Dental implants in Charlotte, NC

The strongest way to replace missing teeth

Missing teeth can make it hard to eat, speak, or smile with confidence. At Dentist Salud, we restore smiles with dental implants — the gold standard for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function just like your natural teeth.

What are dental implants?

Dental implants are small titanium posts placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. Once healed, they provide a stable foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures, restoring both function and appearance. Unlike other tooth replacements, implants preserve bone health, protect surrounding teeth, and feel incredibly natural.

At Dentist Salud, we use advanced 3D imaging and digital scanning to plan precise implant placements, ensuring comfort, safety, and long-lasting results. Whether you’re missing one tooth or several, we’ll walk you through your options in Spanish or English so you feel confident every step of the way.

The benefits of dental implants

A natural look and feel

Implants look and function like natural teeth, giving you the confidence to smile, eat, and speak comfortably.

Implants last decades

With proper care, implants can last decades, often a lifetime, making them one of the best long-term investments in dentistry.

Preserve jawbone health

Implants stimulate the jawbone just like natural tooth roots, preventing the bone loss that often occurs with missing teeth.

Dental implant solutions for your best smile

Single-tooth implants

For patients missing just one tooth, a single implant topped with a custom crown blends seamlessly with your smile. Our lab technician helps design crowns that match in shape and color for results that look natural.

Implant-supported dentures

Implant-supported dentures combine the stability of dental implants with the convenience of dentures, giving you a secure, comfortable, and natural-looking solution for multiple missing teeth. Unlike traditional dentures that can slip or cause irritation, implant-supported dentures stay firmly in place, making it easier to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

Full-mouth rehabilitation

If you’re missing most or all of your teeth, a full-mouth rehabilitation plan using implants can restore your smile completely. With careful planning and advanced imaging, we design a treatment that rebuilds both health and aesthetics.

Bone grafting

Bone grafting restores strength and volume to your jawbone. It's often recommended if bone has weakened after tooth loss, gum disease, or injury. By rebuilding the foundation of your smile, bone grafting makes it possible to place dental implants securely and helps protect your facial structure for the long term.

Step 1

Comprehensive evaluation

We begin with digital scans and 3D CBCT imaging to check your bone health and map out the exact placement of your implant with precision.

Step 2

Implant placement

Your doctor places a small titanium post into your jawbone using advanced technology for accuracy and comfort. This post acts as the root of your new tooth.

Step 3

Healing

Over the next few months, the implant naturally fuses with your jawbone, creating a stable foundation. A temporary tooth may be placed so you don’t have to go without your smile.

Step 4

Final restoration

Once healed, we attach a crown, bridge, or denture. With our in-house lab tech, your restoration is designed to blend naturally with your smile and appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the implant process take?

The process can take several months, as the implant needs time to integrate with your jawbone. In some cases, same-day options may be available depending on your health and needs.

Are dental implants painful?

Most patients report that implant surgery is more comfortable than expected. With local anesthesia, sedation options, and gentle techniques, we minimize discomfort during and after treatment.

How do I know if I’m a candidate for implants?

If you’re missing one or more teeth and have healthy gums and bone, you may be a candidate. If bone loss has occurred, we may recommend bone grafting first to build a strong foundation. We conduct bone grafting right here in our office so you don’t have to go elsewhere for treatment.
