Microscopic Hygiene
As advocates for your oral and overall health, we’re always taking proactive action to keep you healthy and avoid future, expensive dental work. That’s why Dr. Patel offers microscopic dentistry, which can screen you for harmful bacteria and periodontal disease. Just by taking a saliva sample and analyzing it under a microscope, Dr. Patel can find early warning signs of periodontal disease. This early detection helps us take action and prevent tooth loss and other oral-systemic health issues. What’s the cost of this screening? It’s free! We’d be happy to do it during your biannual dental checkups at no cost to you. It’s just another way to show our commitment to keep you healthy and smiling.
Oral Hygiene
You already know it’s essential to visit the dentist every six months. When you visit Nashville Dentistry Co., your hygiene visits are far from routine. We use this visit to:

  • Make sure your smile is healthy
  • Catch any signs of gum disease through microscopic dentistry
  • Identify any other potential issues with your smile

With dental hygiene, our hygienists are trained to remove plaque and tartar from your teeth that regular brushing and flossing cannot accomplish. Our dental hygienists will focus on:

  • Tartar and stain removal
  • Tooth scaling
  • Tooth polishing
  • Gum disease prevention
  • Cavity prevention
Patient Exams
Regular dental checkups are essential to keeping your oral health in good shape. During your exam, Dr. Patel and his team will assess the health of your teeth and gums using a modern intra-oral camera to inspect your mouth. This innovative piece of equipment projects images from inside your mouth onto a computer screen, so you can see what we see.

Because we care for your whole health, you will undergo an oral cancer screening using Velscope. We use these modern techniques to catch any early signs of cancer or disease, so we can prevent any serious problems.

Sealants

Brushing and flossing your teeth daily is vital to maintaining a healthy smile, but even with a solid routine, food or debris can get missed. This is especially true for our younger patients, where reaching every tooth can be difficult. To help with this, Dr. Patel offers sealants, a clear gel that fills in gaps or grooves on the tooth, preventing food and debris from becoming stuck and leading to plaque and decay.

Sealants involve a simple procedure in which Dr. Patel applies a clear plastic coating to your teeth and solidifies it with a special light. Once the sealant has hardened the tooth functions as normal.

Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride is an important key to maintaining oral health. Without enough fluoride, your teeth are more at risk of decay and plaque build-up. To help re-establish your fluoride we offer a quick treatment that involves applying a fluoride solution or gel to your teeth.

Fluoride treatments are safe and non-invasive and a great way to protect your teeth and maintain optimal oral health.

Periodontics
Along with your teeth, gums play an important role in optimum oral health. They are the foundation for keeping your smile healthy. If you don’t take care of your gums through regular dental checkups and everyday brushing and flossing, then you’re putting your oral and overall health at serious risk.

Your gum health directly impacts your overall health. Multiple studies have shown periodontal (gum) disease increases your chances for serious health risks, including:

  • Heart Disease
  • Stroke
  • Diabetes
  • Alzheimer’s Disease
  • And so much more

If your gums are bleeding, red, and receding, you could be experiencing early signs of periodontal disease. At Nashville Dentistry Co., we offer periodontal therapy (scaling & root planing) to improve the health of your gums. It consists of meeting with our friendly hygienists every 3-4 months where they will do a deep cleaning. They will gently clean your teeth and roots to get rid of any plaque and harmful bacteria infecting your gums.

Root Canals
If your tooth becomes badly damaged or infected, the only way to save it may be through a root canal. This procedure is used when a cracked tooth or dental cavity affects the inside of your tooth (the pulp). A root canal involves removing the infection or damaged area of the tooth, cleaning it, and then disinfecting it. Finally, Dr. Patel will fill and seal the tooth using a filling or crown.

In the past, root canals were painful, but with dental advances and sedation dentistry, this is no longer the case. You can restore your tooth with very little discomfort if any at all.

Mouthguards
Mouthguards can be both helpful for protecting your teeth and preventing major dental issues from occurring. We are pleased to offer two types of custom-fit mouthguards at Nashville Dentistry Co.:

Night guards: These mouthguards are to be worn at night and can help with many dental treatments such as teeth straightening, temporomandibular joint disorders, and sleep issues.

Sports guards: The American Dental Association recommends wearing mouthguards when playing sports. Our sports guards protect your teeth from trauma associated with a number of sports.
