-
Step 1
Our implant dentist uses advanced imaging to evaluate your jawbone health and create a customized treatment plan designed specifically for your smile restoration needs.
-
Step 2
A titanium implant post is precisely placed into your jawbone in a minimally invasive surgical procedure, creating a strong foundation for your new tooth.
-
Step 3
Over the next few months, the implant naturally integrates with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration, ensuring a permanent and stable base for your restoration.
-
Step 4
Once fully healed, a custom-crafted porcelain crown is attached to your implant, completing your restoration with a tooth that looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth.
During the healing process, a temporary crown may be used to maintain your appearance and function.
There’s no other treatment that can permanently restore your smile like dental implants in Charlotte, NC.

Am I a candidate for dental implants?
Most people with missing teeth are good candidates for dental implants. However, we need to evaluate your jawbone density, overall health, and oral hygiene habits during a comprehensive consultation. Adequate jawbone is essential for implant success, though bone grafting can often be performed if you’ve experienced bone loss. We’ll discuss your individual situation and determine the best tooth restoration option for your needs.
-
How long does the dental implant process take?
The complete dental implant process typically takes 3-6 months from start to finish. This includes the initial consultation and planning, the surgical implant placement (which takes about an hour), and a healing period of 3-4 months while your implant fuses with your jawbone. Once fully healed, we’ll place your custom crown, completing your restoration. While the timeline requires patience, the result is a permanent solution worth the wait.
-
How do I care for dental implants?
Dental implants require the same care as natural teeth: brush twice daily, floss regularly, and visit us for professional cleanings every six months. Because implants are artificial, they can’t develop cavities, but the gum and bone around them need to stay healthy to maintain the implant’s success. With good oral hygiene habits and regular dental checkups, your implants will remain strong and beautiful for years to come.
-
How do dental implants compare to other tooth replacement options?
Unlike dentures or bridges, dental implants are the only tooth replacement option that preserves your jawbone and prevents bone loss over time. Implants look, feel, and function like natural teeth, allowing you to eat whatever you want without worry. While implants require a higher upfront investment than other options, their permanence and superior functionality make them the most cost-effective solution in the long term.
