Many people dream of having straight teeth but don’t realize they have options to achieve their goals. At our Charlotte, NC practice, you have multiple orthodontic options to create the smile you wish to see each morning in the mirror.
1. Metal Braces
Braces have been used for centuries. They work well on a wide variety of orthodontic problems. That’s why we still use them to help several patients create their dream smiles.
2. Invisalign
This clear aligner system was originally developed with adult patients in mind. It offers a discreet alternative to braces that works well for adults and teens.
3. Ceramic Braces
As much as you may want to use Invisalign, some issues do require braces to fix. Ceramic braces are less noticeable than metal ones and provide you with the results that you want.

You finally made it to the new restaurant in town. You have been looking forward to breaking bread with your friends for months.
The only issue is that you are not sure if you will be able to eat the actual bread. Will the rolls be too tough for you to bite? For that matter, will a steak be too difficult for you to bite and chew?
You didn’t think about your dentures when you agreed to dinner plans, but now you find yourself scanning the menu for soup, mashed potatoes, or other soft foods that will cause little if any problems.
That’s not really what you want to eat, but you don’t want to spend the meal worrying about your teeth coming loose when you try to bite something. You are already hoping that your denture adhesive will be sufficient to stop your “teeth” from sliding around during the dinner conversation.
You don’t have to feel this way when you go out to eat. Instead, you could get dental implants to feel confident that your replacement teeth will remain securely in your mouth. To discuss how you could get implants, call 704-285-0846 for an appointment at Charlotte Dentistry in Charlotte, NC.
Make Your Teeth Strong
People who have standard dentures can have a natural-looking smile. However, they only regain a fraction of their biting and chewing power. Dentures can and do slide around because they rest over your gums.
Unlike teeth, which have roots, dentures are not anchored into your jawbones. Implants act as artificial roots. With implants, you recreate the direct connection to your jaw. This is invaluable for reviving the full force of your biting power.
When you have implants, they anchor your bridge or dentures in position. Every time you bite and chew, your implants are pressed into your jaw. This also means that you stimulate your jaw. Your jaw responds to this by generating new tissue. This is essential for maintaining your jaw health.
It’s also something you won’t get from traditional dentures.
In other words, if you want to be able to eat what you like for years or even decades to come, then you need to get dental implants with your teeth replacements.
Feel Like Your Have Real Teeth Again
For previous generations, dentures were the best option for teeth replacements. They were far from perfect, but they at least restored some biting ability.
Modern dental implants were developed in the 1960s. Today they are the gold standard for teeth replacements. Yes, there have been innovations and improvements, but the basic idea is the same. If you want replacement teeth that look and feel like the real thing, you need to replace the crowns and the roots.
With implants, you can:
- Eat what you like
- Speak clearly
- Smile with confidence
- Improve your health
- Enjoy a higher quality of life
You Deserve More Than a Great Smile
Make sure you are getting what you want from your replacement teeth. Don’t just settle for a nice smile, when you can have a powerful bite and healthy jaw, too.

Your temporomandibular joints (TMJ) can make you really uncomfortable if they become irritated and inflamed. The pain typically starts in your jaw but often radiates out to the rest of your face, your neck, and your shoulders. TMJ dysfunction can cause earaches and headaches too. Fortunately, you can find relief for TMJ pain with a custom-made oral appliance.
Though no one knows exactly what leads to TMJ trouble, it is often found in people who clench their jaw and/or grind their teeth in their sleep. In addition to causing TMJ pain, these habits can often damage your teeth – sometimes to the point where restorative repair is needed.
Our team can take dental impressions and other measurements, which are used to craft a custom appliance you’ll wear during the night. The appliance eases your jaw forward to relieve the tension on your TMJ. It also keeps your teeth slightly apart, so you can’t grind them together. Best of all, it relieves your pain and helps you function normally again!
Call Charlotte Dentistry at 704-285-0846 today to schedule a TMJ consultation in Charlotte, NC.

Sleep apnea is a condition characterized by frequent blockages of your airway while you sleep. They cause you to briefly awaken when your brain signals your body that it needs to breathe. These interruptions in breathing can happen many times a night. They usually cause you to snore – and they adversely affect your health by preventing you from getting the rest you need. Keeping your airway open is the key to treatment.
A CPAP is one way to clear your airway. It works by sending air into your nose and/or throat. Many of our patients, however, prefer to use an oral appliance instead of a CPAP.
If we determine you’d benefit from an oral appliance, we’ll take dental impressions and other measurements that are used to produce a custom-made device. The device fits inside your mouth, much like a sports mouthguard, and moves your jaw forward into a position that keeps your airway open.
To schedule a sleep apnea consultation at Charlotte Dentistry, call 704-285-0846 today. In the meantime, check out some reasons you may find an appliance preferable to a CPAP:
- Less Invasive – Both you and your bed partner may find it difficult to adjust to the CPAP’s mask and tubing, as well as the noise from the machine. In contrast, the appliance is barely noticeable.
- More Comfortable – Since a CPAP sends air into your throat all night, tt’s common to wake up with your throat and/or mouth feeling uncomfortably dry. The appliance keeps you breathing easily without drying out your mouth,
- Simpler to Use – A CPAP requires electricity or batteries and distilled water to keep the air pressure at the right level. Your appliance works with no added supplies. To keep your appliance clean, you simply brush it between uses when you brush your teeth.
- Easily Goes Anywhere With You – It can be a hassle to travel with a CPAP. But an oral appliance is small enough to travel in a pocket or purse. You can use it to catch some Zs just about anywhere, even on a plane or inside a tent in the woods.

You probably don’t want a root canal treatment. However, you have a tooth infection, then a root canal really is your best option for restoring your oral health.
During this procedure, we remove the infected tissue, provide a special filler material to reinforce your tooth, and cap it with a dental crown. When all is said and done, you no longer have pain, and you can eat and smile naturally again.
