How Far Is the Closest Peterson Office From Cedar Hill
Cedar Hill in north Hamilton County does not have a Peterson Family Dentistry office of its own. The Apison Pike Ooltewah office at 9325 Apison Pike #119 is the closer of the two locations and is about 25 to 35 minutes from most Cedar Hill addresses depending on starting point.
Many Cedar Hill patients combine a dental appointment with shopping at Hamilton Place mall or a meal in Ooltewah on the way home. The early morning and Friday morning slots have the lightest traffic.
Cosmetic Services Available for Cedar Hill Patients
The Apison Pike office offers the full cosmetic dentistry menu. Each consultation begins with a conversation about what you want to change.
Porcelain Veneers
Thin shells of porcelain bonded to the front of your teeth. Used to change shape, length, color, and alignment in one coordinated plan. Most cases take two to three visits. Porcelain veneers commonly last 10 to 15 years with good home care.
Professional Teeth Whitening
In-office whitening lifts stains from coffee, tea, red wine, smoking, and age in one same-day appointment. Take-home tray whitening over two to three weeks is also available.
Cosmetic Bonding
Tooth-colored composite resin used to repair chips, smooth uneven edges, close small gaps, and cover stains. Most cases are finished in one appointment.
Smile Makeovers
Combines two or more cosmetic procedures into one plan. The process starts with photos, x-rays, and a wax-up so you can see the planned result before any work begins.
Dental Crowns and Bridges
A porcelain crown on a damaged tooth produces a cosmetic result and often has restorative insurance coverage. A bridge replaces a missing tooth by anchoring to the teeth on either side
How a Cosmetic Consultation Works
The first appointment is a conversation. You tell us what bothers you. We take photos and x-rays if needed. Dr. Peterson examines your teeth and gums, talks through the options, and gives you a written plan with cost ranges before you leave.
You take the plan home and decide.
Insurance, Financing, and New Patient Specials
We file in-network with most major PPO insurance plans at the Apison Pike office. Elective cosmetic work is usually not covered. Restorative work with a cosmetic outcome often has insurance coverage. We verify your specific plan benefits before the consultation.
For patients without dental insurance, we offer two new patient specials: the $125 new patient exam and x-rays, and the $199 new patient exam, x-rays, and healthy mouth cleaning. Both are first-visit-only and cannot be combined with insurance.
For larger cases, we accept CareCredit financing.
