- Dental ExaminationComing in for a dental exam at least twice a year allows our team at Cornerstone Dental Arts to keep your teeth healthy while evaluating your risk for any oral illnesses. At the end of your dental visit, our dentist will be able to answer any questions and provide you with a personalized treatment and hygiene plan.
- X-rays
- Oral Cancer ScreeningNearly 50,000 people will be diagnosed with oral cancer this year, and many will not be able to be successfully treated because the disease was caught too late. To prevent this from ever happening to you or a loved one, we will always include an oral cancer screening as part of our routine checkup.
- Teeth CleaningYour checkup will begin with a comprehensive dental cleaning by one of our skilled hygienists. They will remove any built-up plaque and tartar, take X-rays, and floss your teeth. While your hygienist is working, they will check for signs of any underlying problems.
- Fluoride TreatmentYes! Fluoride treatments can help strengthen your teeth while protecting them from decay. These treatments are available during your regular cleaning and examination. Fluoride treatments are not dangerous or painful and can provide long-lasting protection.
- Dental SealantsDental sealant is a thin, plastic coating painted on the chewing surfaces of teeth — usually the back teeth (the premolars and molars) — to prevent tooth decay. The sealant quickly bonds into the depressions and grooves of the teeth, forming a protective shield over the enamel of each tooth.
- Fillings
- Resin CompositeWith tooth-colored fillings, we can repair small cavities and slightly damaged teeth in a way that doesn’t alter your smile’s appearance. With older filling materials, they always left a large, noticeable gray streak on your teeth. Tooth-colored fillings are actually made of a composite resin, which means they can be specially shaded to perfectly match the color of your other teeth, making them practically invisible.
- VeneersWhether you have chipped, cracked, stained, or slightly crooked teeth that prevent you from smiling a big, proud smile, our skilled team of cosmetic dentists can help. We can renew your smile and help you regain your confidence with beautiful porcelain veneers that can transform discolored, misshapen teeth into a flawless smile.
- CrownsFor your convenience, we have also implemented modern, time-saving technology. CEREC one-visit crowns eliminate the need for a second visit and offer numerous other benefits. In addition, we can create wax-up models at our in-house laboratory, which shortens the waiting period and ensures quality results. For patients who need multiple procedures in one visit, we offer several methods of sedation, including IV sedation, depending on your unique needs.
- BridgesHowever, if you have a few missing teeth in a row, we can use a dental bridge to replace them. We’ll apply dental crowns to the teeth on either side of the gap in your smile, and these will be attached to prosthetic teeth that literally “bridge” the space between them.
- Dental BondingIt’s amazing how much of a negative effect a small chip or crack can have on your entire smile. Luckily, we have a quick, easy, and effective treatment that can fix it in just about an hour or less. It’s called cosmetic bonding, and it works by having your dentist apply a putty-like composite resin to your tooth. They’ll use it to sculpt away any imperfections, and after your approval, they’ll quickly harden it with a curing light. Afterward, it will look like nothing ever happened to your tooth!
- Restorative DentistryRestorative dentistry can do amazing things for patients these days, and with the skillset available at Cornerstone Dental Arts, there is no limit to who we can help. No matter what your smile may look like now, we guarantee that we can give you a beautiful, healthy, and functional set of teeth that will improve your life every day.
- Root Canal TreatmentRoot canal therapy, despite its reputation, is actually one of the best tools our practice has to relieve severe dental pain and save teeth that would otherwise need to be removed. It is typically used to treat teeth that have damage or an infection deep in their innermost chamber. Thanks to modern dental techniques, root canals are now completely painless, and the experience is comparable to that of getting a filling.
- DenturesDentures have been used for generations to replace multiple missing teeth, and the reason for that is simple: they work! Now, modern-day dentures are smaller, sleeker, and more natural-looking than ever before, providing the best results when it comes to both comfort and aesthetics. If you are missing teeth throughout your mouth, a partial denture can seamlessly replace them. However, if you have an entire row of missing teeth, we can easily restore them using a full denture.
- Dental ImplantsA new technique, called Yomi, is now available to Cornerstone Dental Arts patients. Dr. Griffin has been specially trained to perform this robot-guided dental implant surgery.
- Oral Surgery
- Tooth ExtractionsWhile everything we do at Cornerstone Dental Arts is intended to help preserve your natural smile, sometimes the best course of treatment may involve removing one of your teeth. This may be the case if...
- OrthodonticsIf either you or your child has crooked teeth, it’s easy to think of them as just a cosmetic problem. They aren’t really causing you any trouble, and your child will probably just grow out of it, right? Unfortunately, this is often not true in either case.
- Invisalign OrthodonticsFor adults and teens, we can offer Invisalign®. Invisalign® uses clear plastic aligner trays to straighten the teeth, and this helps a patient maintain their natural appearance throughout treatment.
- BracesWhen it comes to fixing a wide variety of orthodontic issues, nothing is more trusted, reliable, and durable than traditional metal braces. This treatment is ideal for younger patients because it is cost-effective and can handle the rough and tumble life of a child. Modern-day braces are much smaller and sleeker than the ones from the past, making them much less obvious and more comfortable at the same time. Plus, for our youngest patients, they can even choose from a selection of brightly colored rubber bands so that they can personalize their treatment.
- Teeth WhiteningWith just one quick in-office treatment, we can eliminate years of deep stains and make your smile shine brighter than it ever has before. In fact, thanks to our KOR Teeth Whitening system, we’ll be able to offer you more dramatic and longer-lasting results than any other professional whitening treatment.
- Cosmetic DentistryCosmetic dentistry is everywhere – it’s on the faces of many people you meet, though you may not know it. According to the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, there were over 3 million cosmetic dental patients just in 2016! If you’re considering cosmetic dental enhancements, you aren’t alone! Another AACD study tells us that people with an attractive smile appear more intelligent, successful, friendly, interesting, and kind. At Cornerstone Dental Arts, we can provide the beautiful changes to your smile that you’ve been dreaming of.
- General DentistryHere 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.
