For the Sake of Your Significant Other...Take Part in a Dental Cleaning!

Husbands and wives are likely to share the same dental habits and therefore, some of the same dental problems. At the office of Dr. Edwin S. Porter, located conveniently in the Arboretum of South Charlotte, we treat families and can even accommodate seeing everyone at the same time. Save time and a trip!

For Valentine’s Day, celebrate the love of your smile. Come in for dental work or pamper yourself with a SPA CLEANING. The spa services are no extra charge and can be for anyone! Even you men out there can enjoy a relaxing hour in the chair while having your teeth cleaned. We love to make everyone comfortable and at ease while in our office. We have the most plush leather chairs, tv’s in each room, i-Pod docks for your own music, and different sedation levels for those who request it.

Can’t wait to hear from you!

What are Flexible Spending Benefits?

Flexible benefits provide eligible employees the right to allocate salary dollars - pretax - towards payment of family health and dental insurance premiums, as well as out-of-pocket medical, dental, vision care and child care expenses.

Pre-tax dollars are the real deal! Depending on your tax bracket, you’ll save up to 40 cents of each pre-tax dollar by not paying Federal, State and Social Security taxes. This translates into real money in your pocket. You can save on many approved dental expenses!

November is the month that most employers set up Flex plans and dental insurance so make sure to plan accordingly. If you have a some big dental needs, set aside a larger amout to cover them. Also, always go with a PPO dental insurance plan that allows you to get better care. DMO plans will usually send you to a clinic-based office that will have 10 patients or more in the office at one time. At Dr. Edwin Porter's office here in Charlotte, we appoint one person at a time to give you the best care and time you need.

Call us at 704-544-5330 or e-mail us at Wanda@Dentistryincharlotte.com to ask any questions that you may have aout how to use your benefits with our office, set them up with your employer, or how to get re-imburstment from your flex account. Remember if you do not use them by the end of the year, you lose them and you are giving the government free money that you have set aside for you!

Today is National Men Make Dinner Day!

Hey Men! Treat that special woman in your life to a great dinner tonight! Whether it's a steak for your wife, chicken noodle soup for your mom, or boiled turkey for your pooch, they will appreciate it!

What's on the menu tonight for our ladies? Wanda is asking for some baked salmon and a fabulous salad. Katie is craving chicken parmesan. And Samantha wants a juicy steak or sushi. When we asked Dr. Porter what he would be making for his wife tonight he replied that he makes dinner every night and tonight would be no different! He's a great husband to his wife and children.

Eat up ladies....Enjoy this one night a year :)

Free Sedation Dentistry

As fall is setting in, we want to celebrate Dental Hygiene Month with a bang! We are now offering FREE SEDATION for those who are completing qualifying dentistry! This is a great opportunity to get the crowns that you need done or move forward with the bridge that you've always needed. It's also great for those that are scared of the dentist. All we need to do is make sure you have a treatment plan and then do a pre-operative sedation appointment to gather your vitals and make sure that you are a candidate. Watch this video that Dr. Porter did to gather more information!

Call or e-mail today to reserve your spot! 704/544/5330 or Wanda@DentistryinCharlotte.com

Remember consultations are always FREE!!

Gum is Good For You??!!

Chewing sugar-free gum after a meal stimulates the production of saliva, which helps to neutralize plaque acid. Some chewing gums contain a sugar-free sweetener called xylitol, which may help to reduce decay. Keep gum handy for after meals when you don't have a toothbrush around!

Comforts of Home at our Dental Office!

At our office we provide the comforts of home while receiving the best dental care in Charlotte. Soft leather chairs surround you in each of our operatories, blankets are provided to snuggle up with, and we just added 80 inch personal movie viewing glasses so that you may watch your favorite TV show or movie while you are having dental work done. We have a coffee and hot tea bar for you to partake in a nice beverage after your appointment and also a spa-like bathroom/powder room that you may ready yourself for the rest of your day in. We also offer Spa dental cleanings when you ever feel the need to be pampered. Just remember to request this service so that we may have everything set up for you! E-mail our office if you have any suggestions you’d like to see at our office or if you’d like to experience the new feel of dentistry in Charlotte! Office@DentistryinCharlotte.com

You Can Grow a Flower but You Can't Grow a New Tooth!

It's a hot sunny day...Heat is beating down on your garden...And your flowers are soaking it in (for the most part, that is!). Have you ever thought about how easy it is to grow flowers, a bush, or even a big tree? The one thing humans don't really have the luxury at this moment in scientific history is that we cannot regrow body parts. Once you lose something it's gone for good. A prosthetic can be placed on a leg, skin can be meshed over with man-made material, and teeth...well a tooth that is missing can be replaced in many ways. Dental advances have allowed for bridges, flippers and implants to help the function and appearance of your smile. Once you lose a tooth, your face can start to sink in, your bite can be skewed causing damage to surrounding teeth, and your confidence can be lowered due to a hole in your smile. We have the technology to fix that issue. Call us today to see if we can help you achieve that perfect smile. 704-544-5330 or e-mail us at office@DentistryinCharlotte.com
