Advanced Dentistry In Nashville by Dr. Kent E. White

Kent E. White, DDS • Center for Advanced Dentistry

Consumers in Nashville are looking for something new, but also comprehensive with the potential to achieve their dental health goals whatever they may be. Dr. Kent E. White provides a level of dental care where every person looking for something better can find a home.

Dental Services Description: Trained in advanced preventive, restorative, and aesthetic dentistry, Dr. White's practice in Nashville offers a complete array of services, from the purely cosmetic to the critically restorative.

What interests Dr. Kent White the most, perhaps, is the idea of giving his patients the best of both worlds-a healthy and beautiful smile that not only prevents pain and decay, but also gives his patients confidence in their smile.

Dr. White has been in constant pursuit of the highest quality of care for his patients. By training at this pace and level, he is able to offer his patients a wide variety of high value services. With his artistic flair, skilled care and long-term perspective, perfection is the only result he strives for. His expertise in aesthetic enhancement, restorative care, neuromuscular dentistry and laser treatment translates into comprehensive, long lasting and natural-looking solutions for his patients.

His kind of expertise is very unique. It’s an approach that looks at other causes for neuromuscular pain and prevention of pain before focusing all the attention on teeth. Neuromuscular dentistry isn’t brand new, but the diagnostic technology has finally caught up with treatment.

As an Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology member, Dr. Kent White is interested in therapies that promote healing and health. Patients should have options that don’t create other health concerns.

It’s easy to prescribe the same medicines and remedies that dentistry has used for ages. Dr. White refuses to take that road. Silver/mercury fillings are controversial because some people believe the mercury causes toxic reactions.

Whether this can be proved beyond a shadow of a doubt doesn’t concern Dr. Kent White. He knows there are newer, healthier therapies to use instead of silver/mercury dental fillings.

Therefore, patients no longer need to worry about the possible effects of this commonly used dental substance.

What is Neuromuscular Dentistry? Dr. Kent E. White

Healing & Harmony through Art & Science.

“Neuromuscular dentistry is especially important for those who are considering a smile makeover or who are experiencing oral and facial pain.” Kent E. White, DDS

Correct Jaw Position

Neuromuscular Dentistry (NMD) differs from common dental practices. Traditionally and currently, dentists tend to focus on the teeth and joints. The neuromuscular approach goes further and bases much of its success on getting the muscles and nerves to coexist correctly between your teeth and joints.

By objectively and scientifically measuring muscle function in respect to jaw posture, and evaluating jaw movement and function, the optimal resting posture of your jaw can be determined.

Why is NMD so important?

Without the teeth, facial muscles and jaw joints in harmonious balance, people can develop painful complications: known by some as TMJ or TMD. The relaxing of muscles and tension often create an effect like a rejuvenating facelift. A more youthful look and enhanced comfort is the result.

Attention to Details

Achieving success requires time, patience and, most of all, covering all the bases. Utilizing computerized diagnostic tools, focusing on the details, and maintaining a high-level of training makes it possible to improve how people feel about their teeth, oral comfort and dentistry in general. Consistent, predictable results allow patients to experience relief from perhaps decades of pain.

Even if patients don't come with specific pain issues and are just seeking restorative and cosmetic enhancements, preliminary evaluations in the neuromuscular approach are followed to uncover any problems that might occur in a smile makeover.

Full-Mouth Treatment

Conservative full-mouth reconstruction (preserving as much natural tooth structure as possible) can reclaim your oral health. Full-mouth treatment is used in combination with NMD to attain oral/facial comfort and proper function for the long-term.

The NMD Focus

As Dr. Kent White of Nashville explains, "It is important to treat the whole patient not just their teeth. This is not one-tooth-at-time, erratic patchwork dentistry; neuromuscular dentistry with full mouth treatment is planned, enduring success, which includes a beautiful, natural smile.”

Melanie's Before & After

Melanie's NMD Success Story

"I was told I would need to take out one of my molars due to severe decay and I wanted to get a second opinion. I chose to completely redo my entire mouth. I saved my upper molar, corrected my cross bite, removed my silver fillings and had my smile restored and temporized all in one morning!"

Paula's Before & After

Paula's NMD Success Story

"I have been a headache sufferer for twenty years and had a ringing in my right ear. It has been over a year since I had my upper teeth restored and my bite changed to the correct neuromuscular position. I no longer have the intense - continuing headaches and tinnitus as I had over the years!"

Glenda's Before & After

Glenda's NMD Success Story

"This is the best thing I have ever done for myself. My bite was opened and moved forward. The years of nasal congestion, stuffiness and drainage was greatly reduced and I could breathe better than ever before. I had been to countless doctors over the years, was medicated and/or told there is nothing more we can do. I am amazed!"

Treatment Focus

Preventative Dentistry rather emergency based treatment.
Dental artistry rather than the dull grey of yesterday.
Empowered, informed patients making educated decisions in their best interest.
Name brand technology or product reputation is secondary...

Instead Dr. White's focus is on the training and education, which means he is able to provide the best treatment available.
i.e. Technology & Services are only as good as the doctor using them.

Treatment that considers your mouth and body as a whole rather than “tooth at a time” dentistry.

Our Overall Approach

Customized excellence.
End “one tooth at a time” dentistry.
Allow patients to “connect the value” of how the mouth affects the whole body
Empower patients to choose the best treatment plan rather than have dental insurance to guide your decision.
Provide comprehensive care with the latest in education, technology and science.
Craft customized treatment plan for all patients
Create the smile each patient needs, wants, dreams of having.
