If you were to name any number of problems you have with your smile, chances are there is one cosmetic solution that could solve them all. We’re talking about veneers, the quick cosmetic fix that lasts long after you get them!
Our team at Beck Dental Care have seen lives changed for the better time and again thanks to veneers and how they transform smiles. We aren’t exaggerating when we say that veneers can fix a whole host of dental problems.
Today, we’re pointing out just some of the most common issues we see in our Columbia, TN dental office and how
veneers
can correct them all for a radiant smile that lasts and lasts!
Before we let our excitement carry us away, let’s make sure we tell you what veneers are and what the general veneers process involves.
Veneers are for your smile sort of like acrylic nails are for your hands. You go to a salon and get a layer of material placed onto your fingernail and then shaped and polished for a beautifully enhanced look. The same thing happens when you get veneers, only your tooth is covered by a thin porcelain shell bonded in place to your enamel in a way that looks and feels like a natural tooth.
Despite the delicately thin veneer, it’s strength and durability is remarkable! When it’s over, you have a more attractive, flawless smile!
The process begins with a consultation with one of our highly-skilled, experienced professionals. From there, you work as a team to discuss your smile flaws and the best treatment plan to correct them in a way that suits your needs and your budget.
You might go with traditional porcelain veneers, or your unsightly smile problems might be minimal and would be better improved by our no-prep veneers. Whichever is best for your individual needs, you’ll end up with the smile you’ve always wanted.
Now for the kinds of problems veneers can fix!
Veneers Hide Stains And Discoloration
If your teeth are stained or discolored, you might think that a simple teeth whitening treatment will do the trick. And maybe it will! But there are some stains that are more resistant to that method.
Veneers can hide years worth of stubborn stains that have left your teeth dingy for a dazzling, brighter smile.
Veneers Correct Misshapen Teeth
Not everyone is blessed with perfectly shaped teeth. Thankfully, veneers can be bonded to an awkwardly shaped tooth and then shaped to perfection so your smile looks natural and balanced.
Veneers Cover Cracks In Your Teeth
Even though we put veneers into the cosmetic dentistry category, it can also serve a restorative function as well. It’s one of the many impressive things about dental veneers. A cracked tooth can pose a threat to your oral health, and if left untreated,can grow larger and affect your overall health, too. Veneers can cover unsightly cracks so it not only looks great but remains strong and protected for years to come.
Veneers Fix Chipped Teeth
Sometimes, normal wear and tear or habits like crunching on ice cubes can lead to chips that can taint your entire smile. While we can normally fix something like this with tooth bonding, this isn’t as strong or as lasting a solution as veneers. Like the other flaws we’ve talked about, veneers offer a layer of protection to your chipped tooth so it doesn’t get worse.
Veneers Fill The Gaps In Your Smile
Just because you have gaps between your teeth doesn’t mean you have to spend years wearing braces to pull those teeth tightly together. Veneers can be placed on either side of a gap to close it up and make it look like you spent years undergoing orthodontic treatment!
You can begin with a cosmetic consultation at Beck Dental Care to find out if veneers are the right solution for the problems with your teeth. If you have chips, cracks, gaps, or stains, dental veneers can hide, cover, and protect your smile for a decade or more with proper care and maintenance.

