WHY CHARLOTTE FAMILIES CHOOSE US

The Charlotte Dental Arts Difference

Over 25 years of patient-first dentistry, advanced credentials, and a simple philosophy: we only recommend what we would do for ourselves.

01

20+ Years as Charlotte's Top Dentist

Dr. Porter has been recognized as Top Dentist by Charlotte Magazine for over 20 consecutive years — a distinction earned through consistent clinical outcomes and genuinely patient-centered care.

02

6,000+ CEREC Same-Day Restorations

Our in-office CEREC technology lets us design, mill, and place custom crowns in a single appointment — no temporaries, no second visits, no waiting weeks for a lab.

03

WIDIOM Philosophy

Every treatment recommendation is guided by one question: Would I Do It On Me? This commitment means you’ll only receive care that meets the standard Dr. Porter holds for his own family.

04

Diplomate Implant Credentials

Dr. Porter holds a Diplomate designation in the International Congress of Oral Implantologists — alongside his Fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry — placing him among a select group of credentialed implant practitioners.

05

One Roof, Comprehensive Care

From your child’s first cleaning to your own full mouth reconstruction, we handle virtually everything in-house — so you stop being referred out for every procedure.

06

100+ CE Hours Annually

Trained at the Pankey Institute, Dawson Academy, and Spear Education, Dr. Porter invests 100+ hours per year in continuing education — so Charlotte patients always receive care built on current techniques.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

Have a question not answered here? Call us at (704) 544-5330 or send us a message.

Charlotte Dental Arts is an out-of-network practice, meaning we are not contracted with insurance plans. However, we work hard to help patients with out-of-network dental benefits maximize their coverage. Our financial coordinator reviews your benefits before your appointment and files claims on your behalf. Many patients find their out-of-network coverage still significantly offsets the cost of care. Learn more about our insurance and financing options.

We have you covered. Our Premier Dental Savings Program is an in-house membership plan designed to make comprehensive dental care accessible and affordable without insurance. We also offer financing through CareCredit, Cherry, and Proceed.

A complimentary consultation is a no-obligation appointment where you meet with our team, discuss your smile goals, and understand your options — before committing to anything. We also offer complimentary second opinions if you’ve received a treatment recommendation elsewhere. Request yours today.

We’ve spent over 25 years making every patient feel at ease. Beyond comfort amenities — headphones, iPads, blankets — we offer sedation dentistry options for patients who need extra support relaxing. Dr. Porter’s WIDIOM philosophy means your comfort matters as much as your clinical outcome.

Yes — with 6,000+ completed CEREC cases, same-day crowns are a specialty here. Our in-office CEREC technology lets us design, mill, and place a custom ceramic crown in one appointment. No temporary crown, no second visit.

The best way to know is through a comprehensive evaluation with Dr. Porter. Bone density, gum health, and your overall oral health all play a role. We offer complimentary implant consultations to answer this question. For patients missing multiple or all teeth, we also offer the All-on-4 protocol for a full arch of permanent teeth, often in a single appointment.
