Dental Implants Are the Best Option for Replacing Missing Teeth
NorthStar Dentistry for Adults offers permanent, natural-looking dental implants in Huntersville, NC.
Missing teeth do more than leave a gap in your smile—they can cause surrounding teeth to shift and bone tissue in your jaw to deteriorate. That’s where dental implants come in.
A dental implant is a permanent solution that replaces the lost tooth’s root using a titanium screw that fuses with your jawbone—a process called osseointegration. This creates a strong foundation for your replacement tooth, preventing bone loss and restoring full dental function.
Each implant consists of three components:
Unlike dentures or a dental bridge, dental implants are permanently fixed and offer unmatched comfort, function, and appearance. With proper care, they can last a lifetime—helping you smileThis link leads to a blog post about improving your smile, eat, and speak with total confidence.

How we replace missing teeth with natural-looking, long-lasting results.
Getting dental implants in Huntersville, NC, may sound like a big step, but we make it smooth, supportive, and stress-free from start to finish. At NorthStar Dentistry for AdultsThis link leads to Home page, Dr. Bunn tailors each treatment plan to fit your smile goals and dental history.
- Step 1: Dental implant consultation
Your first appointment includes a full review of your dental and medical history, an exam of your oral health, and digital imaging to evaluate your bone tissue. Dr. Bunn will discuss your goals, answer your questions, and build a treatment plan just for you.
- Step 2: Dental implant surgery
The implant post is placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia. If needed, procedures like bone grafting may be done to strengthen the area. The implant fuses naturally with your jaw through osseointegration—creating a sturdy base for your new tooth.
- Step 3: Restoration and results
Once the area heals and the implant is secure, we place your custom-made crown. It blends beautifully with your natural teeth and is permanently secured—restoring full dental function and self-confidence.

There are many benefits to choosing dental implants, like finally putting an end to failed or uncomfortable dental work.
Here are a few reasons why patients choose us:

When it comes to dental implants, you want an expert you can trust to do the job right.
Dr. Bunn has advanced training in both the placement and restoration of dental implants.
- He completed a residency program through the University of Florida… This text opens a new tab to the university’s website… that focused on comprehensive dentistry, especially with complex multi-specialty cases involving dental implants
- Additional training with clinical implant cases earned Dr. Bunn a fellowship in the International Congress of Oral Implantologists
- High success rate
We utilize a CBCT scanner, which shows us your teeth, bones, sinuses, nerves, and other important features all at once. This ensures Dr. Bunn can plan the precise placement of your dental implant for long-term success.
This technology also helps with faster healing times!
- All under one roof
There’s no need for the added expense and time to go to an outside provider.
You’ll have the convenience of completing your implant treatment–both surgical and restorative–right here in our office.
- No referrals needed
You don’t need a referral to receive dental implants here. Plus, we accept insurance and offer affordable payment options.
- Will dental implant treatment be painful?
All work is done with anesthetics and in some cases sedation techniques so patients do not have to feel or experience any discomfort through treatment.
Patients can expect relatively short appointments with no procedure or healing discomfort following dental implant therapy. Most patients finish the process telling us that it has been one of the more comfortable dental experiences they’ve been through.
- Are you accepting new patients?
Yes, we always welcome new patients.
Our office is located in Huntersville, NC, and serves surrounding communities, including Cornelius, Charlotte, Davidson, Rock Hill, Fort Mill, Gastonia, and Concord.
- Who is a good candidate for dental implants?
Dental implants are a great solution for most people. We can successfully place implants in patients who have:
- One or more missing teeth
- Healthy gum tissue
- A sufficient and healthy jawbone to support the implant. If not available, a bone graft may be necessary.
- General good health
Dr. Bunn and his team will be happy to help you determine if dental implants are the right option for you.
- How long does treatment with dental implants take?
The process has shortened considerably because implants and materials continue to improve since their first introduction decades ago. Dental implants for most of our Huntersville patients will have shorter treatment appointments than they have experienced in the past for dental work such as crowns and root canals.
The actual length of treatment time is also affected by other factors, such as:
- Is a bone graft necessary to place the implant?
- How many teeth are being implanted?
- Individual healing time
Generally, the actual placement of the implant post takes just one office visit. Time is needed for this to heal and integrate with the bone. This process can take a few months. Once the healing is complete, the abutment is placed, and soon after that, the implant is finished off with a crown.
- Aren't implants very expensive?
Today, the implant process has become much more affordable for patients as it has become our first choice when it comes to replacing missing teeth.
Also, providing the implant therapy start to finish in one office helps us to reduce the overall cost for patients. In some cases, the implant could have similar prices to other tooth replacement options.
Drs. Bunn and Merrill are here to deliver the personalized, high-end care you’ve been waiting for—because you deserve nothing less.
