Dear Valued Patient:

We hope this letter finds you and your family in good health. Our community has been through a lot over the last few months, and all of us are looking forward to resuming our normal habits and routines. While many things have changed, one thing has remained the same: our commitment to your safety.

Infection control has always been a top priority for our practice and you may have seen this during your visits to our office. Our infection control processes are made so that when you receive care, it’s both safe and comfortable. We want to tell you about the infection control procedures we follow in our practice to keep patients and stay safe.

Our office follows infection control recommendations made by the American Dental Association (ADA), the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). We follow the activities of these agencies so that we are up-to-date on any new rulings or guidance that may be issued. We do this to make sure that our infection control procedures are current and adhere to each agencies’ recommendations.

You may see some changes when it is time for your next appointment. We made these changes to help protect our patients and staff. For example:

- Our office will communicate with you beforehand to ask some screening questions. You'll be asked those same questions again when you are in the office.

- We have hand sanitizer that we will ask you to use when you enter the office. You will also find some in the reception area and other places in the office for you to use as needed.

- You may see that our waiting room will no longer offer magazines, children's toys and so forth, since those items are difficult to clean and disinfect.

- Appointments will be managed to allow for social distancing between patients. That might mean that you're offered fewer options for scheduling your appointment.

- We will do our best to allow greater time between patients to reduce waiting times for you, as well as to reduce the number of patients in the reception area at any one time.

We look forward to seeing you again and are happy to answer any questions you may have about the steps we take to keep you, and every patient, safe in our practice. To make an appointment, please call our office at 704-364-9000. 

Thank you for being our patient. We value your trust and loyalty and look forward to welcoming back our patients, neighbors and friends.

Sincerely,

Dr. Porter and Team

Why should I visit a cosmetic dentist?

A Dentist Specializing in Smile Beautification

Experience Unparalleled Aesthetics

A cosmetic dentist can help you achieve your dental goals and create your ideal smile. While some restorative dental procedures can improve certain aspects of your smile, cosmetic treatments are recommended by a dentist to specifically target aesthetic issues. 

Preview Your Results

Your satisfaction is the most important aspect of cosmetic dental treatment. Dr. Porter uses advanced technology that allows you to be highly involved in the planning and design process. You can also preview your results and make adjustments as needed. We can also treat a single tooth or your entire smile.

Choose from Diverse Treatment Options

Dr. Porter offers a broad spectrum of dentistry treatments to target your specific concerns. Often, treatments can be interchangeable, such as bonding and veneers. Our dentist can recommend the best treatment based on your specific condition, preferences, and budget. 

What treatments does Dr. Porter offer?

Comprehensive Cosmetic Treatment at Our Charlotte, NC Practice 

Veneer on fingertip

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are thin ceramic shells that are placed on the front of the teeth to conceal imperfections. Using our in-office CEREC machine, we can often place same-day veneers.

Whitening trays

Teeth Whitening

Professional teeth whitening treatments are superior to store-bought options because they are stronger and work faster. We offer both in-office and take-home whitening treatments.

Invisalign tray

Invisalign

Invisalign is a more discreet, more comfortable, and faster alternative to traditional braces which makes them a popular orthodontic treatment for teen and adult patients.

Our advanced tools and technology achieve the best results...

High-Tech Cosmetic Dentistry Detailed Design, Enhanced Precision & Full Customization

CEREC®

With an in-office CEREC machine, Dr. Porter can design and fabricate your porcelain veneers as well as dental crowns and bridges in just minutes. 

Dental Lasers

Dental lasers have transformed many treatments, such as gum reshaping and tooth recontouring, by allowing cosmetic dentists to increase precision and reduce discomfort. 

Advanced Teeth Whitening

For in-office whitening treatments, a special light is used to activate and expedite the bleaching process. You can whiten your teeth several shades in a single visit to our Charlotte, NC, office. 

Digital Preview Software

Dr. Porter can show you a digital preview of your dentistry treatment which is designed around your goals. Previewing your potential results allows you to identify any issues or improvements you would like to make to achieve your ideal outcome.

"Dr. Porter and his staff are top-notch! He has been my dentist for over 10 years and I am always satisfied with his work. He and his staff are unmatched in their skills, professionalism and care for their patients." Kerri G.

Are there any factors that can affect my candidacy for cosmetic dentistry treatments?

Your Smile Must Be Healthy Before You Can Undergo Cosmetic Care

It is essential that the foundation of your smile is in good health before you begin cosmetic treatment. Your smile should be free of gum disease and decay. However, Dr. Porter provides comprehensive dental care at his practice so he can efficiently address any concerns.

While certain cosmetic procedures can treat oral health conditions such as cracks and dental misalignment, they may not always be sufficient. For instance, while Invisalign can straighten most patients' smiles, traditional orthodontics may be necessary for severe malocclusion. Likewise, porcelain veneers may not be recommended for a tooth that is significantly weakened by damage. Instead, a porcelain dental crown or even a dental implant may be the best option. During your dentistry consultation, Dr. Porter will perform an in-depth evaluation of your oral health and recommend the best treatment for your needs and goals. 

Cosmetic dentistry sounds expensive...

We Make It Possible to Afford the Smile You Deserve

Since insurance does not typically cover this type of dentistry, many patients are worried that it is a luxury they cannot afford. However, that is not the case. Several financing options can be applied to your treatment to reduce your overall out-of-pocket cost. In addition to CareCredit®, we also offer in-house financing. Additionally, Dr. Porter can tailor treatment to suit your budget, from more cost-effective materials to an alternative procedure. 

Cosmetic dentistry can have a lasting positive impact...

Transforming Your Smile  Can Be Life-Changing

Achieve Your Smile Goals

Your treatment is customized to target the imperfections in your smile that make you feel self-conscious. After treatment, you can enjoy a new smile that compliments your features.

Improved Self-Confidence

A beautiful smile is often one of the first features others notice. Overcoming your smile insecurities can boost your self-confidence, allowing you to feel more comfortable with your appearance. 

Better Quality of Life

Increased confidence can allow you to live more freely and feel comfortable in social and work situations. Overall, most patients who undergo cosmetic treatments enjoy a better quality of life.
