Elevate Holistic Dental
Restorative Dentistry
Elevate Holistic Dental believes in root cause dentistry to do all we can to preserve your natural teeth and support whole body wellness. We use minimally invasive techniques and supportive solutions, like lasers and ozone, to heal and promote speedier recoveries. We offer dental biocompatibility testing, metal free restorations, BPA free fillings, and more to restore your smile to health and beauty.
We can't always save the tooth. Sometimes the infection or injury is too deep and requires intervention to replace and protect what remains. When restorations are necessary, we retain as much of your natural tooth as possible while using biocompatible materials and supportive therapies for the greatest success.
Our Restorative Services
Our restorative dentistry services combine advanced structural repair with a strict commitment to your whole-body health. We use conservative, minimally invasive techniques and non-toxic, metal-free materials to restore full chewing function and protect your long-term wellness.
Dental Implants
We specialize in biocompatible ceramic dental implants, which provide a beautiful, strong, and highly tissue-friendly alternative to traditional titanium and integrate seamlessly with your jawbone without causing systemic metal reactivity.
Crowns & Bridges
Custom-crafted from high-strength, all-ceramic materials, our crowns and bridges strengthen weak teeth and replace missing ones. They blend seamlessly with your smile while completely eliminating the risks of metal allergies and toxic reactions.
Mercury Free Fillings
We use tooth-colored, mercury-free composite fillings to safely repair cavities and dental damage. These biocompatible materials blend flawlessly with your teeth and require less drilling, preserving more of your natural tooth structure.
Full & Partial Dentures
We offer a variety of denture options to seamlessly fit your specific tooth-replacement needs. Whether anchored by your remaining natural teeth or stable dental implants, these options comfortably restore your smile's stability and function.
Periodontal Therapy
Our biological periodontal therapy uses deep cleanings, medical ozone, and DNA testing to eliminate harmful bacteria at the root. Our holistic approach stops gum disease in its tracks while intercepting risks before they advance.
Full Mouth Reconstruction
This comprehensive, carefully phased treatment plan completely rebuilds heavily damaged smiles. By combining multiple biological treatments, we comfortably restore your jaw alignment, eliminate infections, and create a perfectly balanced bite.

Dental Biocompatibility Testing
To ensure you receive the safest material, we use dental biocompatibility testing or dental allergy testing to see how your body responds to various types of dental materials, ensuring you get the best and safest solution for your health.
This is done by taking a small blood sample and testing it against various types of materials. A dental metal allergy is the most common reaction, which is why we use metal-free solutions for all our restorations, including implants, bridges, and crowns.
State-Of-The-Art Equipment
In addition, we have state-of-the-art equipment to provide fast and safe results by creating restorations in the office with our 3D printer and mill. We can provide custom, high-quality products from biocompatible materials, without the added wait time of shipping them off to a lab.
We provide holistic biological dentistry with the safest methods and solutions to support a healthy mouth and body. We pride ourselves on delivering high-quality, customized products from the best materials for each patient's unique needs. Contact us to schedule a consultation with our holistic biological dentist, Dr. Eric Kempter, and his compassionate team.
Dental Crowns & Bridges
At Elevate Holistic Dental, we provide metal-free dental crowns and bridges designed to rebuild your smile while supporting your entire body's wellness. When a tooth is severely weakened, cracked, or missing entirely, these custom-crafted, all-ceramic restorations step in to protect your natural teeth and seamlessly fill the gaps. Dr. Eric Kempter takes a strict biological approach to restorative care, using minimally invasive techniques to preserve your natural tooth structure and using only non-toxic, highly biocompatible materials that blend beautifully with your natural smile.
Dental Crown Restorations
When a tooth is cracked, deeply decayed, or weakened above the gumline, a dental crown acts as a protective cap to restore its structural integrity, full chewing function, and natural alignment. At Elevate Holistic Dental, we take a full-body approach to restorative care. We use the safest, minimally invasive techniques to preserve as much of your natural tooth as possible, prioritizing materials that support your body's natural healing abilities.
Unlike traditional offices that use metal-fused restorations, which can trigger common dental allergies and immune stress, we exclusively use all-ceramic, metal-free crowns. Ceramic offers exceptional biocompatibility, strength, and an enamel-like luster that blends seamlessly with your smile. To ensure absolute safety, we also offer dental allergy testing to confirm every material used is fully compatible with your body.
Our Process
After gently numbing the area, we remove any decay and apply ozone therapy to deeply disinfect the tooth structure. We then take precise impressions to custom-craft your crown, permanently bonding the final, biocompatible restoration into place to protect your smile and your long-term wellness.
Biocompatible Tooth Replacement with
Zirconia Bridges
A zirconia bridge is an all-ceramic, metal-free restoration designed to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring to surrounding natural teeth or dental implants. Because zirconia is highly strong, durable, and matches the natural shade of your teeth, it provides an aesthetic result without the risks of dark metal margins. As a biological practice, we prioritize this non-toxic material to eliminate the risks of oral galvanism (electrical currents between different metals), metal allergies, and chemical irritation, ensuring your restoration actively supports your whole-body wellness.
Biological Care &
Long-Term Maintenance
Because a bridge leaves a micro-gap between the replacement tooth and your gum line, proper hygiene is essential to prevent bacterial buildup. We recommend using specialized water flossers or metal-free interdental proxy brushes to safely clean underneath the framework without scratching the ceramic.
To ensure the highest level of systemic safety before your procedure, Elevate Holistic Dental offers comprehensive biocompatibility testing to screen for material sensitivities. For cases requiring extractions prior to bridge placement, we integrate advanced biological therapies like medical ozone and Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) grafting to accelerate tissue healing, disinfect the site, and secure a strong foundation for your new smile.
Full & Partial Dentures
Customized Options for Tailored Stability
Dentures are removable appliances designed to replace missing teeth, restoring both oral function and facial aesthetics. At Elevate Holistic Dental in Charlotte, NC, we provide custom dentures crafted entirely from metal-free, premium resins and ceramics. By eliminating metal clasps, wings, and hidden frameworks, we protect your body from oral galvanism and metal sensitivities while delivering a completely seamless, natural look that Dr. Eric Kempter precisely color-matches to your smile.
We offer three distinct configurations depending on your specific structural needs:
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain, but there are missing teeth with spaces needing to be filled. Replacing these missing teeth with a denture transforms your smile and helps prevent your natural teeth from shifting. Natural teeth secure partial dentures.
Full Dentures
Full dentures can replace all teeth and stay in place by suction to the gums and roof of the mouth. For full dentures requiring extra strength, a dental adhesive can be applied. Additionally, a denture can be used along with dental implants for the most stability.
Implant-Supported Dentures
We also offer dental implant-supported dentures. These are dentures supported by dental implants rather than by the gums. Implant-supported dentures are more stable than traditional dentures, can provide better functionality, and have a natural look and feel.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain, but there are missing teeth with spaces needing to be filled. Replacing these missing teeth with a denture transforms your smile and helps prevent your natural teeth from shifting. Natural teeth secure partial dentures.

