Nashville Recommends Us for Dental Implants
Southern Dental Implant Center might be new to the Nashville area, but we’ve built a reputation for excellence through two decades of experience at our flagship Memphis location. Led by Dr. Jason Collier, one of Tennessee’s leading dental implant surgeons, we bring advanced implant technology, unique sedation options, and exclusive treatments like Smile XZ — a sophisticated approach to All-on-4® treatment — that are only available at Southern Dental Implant Center. Dr. Collier, a board-certified associate fellow of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, is highly respected and known for his precision, skill, and dedication to consistently stunning patient outcomes. He now brings his expertise to Nashville, ensuring patients receive the same high level of care that has made our Memphis location a trusted name.
Joining him at our Brentwood, TN, practice is Dr. William Locante, a highly respected implant dentist with decades of experience serving the Middle Tennessee community. Dr. Locante has been a trusted provider in the Nashville area for decades and is known for how he takes time to answer questions, his attention to patient comfort, and the quality of his results. Southern Dental Implant Center provides free consultations. Why not come by and find out for yourself why patients from Memphis to Nashville are glad they chose us for their care?
The Smile XZ All-on-4 Method A Full-Arch Denture on Four Implants
Smile XZ is a variation on the All-on-4 technique, designed by Dr. Collier. It can support a full denture on the upper arch or lower arch using just four strategically placed dental implants. In many cases, this approach can allow a patient who would otherwise need a bone graft to undergo dental implant placement without a preliminary surgery. During your consultation, your dentist in Memphis, TN, or Nashville, TN, can determine if you're a candidate for Smile XZ.

The Cost of Dental Implants
Throughout the U.S., the average cost of replacing a single tooth with a dental implant can cost $3,000-$4,500. Because this is such a customized treatment, the best way to get a sense of how much you can expect to pay for treatment is to request a free consultation with Dr. Collier or Dr. Locante.
The cost of your treatment will depend on factors including:
- The number of implants you need
- Preparatory procedures like bone grafting
- The materials used for your implants and replacement teeth
To help you budget for treatment, we participate with Cherry and CareCredit®, two trusted third-party lenders who can give you access to low-interest credit lines. We can also work directly with your insurance provider to help you collect reimbursement for all eligible phases of treatment.
We Make Real Transformations Happen
How Dental Implants Work
Dental implants are replacement tooth roots. When using implants to replace a single tooth, for example, three parts make up the complete replacement:
The implant
Which is surgically placed in the jawbone
The abutment
A connector piece that is attached to the top of the implant
The crown
A replacement tooth that connects to the abutment
The Preferred Solution
For the right candidates, dental implants are the best tooth replacement solution because:
- They are the only restorative solution that can stop the bone atrophy that occurs following tooth loss.
- They keep dentures firmly in place at all times, restoring the ability to chew and speak without any shifting.
- Although crowns, bridges, and dentures will eventually wear out, the implants themselves can last a lifetime with proper care.
A Multi-Step Treatment
It usually takes three to six months to complete treatment, which involves these steps:
- Your implants will be placed in the jawbone. A lifelike temporary prosthetic will be attached, so you leave our office with a complete smile on the same day as your implant surgery.
- A healing period of three to six months will allow your implants to fuse to the jawbone.
- During a second surgery, your dentist will place an abutment on each implant.
- After another healing period of a few weeks, you can return to our office where your dentist will place your permanent implant-supported crown, bridge, or denture that we created in our in-house smile design lab.
Are You a Candidate
for Dental Implants?
Many patients who have been told they aren't eligible for implants are surprised to learn they may still qualify. Whether you've worn dentures for years, have experienced bone loss, or have other oral health concerns like gum disease, Dr. Collier and Dr. Locante can evaluate your situation and discuss solutions. Treatments like bone grafting and the Smile XZ technique have expanded candidacy for patients throughout Nashville and Brentwood who previously had limited options. The best way to find out if you qualify is to request your free consultation.
We Place Titanium and Zirconia Implants
Implants are traditionally made of titanium, but we also offer full zirconia implants to accommodate patients with metal allergies. During your free initial consultation, our Nashville dentists can review your medical history and discuss your needs to determine all the right options for your dental implant treatment.
FAQ About Dental Implants in Nashville
How much do dental implants cost in Nashville?
On average, a single dental implant costs $3,000 to $4,500. A complete set of implants ranges from $20,000 to $45,000, depending on your treatment plan. We partner with CareCredit and Cherry to offer low-interest payment plans that make treatment accessible. We are also a Medicare provider.
Am I a candidate for implants if I have bone loss?
Many patients with bone loss are still candidates for implants. Bone grafting can rebuild lost jawbone structure, and techniques like Smile XZ are designed to work with less available bone than conventional implant methods. Dr. Collier and Dr. Locante will review your health history during your free consultation and recommend the best path forward.
What's the difference between Smile XZ and All-on-4?
Smile XZ uses 3D imaging and computer-guided surgery for more precise implant placement, includes same-day provisional teeth, and finishes with a high-strength zirconia restoration created in our in-house lab. Traditional All-on-4 varies by provider and may involve freehand placement, outsourced lab work, and acrylic restorations.
Can I get same-day teeth at your Brentwood office?
Yes. With Smile XZ, you can receive a functional set of provisional teeth on the same day as your implant surgery at our Brentwood, TN, office. After a healing period of three to six months, you'll return for your permanent zirconia restoration.
Do you offer sedation for dental implant surgery?
Yes. Our Nashville practice offers both IV sedation and oral conscious sedation dentistry options so you can remain comfortable throughout your procedure. Dr. Collier and Dr. Locante have advanced training in sedation techniques to ensure your safety and comfort.
