Dr. Irvine on Dental Implants
Dental implants are often the best option for one or two or multiple missing teeth, mostly because if you don’t have to drill good teeth next to the space, when you put an implant in, it acts just like the tooth did before. You can floss between it, you can chew with it, the gums end up forming around it and looking just like your tooth did, or better. So if somebody needed an implant, we take a CT scan and merge it with the video camera scan that we take with the CEREC machine.
We make a surgical guide so that the accuracy of the placement is to point, like 0.02 millimeters accuracy, and we have the exact angulation that you want to place the implant through what will be the restoration. So it just makes it a faster procedure for the patient, more enjoyable for the patient. And if you don’t replace the tooth, sometimes there’s movement of the teeth over time.
The teeth like to shift if there’s space for them to shift into, and then that can affect the bite and over time might not be able to chew with it as well. It would be better to put an implant in. It would be better to have something in there, a bridge or a partial also, if you didn’t want to do an implant.

Enjoy Lifelike Function by Pairing New Teeth With Implants
Implants are titanium tooth roots placed in your jaw. They function just like your natural tooth roots. Once in your jaw, they become a part of your body through a process called osseointegration. You won’t even know an implant is there, and it can last your lifetime.
You can trust our practice with this procedure. Dr. Irvine has extensive training in placing implants, having completed numerous continuing education courses. She is Dawson-certified and received additional implant training through implant seminars taught by expert, Dr. Arun Garg. Plus, we place implants using advanced technology for precise results. Using 3-D scans, we create custom surgical guides to give you the best outcome.
The process begins by coming in for a consultation. Your dentist will do an exam and take digital X-rays. She will determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure. You may need certain procedures to prepare your mouth to support implants. Your dentist may need to extract teeth to move forward. Bone grafting may be needed if you have bone loss in your jaw.
Your dental implant options include:
- Implant Crown – An implant combined with a dental crown replaces a single missing tooth. It functions like a natural tooth, so you can floss, brush, and eat normally.
- Implant Bridge – Replace several teeth in a row with an implant bridge. Instead of having to prepare healthy teeth to support a bridge, you can get your bridge anchored to implants. Your jaw will stay strong, unlike with a traditional bridge.
- Implant Dentures – Your dentures can remain securely in place with implants. You won’t have to use adhesive to keep your teeth secure. You can eat more of the foods you love without limitation or difficulty. You have two options: dentures that snap into place on top of implants and are removable for cleaning or teeth that stay fixed in place. With the latter option, you just brush and floss as usual. They can be removed by a dentist if any other maintenance is required. With her implant expertise, Dr. Irvine will help you select the replacement teeth that are right for you.
Call 704-246-5346 for dental implants in Charlotte. You can schedule online. We’re open as early as 7 a.m.!
Read MoreWhat to Expect During Your Implant Procedure
Understanding what’s involved in your implant treatment will help you feel at ease. Here is what happens:
- Your dentist will use advanced technology to plan your implant placement. We’ll take digital X-rays and scans to ensure placement is correct.
- Depending on the extent of bone loss in your jaw, you may need a bone graft or a ridge augmentation in preparation. These procedures prepare your jaw for implants.
- If those are necessary, after a time of healing, your dentist will place the implant(s) in your jaw.
- Once your jaw has a chance to integrate the implant(s), you’ll return for your restoration. Before you know it, you’ll have a fully functional set of teeth!

Just returned from my first visit. It was great!! Highly professional and very friendly at every turn. Jeri, who cleaned my teeth, did an exceptional job. Really liked my previous dentist (of over 30 years), but he retired and prices had been going up quickly. Definitely recommend these folks. Just went today for my second cleaning. As before, it was a great experience. Jerilyn is amazing! Whatsherface the dentist too. The technology these folks have is amazing. If you don’t have a fantastic dentist, go to Providence Dentistry. 03/15/22 appointment. Again, a very pleasant experience at “The Dentist.” Sounds like an oxymoron, but it’s really true.

Welcoming office. I only had to wait about 5 -10 minutes and the hygienist apologized for my wait! Very thorough and gentle cleaning and exam. I’ve been coming here for several years now. Always professional and knowledgeable. I trust them with my mouth! Update to add that that I’m still very pleased! Updated to add that although I’m nervous at new procedures they always go well!
C. P. (Verified Patient)
The dental cleaning and x-ray “new” client experience was beyond 5 stars. I received a full review of my teeth x-rays and details on how to better my teeth and gum health. I am in my 60’s and had every 6 month cleanings for my whole life and never had such detail and direction. The management, office personnel, etc. are wonderful. Parking is plentiful and close access to the front door. They also offer, specific to their office, an insurance package that offers amazing discounts and free cleanings for those without dental insurance. Savannah and Dr. Irving get +5 stars as well! One visit and you will experience what makes Providence Dentistry stand above the rest.

I’ve always been afraid of going to the dentist, but Dr. Daniel Huh completely changed that experience for me. From my very first visit, he was incredibly patient, kind, and down-to-earth. He took the time to understand all of my concerns, never made me feel rushed, and answered every one of my questions thoroughly. What stood out the most is how much he genuinely cares about his patients. He made sure I understood every step of the treatment process and always checked in to make sure I was comfortable. I’ve never felt so heard, understood, and at ease in a dental office. His professionalism, compassion, and attention to detail are truly exceptional. Thanks to Dr. Huh, I no longer dread going to the dentist, and I actually feel confident knowing I’m in good hands. I highly recommend Dr. Daniel Huh to anyone, especially if you’ve had anxiety about dental visits. He has completely changed my perspective on going to the dentist.

I don’t mind having a temporary crown, in fact that’s what I’m used too; and then getting regular crown later. Now a days crowns are done in the office with new technology, but with the new software I think Dr Irwin did the best she could. I’m glad if she wasn’t satisfied she wasn’t going to make it work. I’m OK waiting for new crown to be fixed off site. But; it was a long 3 hours with the whole ordeal. Mouth is sore; but I’m fine. I would recommend Providence Dentistry to my friends. Thanks We completed the crown today and it went well; with little or no problems. I feel good so far and Dr. Irwin did a good job. Tay her dental assistant also did a good job. I have a cleaning coming up on Nov1st. LETS DO IT!!!! My cleaning on the 9th was great with Emily. She does a great job!!! 12-3-24 I had a cleaning today with Emily and she was great. She is really the only one that cleans my teeth and I’m very satisfied with her expertise. She is also very personal and a nice person. 4/11/24 Had cleaning today and Emily was fantastic. She is personable, professional and kind. She knows her patients and remembers things about them, which always makes me feel good. I would recommend her to anyone, thanks Emily!!! Cleaning was good; Emily did good job. She observed an area that needs a filing. It will done in December at my next cleaning. 7/8/26 Cleaning good. Once again Emily did a good job. Emily makes that practice run smooth.

Dental implants are small titanium posts that we place in your jaw to act as artificial teeth roots. They are an ideal way to replace missing teeth because the implant fuses with your jawbone to form a base for new teeth. Implants also help keep your jawbone healthy by stimulating the growth of new bone.
Technically, dental implants can be removed, although it is unlikely you would ever need to have that done. Once your implants have been placed in your jawbone, they completely bond with it and can last for decades, if not the rest of your life. Your replacement teeth that are anchored to your implants have an average life span of five to 10 years.
The cost of dental implants varies, depending mainly on how many implants you receive. In some cases, you may also need another procedure, like a tooth extraction or bone grafts, to prepare for implants. We’ll discuss the cost with you during the planning stage of your implant procedure so you know exactly what to expect. In addition, financing through CareCredit can make your care manageable.
