A Dental Implant May Be Recommended for:
Trauma
Some injuries can cause damage that affects the entire tooth. If your tooth is broken past the point of treatment, your dentist may recommend that it be extracted and replaced.
Severe Decay
If a root canal is not successful, you may need an extraction. Instead of leaving a gap in your smile, our dentists highly recommend that you receive a dental implant to restore the tooth.
Missing Teeth
Most patients receive dental implants to replace one or more missing teeth. Tooth loss can occur due to a variety of issues, including poor dental hygiene and untreated gum disease.
"Highly recommend them."

However, not every patient will qualify for implant treatment...
The Advantages of Dental Implants
Better Function
Implants are the closest restorations come to having natural teeth. With traditional removable prosthetics like dentures, patients have to worry about slippage when speaking and eating. Dentures anchored by implants are fixed in place, minimizing any chance of embarrassment. Implant-supported dentures also eliminate the need for messy adhesives.
Preserve Natural Teeth
Some traditional prosthetics like dental bridges require reshaping each tooth surrounding the gap in your smile. Prosthetics anchored by implants do not require reshaping any tooth, preserving their structure. The titanium posts inserted into your jawbone also prevent your other teeth from shifting, which is a common consequence of tooth loss.
High Success Rate
Dental implants have a 90 to 95 percent success rate at replacing a missing tooth or several teeth, as noted in a retrospective study by the Journal of International Society of Preventive & Community Dentistry.

If You Are Missing Teeth
Dental implants not only fill the gaps in your smile. They also help to preserve your oral health. Missing teeth will cause your other teeth to shift and your jawbone to lose tissue. By investing in implants, you can minimize or outright eliminate future oral health problems.
Dr. Robert Porter works alongside his father, Dr. Charles Porter, to provide general dentistry treatment to patients in Charlotte, NC, and the surrounding area. Our team can converse with patients who prefer to speak in Spanish.
“Comfortable, refreshed, confident”

Options For Replacing Missing Teeth At Our Charlotte, NC, Office
Dental implant restorations from our Charlotte, NC, office can fill any gap in your smile, whether you have one missing tooth or several missing teeth.
Replacing One Tooth
If you have lost a single tooth from infection, decay, or another reason, we can create a custom dental crown and attach it to your titanium implant with an abutment.
Replacing Multiple Teeth
A dental bridge anchored by implants can replace two or three adjacent teeth. No crowns are required to cap natural teeth when the bridge is supported by dental implants.
Replacing Several Teeth
For patients missing several teeth, our dentists may recommend implant-supported dentures. Implants eliminate the need for adhesives that keep traditional dentures in place.
Is dental implant treatment painful?
Ensuring Your Comfort with Sedation
A local anesthetic is applied to the treatment area during dental implant surgery. This will numb the tissue and prevent you from feeling pain. Dr. Charles Porter and Dr. Robert Porter work with implant specialists who also provide sedation dentistry in Charlotte. Sedation is highly beneficial for more extensive procedures like dental implant surgery because it helps you feel relaxed and allows the doctor to work more efficiently.
Your Health Is Our Priority
“I have been a patient of Dr Porter for the last 16 years because of the great experience I’ve had each time I visit his office. Dr Porter and his team are welcoming, professional, meticulous and caring.”

Insurance and Dental Implants
Typically, dental insurance will not cover the implant itself but often covers the restoration. We work with most insurance providers and can help verify what will and will not be covered before you begin treatment.
We Provide Accurate Pricing
We know cost is top of mind when it comes to deciding on dental treatments. To get accurate pricing information, we recommend you visit Porter Dental Group in Charlotte, NC. Our dentists can talk to you about your goals. Using that information, Dr. Charles Porter and Dr. Robert Porter can create a treatment plan that meets your needs and fits your budget.
Porter Dental Group can also help if cost is an obstacle. Our dentists can offer alternatives that better fit your budget or suggest dental materials that are more cost-effective. We also offer in-house financing as well as accept low-cost or zero-cost financing through CareCredit®.
If uncertainty is holding you back, contact us for a consultation so you can get all the information you need to make a thoughtful, educated choice about your dental health.
While the treatment process may seem extensive, the results can be life-changing…
Implant Treatment Can Improve Your Quality of Life
Once your restoration has been placed, you can immediately enjoy the gratification of a complete smile. By no longer feeling the need to hide their smiles, many patients also feel free to engage in more social interactions. Overcoming the difficulties of tooth loss with a solution that you can rely on can drastically improve your daily life.
It is important to note that there is a short adjustment period when trying to chew and enunciate with your new restoration. However, most patients adjust within a week or two. You will then be able to eat much more easily and speak clearly. Often, patients experience a significant boost in their confidence shortly after treatment that only continues to increase.
“Skilled and caring”
“The Porter Dental Group and the individuals who work there including Dr. Charles Porter, Dr. Robert Porter, and their dedicated staff members, are skilled and caring dental care professionals of exponential measure.”
