Implants
Replace Teeth with Dental Implants
Implants are often the best way to replace a missing tooth. The implant itself is a titanium artificial tooth root on upon which a crown is placed. Replacing missing teeth with implants will allow you to chew and smile confidently. We are proud to team up with specialist in the area to offer this service to our patients.
The dental implant is surgically inserted under local anesthetic. Once healed, the artificial root (implant) acts as a base for the visible portion of the tooth (restoration).
The dental implant can be used to replace:
- an individual tooth
- more than one tooth
- all teeth
If you are looking for an implant dentist, you’ve come to the right place. Dr. Matthews and his dedicated staff treat your family like their family, and are the team you can trust in eastern North Carolina for your dental implants. Call today to schedule an appointment!

Routine Cleanings and Exams
Dental Exams and Professional Teeth Cleanings
Everyone needs their teeth cleaned professionally at least twice a year. Some people need more frequent cleanings or deep cleanings to improve the health of their gums.
Routine Dental Check-Ups are Necessary
Routine exams are essential to discover small problems before they become bigger problems. Cavities, Gum disease, oral cancer, and other dental problems are easier and cheaper to treat in the early stages. A proper exam will include looking at both the teeth and gums as well as an oral cancer screening exam.

Snoring and Sleep Apnea
Sleep Apnea Appliances
Be free of that annoying CPAP machine!
A sleep apnea appliance can replace CPAP therapy for some patients. Many patients cannot tolerate a bulky CPAP mask and simply don’t wear it. This makes their sleep problems and health worse! A sleep apnea appliance is a mouthguard that can help you breathe and sleep properly at night. Ask Dr. Matthews if this service is right for you.
