I just got done getting a previously defective crown replaced (from a terrible previous dentist). Dr. Unland and his staff are beyond incredible. They made me comfortable and did an awesome job. I never leave positive reviews, but this staff deserve the praise. Dr. Unland even took a selfie with me while doing the procedure. What a cool guy! Thanks again for a great job.

I love coming here! I have been a patient here for over 2 years and have moved twice (I now live about 40 mins away) but I still come here to let them take care of my teeth. Everyone in the office is nice and friendly. Dr. Unland is very approachable and knowledgeable. I know getting dental work done isn't enjoyable but they try to make the experience good for you.

MARK ANDERSON
I have been seeing Unland Dental Center for 5 years and have enjoyed every visit. The staff is always friendly and easy to have conversations with. When the appointment is for say 4:00, I will be in the chair at that time. I have never had to wait. He is very good at what he does, and I have had no complaints on any of his work. I would recommend him to anyone, and I will continue to go back as long as I live here. Please contact me if you have any questions. Thanks!

COURTNEY STRONCZEK
I have been a patient of Dr. Unland's for over a year now. His staff is always friendly. The quality service starts just as you walk in the front door with the receptionists, to the dental assistants, Dr. Unland & most especially with the insurance clerks when it comes to figuring out your bill. They are very eager to explain what your insurance will or wont cover -- so you aren't caught off guard. When it comes to working on my mouth -- I am a big wimp!! But the assistants & Dr. Unland always put me at ease. I would most definitely recommend Dr. Unland & his staff to anyone with a beautiful smile!!
DIANE BELCHER

Dr. Unland, Anna, JoAnn, Teresa, Tracey, Kandis, Tammy and everyone on staff treat us more like family than patients. We constantly recommend them to our family and friends - all of whom have felt as welcome and well-cared for as we do. They have a state of the art facility and use the latest dental techniques to promote our dental health and keep us smilin'. They work as a team to provide excellent service - not only in cleanings and other services, but also with insurance, billing questions and appointment reminders.
There have been times when we had emergency dental needs - and they are always very accommodating. THE MABRYS HIGHLY RECOMMEND THESE FINE FOLKS!!!

PARCILLA TURNER-BENNETT
Personal, professional & so responsive! I've been with Dr. Unland for 12 years now & he and his team are just as friendly & responsive as his 1st year taking over the practice.
I've had several crowns and several unexpected teeth issues & his staff worked hard to get me in quickly & take care of it.
Coolest thing ever is their ability to do a crown all in one day: 2 1/2 hours! No temporary, no 2nd appointment in a few weeks when crown is ready.
KATHY COMBS
Always a wonderful experience with Dr. Unland and his staff!

MINCY HINES
Dr. Ted Unland did my veneers 10 years ago and they still are perfect. I had to get a extraction earlier this year with no pain at all. He's also got all the best equipment used out there. See you soon... or at least I hope not in the chair.
JEFFREY BREEDLOVE
Best dentist around!
JAMIE PAULICK HALE
My family and I have been going to Dr. Unland for years now. He has a very friendly staff and they are always accommodating to my schedule.
I referred my mother to him this year. When she was a child her teeth were stained from the medicine tetracycline. Dr. Unland worked with her to give her a new smile. Her self confidence has soared and she now smiles showing her teeth. Something she hasn't done since she was little. We love Dr. Unland and will continue to give him our business!

Dr. Ted Unland is the best in Nashville... period! I got veneers by Dr. Unland in 2005 and I've never had a problem. He makes you feel so comfortable and he doesn't make you feel any pain and PAIN is something I've not liked in my dentist in my past. The ladies in the office are incredible and so sweet. You can tell everyone loves their job. Thanks Dr. Ted Unland!
WT J.
At 65 years I have visited many dental offices over the years and can give an objective review. Very friendly and caring staff, flexible scheduling for appointments, and high quality service from Dr. Unland adds up to one of the best dental offices I have ever used.

Bone Grafting / Sinus Lift
Need A Dental Implant but Not Enough Bone?
Bone grafting is often closely associated with dental restorations such as bridge work and dental implants.
In the majority of cases, the success of a restoration procedure can hinge on the height, depth, and width of the jawbone at the implant site.
When the jawbone associated with missing teeth shrinks, or has sustained significant damage, the implant(s) cannot be supported on this unstable foundation and bone grafting is usually recommended.
Causes for Jaw Bone Volume Shrinkage
Periodontal Disease Periodontal disease can affect and permanently damage the jaw bone that supports the teeth. Affected areas progressively worsen until the teeth become unstable.
Tooth Extraction Studies have shown that patients who have experienced a tooth extraction subsequently lose 40-60% of the bone surrounding the extraction site during the following three years. Loss of bone results in what is called a “bone defect”.
Injuries and Infections Dental injuries and other physical injuries resulting from a blow to the jaw can cause the bone to recede. Infections can also cause the jaw bone to recede in a similar way.
Bone grafting can repair implant sites with inadequate bone structure due to previous extractions, gum disease or injuries. The bone is either obtained from a tissue bank or your own bone is taken from the jaw, hip or tibia (below the knee.)
Sinus bone grafts are also performed to replace bone in the posterior upper jaw.
Sinus Lift (Graft)
Sinus Lift is a surgical method by which we can increase the amount bone tissue of the upper jaw, above the molars and premolars.
The maxillary sinuses are behind your cheeks and on top of the upper teeth and are like empty rooms that have nothing in them. Some of the roots of the natural upper teeth extend up into the maxillary sinuses. When these upper teeth are removed, there is often just a thin wall of bone separating the maxillary sinus and the mouth. Dental implants need bone to hold them in place. When the sinus wall is very thin, it is impossible to place dental implants in this bone.
To address this problem our dentist enters the sinus from where the upper teeth used to be. The sinus membrane is then lifted upward and donor bone is inserted into the floor of the sinus. After healing, the bone becomes part of the patient’s jaw and dental implants can be inserted and stabilized in this new sinus bone.
If enough bone between the upper jaw ridge and the bottom of the sinus is available to stabilize the implant well, sinus augmentations and implant placement can sometimes be performed as a single procedure. If not enough bone is available, the Sinus Augmentation will have to be performed first, then the graft will have to mature for several months, depending upon the type of graft material used. Once the graft has matured, the implants can be placed.
