Finding a dental practice where every member of your family feels comfortable and receives exceptional care can be challenging, especially when you need to coordinate multiple schedules, treatment preferences, and varying levels of dental anxiety. Many families struggle with the inconvenience of visiting different practitioners for different needs, leading to fragmented care and missed opportunities for preventive treatment. Family dentistry offers a comprehensive solution that brings all your dental needs under one roof, providing personalized care for patients from childhood through their golden years.

At Charlotte Dental Arts, we have built our reputation on delivering outstanding family dental care that combines advanced technology with a warm, welcoming environment for patients of all ages. Dr. Edwin Porter and Dr. Robert Lowe bring decades of combined experience to serve Charlotte families with comprehensive dental services ranging from routine cleanings to complex restorative procedures. Our practice philosophy centers on building long-term relationships with families, allowing us to track your dental health over time and provide proactive care that prevents problems before they develop.

Personalized Family Dentistry Services

From teeth cleanings to x-rays and oral cancer screenings we’re the hub for all your preventive dentistry care. Each visit will be tailored to your unique needs while always offering the highest level of care. Routine visits should be maintained twice a year in order to catch early signs of dental decay and disease and prevent them altogether.
We take pride in helping your child achieve and maintain proper oral health. We provide exams and cleanings, x-rays, dental sealants, fluoride treatment, and monitor the development of oral structures like the jaw and teeth. We encourage you to bring your child to the dentist early to prevent negative associations and develop lasting oral hygiene habits.

Life loves to serve you the unexpected, doesn’t it? We’re here for you when it does with emergency dentistry. We do everything possible to provide you with same-day or next-day treatment for cracked or broken teeth, knocked-out teeth, broken restorations, bleeding gums, and toothaches in Charlotte, NC.

Whether you have a weakened or broken tooth or are missing a tooth altogether, we offer custom and cosmetic crowns and bridges in Charlotte, NC to restore your smile. Crowns restore function and health to a damaged tooth or one that has been treated with a root canal. Bridges provide a tooth replacement by “bridging” the gap left behind by missing teeth.

Composite dental fillings are the metal-free alternative to conventional cavity treatment with amalgam fillings. Composite is naturally tooth-colored and just as durable, for a strong and aesthetic result. The metal-free cavity filling solution also eliminates the risk of allergic reaction or health issues related to mercury release.

Improve the appearance of your smile with personalized care from our cosmetic dentist in Charlotte, NC. Using a variety of cosmetic dentistry services, including inlays, onlays, composite bonding, teeth whitening, and porcelain veneers, we can perfect your smile and give your confidence a boost!

Do you snore at night? Do you wake most mornings with a headache and feel fatigued even after sleeping through the night? You may have obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Night guards or custom oral appliances can open your airway and help you get the restful sleep you, and your partner, need!

If you’re grinding or clenching your teeth, have worn-down teeth, or frequently experience jaw pain you may have temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder. This can occur for a number of reasons from malocclusion (bad bite), unhealthy oral habits, as well as jaw joint problems. An occlusal adjustment or custom mouthguard may be all you need to restore proper balance, relieve your pain, and maintain your oral health.

Comprehensive Services for Every Age

Family dentistry encompasses a broad spectrum of treatments designed to meet the unique needs of patients at every stage of life, from pediatric care that introduces children to positive dental experiences to senior dental services that address age-related oral health challenges. Our approach emphasizes preventive care as the foundation of optimal oral health, incorporating regular examinations, professional cleanings, fluoride treatments, and dental sealants to protect against decay and gum disease. We also provide comprehensive restorative services including fillings, crowns, bridges, and root canal therapy when problems do arise.

Beyond basic dental care, our family practice offers cosmetic treatments such as teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, and Invisalign orthodontics to help family members achieve their ideal smiles. Our advanced CEREC technology allows us to create custom crowns, inlays, and onlays in a single visit, eliminating the need for temporary restorations and multiple appointments. This comprehensive approach means your family can receive virtually all dental treatments in one convenient location, saving time and ensuring continuity of care.

Creating Positive Dental Experiences

We understand that many patients, particularly children, may feel anxious about dental visits, which is why our team prioritizes creating a comfortable, stress-free environment for every family member. Our office features modern amenities including noise-canceling headphones, iPads, and blankets to help patients relax during treatment, while our gentle approach and clear communication help build trust and confidence. For patients with significant dental anxiety, we offer sedation dentistry options including oral sedation to ensure comfortable treatment experiences.

Building positive associations with dental care from an early age sets the foundation for lifelong oral health habits and regular dental visits. Research from the American Dental Association shows that establishing good oral hygiene practices early in life significantly reduces the risk of dental problems throughout adulthood. Our team takes special care to educate both children and parents about proper brushing and flossing techniques, dietary choices that support oral health, and the importance of regular preventive care.

Advanced Technology for Superior Results

Our commitment to providing the highest quality family dental care drives our investment in cutting-edge technology that enhances diagnostic accuracy, treatment efficiency, and patient comfort. Digital radiography reduces radiation exposure while providing clearer, more detailed images that help us detect problems that might be missed with traditional X-rays. Our intraoral cameras allow patients and families to see exactly what we see, facilitating better understanding of treatment recommendations and promoting informed decision-making.

The integration of CEREC same-day crown technology represents a significant advantage for busy families, as we can design, fabricate, and place permanent restorations in a single appointment. Dr. Porter’s extensive training and experience with digital dentistry, including his role as visiting faculty with CEREC Doctors, ensures that your family receives the most advanced care available. This technology not only saves time but also provides superior-fitting restorations that look and feel completely natural.
