Dentist for Concord, NC Residents

The Smile Architects offers a complete lineup of dental treatments for patients in and around Concord, NC.

Preventive Dentistry

Routine preventive visits can help you avoid larger dental problems down the road. Services such as cleanings, comprehensive exams, oral cancer screenings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, and sealants for children and teens can help catch issues early. A consistent preventive care routine is typically one of the best ways to help keep your smile healthy over the long term.

Restorative Dentistry

Our approach to restorative dentistry aims to rebuild teeth in a way that mirrors their natural shape and function whenever possible. Treatment options include tooth-colored composite fillings, crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, dentures, and dental implants. We focus on preserving as much of your natural tooth structure as we can while working toward a lasting result.

Cosmetic Dentistry

Many patients feel self-conscious about their smile. The team at The Smile Architects can help you work toward a look you feel good about, using techniques designed to keep results looking natural. Options include teeth whitening, cosmetic bonding, veneers, microabrasion, and gum contouring. We take time to talk through your goals so any recommended treatment plan fits what you are hoping to achieve.

Invisalign

Invisalign can be a discreet alternative to traditional braces for patients who want straighter teeth. The system relies on a series of clear removable aligners that gradually shift teeth into position, and they are simple to wear, take out, and clean. Bring up Invisalign with our team at your next visit to see if it may be a fit for you.

Same-Day Restorations

Our office uses CEREC same-day technology, which can produce custom crowns, inlays, and onlays in a single visit. A digital intraoral scanner builds a 3D model of the treatment area, and the dentist uses that model to design a restoration that the CEREC machine then mills on-site. This process can significantly cut down on the processing time typically needed when a restoration is sent out to an outside lab.

Dental Implants

Dental implants fall under the umbrella of restorative dentistry, and they can also make a noticeable difference in how a smile looks and functions. An implant is a titanium post placed in the jawbone to serve as an artificial tooth root, topped with an abutment that supports a crown shaped to replace the missing tooth. Implants are designed to hold up over many years and typically require only routine care to maintain.

Pediatric Dentistry

Starting dental visits early can help children build good habits that support oral health well into adulthood. Kids typically need regular exams, X-rays, cleanings, fluoride treatments, and sealants. Our office also offers restorative treatment for younger patients, including fillings and crowns, when needed.

Sleep Apnea

Obstructive sleep apnea, the most common form of the condition, happens when soft tissue blocks the airway during sleep, which can cause breathing to repeatedly stop and start through the night. Left unaddressed, it may contribute to poor sleep and has been linked to health concerns such as heart disease and diabetes. The Smile Architects can provide custom oral appliances designed to help position the jaw, keep the airway open, and support a more restful night of sleep. Supporting your dental health and overall wellness is always a priority for our team.

Periodontal Care

Gum disease can become a serious issue if it is left untreated. Ongoing infection below the gumline can damage the surrounding bone and eventually cause teeth to loosen or fall out, and gum inflammation has been associated with conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and preterm birth. Our team offers periodontal treatment aimed at protecting your gums and helping you keep your natural teeth.