It’s mid-September, and we’re once again heading into one of the most beautiful of all four seasons. Autumn shows us one of nature’s breathtaking transformations with the colorful landscape of changing leaves throughout the lovely state of Tennessee!
It’s no wonder why fall is such a popular time for weddings and other special events with the cool, comfortable weather and the stunning outdoor views. It’s also the start of one of the busiest times of year with several holidays in close, rapid succession.
That makes now the perfect time to start thinking about a new smile for a new season with
cosmetic dentistry
at Beck Dental Care! We want to help your smile look its best for all those photo ops at your upcoming events. You’ll look great, feel more confident, and you’ll be able to look back on all the memories you captured and feel good about your gorgeous smile!
It may seem too early to even think about the holidays, but let’s be honest. You know that just when you get a chance to enjoy the smell of hot apple cider, bonfires, and the annual trip with the kids on a hayride through the pumpkin patch, it’s all Christmas all the time. And those weekends fill up quickly with family gatherings, football games, baking, decorating, and shopping.
That’s why it makes sense to make sure your smile is ready before all the craziness of the next couple of months kicks into overdrive. Take a minute to enjoy nature’s seasonal transformation, and imagine how you could transform your smile into the beautiful one you’ve always wanted!
Here are just a few of the ways you can get a more attractive smile in time for the new fall season.
Teeth Whitening
– Nothing improves your smile quite as easily and quickly as professional teeth whitening. You can remove years of stains from drinking coffee, soda, or red wine. Or treat discoloration that simply comes from aging and look years younger after!
Whatever dulled the color of your teeth, you can brighten your smile dramatically in as little as one week when you come to our Columbia, TN dental office. We have professional strength
whitening treatment
that can give you the kind of results those over-the-counter kits can never deliver.
The greatest part is that you can determine the shade and the pace of your treatment thanks to our convenient take-home whitening system.
Dental Bonding
– What if your smile needs a little more help than just whiter teeth? A whiter smile is great, but it won’t do anything about gaps between your teeth or nicks and cracks to the surface of your teeth.
The good news is that dental bonding can correct those smile imperfections, and the process is incredibly easy and affordable. Dr. Beck bonds a composite resin to your enamel and then artistically shapes it to give you a brighter, more attractive smile.
Tooth Contouring / Gum Reshaping
– Maybe you’re satisfied with the color of your teeth but just have that one awkwardly shaped tooth that draws attention to itself. Or perhaps you’re tired of looking at pics shared on social media of you and your friends because all you can focus on is how your teeth look way too small compared to your gums.
Tooth contouring and gum reshaping can give your smile a more balanced, uniformed look so you can smile with confidence the next time your friends rush up to you for a group selfie during a fun night out.
Now is the perfect time for you to come to our Columbia, TN dental office for a cosmetic consultation with one of our talented dentists. You have a few weeks before the fall weddings begin and a few more weeks after that for the holiday season to kick into gear.
Why not sit down with one of our professionals to talk about your cosmetic options before your social calendar starts to fill up?

Today’s infographic highlights some of the major advantages of a
professional teeth whitening
treatment in our Columbia dental office over the kinds you’ll find in stores.

A visit to your dentist is more beneficial than you may realize. Yes, it’s important for maintaining clean and healthy teeth and gums. But the reasons to see your dentist regularly go beyond that.
At Beck Dental Care, your oral health is our top priority. That’s why we do all we can to provide you with high quality care in our Columbia, TN dental office. It’s also why we want to share today’s blog with you.
You can get more out of your trip to the dentist’s office than you might think. Today, we’re sharing the top five reasons to visit the dentist so that you’re more aware of the various services available to you for your healthiest smile and your best life!
Prevention
is key to a safe, healthy smile. New patients tend to be surprised when they realize the variety of preventive dental services we offer, so we want to make sure you know about the number of ways we can help you be more proactive about your oral health.
In our Columbia dental office, you can take advantage of preventive services such as:
-Athletic mouthguards to keep your mouth safe from injury

Preventing dental problems before they start is your smile’s first line of defense, and Beck Dental Care is happy to help you in that effort!
Cosmetic dentistry can do far more than just improve the appearance of your smile. When you have an attractive smile, you feel good about the way you look. That boost in self-confidence can give you the courage to pursue your goals and dreams.

