General Dentistry

GENERAL DENTISTRY FOR KNOXVILLE FAMILIES

Here in Knoxville, TN, our team understands the importance of prevention – after all, isn’t it easier to correct a dental problem while it is still small? That is why our general dentistry services are an important cornerstone of the personalized care we provide. Biannual checkups and regular cleanings from a dental hygienist can benefit smiles of all ages.

Of course, if you need a little more than just preventive care, we can still help. We offer a number of effective general dental therapies that can relieve pain and bring you much-needed relief, and depending on the root cause of the dental issue itself, there are a good number of services that we offer above and beyond the typical ‘general’ dentistry scope.

DENTAL EXAMS & TEETH CLEANINGS

Routine dental visits are essential for good oral health, even if you brush and floss diligently at home.

We have been improving the health and appearance of patients’ smiles for over 35 years by combining technology, science, and artistry into unique and beautiful smiles for each individual.

CROWNS

Crowns are dental restorations that resemble natural teeth. They are typically used to repair breaks and protect against future infection. They can also be attached to dental implants in order to replace missing teeth.

We use durable, natural-looking dental crowns that can withstand years of normal chewing, speaking, brushing, and flossing. At the end of dental crown treatment with our dentists, you’ll have a completely functional bite and an attractive smile.

FILLINGS

If you have a cavity, you are not alone. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 91 percent of American adults have had a cavity in their lifetime. Cavities are common, but if they are left untreated, they can cause pain, infection, and serious oral health issues.

Fortunately, cavities have one of the most simple, cost-effective treatment options available if they are treated early on. We can place a composite filling over the area affected by tooth decay to restore the function and beauty of your smile. These tooth-colored fillings are a popular alternative to traditional amalgam fillings at our Knoxville, TN, office and offer many benefits for patients struggling with tooth decay.

GUM TREATMENT

Scaling and root planing can eliminate tartar and calculus buildup below the gum line in cases of mild to moderate periodontal disease. This non-surgical treatment is incredibly effective, and can prevent gum disease from progressing to an unmanageable stage. At Cornerstone Dental Arts – Fort Sanders West, we perform scaling and root planing for patients who exhibit early signs of gum disease. With years of experience providing comprehensive care, Dr. Kinder and Dr. Whitaker can determine the best treatment plan for your unique needs so you can enjoy a beautiful, healthy smile again.

NIGHT GUARDS

Nightguards, or “mouth guards”, are custom-fit devices that fit precisely over your teeth to help relieve jaw pain and prevent your teeth from grinding against each other.

They are made of firm yet flexible material molded specifically for your teeth and made from durable acrylic plastic or sturdy soft silicone.

Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder that affects about 20 million Americans each night. The symptoms include loud snoring, chronic exhaustion, and frequently waking up out of breath.
