Did You See A Shadow in Your Mouth on Groundhogs Day?

Shadows can be discolorations in your enamel, stains from daily coffee, wine or tea drinking, a root canal treated tooth that has died or old restorations that have changed colors over time. There are many ways to fix your unpleasant smile. At the office of Dr. Edwin Porter, we offer everything from whitening, to veneers, to replacing amalgams and old restorations, and even bleaching internally of old root canal treated teeth. Sometimes these services are not just needed for cosmetic reasons but just because the lifespan of the old dentistry has reached its end. Fillings, crowns, veneers, bridges, and even dentures and partials all have a lifespan that can depend on your bite, the materials used, the wear and tear you put on the restorations and the fit.
Dr. Porter uses the best materials to make our in-office Cerec crowns and only sends off dentures and partials to the best labs in America. Our quality is something that makes us stand out amongst the sea of other dental professionals here in Charlotte and surrounding areas. Our staff is friendly and helpful in making the best use out of your dental insurance. Also, remember that we still complete all the paperwork and do the filing. We want you to get the best benefit for your services and for any out of pocket expenses you may incur, we offer easy payment plans in-office or though outside financing such as Care Credit and Chase Health Financing.
Call us today for an appointment! We can start you out with an exam, x-rays and cleaning or just get you in here for a free consultation so that you may get a feel for what we have to offer. We are here to make you comfortable and at ease with the whole process. Just let us know how we can help!

Company Christmas Party

Good Morning, Charlotte!

We are waking up from a wonderful night enjoying good food and good times with our fellow employees! Dr. Porter hosted the annual Christmas party for the office and invited Chef Bill Bigham, http://www.chefbillbigham.com/home.html, to feed us for the second year in a row! We enjoyed Lobster Bisque, Pecan and Goat Cheese Salad, Steak, Halibut, Scalloped Potatoes, and finished it off with Chocolate Lava Cake with ice cream! It was fabulous as always! We even had too much fun to stop and take a photo to share! Maybe next year... !!

The office of Dr. Edwin Porter hopes that all of your travels are safe and fun this year. Remember to call us if you have an emergency or if you need to use the rest of your insurance before it runs out at the end of the year! Call us for help on maximizing what you have left in insurance monies! 704*544*5330 or Wanda@DentistryinCharlotte.com

The Most Detailed Charlotte Dentist is Waiting For You!

Charlotte has so many dentists to choose from. They come in all practice sizes, genders, and attitudes. Our office stands out for many reasons and we would like to help you understand our philosophy and standard of patient care. First of all, we are patient focused. We truly want to go at your pace and help you achieve what it is that is bothering you or giving you the most pain. We will recommend any treatment that we see as needed and then let you tell us what you’d like to start with and go from there. We offer payment plans that will fit all budgets and we will make sure to go over everything during a free consultation after your initial exam. We also have all the most up to date technology to detect cavities, make you routine cleanings as gentle as possible, and use the best labs that help us to provide crowns, bridges, implants, and other restorations that can last for years! Some other offices provide cheaper crowns to patients that will not last but a few years and then require replacing or even tooth extraction. We never want to give our patients a product that is made in a foreign lab and where the materials used are questionable. Our materials are made in the USA and contain only the highest grade of materials that will last many, many years. We also are a small office that really likes to get to know our patients. We are not a “clinic” like some other offices, nor do we treat our patients like a cattle call and have 10 patients in our waiting room waiting to be seen by the doctor for a few minutes. We usually schedule our patients one at a time and keep to that schedule. Most people don’t even get to sit down and read a magazine while they wait! During your routine cleanings, we offer a free spa service for anyone that asks and it’s so relaxing! Paraffin wax, neck pillows, and blankets…what could be better? And also, if you are really sensitive during a cleaning, we offer local anesthetic for your comfort.
Our location at the Arboretum places our dental office close to all parts of Charlotte and you will feel comfortable in our office. Dr. Porter is gentle and caring, as are all his staff. We truly want you to join our family and let us help you achieve you best dental health. Contact our office at 704-544-5330 or Wanda@DentistryinCharlotte.com to schedule a free consultation or get in for your exam, cleaning and x-rays. We can’t wait to hear from you!
