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 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!!

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.

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!

Dental Implants – Galileos / Cerec Integration
You’ve lost a tooth, or perhaps several. Chewing is difficult and smiling, well it’s too embarrassing. There is no question that the quality of your life has changed. Dental implants are the solution to renewing your smile, your chewing ability and quite frankly your quality of life.
Dental Implant Placement and Restoration with CEREC® Technology and Galileos Cone Beam Imaging
Dr. Ted Unland, DMD at Unland Dental Center will direct superb placement of implants utilizing Galileos Cone Beam Imaging and will design the most life-like and best-fitting crowns using CEREC® Technology to ensure the Optimum Results in Dental Implant Placement and Restoration.
Galileos cone beam technology, an advanced type of digital radiography provides our dentists with a 3-dimensional digital image of your entire mouth, even areas that are not commonly visible to the human eye like the structures beneath your teeth and gums. The model even includes teeth roots and internal canals.
Cone-Beam Computer Tomography scans take only seconds, limiting your exposure to radiation. There is no doubt that this technology is a great improvement over standard x-rays.
GALILEOS – CEREC INTEGRATION (GCI)
The tools available with this technology enable us to reduce the risk of treatments as well as plan surgical care with more accuracy. Along with CEREC®, the implant placement is guided by the optimal placement of final restoration. The final restoration is designed on CEREC, which is then imported into Galileos software. Here this information is used to plan precise placement of implants. These scans are also used to fabricate surgical guides that reduce surgery time and are very accurate.
The Advantages of Galileos Cone Beam Imaging
The Cone Beam 3D CT Scan offers the highest level of surgical predictability, resulting in successful surgical outcomes for patients.
Lower patient cost than a medical CT and over ten times less radiation compared to a medical CT.
A quick and easy 20-second scan produces the most anatomically accurate 3-D images of the mouth, face, and jaw.
An open-environment scan increasing the patient’s comfort level.
Reduces surgery time.
The in house Cone Beam 3D CT Scan helps patients avoid hospital visits and multiple appointments.
Within minutes of the iCone Beam 3D CT Scan, dentists are able to offer patients an immediate virtual diagnosis and treatment plan-all in one visit.
The 3-D data can easily be shared with a patient’s periodontist, oral surgeon, orthodontists, or medical practitioner using free Software.
Reasons to Consider Dental Implants
Without the root structure of a natural tooth the jawbone can shrink making your face look older.
There are no loose parts. An implant is stable and comfortable.
Normally, it will serve its owner for life.
Dental Implants LOOK and FEEL like natural teeth.
Dental implants help you eat, chew, smile, talk and look completely natural. This functionality imparts social, psychological and physical well-being.
When both the tooth and root are damaged, the best permanent replacement is a dental implant in conjunction with a ceramic crown.
What is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant is a small titanium screw secured in the jawbone that serves as the replacement for the root portion of a missing natural tooth.
Titanium’s special property of fusing to bone allows the dental implant to stabilize the bone preventing bone loss and maintaining its shape and density
The implant serves as an anchor for the replacement tooth or teeth (single crowns, bridges or dentures)
Dental implants are surgically placed into the jaw. They can be placed in either the upper or lower jaw.
Due to the biocompatible properties of titanium, a dental implant fuses with the bone and becomes a good anchor for the replacement tooth.
Dental implants can be used in solutions for replacing single or multiple missing teeth.
Many people who consider implants have removable, conventional dentures for lower and upper jaws, or have removable bridges. These people experience a significant improvement in their ability to chew food comfortably after their dental implant treatment.
The Dental Implant Procedure
The implant team usually includes either a periodontist or an oral and maxillofacial surgeon who surgically places the implant, and a prosthodontist or general dentist who designs and fits the replacement teeth or permanent bridge.
At Unland Dental Center we insert implants and design and fit replacement teeth and do restorative work on faulty crowns all in one office.
At the first appointment, we use an X-ray to determine if the jaw bone is adequate to hold the titanium posts.
Virtual three-dimensional models of the mouth are often made using our CEREC technology to scan the teeth arches. These models show where the gaps are located and provide precise measurements for implants and a replacement crown (cap) or a bridge
Treatment with dental implants requires meticulous planning for best results.
A surgical procedure is required (using local anesthetic and sedative) in which precision channels are created in the jawbone, often using a surgical guide. The implants are then fitted into the sites so that they are in contact with the bone. They generally require two to six months to fuse to the bone before they can have tooth restorations attached to them to complete the process.
Immediately – at the same time an implant is placed (or after a period of healing), an abutment is attached to the implant. This is a device that “abuts” or joins the implant to a tooth form called a crown, which replaces the tooth part you see in the mouth.
The custom crown is cemented or screwed onto the abutment to permanently keep it in place and should be indistinguishable from your natural teeth.
Is Old Age a Problem?
Occasionally, older patients express concern that their age may prevent them from enjoying the benefits of dental implants. However, health is more of a determining factor than age. If you’re healthy enough to have a tooth extracted, you’re probably healthy enough to receive dental implants. Certain chronic diseases may contraindicate dental implant treatment. The dentist will determine if you are a candidate for dental implants after a careful evaluation of your dental and health history.
How Will Dental Implants Affect My Life?
Dental implant-supported replacement teeth look, feel and function like natural teeth. This means that you can eat and drink whatever you choose. But most importantly, dental implants improve quality of life in a very concrete way. People who have felt embarrassed and worried because of their tooth problems are often overwhelmed by what new permanent teeth can do for their self-esteem.
