Expert Dental Implant Procedures
Missing teeth can affect more than just your smile. They can impact your ability to eat, speak, and feel confident. At Nashville Periodontal Group, we specialize in advanced dental implant procedures that restore your smile with durable, natural-looking results.
Dental implants are a long-term, cost-effective solution for replacing missing or severely damaged teeth. Dr. Temlock places hundreds of implants each year, using cutting-edge technology to ensure a precise, predictable outcome. The process is straightforward: a small titanium post is secured to your jawbone, acting as a new tooth root. After a brief healing period, we attach a custom-made crown that looks and feels just like your natural tooth. Whether you need to replace a single tooth or an entire arch, we're confident that dental implants can provide a revolutionary solution.
Our Comprehensive Implant-Related Services
We provide a full range of procedures to ensure your implant treatment is a success, even in complex cases.
Tooth Extractions: When a tooth is beyond repair, we perform extractions with the utmost care. We uses modern techniques to preserve the surrounding bone and protect vital structures, promoting faster healing and preparing the site for a future implant.
Bone Grafting: After a tooth is removed, the jawbone can lose volume. We perform bone grafting to either preserve the existing bone or regenerate lost structures, ensuring there is enough healthy bone to support an implant.
Sinus Lifts: For patients needing implants in the upper back jaw, a sinus lift can create the necessary space and stability. This minor procedure augments the sinus anatomy to allow for safe and secure implant placement.
Orthodontic Appliance Placement: In some cases, we work with your orthodontist to assist with challenging tooth movements. We can place temporary anchors or retrieve impacted teeth to improve the final aesthetic result and reduce your overall treatment time.
We are dedicated to providing you with a seamless and comfortable experience, from your initial consultation to your final restoration. We'll thoroughly discuss all of your options and answer any questions you have, so you can feel confident in your treatment plan.
