About Greg Denton, DDS
It has been a privilege to serve the Greater Nashville area including, Hermitage, Mt. Juliet, and Lebanon for over 20 years. I’ve lived my entire life here and couldn’t be happier to have my practice – Denton Dental Solutions – located in the middle of these three amazing communities.
I believe we have the best community, hands down, and I love building lifelong relationships with my patients. I can’t wait to meet you!
I’ve been in dentistry for over 20 years, which provides me with extensive knowledge and experience in a variety of services. This enables us to better serve our patients by providing integrated treatment in all phases of dental care.
I am a firm advocate of patient education. This helps to establish proper expectations with individualized care. We want you to make informed decisions about your care, and feel right at home, every step of the way.
I received my Bachelor of Science degree, with a major in biology, from Cumberland University in 1990. I completed my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree at the University of Tennessee, Memphis in 1994 with honors. Next, I completed a General Practice Hospital Residency at the University of Louisville in 1995.
As a family man, I spend my spare time with my loving wife and children. If I could make a living doing something other than dentistry, it would be playing guitar or hockey, GO PREDS!

Dental Implant Procedures by Dr Denton
Dental Implants
A dental implant is a root-form titanium screw that is surgically placed in the jaw to create an anchor for teeth to be built upon. Dental implants are considered the best way to replace missing teeth.
Single Posterior Implant
The majority of dental implants involve the replacement of a back tooth. Referred to as a single posterior implant, this procedure is typically less complex and less costly than many people expect.
Front Tooth Implant
Dental implants are an excellent option for replacing a missing front tooth in most cases. Front tooth implants are not as common as dental implants replacing missing molars or back teeth.
Full Mouth Implants
Missing most or all of your teeth due to damage, periodontal disease, or tooth decay? Full mouth dental implants, which your dentist may call full mouth restoration or reconstruction, can be a great option.
Tooth Extractions
Sometimes referred to as “having a tooth pulled,” a tooth extraction is a very common oral surgical procedure in which a natural tooth is removed from the jaw. An implant may be placed after adequate healing time.
Bone Grafting
After teeth are extracted, bone can atrophy or shrink to the point that bone grafting is required. Bone grafting builds up bone foundations for sufficient implant stability and strength.
Socket Preservation
Socket preservations are simple bone grafting procedures done in conjunction with tooth extractions. The goal of socket preservation is to preserve bone for a future dental implant to be placed.
Dental Crowns
A dental crown is a cap or cover that protects the tooth and restores it to mimic natural shape, size, and function. Crowns are make of zirconia or porcelain and can be either cemented or screw-retained.
Screw Retained Crowns
A screw-retained implant crown is a single-tooth fixed restoration that is secured to a dental implant by means of a screw. Screw retained crowns are popular due to the proven long-term success they deliver.
Cemented Crowns
A cemented crown is a dental crown that is secured to a dental implant using a luting agent similar to dental crowns cemented onto natural teeth. Cemented crowns are beautiful, functional, and extremely durable.
Dental Bridges
An implant bridge or dental bridge is a permanent option that replaces multiple missing teeth. It literally bridges areas that are missing one or more teeth and fill in larger spaces with natural looking crowns.
Implant Cosmetics
The goal of implant cosmetic dentistry is to create tooth-like restorations that are strong, mimic natural beauty and completely restore natural function. Think of cosmetic dentistry as plastic surgery for teeth.
