The Confidence That Comes With Liking Your Smile
A smile you feel good about changes small moments all day long. You laugh in a photo at a Cool Springs restaurant without a second thought. You hold eye contact in a Maryland Farms meeting instead of keeping your mouth half-closed. Cosmetic dentistry is not about a perfect stranger's smile; it is about removing the specific flaws that pull your attention every time you catch your reflection.
For a lot of Brentwood patients, the change is one they have wanted for years: coffee and wine staining that whitening at home no longer touches, a chip on a front tooth, a gap that has bothered them since high school, or teeth slightly crooked enough to notice. We offer several ways to address each of these, and the right one depends on your teeth and your goals, not a one-size template.

The Cosmetic Services We Offer
Our cosmetic menu covers professional teeth whitening for staining and discoloration, cosmetic bonding for chips and small gaps, and porcelain veneers for a lasting reshape of the front teeth. Invisalign clear aligners straighten crooked teeth and correct minor spacing. For a comprehensive change, a smile makeover sequences several treatments into one plan designed around your face.
We also place tooth-colored crowns and bridges. These are restorative treatments that rebuild damaged or missing teeth, but they carry a real cosmetic benefit because they match your natural teeth rather than showing metal. We plan with 3D diagnostics, and sedation options including complimentary nitrous keep longer cosmetic visits comfortable. Any decay or gum issues get treated before cosmetic work begins, since healthy teeth are the foundation for a lasting result.
Who Cosmetic Treatment Suits
Cosmetic dentistry fits Brentwood patients with healthy teeth and gums who want to improve color, shape, alignment, or the overall look of their smile. The best first step is a complimentary consultation where we look at what bothers you and map the options, from the least invasive to the most comprehensive.
Not every goal calls for the most involved treatment, and we say so. If whitening alone would satisfy you, we will not steer you toward veneers. If your teeth are more crooked than bonding can mask, Invisalign may serve you better. We recommend the option that meets your goal with the least cost and commitment, then let you decide.
Meet Your Cosmetic Dentists
Dr. Rachel Oates, DDS, owns the practice and knew she wanted dentistry in the second grade. She earned her biology degree at the University of Georgia and her DDS at the Indiana University School of Dentistry, and her continuing education includes CAD/CAM training, Six Month Smiles, and the Spear program, all directly relevant to cosmetic design. Outside the office she bakes, hikes, follows college football, and volunteers with the Interfaith Dental Clinic and Loaves and Fishes.
Your cosmetic care may also involve Dr. Nisha Waits, Dr. Lidia Lilly, or Dr. Rose Keeling. All four practice family and cosmetic dentistry and share a natural-looking, patient-first approach to smile design. Having four dentists means a Brentwood patient can find a consultation time that fits a full schedule.
Getting Here From Brentwood
From central Brentwood, take Franklin Road (US-31) south. Stay on it as it passes the Cool Springs shopping district and continues into Franklin, where it becomes Main Street. Follow Main Street west through the historic downtown square, and our office sits a short distance past the square on the right at 1345 W Main St. From most Brentwood neighborhoods the drive runs about fifteen minutes.
Coming from the Concord Road or Wilson Pike side, take Wilson Pike south into Franklin, turn onto Main Street, and head west through downtown. Parking is free at the building. Cosmetic consultations are unhurried, so give yourself time to talk through options without watching the clock.

Frequently Asked Questions: Brentwood
Which cosmetic treatment is best for stained teeth in Brentwood?
A: If discoloration is your main concern, professional whitening is usually the first option and the most affordable. For staining that whitening cannot lift, such as deep internal discoloration, veneers or bonding may work better. We assess your teeth at a complimentary consultation and recommend the least invasive route that meets your goal.
Does dental insurance cover cosmetic dentistry?
A: Purely cosmetic work, such as whitening or veneers done only for appearance, is considered elective and is rarely covered. Restorative treatments like crowns done for decay may be partly covered even when they improve appearance. We verify your benefits and explain what applies before you commit.
How long does a smile makeover take?
A: It depends on the treatments involved. Whitening can be a single visit, bonding often one appointment, and veneers about two visits a few weeks apart. A full makeover combining several of these is planned in stages, and we map the timeline at your consultation so you can plan around work and family.
Can cosmetic dentistry fix crooked teeth without braces?
A: Often, yes. Invisalign clear aligners straighten many cases of crooked or spaced teeth without metal braces. For minor issues, veneers can mask the appearance of slight crookedness. Significant misalignment is usually better corrected with aligners than hidden behind veneers, and we will tell you which fits your case.
Do you offer sedation for anxious cosmetic patients?
A: Yes. Complimentary nitrous, also called laughing gas, is available at every appointment and wears off quickly with no lingering effect. For longer or more complex work we offer deeper sedation options. Tell us about your anxiety at the consultation and we will plan comfort measures around it.
