If you only remember one thing about porcelain veneers, it’s that they’re going to change the way you think, feel, and see your smile. Gone are the days of hiding from photos or deleting selfie after selfie because your teeth are just too embarrassing. Thanks to advancements in dental technology and materials, there are even more precise porcelain veneer solutions to choose from — including minimal-prep veneers.

To better understand cosmetic dentistry in Crossville and minimal-prep veneers, it’s important to know how they work. With traditional porcelain veneers, Dr. Hooie will have to work with part of your tooth enamel to create a more rigid surface that will hold the veneer in place. As the name suggests, with minimal-prep veneers, there’s little to no work involved before they’re affixed to your teeth. They offer the same reliable, remarkable results as porcelain veneers, except they require less tooth shaping. If you’re interested in learning more about minimal-prep veneers and how they can benefit your smile, make the call to Hooie Dental today. 

Are you struggling with your oral health? Is there a tooth or teeth causing you pain and discomfort that you can no longer hide with pain medication? Is it finally time to give your smile the care it deserves and that you’ve always desired? If you can answer yes, it’s time you know more about full-mouth restorations in Cumberland County. (Your oral and overall health could depend on it.)

In terms of high-quality cosmetic dentistry in Crossville, full-mouth restorations are in a class all by themselves compared to other aesthetic-enhancing treatments. There are a few reasons why all full-mouth restorations in Cumberland County are uniquely life-changing. They:

• Have many layers and generally consist of a variety of procedures
• Allow us to create a custom treatment plan to complete your unique needs
• Provide results on so many levels that you simply have to see it to believe it

We are here as your trusted dentist and partner for better oral and overall health. Bring your questions and your smile to us. We’ll take the time to get to know you and your smile to restore its beauty and function as nature always intended.

Do you have a problem with your teeth because they’re surrounded by too much gum tissue? Are they short in appearance, taking away from having balance in your smile? Crown lengthening is a treatment used in cosmetic dentistry in Crossville that makes your teeth longer and more aesthetically pleasing. It’s a safe, minimally-invasive laser procedure that we can complete in the comfort of our dental office that involves removing excess gum tissue. The result is a tooth or teeth with a healthy amount of surface area revealed. Your smile is going to appear more even and natural, but these aren’t the only benefits. Crown lengthening can also:

• Be easily completed in a single office visit, compared to other dental procedures requiring follow-up appointments. 
• Make you want to share your smile more, boosting your confidence and releasing neuropeptides that actually help to reduce stress.
• Help you enjoy improved oral and overall health.

There are even more benefits to crown lengthening that Dr. Hooie can explain when you call us for a cosmetic consultation. We can discuss your smile aesthetics and how crown lengthening can help you!

Sometimes a patient has a troublesome gum line that’s uneven or that sits too low below the lip. When this happens, you feel like all people see when you smile are these imperfections. We’re here to help and tell you that there’s a way to reshape your gums and improve your smile — and it’s called gum recontouring. 

Gum recontouring is not as widely used compared to other cosmetic dentistry procedures, however, it’s often used in conjunction with other treatments. Are you interested in porcelain veneers, but your gums are getting in the way? A talented dentist like Dr. Hooie with a love for smile aesthetics can use gum recontouring to prep your teeth for porcelain veneers. Some of the other gum recontouring benefits include:

• Permanent results – The good news is your gum tissue won’t grow back and ruin your new smile aesthetic. 
• Noticeable difference – Gum recontouring can make a positive impact on your smile because it puts the emphasis back on your teeth, not your gums. 
• Natural look – Although we can change how you look with gum recontouring, you won’t look overdone or unnatural following treatment.

While smile whitening is probably the most well-known treatment for cosmetic dentistry in Crossville, composite bonding ranks near the top too. It’s an easy and affordable solution that Dr. Hooie can use to remedy a variety of dental problems. We can show you what it feels like to live with a cosmetically-pleasing smile and a renewed sense of self-confidence both personally and professionally. Patients from Cumberland County, Fairfield Glade, and Lake Tansi have used composite bonding to fix teeth that are plagued by:

• Chips
• Cracks
• Stains
• Other irregularities

Another benefit of composite bonding is that we can complete your transformation in one office visit. Unlike other treatments, impressions, temporaries, lab work, and additional visits are no longer necessary. Dr. Hooie has the skilled eye and expertise to create the perfect shade and shape for your composite bonding for a conservative, natural-looking enhancement to your smile. If you think composite bonding might be what you’ve been looking for, it’s time for you to schedule a consultation so we can discuss the next steps. 

Cosmetic dentistry in Crossville has advanced in so many ways over the years, that talented dentists like Dr. Hooie have even more ways to improve patients’ smiles. Tooth recontouring can be used alone or as part of full-mouth restorations in Cumberland County to fix failing or imperfect teeth. In most cases, we can complete your tooth recontouring in a single office visit. 

This cosmetic dental service can be a sensible and affordable solution for teeth that have:

• Uneven ridges
• Sharp, jagged edges that can irritate your mouth
• Small chips and breaks due to clenching and grinding
• Other unwanted irregularities such as being too long or too short

It’s time you talked to Dr. Hooie about how tooth recontouring can bring balance and beauty back to even the most irregular smiles. We can polish your teeth for a smile that’s going to make you feel more comfortable and confident in both your personal and professional life. If your smile doesn’t make the grade, talk to us about tooth recontouring and cosmetic dentistry in Crossville.

Your delicious morning coffee. Your go-to glass of refreshing sweet tea. That relaxing glass of red wine on a Friday night to celebrate the end of a long week at work. They’re all so good and so needed at times, but did you know these beverages can make a mark on your smile, especially as years progress? We’re talking about staining and discoloration, which can happen to anyone at any age for a variety of reasons. And it’s not just coffee, tea, and red wine to blame. Soda, fruit juices, berries, tomato sauce, balsamic vinegar, and soy sauce can all dull your smile. 

It’s time we talked about smile whitening, because you can’t have a discussion about cosmetic dentistry in Crossville and not talk about one of its most popular treatments. It’s why patients from across Cumberland County, Fairfield Glade, and Lake Tansi come to Hooie Dental — where in just one visit we can remove years of staining from your teeth. We’re proud to offer our patients two different effective whitening brands in Sheer White!™ Strips and Opalescence. Schedule an appointment today to learn more about the benefits of smile whitening.

Dr. Donald Hooie is highly trained and certified at providing injectable rejuvenation treatments that provide relief from:

Botox® – You’ve probably heard about this one or even know one of your Cumberland County neighbors who’ve had a little Botox here and there. (Here’s another little secret: It’s more common than you think.) We can erase years from your appearance or soothe TMJ headaches using this safe, effective injectable therapy.

Xeomin® – Very similar to Botox, we can use this treatment to get rid of unwanted lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines. Xeomin is also used to block muscle movement in the areas that contribute to wrinkles and pain caused by your TMJ.

Juvederm® – This differs from our other injectable options because it’s considered a filler. Juvederm has a base of hyaluronic acid and is an effective treatment for adding fullness and vitality to facial features such as your lips, cheeks, and area around your mouth.
