Jul 02, 2015 /prREACH/ -- Knoxville, TN cosmetic dentist Dr. Michael J. Solly is helping people get one step closer to finally having the smile of their dreams by offering free smile analysis appointments at his Knoxville-area office. This free smile analysis is available to current or future patients who are 18 years or older, and who complete a smile questionnaire on Dr. Solly’s website regarding their concerns about their current smile.
Dr. Solly is a highly trained cosmetic dentist with more than 25 years of experience. He helps patients with a wide variety of dental concerns finally get a smile they can feel confident in showing. Whether patients have simple misalignments with their teeth, or severe discoloration, damage, or even tooth loss, Dr. Solly has a procedure to remedy any dental condition.
Because every patient is different in terms of their current dental state and their preferences for a new smile, Dr. Solly uses a custom combination of restorative and cosmetic dentistry procedures to help them achieve their dream smiles. These include everything from porcelain crowns, tooth-colored fillings, and teeth whitening, to porcelain veneers, bonding, or event dental implants and Invisalign clear braces.
Before cosmetic procedures are completed, however, Dr. Solly ensures that the health of the mouth, teeth, and gums are in optimal condition, and he uses some of the latest dental technology to do so. He uses technology such as DIAGNOdent for the early detection of oral cancers or lesions, as well as PerioProtect for the non-surgical treatment of gum disease.
For patients who have apprehension or fear about receiving dental procedures, Dr. Solly offers sedation dentistry to help patient
Dr. Michael Solly, cosmetic dentist in Knoxville, TN is offering patients a more convenient option for receiving dental crowns with CEREC technology. CEREC, which stands for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Crowns, represents some of the latest dental technology that uses 3D imaging along with powerful, high-tech milling units to create custom ceramic crowns in the dental office while the patient waits.
Conventionally, patients who required a crown to restore their tooth were required to make anywhere from 1-3 visits to the dentist, which first involved an initial fitting and preparation, followed by receiving a temporary crown. The patient usually would return the week later to receive the crown that had been created by an external lab. If the crown did not fit properly, the patient would have to return yet again days or weeks later for an updated crown. With CEREC technology, Dr. Solly can offer patients custom crowns in one office visit, requiring just 2-3 hours of their time.
The CEREC procedure begins by taking digital impressions of the patient’s tooth, which eliminates the need for unfavorable impression material. The digital impressions are done with extreme precision, recording the exact measurements and anatomy of the tooth to create a virtual model of the tooth.
This digital impression is then used by the milling component of the CEREC machine that mills a color-matched block of ceramic material with diamond-coated milling units. Dr. Solly can then add finishing touches to this precise ceramic restoration by painting, polishing, or glazing it to give the patient the exact look that they desire. Within just 2-3 hours, the patient has a brand new and fully functioning crown.
In addition to offering CEREC technology for cosmetic dentistry in Knoxville, Dr. Solly is also highly trained in sedation dentistry, dental implants, Invisalign clear braces, and other cosmetic procedures such as teeth whitening, veneers, and more.
Dr. Michael Solly has been practicing dentistry for more than 25 years. He is a graduate of Emory University Dental School and also completed his undergraduate education at Florida International University. He is a member of the ADA, American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, the American Orthodontic Society, and the Tennessee Dental Association.
