Van Kesteren Christopher DDS

Periodontal care and dental implants occupy a quiet but essential niche in oral health—specialties that bridge the gap between routine dentistry and long-term solutions for gum disease or missing teeth. These services often address concerns that general practitioners refer out, from gum grafting to the placement of implant-supported crowns. For patients navigating these needs in Charlotte, the options include practices that focus solely on periodontics and implantology, avoiding the broader scope of family dentistry.

Van Kesteren Christopher DDS operates out of a professional suite at 2315 W Arbors Dr #100, positioned in a stretch of Charlotte that balances medical offices with residential convenience. The area, near the intersection of Arbors Drive and West WT Harris Boulevard, offers easy access for those coming from University City or the surrounding northern suburbs. Implant consultations and periodontal maintenance—services that demand precision and follow-up—are among the practice’s listed specialties.

Dental implants, in particular, require a methodical approach: initial assessments, potential bone grafting, and the eventual placement of the post and restoration. Periodontal therapy, meanwhile, might involve scaling and root planing or surgical interventions for advanced gum disease. These procedures aren’t one-time fixes but part of an ongoing relationship between patient and specialist; 704-549-4991 connects directly to the office for appointments or questions about treatment plans.

First visits typically start with a detailed evaluation—x-rays, gum measurements, and discussions about medical history. For those mapping out their route, the practice’s directions place it just north of the UNC Charlotte campus, a location that serves both students in need of specialized care and longtime residents managing chronic periodontal issues.
