Davis & Nix Family & Cosmetic Dentistry

Specialties: SERVICES

Our practice offers a full range of services to treat all of your general and cosmetic dental needs.

Restorative dentistry

Upon diagnosis of decay, you have several filling material options to restore your tooth. We place amalgam fillings (silver colored) most often in posterior/back teeth due to their ability to support larger biting forces. We also offer composite (tooth colored) fillings which are most often placed in front teeth but can also be placed in back teeth upon request. Another treatment option is ceramic or gold inlays and onlays. These are often good treatment options when the tooth has a large cavity but does not require a crown. These require two appointments and are cemented into the tooth.

Fixed crowns and bridges

If a tooth has broken, has a large restoration and then has recurrent decay, following a root canal on a back tooth or in other selected cases, or if there is a missing tooth surrounded by two teeth, the tooth/teeth requires a crown or bridge. Crowns and bridges can be made of all-ceramic, ceramic over a metal substructure or gold. This requires two appointments. During the first appointment the tooth/teeth are reduced a pre-determined amount based on the material the crown/bridge will be made of and an impression is made of your teeth. A temporary restoration is placed over the teeth that have been prepared and the impression is sent off to a dental laboratory… Established in 1950. Our practice was started in 1950 by Dr. Davis’s father and Dr. Nix’s grandfather, Dr. Roy G. Davidson, Jr. In 1990, Dr. Jennifer Davis joined her father in practice. They practiced together for seven years, and after forty-seven years of practice, Dr. Davidson retired in 1997. Prior to dental school, Dr. Davis was a registered nurse at Children’s Hospital and taught nursing school. Dr. Davis ran a solo practice until June 2007 when her niece, Dr. Melissa Nix joined her. Drs. Davis and Nix follow the same method of practicing dentistry that was established by Dr. Davidson which is to use the golden rule. We strive to treat each patient the way we would want to be treated if we were the patient instead of the dentist. We want to provide the best possible service to every patient and never sacrifice quality for any circumstance.
