At the heart of Nashville’s thriving community, Solace Implant Center and Oral Surgery continues to set the standard for excellence in oral healthcare and entrepreneurship. This September, the center and its leaders, Dr. Jaime Romero and co-founder Eva Angelina Romero, received two significant recognitions that reflect both their unwavering commitment to patient care and their vision for growth.
For more than a decade, Nashville Lifestyles Magazine has honored Dr. Romero as one of the city’s top specialists, a recognition that affirms not only his technical expertise but also the trust and admiration he has earned among patients and peers alike. In the September 2025 issue, Dr. Romero was once again named among the very best in his profession, a distinction he has consistently held for over ten years. To achieve this level of consistency in any industry—especially in healthcare—speaks volumes about the dedication, skill, and heart behind his practice.
“Every smile we restore is a life we impact,” says Dr. Romero. “This recognition is less about me and more about the incredible patients we serve and the team that makes it possible.”
Patients who walk through the doors of Solace Implant Center and Oral Surgery often come with years of discomfort, self-consciousness, or even pain. Through advanced procedures like dental implants and the All-on-4 treatment, Dr. Romero and his team have been able to provide life-changing results, helping patients eat, speak, and smile with confidence again. It is this profound impact on quality of life that makes Dr. Romero’s work stand out year after year.
But excellence in patient care is only part of the story. In addition to Dr. Romero’s recognition, Solace Implant Center and Oral Surgery—led by Dr. Romero and co-founder Eva Angelina Romero—was named a finalist in the prestigious 2025 NEXT Awards, presented by the Nashville Entrepreneur Center and supported by Amazon and HCA Healthcare. Taking place on October 20, 2025, at the Schermerhorn Symphony Center, this annual signature event honors the visionaries, companies, and organizations that are shaping Middle Tennessee’s economy and entrepreneurial landscape.
The Romeros are being recognized not only as leaders in oral surgery, but also as entrepreneurs whose work transcends the traditional boundaries of healthcare. By building Solace with a vision for sustainable growth, exceptional patient experiences, and innovative service models, Eva and Dr. Romero exemplify the entrepreneurial spirit the NEXT Awards exist to celebrate.
As a nominated co-founder and finalist in her own right, Eva’s leadership has been critical to Solace’s growth. She has spearheaded strategy, operations, and community partnerships while building a brand that reflects both excellence in healthcare and a commitment to empowerment.
“We are in growth mode,” shares Eva. “For us, it’s not just about building a dental practice—it’s about creating access to exceptional care, building trust in our community, and scaling in a way that transforms lives and industries.”
That growth is evident. In recent years, Solace Implant Center and Oral Surgery has expanded its reach in Nashville and the surrounding areas, adding new services, exploring wellness integrations, and positioning itself for long-term impact. Their approach blends the precision of oral surgery with the warmth of compassionate care, ensuring that every patient feels seen, valued, and restored.
The Romeros’ vision is anchored in more than business success. Their faith and commitment to community remain central to everything they do. From supporting nonprofit initiatives and mentoring young entrepreneurs to leading in professional associations, both Eva and Dr. Romero view their roles as opportunities to serve others while creating pathways to generational wealth and empowerment.
Being recognized by Nashville Lifestyles and the Entrepreneur Center’s NEXT Awards, powered by Amazon and HCA Healthcare, in the same season underscores the dual nature of their impact: one rooted in consistent, world-class clinical excellence, and the other in bold, visionary entrepreneurship.
For patients, these recognitions are more than accolades—they are reassurance. When choosing Solace, patients are choosing a practice that has not only been recognized by leading publications and organizations, but also proven its commitment to excellence over time. For the business community, the Romeros stand as an inspiring example of what can happen when expertise and passion meet purpose and perseverance.
As Nashville continues to grow, Solace Implant Center and Oral Surgery is poised to grow with it, raising the bar for oral healthcare, wellness, and patient experiences. The Romeros’ journey is a testament to faith, resilience, and a relentless drive to make a difference.
This fall, the spotlight shines on Solace in two ways: through the pages of Nashville Lifestyles Magazine, where Dr. Romero once again stands as a top specialist in his field, and at the NEXT Awards gala, where Dr. Romero and co-founder Eva Angelina Romero stand together among the most innovative and impactful entrepreneurs in Middle Tennessee.
For the Romeros, both recognitions serve as milestones—reminders of how far they’ve come, and signposts pointing toward the future they are building. It is a future marked by growth, excellence, and an unshakable commitment to restoring smiles and transforming lives, one patient at a time.
