Barclay Downs sits just north and west of SouthPark, and many of its homes were built from the late 1950s into the early 1970s. Houses that age tend to be updated and expanded over the years, and the people living in them often want a dentist who thinks in the long term too.
Charlotte Dental Arts is about 21 minutes from Barclay Downs at 3135 Springbank Lane, Suite 150. Dr. Edwin Porter founded the practice in 1996, and he and Dr. Robert Lowe see patients of all ages under one roof. Our general dentistry team is built for households that want one office for years.
What to Look for in a Dentist Near Barclay Downs, NC
A neighborhood with decades of history tends to have patients with decades of dental history, including fillings and crowns placed years ago. A dentist who can look after that work, and redo it when the time comes, saves you from splitting your care across several offices.
Dr. Porter has trained at the Pankey Institute, Dawson Academy, and Spear Education, and he completes more than 100 continuing education hours each year. He is a Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry, and Charlotte Magazine has named him a Top Dentist for more than 20 years. Our team has completed thousands of CEREC restorations, and the American Dental Association describes the materials used for indirect restorations, such as crowns, if you want to read about your options before a visit.
