Learn why people in the Memphis and Mid-South area trust the team at Southern Dental Implant Center in Cordova, TN.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are prosthetic tooth roots that are surgically placed in the jawbone. Once the implants have fused with the jaw tissue, they provide dentures, crowns, and bridges with virtually the same level of stability as natural teeth. That means you can eat any foods you like, speak clearly, and smile with pride, knowing that your replacement teeth will not shift out of place.
Here is why people throughout Memphis and the Mid-South area choose Dr. Collier in Cordova to place and restore their dental implants:
Quality Care
From Start to Finish
We do not compromise when it comes to quality, which is why we take care of every step of this procedure — from planning to creating and placing replacement teeth — in-house. Dr. Collier and his team are proud to say that the crowns, bridges, and dentures they provide have never fractured.
Exceptional Skill
& Techniques
Dr. Collier believes that a dentist's education doesn't end after he earns his DDS. That's why he undergoes many hours of continuing education to make certain that he is delivering the absolute best care to every patient; in fact, he won an ACE Award for having clocked more continuing education hours than any other doctor in Tennessee.
Ultimate
Comfort
As Dr. Collier's patient, undergoing life-changing dental work doesn't have to be painful. His practice provides intravenous (IV) sedation to help Memphis patients remain calm and comfortable during treatment. Using this method, the level of sedation can be instantly adjusted to ensure your absolute comfort at all times.
Why Dental Implants May Be Right for You Dr. Collier and Several Patients Discuss Implants
Countless people in various stages of their lives have benefited from getting dental implants. These artificial tooth roots can support crowns for singe-tooth replacement, bridges for multiple missing teeth, and a set of dentures for full-arch replacement. During a free consultation at our practice in Cordova, TN, our team will assess your candidacy for implants and develop a custom treatment plan that's right for you.
The Benefits of Dental Implants
Prevents Bone Loss
Since dental implants are anchored into the jawbone, they give the bone tissue something to support. This prevents bone atrophy around a tooth gap and along the dental arch.Stability Without Denture Adhesives or Creams
A removable denture can slip out of place while eating or speaking. Dentures held in place with dental implants are stable, which eliminates the need for dental adhesives and creams.Improved Dental Health and Function
With implants in place, you can bite, chew, and speak normally. You'll be able to enjoy your favorite foods again and speak without struggling to form certain words.Excellent Aesthetics
Custom implant restorations are designed to closely resemble the look of natural teeth. Our goal is to make the restorations appear so lifelike that no one notices you've undergone dental work.Are You Missing a Tooth or Multiple Teeth? Find Out If You're a Candidate for Dental Implants

I had a great experience at Southern Dental. I was able to get my implant done in one day. The second day I had a flipper made so I wouldn't be seen with a hole in my mouth. All the staff were very courteous and helpful. Office was easy to find, good parking, nice big sign out front, and very comfortable. I highly recommend this dental center if you need an implant.

"Always an enjoyable experience! Very professional & attentive. Would recommend Dr Collier and his team to any one!" Elizabeth Hansen
What Are Dental Implants Made Of? Implant Materials and Why They Matter
Biocompatible Materials
To ensure osseointegration occurs, implant materials are biocompatible. That simply means the material will not be rejected by your body's living tissue.
Titanium
For many years, titanium has been the go-to material for dental implants. In fact, scientists learned that titanium was biocompatible by accident. During the 1960s, Dr. Per-Ingvar Brånemark (the father of modern dental implantology) learned that titanium can fuse with bone during a microscopy study involving rabbits.
Zirconia
Materials have come a long way in recent decades. In addition to titanium, it's possible to get dental implants made of zirconia. Zirconia dental implants are completely white, which can improve the appearance of your smile. They are also metal-free, which is ideal for people with metal allergies or sensitivities.
Advanced Technology

Southern Dental Implant Center serving Memphis uses state-of-the-art CT scanning technology. This equipment allows us to create detailed 3D images of a patient's mouth. Our technology not only helps with implant placement and treatment planning — it can also increase the chances of long-term implant success.

View On GoogleWhat Does Implant Treatment Cost?
There are numerous factors that will influence the cost of your treatment, including the number of implants you need and whether your jawbone requires bone grafting prior to surgery. During your consultation with Dr. Collier in Cordova, he will patiently explain the scope of treatment you will require and provide an estimated cost.
It's important to understand that while basic dental insurance contributes to the cost of crowns, bridges, dentures, and some preparatory work, it does not cover dental implants. Because we believe in making this life-changing solution accessible to Memphis patients who can benefit from it, we work with CareCredit®, one of the largest and most popular medical lenders.
By financing your dental implant treatment through CareCredit, you can pay your out-of-pocket expenses in affordable monthly installments.
