About Charles Añonuevo, DDS
Dr. Charles Añonuevo studied at the University of Illinois School of Dentistry at Chicago in 2006, achieving a Doctorate in Dental Surgery. After graduating as president of his dental class, he became an Army officer and dentist. His permanent duty stations were in Fort Bragg, N.C., from 2006-2010, and Ft, Gordon, GA, from 2010-2014.
He managed the comprehensive dental needs of his fellow soldiers and other military personnel. He was awarded the Army Commendation Medal during his deployment to Iraq in 2008. He left the Army as a Major after eight years but still supports the military whenever he can.
Dr. Añonuevo was raised in Chicago with solid Christian values and a sense of responsibility to aid others in need. After graduating college at Benedictine University with a major in molecular biology and a minor in psychology, he decided the biggest impact he could have on the community was to help people smile.
Being a general dentist is his small role to make the world a better place. His commitment to the public includes volunteer activities such as “Mission of Mercy” clinics, “Give Back a Smile” program, contributing to his local church, as well as mentoring students in their pursuit of professional education, hygiene school, or a dental assistant certificate.

Dental Implant Procedures by Dr Añonuevo
Tooth Extractions
Sometimes referred to as “having a tooth pulled,” a tooth extraction is a very common oral surgical procedure in which a natural tooth is removed from the jaw. An implant may be placed after adequate healing time.
Socket Preservation
Socket preservations are simple bone grafting procedures done in conjunction with tooth extractions. The goal of socket preservation is to preserve bone for a future dental implant to be placed.
Dental Crowns
A dental crown is a cap or cover that protects the tooth and restores it to mimic natural shape, size, and function. Crowns are make of zirconia or porcelain and can be either cemented or screw-retained.
Screw Retained Crowns
A screw-retained implant crown is a single-tooth fixed restoration that is secured to a dental implant by means of a screw. Screw retained crowns are popular due to the proven long-term success they deliver.
Cemented Crowns
A cemented crown is a dental crown that is secured to a dental implant using a luting agent similar to dental crowns cemented onto natural teeth. Cemented crowns are beautiful, functional, and extremely durable.
Dental Bridges
An implant bridge or dental bridge is a permanent option that replaces multiple missing teeth. It literally bridges areas that are missing one or more teeth and fill in larger spaces with natural looking crowns.
Dentures
Often made of plastic, acrylic or hard resin, dentures are outdated replacements for missing teeth that must be removed daily for cleaning. Patients typically dislike dentures and have difficulty chewing with them.
Locator Overdentures
Also known as the LODI System, Locator overdentures use abutments (posts) and attachments (snaps) to secure a removable denture to dental implants. This system allows many patients to wear and use lower dentures.
Overdentures
Overdentures help solve many of the problems associated with wearing regular false teeth. Dental implants can anchor over dentures in place so they don’t move around when chewing, smiling, or talking.
Partial Dentures
Partial removable dentures, sometimes referred to as "partials," are removable dental appliances that replace one or more missing teeth. The replacement teeth are attached to a gum-colored acrylic base.
Implant Cosmetics
The goal of implant cosmetic dentistry is to create tooth-like restorations that are strong, mimic natural beauty and completely restore natural function. Think of cosmetic dentistry as plastic surgery for teeth.
