth. Also, wearing dentures, especially uppers, can interfere with your enjoyment of food because they cover your palate and taste buds.
Dental Bonding
Restorative Dentistry
Restoring teeth—or literally rebuilding them successfully—depends on a good bond between resin materials and both the enamel and dentin. Restorative dentistry recreates a tooth that not only looks natural but responds naturally too, allowing bite stress to pass through the tooth while receiving biting force.

Root Canal Treatment
There are more dental treatment options available today to keep your smile beautiful and your teeth healthy and strong. And, while the words "tooth filling" and "root canal" may set you on edge, today these dental procedures can be performed with little pain or inconvenience.

Dentures
We help you better understand dentures and how they can help you. Four different types are available...

Dental Implants
"The dentist who had taken care of my needs for over 30 years retired and sold his practice. I was not happy with the new dentists and found that they did not respond to my needs. I broke a front tooth, and they sent me to an endodontist for an implant. He referred me back to my dentist for a partial, and they could not "work me in" for over a month. I did not want to go without a front tooth for over a month, so I called Premier. They saw me the next day, and I had my partial in one week. I am so appreciative to them for taking care of me."

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Tooth Extractions
Tooth extraction is necessary for various reasons. Conditions such as impacted teeth, advanced periodontal disease, a severely decayed or broken tooth may lead to extraction. Treatment for an orthodontic procedure is another reason your dentist might need to remove one or more teeth. Removing only one tooth could lead to other problems such as shifting teeth, difficulty chewing and jaw joint soreness. Either of these conditions can have a serious impact on your overall dental health.

Invisalign Orthodontics
Invisalign is one of the simplest smile-enhancements you can choose. The process starts with a consultation appointment with our office (call 615-452-1292 to schedule!!)
Braces
Invisalign technology uses clear trays as orthodontic devices. These trays fit precisely over your teeth and move your teeth gradually to an ideal arch-form, bite alignment, and beautiful smile. At Premier Dental Care we start the Invisalign process with a 1 on 1 consultation with you. We listen to your desires and goals for your smile, teeth, and bite, designing the Invisalign treatment based on your wants and needs. Invisalign typically moves your teeth more quickly than traditional braces, and it does so invisibly. Other people will not know you are wearing braces.

Teeth Whitening
Many teeth whitening systems are available, including whitening toothpastes, over-the-counter gels, rinses, strips, and trays, and whitening agents obtained from a dentist.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Our goal is to create great smiles for all our patients. From regular checkups and good oral hygiene practices to cosmetic dentistry including veneers and dentures, you can have that great smile you always wanted.