Benefits of Dentures
Replacing missing teeth goes far beyond cosmetic restoration; it is a foundational step in reclaiming your systemic health, confidence, and daily vitality. At Elevate Holistic Dental, Dr. Eric Kempter crafts biological full and partial dentures using advanced, metal-free resin materials designed to blend seamlessly with your natural smile. Investing in these custom-designed, non-toxic restorations provides extensive benefits for your daily well-being:
Metal-Free Biocompatibility

Enhanced Nutritional Intake
Restores efficient chewing mechanics, allowing you to comfortably eat a diverse, nutrient-dense diet.
Corrected Speech Articulation
Fills the gaps that cause phonetic shifts, allowing you to speak naturally and confidently.
Optimized Jaw Posture
Supports the structural alignment of your bite, preventing jaw joint strain and muscle fatigue.
Seamless, Natural Aesthetics
Each restoration is meticulously color-matched by Dr. Kempter for a flawless, realistic appearance without visible metal hardware.
Systemic Defense
Prevents remaining natural teeth from drifting out of alignment, protecting you against secondary bone loss and localized gum issues.

Mercury Free Fillings
When a tooth needs to be filled, we use mercury-free (or “BPA-free”) fillings to repair cavities. We use these tooth-colored fillings to protect your tooth after the decay has been treated. We never recommend mercury fillings. We provide mercury filling removal for those with old silver fillings that are concerned about the impact they may be having on their health.
Periodontal Therapy
A Holistic Approach to Gum Disease
At Elevate Holistic Dental, your oral and overall health is our top priority. Gum disease is an incredibly common problem affecting two out of five adults in the U.S., yet it often goes entirely unnoticed because it varies so heavily in severity, ranging from silently puffy gums to advanced bone loss around the teeth. If left untreated, this chronic oral infection does more than damage your mouth; it increases your risk of severe systemic conditions like heart disease and diabetes.
When an active infection causes deep pockets to form around your teeth, standard cleanings are no longer enough to protect you. That is why we provide comprehensive, holistic periodontal therapy and laser gum treatment in Charlotte, NC, designed to stop the progression of gum disease in its tracks. Our biological approach combines traditional standards of care, like scaling and root planing, with advanced therapies to eliminate infection above and below the gumline efficiently. By targeting the root cause of the issue while supporting a smoother, faster recovery, we help protect your smile and honor your whole-body health.
Our Advanced Treatment Protocol
Your customized periodontal therapy incorporates a combination of these targeted modalities:
Deep Cleaning (Scaling & Root Planing)
Using a gentle ultrasonic device alongside precision hand instruments, we carefully remove hardened tartar and bacteria from beneath the gumline, smoothing the tooth roots so your gums can cleanly reattach and heal.
Ozone Therapy
We introduce ozone gas to deeply disinfect the pockets and roots, kill pathogens on contact, desensitize the teeth, and dramatically speed up the natural healing time of your gum tissue.
MyPerioPath® Diagnostic Testing
We use this advanced salivary DNA test to map your unique oral microbiome. By identifying the exact bacterial strains driving your infection, we can move away from one-size-fits-all treatments and target your specific pathogens with absolute precision, while also tracking your healing progress objectively over time.
Full Mouth Reconstruction
A full mouth reconstruction is a comprehensive, tailored approach to rebuilding or restoring all the teeth in your mouth. Led by Dr. Eric Kempter in Charlotte, NC, this treatment seamlessly combines advanced restorative and cosmetic dentistry to address multiple complex dental issues simultaneously. By treating the underlying structural issues alongside cosmetic enhancements, a full mouth reconstruction delivers profound benefits: it delivers restored function so you can eat, speak, and chew with absolute confidence and comfort; provides enhanced aesthetics to help you achieve a natural-looking, beautiful, and harmonious smile; and ensures improved longevity by resolving active decay and infection, protecting your overall oral health, and safeguarding your dental investment for years to come.

The Step-by-Step Process

Whether your care includes strong crowns, custom veneers, biological implants, or teeth straightening, we space out the treatments in easy stages.
