If you lose a tooth or multiple teeth, you need a replacement to ensure optimal oral health, and our restorative dentists in Charlotte and Concord are here to help.
Restore your smile’s beauty and function with dental implants, one of the best ways to replace missing teeth permanently.

The Dental Implant Process
It is a two-part procedure.
We place the dental implant, a small titanium post, into your jawbone. This biocompatible material fuses with your jawbone over time and acts as your replacement tooth root. Once fused, it provides a strong, permanent base for your new tooth.
Once your jawbone heals, our restorative dentist attaches a connective structure called an abutment. This abutment holds your custom tooth replacement (e.g. crown), on the post. The result is a beautiful and realistic restoration that matches the color, shape, and size of your other teeth.
Are You an Implant Candidate?
If you’re missing a tooth, then implants might be for you.
One of the most important factors of implant dentistry is the health of your jawbone and gums. If your jawbone density is insufficient or the gums aren’t healthy enough, the implant won’t be able to heal as needed.
In some cases, a bone graft may be performed to aid in jawbone regeneration before placing dental implants. Ultimately, a consultation with our team will determine if you’re a candidate for dental implants and help you find the best tooth replacement option.
