Engel Dental Center is a dental implant and specialty dental practice located at 9330 Center Lake Drive, Suite 210, in the Wedgewood neighborhood of Charlotte, North Carolina. The practice offers implant dentistry, oral surgery, and related specialty services to patients in the 28216 zip code and surrounding north Charlotte communities including Westover Hills, Coulwood, and the University City area.
Dental implant services are a central focus at this practice. Implant treatment involves the surgical placement of a titanium post into the jawbone, followed by a healing period during which the implant integrates with the bone, and then the attachment of a custom crown to complete the restoration. The practice provides consultations to evaluate candidacy for implants, including imaging to assess bone density and structure.
Additional specialty services include bone grafting, sinus lifts, and related preparatory procedures for patients who need to rebuild bone volume before implant placement can proceed. Bone grafting is sometimes required when tooth loss has occurred over a period of years and the surrounding jawbone has resorbed.
The clinical team includes Dr. Engel and Dr. Habashi, both of whom perform implant and surgical procedures at this location. A dedicated treatment coordinator and front-office team handle scheduling, treatment planning consultation, and cost communication with patients prior to procedures. Patients considering implants are encouraged to request a full written cost breakdown at the consultation appointment before agreeing to a treatment plan.
The Center Lake Drive location is in the Wedgewood area of north Charlotte—accessible from I-85, West W.T. Harris Boulevard, and the Brookshire Freeway. Patients from Huntersville, Concord, and north Charlotte neighborhoods will find the location accessible. Parking is available in the building complex.

Visit with Dr. Habashi for an implant consult," this man is so kind guys" I'm in love with him already. Not romantically so STOP IT lol. I am new to the area and I am making this my dental office. From the moment I walked in the receptionist was kind, friendly and professional. My assistant " KRIS" also the BOMB.COM She was extra kind, professional, and made me feel very relaxed. She is the first reason I choose Engel Institute and the REAL DEAL IS DR. HABASHI. He is an angel. You have to come meet them for yourselves. They take really good care of you here, I am very pleased. Clean establishment, a huge plus, efficient and no long waiting. Thank You so much for a wonderful first dental visit in your office Engel Institute.
0 stars.Dr. Habashi performed numerous procedures including failed implants, abutments, failed grafts, enlarged crowns, sinus bump, failed bone widening, 4 unit bridge including hanging tooth (damage to one tooth can affect whole bridge), root canals, and extractions. I have been experiencing pressure in my right eye since the appointment with the failed implant and graft to my right upper mouth. He was testing my implants and it fell out, and he took them out and pushed grafting way up in my gums. The grafting still feels like rolled up gauzes in my gum. My gums are noticeably higher to my right and left upper mouth compared to my first visit there. (first x-rays and pictures and during treatment) There is swelling to my gum in the back of my 4 unit bridge in the front. Tooth 12 and 13 are extremely too big, and have been causing swelling, pain, pressing against my bottom teeth, and shifting to my other teeth. The swelling and enlarged crowns is very apparent in the photos attached. Tooth 12 and 13 is larger than my front teeth, and that isn’t normal. I requested a refund for them, but Candice told me that Dr. Habashi refuses to refund me. I informed them in writing and verbally about my concerns at the time. Dr. Habashi only gave me a partial refund. Candice made a non therapeutic comment to me about the quality of my mouth whenever I first visited there. However, that doesn’t account for the poor dental service I received, and Dr. Habashi should know his limitations. He is licensed. I wouldn’t have agreed to any of the treatment plan if I would have known about these outcomes. My teeth doesn’t look like I had over $38,000 worth of dental procedures done. I was vulnerable and wanted my smile back. This is not fair, and I feel let down.
The office is very nice and extremely patient friendly, including charging docks and work areas. The staff are all very professional and offer a higher level of expertise than you see at just any dentist office. They spent all the time I needed working through my goals and what would need to take place. You feel as if you are in good hands from start to finish and they ensure you know you can reach back out with any concerns. Very reassuring! Zarrie took all the time I needed explaining and preparing for my procedures, Candace helped with all my concerns about my treatment timeline, Cathryn helped me schedule my appointment and was there to greet me at the appointment as well and especially Dr. Engel, the whole team were all Top Notch!!👌🏼👌🏼
Amy assisted Dr. Engel today during my implant placement & she was nothing short of amazing. She made me feel so comfortable. We had the best time together. Amy & Dr. Engel were great. It was a quick & painless procedure.. I recommend .. 10 out of 10 I also would like to note that Catheryn at the front desk has been so kind to me! She has been thorough & she works in such a timely manner. She always returns my calls, & I can count on her to do what she says she is going to do. I love her !! Thanks .. Jess
I had an excellent experience from start to finish. Nyah at the front desk was welcoming, organized, and made check-in and scheduling effortless. Makoya, the dental assistant, was incredibly kind, attentive, and made sure I was comfortable throughout my visit. Candice, the treatment coordinator, was outstanding—she took the time to clearly explain my treatment options, answered all my questions, and made the entire process feel stress-free and manageable. I also want to share how meaningful my experience was with Dr. Engel. He didn’t know that I had been struggling with medically induced depression following a surgery, or that I was feeling very low and unimportant. Yet he took the time to sit down with me, look me in the eyes, and patiently answer every question I had. In that moment, he made me feel like the most important person in the room. His compassion, presence, and encouragement helped me remember that I deserve to feel good about myself. Together, we put a thoughtful plan in place to get my smile back—and he reminded me that there’s something powerful about smiling: when you do, it’s almost impossible not to feel good. This office delivers not just exceptional dental care, but genuine human care. I’m truly grateful and highly recommend them.
