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!

Oral Cancer Screenings are Very Important!

When you come in to our office for your regular dental check up, Dr. Porter and our hygienist Katie are also screening you for any signs of oral cancer. Every hour of every day, someone dies of oral cancer in the United States. This serious dental disease which pertains to the mouth, lips or throat is often highly curable if diagnosed and treated in the early stages. Visiting our office for regular check ups and avoiding tobacco are the key factors in preventing oral cancer!

office@DentistryinCharlotte.com Some offices will charge you seperately for this exam...We do not believe in charging for something that is so important and should be included with all exams! You are getting the best care that you can receive at any dental office here...with us.

Custom Athletic Guards are Better than Store Bought!

Get your athletic children and family members into our office to make them a custom athletic mouthguard. Mouth formed or boil and bite mouthguards are the most commonly used mouthguard on the market. Made from thermoplastic material, they are immersed in boiling water and formed in the mouth by using finger, tongue, and biting pressure. When the athlete bites through the mouthguard during forming, the athlete increases their chance of injury, especially concussion, from a blow to the chin. That is why it is imperative to spend a few extra dollars on protection rather than a lifetime of extra dental costs. Call our office for a quote on the custom guards that are easy to make and can generally be picked up the same day! 704-544-5330 or Wanda@dentistryincharlotte.com

Toothbrush too close to the TOILET?

Just a fun tip to prevent any ickiness on your toothbrush! Dentists have recommended that a toothbrush be kept at least six feet away from a toilet to avoid airborne particles resulting from the flush. Keep your brush away from the flush!
We also can supply a toothbrush cover at your next visit for some extra protection for free! 704*544*5330

Are Sealants Right For My Child? YES!!

The most important reason for getting sealants is to avoid tooth decay. Fluoride in toothpaste and in drinking water protects the smooth surfaces of teeth but back teeth need extra protection. Sealants cover the chewing surfaces of the back teeth and keep out germs and food. Having sealants put on teeth before they decay will also save time and money in the long run by avoiding fillings, crowns, or caps used to fix decayed teeth. Help your child prepare for a healthy mouth by getting their cleaning and check-up to determine if they needs sealants! 704-544-5330

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!

Get your Child in for a Check-up and Cleaning Before School Starts!!

Start this school year with a healthy, beautiful smile - just in time for school pictures. The final days of summer are perfect times for back-to-school dental check-ups. It's back-to-school soon for our children in Charlotte, and it's time to focus on ways to brighten students’ smiles for learning success and adorable school pictures. As the school bell is set to ring and with one in four children having undiagnosed tooth decay, now is the time to give students a solid foundation for their future dental health. Proper oral hygiene is a great way to start the school year off on the right foot. A complete and comprehensive dental exam and cleaning can spell greater success in the classroom!
