Dr. Nicholas Breig, DDS, MD

Allyson Lorance is the CRNA and anesthesia provider at Nuvia Dental Implant Center in Nashville, TN. She earned her nursing degree from the University of Tennessee in 2008 and worked in critical care and pediatric nursing before pursuing anesthesia. She completed her training at the Middle Tennessee School of Anesthesia in 2014 and has been providing anesthesia to adults and children across the Middle Tennessee area for about 12 years.

After many years at a large medical center, Allyson was drawn to dental anesthesia for the chance to shape her own schedule and stay close to her family. Nuvia gave her that flexibility—paired with a patient experience she was excited to be part of.

‍

Why Nuvia

Allyson tells patients that it’s completely normal to feel nervous about a new experience—especially one like this. What she wants patients to know is that Nuvia puts real effort and focus into the patient experience and works to go above and beyond to help them feel comfortable.

She’s also proud to be part of Nuvia’s permanent teeth in 24 hours model. The company takes the same care in building its team as it does in caring for its patients, which means the people at every stage of a patient’s visit are chosen with intention. For Allyson, that’s a reassuring thing to be able to hand back to a nervous patient.

‍

Outside of the Office

Outside of work, Allyson is a busy mom who dives head-first into whatever her kids are into. She coaches basketball, cheers on her kids at their sporting events, and loves making jewelry with them at home. She’s also known to hang out with her mom friends for a game of mahjong, and looks forward to family vacations every summer.

Dr. Nicholas Breig is deeply committed to providing the highest level of care as an oral surgeon in Nashville with empathy and compassion; traits that have been nurtured over many years of advanced training. After graduating through an accelerated route with a BS in Biology from Brigham Young University, his studies took him to the Bay Area, where he attended dental school at UCSF and obtained his dental degree (DDS). 

‍

His interests in medicine and oral surgery took him to Southern California, where he received his medical degree (MD) from the Loma Linda University School of Medicine. He then completed an internship in General Surgery with a focus on surgical oncology, trauma surgery, and critical care. Following this, Dr. Breig returned to dentistry to refine his skills in full-scope Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, including complex dental extractions, dental implant surgery, and general anesthesia. During his final year of training, he served as Chief Resident under nationally renowned surgeons. 

‍

After his rigorous training, Dr. Breig joined the Kaiser Permanente Medical Group in Santa Clara as a Senior Physician in the Maxillofacial Surgery Department, specializing in reconstructive jaw surgery. At Stanford University School of Medicine, he held an academic appointment and actively trained residents in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. He also held an academic appointment at Loma Linda University in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. During this time, he achieved diplomate status with the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and Fellow status with the American College of Surgeons.

Dr. Breig is currently a valued member of the Nuvia team in Nashville serving as a dental implant oral surgeon.
