Implants

Are you missing teeth?  If you are, Drs. Pace, Sullivan and Pace would love to take a look to see if dental implants would be right for you.  A dental implant is a titanium prosthesis that simulates the root of a natural tooth.  Rather than wearing a removable partial denture or removing enamel on healthy teeth adjacent to spaces, an implant replaces a missing tooth, allowing the patient to floss between their teeth and maintain the bone height that exist in a healthy jaw.  There are over 70 consequences to having missing teeth that can negatively affect your dental health.  Some consequences are not immediate but can still have severe impacts on your overall health given time to develop.  Long term studies have shown consistent success rates of dental implants to be above 97% and are far superior to any other method of tooth replacement.  For patients with no teeth, implants provide both removable and fixed restorative options that are superior to conventional dentures and provide our patients with full function.   CT scans can be used to enable our team to use three dimensional replications of your jaws to successfully treatment plan and perform dental implant procedures.  We would love to discuss teeth anchored by implants at your dental visit.  Drs. Pace, Sullivan and Pace are Nashville dentists with extensive training and experience in this form of tooth replacement.
