It’s no secret that everyone wants a dental office that moves with the times. That’s why Dr. Gatgens and Dr. Densmore at Accent Smile Center blend innovation with a patient-first mindset to deliver modern care that doesn’t miss a detail! Their Dickson and Belle Meade offices are packed with solutions that go beyond the basics. Let’s explore a few standout services that turn routine visits into next-level care.
One-Day Restorations with Smart Tech & Seamless Design
When time is tight and the problem can’t wait, Accent Smile Center offers same-day solutions powered by advanced technology. Dr. Gatgens and his team combine CEREC and 3D printing technology to complete everything from quick repairs to full smile rebuilds in just one visit!
Same-Day Crowns with CEREC
- Digital scans replace traditional molds
- In-house milling crafts permanent, ceramic crowns while you wait
- Color-matched materials blend naturally with your smile
- The entire process is completed in a single appointment
Full-Arch Restorations with 3D Printing
For patients needing a complete restoration, the team combines multiple advanced services into one streamlined visit:
- Tooth extractions and bone grafting
- PRF therapy for faster healing
- Dental implant placement with photogrammetry
- Same-day 3D-printed temporary smile
3D printing is also used to create:
- Custom night guards
- Dental models (no impression trays needed!)
Whether you need a quick fix or a complete rebuild, the focus is always the same: get it done right, make it look natural, and keep it as convenient as possible. Next, let’s look at how Accent Smile Center uses your body’s own healing power to improve recovery after procedures.
PRF Therapy: Powering Up the Healing Process
Some treatments take your smile to the next level, and PRF helps your body keep up. Short for “Platelet-Rich Fibrin”, PRF uses a small sample of your blood to support healing after procedures like dental implants and extractions. It’s fast, natural, and helps reduce the usual post-op swelling and healing time.
Here’s how it works:
- A small blood sample is drawn during your visit
- That sample is spun in a centrifuge to isolate growth factor-rich PRF
- The PRF is applied directly to the surgical site to support healing
Here’s how it makes a difference:
- Faster tissue regeneration thanks to concentrated growth factors
- Lower infection risk – PRF forms a protective barrier over the wound
- Stronger bone-to-implant connections for long-term implant success
- No risk of allergic reaction since it comes from your own blood
Dr. Gatgens uses PRF to give patients a smoother, more comfortable recovery and better results after oral surgery. Up next, let’s look at how the team makes your experience calmer from start to finish.
Sedation Dentistry & NuCalm
Not every dental appointment feels like a walk in the park, but Accent Smile Center has a way of making it close! For patients who feel anxious or have longer procedures ahead, the team offers both traditional sedation and NuCalm, a drug-free relaxation system that helps take the edge off without grogginess.
What’s available:
- Traditional sedation: Ideal for those with moderate anxiety or more complex treatments
- NuCalm: A non-invasive system designed to mimic the body’s natural winding-down process, helping reduce stress without side effects
Why patients love it:
- Keeps nerves in check so you can focus on your care, not your stress
- Makes longer procedures feel shorter and more manageable
- Provides a more pleasant experience from start to finish
By offering different levels of relaxation, Dr. Gatgens and the team help you stay confident and comfortable through any treatment. Next, let’s explore how they’re using laser technology to make procedures quicker and less invasive.
High-Tech Precision with Laser Dentistry
When it comes to precision and comfort, Accent Smile Center’s laser technology is a game changer. These advanced tools allow the team to reshape soft tissues, treat gum disease, and speed up healing—all while minimizing post-procedure swelling and inflammation.
What makes their laser care stand out:
- Hygienists use lasers for gentle, effective periodontal treatments
- Lasers reduce inflammation, bleeding, and healing time
- Great for treating ulcers, lesions, and reshaping soft tissue
- Often eliminates the need for traditional surgical tools or anesthesia
Dr. Gatgens and his team use laser dentistry to make treatments faster, cleaner, and more effective. But the clinic’s care goes beyond teeth and gums. Let’s take a closer look at how they help patients sleep better and live more comfortably.
TMJ & Sleep Apnea Solutions
Did you know that dental care doesn’t stop at your teeth? For many patients, lasting comfort starts with a better night’s sleep or less tension in the jaw. Accent Smile Center offers targeted treatments for TMJ disorders and obstructive sleep apnea, helping patients feel better during the day and rest easier at night.
TMJ Care Includes:
- Custom oral appliances to reduce jaw strain and nighttime clenching
- Options to ease chronic tension, clicking, or headaches caused by bite stress
- Non-invasive support that fits comfortably while you sleep
Sleep Apnea Solutions:
- Alternatives to CPAP machines using oral appliance therapy
- Designed to keep airways open and reduce snoring or interrupted breathing
- Improves restfulness, energy levels, and overall quality of life
Dr. Gatgens and his team personalize each solution based on your symptoms and lifestyle, so you can get back to sleeping well and living comfortably. Next, let’s take a look at how Accent Smile Center customizes care beyond the procedure itself.
