"If someone's mouth is a mess, we can put it back together," says Dr. Robert Harrell of Adult Dentistry of Ballantyne, who was selected as a 2007 Top Dentist by his peers. "We combine functional elements with cosmetic elements to transform our patients into people who have a beautiful set of functional teeth."
“I'm not satisfied with just providing average
dental care for my patients.”In 1999, Dr. Harrell established his practice with the vision of offering comprehensive, individualized care with long-term benefits for patients in need of complex, restorative dentistry and cosmetic dentistry.
Like many other progressive practices in Charlotte, services include full mouth reconstructions, implants, porcelain veneers and bonding, fillings, crowns, bridges, Invisalign orthodontics, and Zoom whitening. What sets the practice apart is its reputation for "patient-first care" and achieving amazing results.
Dr. Harrell understands that people desire to be healthy and beautiful from head to toe. "Everything is aesthetically driven," says Dr. Harrell. "My philosophy is ultimately to provide first-class dental care that lasts and functions for the long-term."
The dentist also educates patients on planned maintenance and preventative care to help save them time and expense. "Our practice educates patients on what it takes to achieve optimal health and outlines solutions to help them break free from the old model of dentistry of waiting to fix a tooth until it is completely broken and causing pain," he says.
Dr. Harrell, who has three children, also wants patients to feel that they are taken care of like family. "When I'm providing care I often think about what I would want to do if this were my wife, and I was taking care of her," he says. "I'm not satisfied with just providing average dental care for my patients."
Dr. Harrell, graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill's School of Dentistry and is a member of the American Dental Association, the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, and the American Academy of Implant Dentistry.
