Replacing Teeth And Improving Imperfect Smiles In A Caring Environment!

Missing teeth can impact every aspect of your daily life, from enjoying your favorite foods to smiling confidently in photos. The gaps in your smile affect not only your appearance but also your oral health, as remaining teeth may shift and your jawbone can deteriorate over time.

Charlotte Dental Arts provides comprehensive dental implant solutions for patients throughout East Forest and surrounding communities. Dr. Edwin Porter, a Diplomate in Implantology from the International Congress of Oral Implantologists, brings over 20 years of experience in implant dentistry to restore both the function and beauty of your smile.

Our Featured Dental Implant Treatments

Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to replace missing tooth roots. These biocompatible posts fuse with your bone through osseointegration, creating a stable foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures that look and function like natural teeth.

If patients are in need of a single tooth replacement, a single dental implant is able to fill the gap with ease! At our dental implant center, we place single implant posts and custom-crafted dental crowns that match the patient’s natural teeth. Single dental implants provide stability and bone preservation to a patient’s jawbone, keeping it healthy and strong.

Do you have many missing or failing teeth that need to be replaced? Implant-supported dentures are a stable and reliable solution! Supported by multiple strategically placed implants, implant supported dentures are comfortable, do not move in a patient’s mouth, and stimulate bone growth to prevent deterioration.

With implant-supported dentures, patients can resume their normal diet, talk with ease, and smile with confidence. Our practice uses advanced digital imaging to ensure precise placement and optimal comfort for each patient’s unique anatomy.

All-On-4 Full Arch Dental Implant Model

Do you have a full arch of missing or damaged teeth making it hard to live comfortably? With the All-On-4 dental implant treatment in East Forest, NC, patients can restore their smile with just four strategically placed implants. This advanced procedure prevents bone resorption, restores dental function, and eliminates the need for removable dentures.

All phases of your All-On-4 procedure can be completed in-house using our 3D imaging and CAD/CAM technology, providing a customized full-arch restoration that looks and functions like natural teeth.

Do you have anxiety about your dental procedures? Are you nervous about your complex dental treatment because you have a low tolerance for pain? These concerns can be addressed with sedation dentistry in East Forest, NC! When people do not get treated with some form of sedation dentistry, they may experience uncomfortable procedures.

That is why our caring dental office encourages you to come to us for sedation dentistry options. We offer a variety of sedation dentistry options to alleviate your anxiety and make your treatment as comfortable as possible. With mild, moderate, and IV sedation, we are able to assist you regardless of your level of anxiety! Dr. Porter is board-certified in oral sedation administration, ensuring safe and effective anxiety management during all procedures.

Our Frequently Asked Questions

Replacing your missing teeth at our practice can help you avoid further complications. From bone loss to gum disease, missing teeth can cause a variety of issues if left untreatedPrompt treatment prevents adjacent teeth from shifting, maintains facial structure, and preserves your ability to eat and speak normally.

At our practice, you have a variety of options to choose from for dental implants. Single dental implants can help fix the issue of one or two missing teeth whereas implant supported dentures and All-On-4 can provide you with a full arch replacement. Dr. Porter evaluates each patient’s bone density, oral health, and lifestyle to recommend the most suitable implant solution.

The All-On-4 dental implant treatment model is great for replacing teeth, even those with some bone decay. Patients can come to our practice for a consultation to see if they are candidates for this modern tooth replacement option.

If you are interested in getting a dental bridge, chances are you have a couple of missing teeth in a row that need to be replaced. Implant supported bridges use dental implants to support a bridge of strong and natural looking prosthetic teeth.

Dental veneers give patients the ability to hide the imperfections of their teeth and are bonded directly to their teeth. Lumineers do not require enamel removal for placement like dental veneers, making them a less permanent option.

Over-the-counter teeth whiteners do not give patients the same or lasting effect that professional teeth whiteners do. Our in-office professional teeth whiteners go deep past the enamel of your teeth to remove stains for a brighter smile.
