Restorative Dentistry
Comprehensive Restorative Services in Charlotte, NC
Are you missing one or several of your natural teeth? In addition to impacting the look of your smile, patients with moderate to severe tooth loss are more likely to develop oral health conditions such as gum disease, bone loss, gum recession and more. Additionally, tooth loss can prevent patients from enjoying the foods they love, can cause trouble speaking, and lead to general unhappiness. Restorative dentistry is an option to regain health and confidence.

Restorative Dentistry Services in Charlotte, N.C.
Our compassionate team at Stewart Dental Group offer the following restorative dentistry services for our patients:
Dental
Bridges
At Stewart Dental Group, we treat patients with dental bridges that quite literally bridge the gap in your smile to restore missing teeth. These appliances are made up of false teeth and crowns that fit onto the existing teeth. We offer two types of dental bridges—removable or implanted—dentists work closely with patients to determine which appliance is best suited to your smile.
Dental
Implants
Patients missing just one or multiple teeth or who have diseased teeth may consider dental implants to restore the appearance and function of their smile. Dental implants consist of a titanium post, abutment and dental prosthesis. The posts replace the tooth roots and the prosthesis consists of artificial teeth that look and function like real ones. Over time, the implant fuses to your jawbone, offering a stable solution for tooth loss. The prospect of receiving dental implants may seem scary, but modern prosthetic dental technology has made the process seamless, routine and—for the vast majority of patients—entirely worth the investment.
Dental
Crowns
Also called dental caps, dental crowns cover, protect and restore teeth. Versatile and durable, dental crowns are usually used in place of fillings. They fit right over the entirety of a tooth and have many benefits—they protect weak or damaged teeth, restore functionality after receiving implants or certain treatments and improve the overall appearance of a tooth.
Dentures and
Partials
Dentures are the most traditional replacements for missing teeth. They often improve the quality of life in patients with tooth loss who struggle to perform daily activities such as eating and speaking. Dentures are removable and worn throughout the day. We also offer a permanent denture solution to patients looking to replace missing teeth with implants.
Periodontal
Therapy
Also known as gum disease, periodontal disease causes swelling, inflammation and infection in the gum tissue. Many patients may not realize that they have gum disease, as early signs and symptoms can easily go unnoticed. However, it is important to catch gum inflammation early on—left untreated, it can lead to infection and tooth loss. While there is no definitive cure for this disease, prevention and treatment can help to keep the disease from progressing. At Stewart Dental Group, we offer several periodontal therapy options to keep our patients’ smiles as healthy as possible.
