Dental Implants in Nashville, TN
Replace missing teeth with long-lasting, natural-looking solutions
Missing one or more teeth? Dental implants restore the look, feel, and function of your smile with long-term reliability. At Belle Meade Family Dentistry, we provide full-scope dental implant solutions in Nashville, from single-tooth replacements to full-arch restorations like All-on-4.
Whether you’re struggling to chew, hiding your smile, or tired of loose dentures, our implant dentistry options offer a secure, life-changing upgrade.
What are dental implants?
Dental implants are small titanium posts placed in the jawbone to support a crown, bridge, or denture. Once healed, they function like a natural tooth root — stable, strong, and long-lasting.
Each implant consists of three parts:
- Implant post: Surgically placed into the jawbone
- Abutment: Connects the post to the visible restoration
- Crown, bridge, or denture: The visible tooth or teeth replacement
Benefits of implants over bridges or dentures
- Permanent solution — no slipping or adhesives
- Preserves bone and facial structure
- Restores chewing power
- Looks and feels like your real teeth
Easy to care for with brushing and flossing

● Implant-Supported Removable Dentures
A hybrid option that snaps into place using dental implants for added security — no more slipping.

Low bone density? We offer bone grafting to rebuild jaw structure and prepare for future implants.

Who is a candidate?
You may be a candidate for dental implants if you:
- Are missing one or more teeth
- Have good oral health and stable bone structure

Implant placement is a routine surgical procedure. For added comfort, we offer oral sedation, especially helpful for anxious patients or more complex treatments like All-on-4.
Cost and financing
Implants are an investment — but the results are worth it. The cost depends on the number of implants, type of restoration, and whether bone grafting is needed. We’ll provide a clear breakdown of treatment options and costs upfront.

FAQs
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care, implants can last decades — many for life. The restoration may need replacing over time, but the implant post itself is highly durable.
Are dental implants painful?
Placement is done under local anesthesia and can be combined with oral sedation. Post-op discomfort is typically manageable with medication and resolves in a few days.
Can I get an implant if I’ve had dentures for years?
Possibly. We’ll check your bone density and may recommend bone grafting before implant placement if there’s bone loss.
How do I care for my implants?
Treat them like natural teeth — brush, floss, and visit us for regular checkups and cleanings.
