Our Featured Dental Implant Treatments

a model of two placed dental implants

If patients are in need of a single tooth replacement, a single implant provides an ideal solution. Single dental implants are placed with titanium posts and topped with a dental crown custom-made to match the patient’s natural teeth. This dental implant option provides jawbone stability, keeping it healthy and strong.

For patients with multiple missing or failing teeth requiring replacement, implant supported dentures offer a stable and reliable solution. Supported by multiple dental implants, implant supported dentures are comfortable, do not move in a patient’s mouth, and provide bone stimulation to prevent deterioration. With implant supported dentures, patients can resume their normal diet, speak clearly, and smile with confidence.

All-On-4 Full Arch Dental Implant Model

Do you have a full arch of missing or damaged teeth in one or both jaws? All-on-4 dental implants replace an entire arch with just four strategically placed implants, often with a functional smile the same day.

This treatment restores most of your natural bite force and stops the bone loss that comes with long-term tooth loss.

All phases of treatment are completed in-house with digital planning, giving patients a precise, customized result.

Do you feel anxious about dental visits, or have a low tolerance for discomfort during longer procedures? Sedation dentistry can make your treatment comfortable from start to finish.

We offer nitrous oxide, oral sedation, and IV sedation, so your level of relaxation can be matched to your anxiety level and the complexity of your treatment.

With the right sedation option, you can complete necessary dental work without fear or discomfort.

Our Frequently Asked Questions

The cost of dental implants varies depending on how many teeth need to be replaced, what preparatory procedures are required, and which implant type is used. We provide detailed cost breakdowns during your consultation and accept CareCredit and Cherry Financing to help spread costs over time.

No referral is needed. Patients from Unionville can contact Charlotte Dental Arts directly to schedule a consultation with Dr. Porter. He handles all phases of implant care in-house, from evaluation and placement to final restoration.
Most adults with one or more missing or failing teeth are potential candidates for dental implants. Good candidates generally have sufficient jawbone density, healthy gum tissue, and no uncontrolled systemic conditions affecting healing. Patients with bone loss may still qualify for All-on-4 implants. The best way to determine candidacy is a consultation with Dr. Porter.
The implant process typically unfolds in several stages: a comprehensive consultation with digital imaging and treatment planning, any necessary preparatory work such as tooth extraction or bone grafting handled in-house, surgical placement of the titanium implant post, a healing period of several weeks to months during which the implant fuses with the bone, and finally the attachment of a custom crown or prosthetic restoration.
Most patients return to normal daily activities within a few days of implant placement. Initial soreness and swelling are common in the first 48 to 72 hours and resolve quickly. Full biological healing takes several weeks to months. We provide detailed post-procedure instructions and follow up throughout recovery. Sedation options are available for anxious patients.