-Teeth Contouring

If the flaws in your smile are more extensive, you can straighten your teeth with short-term, effective orthodontics or opt for incredibly transformative dental veneers!
Did you know that your dentist can actually help improve your sleep? If you snore loudly night after night, wake up with a sore throat most mornings, feel groggy throughout the day, or have noticed unexplainable weight gain and increased irritability, maybe it’s time you considered getting tested for
sleep apnea
.
Sleep apnea is a condition where your airways become blocked repeatedly while you sleep. You’re not only sleep deprived, but you’ll likely have a whole range of debilitating and potentially dangerous symptoms along with it. Let us help you get to the bottom of your loud snoring and daily fatigue with proper diagnosis and treatment for sleep apnea!
Damaged teeth need to be repaired for the sake of your smile and your oral health. Letting even minor dental problems go untreated can have disastrous consequences down the road.
Come to Beck Dental Care when you have:
-Pain in your tooth or jaw
-Cavities
-Signs of gum disease or tooth decay
-Failed restorations
-Missing teeth
-Chipped or cracked teeth
By addressing small oral health issues now, you’re saving yourself a lot of hardship and pain in the long run. Let our highly-skilled team help you with our restorative dentistry!
If you’re brushing your teeth twice a day and flossing at least once a day, you’re already on the right track for a clean, healthy mouth. But your diligence with oral hygiene by itself isn’t enough to ensure good oral and overall health.
You need our help, a team of trained professionals who have the knowledge, experience, and the tools to accurately detect, diagnose, and treat dental problems like early gum disease, decay, and infection.
Many problems with your oral health don’t come with noticeable symptoms. That’s why it’s important to rely on us to give your mouth a deep cleaning and thorough exam at least twice a year.
Research continues to prove a connection between your oral health and overall health. By staying on top of those routine checkups each year, you’re protecting the rest of your body from the dangers of oral infection.
You have plenty of reasons to pay us a visit! Your smile will thank you!

Summer isn’t just about getting outside and soaking up the fresh air and sunshine. It’s also the season for movie blockbusters. This is a fairly recent phenomenon that’s widely attributed to Will Smith’s wildly successful breakout movies that opened in theatres during the summer months in the early years of his film career.
Movies like Independence Day and Men In Black paved the way for ensuing summer blockbusters throughout the last couple of decades that involve heroic characters fighting off all kinds of villains, both realistic and fantastical.
So summer entertainment is punctuated by a celebrated idea of the victorious superhero. And that’s what inspires today’s blog from our team at Beck Dental Care!
We offer a variety of options in
sedation dentistry
, and we thought it was important to talk about what makes sedation a superhero in dentistry and a powerful, transformative tool for our patients.
The purpose of sedation is to help patients feel relaxed during medical procedures, which is a wonderful thing because, as we’re sure you’ll agree, undergoing medical treatment no matter how simple or complicated isn’t the most fun way to spend our time!
Since everyone’s level of fear and anxiety varies from person to person, it’s really helpful when a dentist can offer options to suit your needs for feeling comfortable. That’s why we offer nitrous oxide, oral sedation, and IV sedation. Depending on your dental needs, you can choose the sedation method that will work best for you.
Why is this important? It’s important because you might be so fearful of going to the dentist that you avoid routine dental cleanings and exams. Good oral hygiene at home is important, but on its own, it’s not enough to help you avoid gum disease, for example. You need a skilled dental professional with the knowledge and equipment to properly diagnose and successfully treat gum disease in all its various stages.
Sedation options have the power to get your oral health back on track because it gives you the courage to get the dental treatment you need to in order to get and stay healthy.
Your physical health is important, no doubt about it. But that’s not to suggest that your emotional and psychological health aren’t equally important. Take stress, for example. Some studies suggest that as much as 80%, if not more, of chronic health problems can be traced back to stress. That’s a pretty powerful claim, but if it’s true, we have to then assume your state of mind has a direct connection to your physical well-being.
So then it’s valuable to talk about the impact a low level of self-confidence can have on your life. If you think about all the ways insecurity and self-consciousness affect your actions, it makes perfect sense! When you’re embarrassed by the problems with your smile, you’ll let it keep you from pursuing what you want out of life.
You might avoid opportunities such as going after a promotion, making friends with new and interesting people, or even taking a risk with a romantic relationship. All of these pursuits can add value and meaning to your life, but without the confidence to go after them, they will inevitably remain always out of reach.
Sedation dentistry helps you not only have a healthy mouth, but it can help you take that next step in getting the cosmetic dental work you might need to transform your smile. If you have the courage to undergo cosmetic procedures, imagine how beautiful your smile could be and what that might do to boost your self-confidence!
If you’re ready to have your healthiest, most beautiful smile, then it’s time to explore our options in sedation dentistry at Beck Dental Care! Our team of caring professionals is ready to help you figure out which sedation method will work best for you so that you can finally enjoy your best life. Sedation is a powerful tool, and it’s within your reach right in our Columbia dental office!

