Are you unhappy with your smile? Take a look at our cosmetic procedures that will improve the appearance of your teeth quickly and effectively.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin facings of tooth-colored porcelain that slip over a tooth to improve its appearance. At Donald G. Hooie, DDS we use these veneers as one of the most effective ways to cover imperfections such as chips, permanent stains and even crooked teeth. As your Crossville dentist, Dr. Hooie will begin by removing a thin layer of tooth enamel so that the veneer can be more easily bonded to the tooth. Once this is completed Dr. Hooie will make impressions of your teeth and send them to a dental laboratory where the veneers are produced. At your next appointment the newly created veneers will be bonded into place. Dr. Hooie uses a high quality tooth colored porcelain that is valued for both its beauty and durability. If you are searching for a practice that specializes in porcelain veneers in Crossville, TN, or the surrounding areas of Cookville and Knoxville, choose Dr. Hooie for the best in cosmetic dentistry.

Instant Orthodontics
Instant orthodontics is one of the newest advancements in dental technology available at Donald G. Hooie, DDS, and it makes getting straight teeth a fast and easy experience. Traditional orthodontic braces have many drawbacks such as abrasions caused by metal in the mouth, the painful tightening of the braces, the length of treatment, and the visibility of the braces themselves. Today all these concerns are addressed by the option of instant orthodontics.
Your Crossville dentist, Dr. Hooie, can use a complete set of porcelain veneers to give you a complete smile makeover. The procedure is quick, painless, and can be done entirely at our Crossville, TN office. On your initial visit you will have some enamel shaped and impressions will be made of your teeth. Then, when the veneers have been created, each one is bonded to its corresponding tooth. Using the veneers in this way, Dr. Hooie can reshape the profile of your teeth, making them more symmetrical, closing gaps, and covering imperfections. It is one of the easiest, most effective cosmetic procedures available. To have that perfect smile you’ve always wanted, contact our office for the highest quality instant orthodontics in Crossville, Cookville, or Knoxville.
Cosmetic Bonding
Cosmetic bonding can be used to restore function when teeth are broken or chipped, but it is also extensively used at Donald G. Hooie, DDS for patients who want a simple way to improve their smile. Cosmetic bonding uses a composite resin material that, unlike crowns, veneers, or bridges, can be applied during a single appointment. The first step when applying cosmetic bonding is to buff the teeth to be treated. This helps the material bond to your natural tooth. Then your Crossville dentist, Dr. Hooie, will coat the surface of your tooth with the resin and apply a special light in order to set it into its permanent position. Once this is completed the procedure is finished and your newly created smile should give you a look that perfectly blends with your natural teeth. They key to these results is taking the time to match the natural tooth color and shape, something that Dr. Hooie always takes great care while performing.

Teeth Whitening
The most noticeable feature and indicator of youth and oral health is without a doubt the color of your teeth.

If this is your situation, then visit Dr. Hooie, the dentist who can offer the easy and convenient teeth whitening in Crossville, TN.
Generic Home Whitening
Dr. Hooie can create a custom-fitted set of bleaching trays for you, to wear at your convenience. Schedule an appointment with our office and Dr. Hooie will make impressions of your teeth. Then within a week the trays will be ready. The trays are specially molded so that the bleaching solution contacts your teeth while gums and other sensitive surfaces remain protected. The bleaching solution penetrates into the tooth enamel, lightening its color. Noticeably whiter teeth can be seen after a single treatment, and you’ll see even better results as you continue to wear the trays regularly.

Gum Lifts
For gum lifts in Crossville, TN there is no better choice than Dr. Hooie. He uses this procedure to bring out the natural beauty of a patient’s teeth that is obstructed by excess gum tissue. Many people have a naturally low gum line, so it may appear as if they simply have very small front teeth. The reality, however, is that much of their crowns (the visible part of their teeth) are merely hidden behind the gums. The procedure itself consists of removing the unnecessary gum tissue usually without any need for numbing thanks to laser dentistry. The gums are sculpted so that, as well as providing the appearance of a longer tooth, the gum line is more even and the teeth are more symmetrical. The results have to be seen to be believed. If you would benefit from this procedure, call our office because Dr. Hooies is one of the premier providers of gum lifts in Crossville, as well as the surrounding communities of Cookville and Knoxville.
