Gum disease treatment ranges from a deeper professional cleaning for early inflammation through to more involved periodontal care once bone around the teeth has started to be affected. At the core of a general dental practice is preventive and restorative care: checkups, professional cleanings, fillings, and screening for decay and gum disease before either becomes a bigger problem.

Read full description

Piedmont Dentistry provides dental care on University East Drive in the Newell area of Charlotte, North Carolina. Implants are considered by many dentists the most durable way to replace a missing tooth, since the titanium post fuses with the jaw bone over several months and then supports a crown that functions much like a natural tooth. Enough healthy bone is the main prerequisite, and a graft can build that up first if needed.

Clear aligners straighten teeth through a series of custom, removable trays, each worn for one to two weeks before moving to the next in the sequence. They suit mild to moderate crowding and spacing well, and are worn roughly twenty to twenty-two hours a day for treatment to stay on schedule.

Traditional braces use brackets and wires to gradually move teeth into alignment, handling complex bite corrections and significant crowding more predictably than removable alternatives. Treatment commonly runs one to three years, with a retainer worn afterward to hold the result.

A veneer is a thin custom shell bonded to the front of a tooth to change its shape, length, or colour, most often used to address chips, gaps, or discoloration that whitening alone cannot fix. Traditional veneers require a small amount of enamel to be removed, which makes the change permanent.

Cosmetic treatment is generally the least invasive branch of dentistry, built around changing how teeth look rather than fixing something broken. Whitening and bonding sit at the lighter end; veneers and reshaping involve more planning. Most cosmetic dental insurance excludes this kind of work, since it is elective rather than medically necessary.

Root canal treatment removes infected or inflamed tissue from inside a tooth, cleans and seals the space, and allows the natural tooth to be kept rather than extracted. Its reputation for being painful is largely outdated — carried out under local anaesthetic, it typically relieves pain rather than causing it. This page has the practice's contact details and full service list. Get in touch through it to ask questions or book a visit.

How to Choose a Dentist in Charlotte

Use the ranking as a starting point, then narrow the shortlist based on the kind of care you actually need.

If you want routine or family care

Prioritize review consistency, insurance friendliness, practical hours, and a broad general-dentistry service mix over marketing language alone.

If urgency matters

Confirm same-day capacity, after-hours guidance, and whether the clinic handles urgent restorative work in-house or refers out.

If affordability matters most

Compare financing signals, insurance notes, and the local cost guide. A higher-ranked clinic is not automatically the best value for your specific treatment.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Do you accept my insurance or offer payment plans?
  • Are you taking new patients right now?
  • Do you handle my treatment in-house?
  • What is the total expected cost before treatment starts?
EditorialUpdated August 2, 2026Independently reviewed

Periodontic specialists in Charlotte practice in a private-practice-only specialist market — no dental school periodontic residency is within commuting distance of Mecklenburg County, so the Charlotte periodontist landscape is built entirely on the AAP member specialists who trained at UNC Chapel Hill, ECU Greenville, or out-of-state periodontic residency programmes and chose to establish in the Charlotte market. The surgical periodontal scope that the Charlotte periodontist must deliver — osseous surgery, connective tissue and free gingival grafting, guided bone regeneration, implant placement, and peri-implantitis management — is the same scope that the New York or Los Angeles specialist delivers, but the patient access situation is different: Charlotte's periodontal specialist supply has not kept pace with the city's population growth, and the new patient wait time at the established Charlotte periodontist practices reflects a demand that exceeds the current specialist supply in a way that larger US cities with dental school residency programme pipelines do not experience.

Smyleee evaluated Charlotte periodontic specialists on AAP membership and periodontic residency training credentials, full surgical and regenerative scope including osseous surgery, soft tissue grafting, guided bone regeneration, and peri-implantitis management, implant placement and guided surgery protocol, NC Medicaid billing where applicable, new patient wait time assessment relative to the periodontal disease urgency the patient presents, and clinical outcome consistency in bone level and soft tissue stability. These ten Charlotte practices are the periodontists the data confirmed as delivering the most clinically capable specialist periodontal care available in the Greater Charlotte market's constrained specialist supply environment.