Summer is barely upon us, so it may seem strange to already start talking about the holidays. Warmth, sunshine, sipping ice cold refreshing drinks while sitting poolside as the kids splash around… this is the kind of scenario at the forefront of our minds. Not jingle bells, Jack Frost, twinkling lights, and crowded shopping malls.
But if you’re an adult who has ever wished you had straight teeth, it’s the perfect time to start thinking about the holiday season! That’s because at Beck Dental Care, we offer an orthodontic treatment that is ideal for adults who want a cosmetic solution to their crooked smile in much less time it would take for traditional braces.
That solution is
Six Month Smiles
, and it may be the perfect orthodontic option to get your smile picture perfect for your holiday party lineup! Call our Columbia, TN dental office today to get started on your six month journey and give yourself the gift of a beautiful smile this Christmas.
Then check out the gifts that a treatment like Six Month Smiles can give you!
Everyone loves a good party, especially around the holidays! But if you’re someone who is embarrassed about your smile, an invitation to a special event, whether it’s a date, a Christmas or New Year’s party, or just a fun night out with friends to enjoy the festive season, is no reason to celebrate!
It’s actually the opposite, in fact. You feel two opposing emotions, one of longing and one of dread. On one hand, you’d love to go out and enjoy yourself. On the other hand, you just dread the thought of spending an entire evening feeling self-conscious and putting forth all that effort and energy into hiding your smile because of crooked or gapped teeth.
With the help of Six Month Smiles, you can have an attractive, confident smile that makes you want to get out there and show yourself off! You’ll love your new and improved, straight smile and will excitedly embrace all those holiday invites without feeling conflicted.
One of the things that makes Six Month Smiles unique in the world of orthodontics, besides the duration of treatment, is that it only focuses on the teeth that show when you smile. This means you don’t have to deal with braces on your back molars that can sometimes cause discomfort.
These braces also give you peace of mind. What we mean is that because they use clear braces and tooth-colored wires, you can feel more comfortable wearing them for a few months knowing that most people will hardly notice you’re undergoing orthodontic treatment at all!
As the name implies, Six Month Smiles is a huge time saver! Traditional braces can take anywhere from two to three years, so six months is a far more convenient option for adults who have waited long enough to have a smile they love. You’re ready to move on and start enjoying life free from the emotional distress you experience when you’re embarrassed to smile.
So if you get started now, you can skip the long treatment and years worth of maintenance appointments to get them tightened and have a straight, beautiful smile before you can say Merry Christmas!
You may be surprised to learn that Six Month Smiles is an affordable orthodontic treatment comparable to traditional metal braces, and even more affordable than the clear aligner therapies currently on the market.
So not only are you getting your money’s worth in a shorter amount of time, you can still get the smile you’ve always wanted without breaking the bank as the holiday shopping season approaches!
While you’re planning your days of fun in the sun, make sure you add a visit to Beck Dental Care somewhere on your to-do list soon! We’re excited to help you start your six month journey for a sensational new holiday smile!
