The new year is closer than we realize. While that is a new beginning, it’s also a good reminder to schedule a dental checkup before the end of the year.
If you haven’t seen the dentist yet, here are three reasons you should plan a visit to our Charlotte, NC practice.
1. Get Your Insurance Benefits
Dental insurance plans provide some good benefits, but you aren’t getting them if you don’t visit the dentist. Since dental plans often expire at the end of the calendar year, you are losing the advantages of having dental coverage if you don’t make an appointment.
2. Protect Your Smile
Preventive services, like professional dental cleanings, can go a long way toward keeping you free from tooth decay and gum disease.
3. Deal With Problems Now
If you do have a cavity or a periodontal problem, you don’t want it to turn into a tooth infection or lost teeth. A dental exam can discover any issues and give you the opportunity to treat them as soon as possible.

For many people, Invisalign aligners are a “clear” choice. These are some reasons our patients have loved this treatment option.
1. They are Comfortable
With braces, you have brackets and wires attached to your teeth. This can be irritating to the soft tissues inside your mouth. In contrast, aligners are custom-made to fit your teeth. They also are a single piece of smooth plastic, which makes them more comfortable to wear.
2. They are Removable
You can’t take off your braces. You also should not try to take them off. Invisalign aligners are designed to be taken out for up to a few hours each day. This way, you can keep eating your favorite foods and brushing and floss your teeth normally.
3. They are Discreet
Clear aligners that are custom-made for your teeth can seem practically invisible while you are wearing them. This is one of the biggest reasons people love this treatment. It allows them to straighten their teeth without calling attention to what they are doing.

Some people go out of their to feel frightened this month, going to a haunted house or watching scary movies. One place no one wants to feel fear, though, is at the dentist. Yet many people feel a lot of anxiety about their dental appointments. We definitely don’t want you to be scared of the dentist! If you are, you tend to avoid routine care like cleanings that keep your smile healthy and attractive.
Here are five reasons you don’t have to feel fearful at Charlotte Dentistry:
- Dentists With Many Skills – Most people prefer getting their care from a dental team they already know and trust. So getting a referral to an outside doctor can create anxiety. At our office, our large staff has received advanced training in many different areas of dentistry. So you can get everything from a basic exam to a root canal from us.
- Plenty of Payment Options – Concern over finances can obviously be quite stressful. It shouldn’t be at our office because we offer many flexible options. We accept most traditional insurance plans and cash, checks, and credit cards. You can also take advantage of in-house financing for orthodontic treatment or third-party financing from CareCredit for other services.
- All Questions Answered – Our team takes the time to walk you through your treatment options and answer all of your questions so you’ll know exactly what to expect. That should help you get over any fear of the unknown. We can work with you on anti-anxiety strategies too, for example creating a signal you can use to let us know if you need a break.
- Calming Dental Sedation – You can get two kinds of soothing sedation, one of which will be right for your anxiety level and the treatment you are receiving You can receive quick-acting laughing gas, which doesn’t leave you groggy afterward, or oral sedation via a small pill. We’ll discuss both options with you and ensure you get the one that will work best for your situation.
- Fast Pain Relief – If you are hurting, it’s scary to think the discomfort may last a long time. At our office, we can usually offer you a same-day appointment if needed. We even have an after-hours emergency pager. We’ll get you feeling better ASAP!

You already know that life doesn’t always go according to plan. When bad things happen, though, you do something about it.
When those bad things happen to your smile, you can turn to our team for restorative dentistry in Charlotte, NC. You can repair your smile with any of these services:
1. Tooth Fillings
Cavities will affect almost everyone at one time or another. If you deal with them early, you can stop the decay and restore your tooth with a composite filling.
2. Dental Crowns
A crown can be used to repair a variety of tooth problems. This can include large cavities, breaks, cracks, and signs of wear and tear.
3. Root Canals
In spite of its reputation, getting a root canal at a modern dental practice like ours is really no worse than getting a filling. The root canal procedure is how we remove infected and inflamed tissue, so your tooth can look and feel as good as new.
4. Dental Bridges
Losing teeth is more common than most people think. Thankfully, fixing your smile isn’t hard when you get a dental bridge. Depending on the number of teeth you need to replace, you may prefer a traditional bridge or an implant-supported bridge. Either way, you can have a complete, healthy smile again.
