Rooted in Moore County
Our office on Capital Boulevard in Carthage serves patients from Pinehurst, Aberdeen, Whispering Pines, Seven Lakes, and across Moore County. The Sandhills has a wonderful mix of young families and retirees, and both benefit from the same thing: a dependable dental home that knows their history and keeps care close by. We see you regularly, watch for changes over time, and handle most of your needs in one place.
Why Prevention Comes First
Almost every expensive dental problem starts small and silent. A routine cleaning every six months, paired with exams, X-rays, and gum checks, lets us catch a cavity while it’s a quick filling and stop gum disease before it threatens your teeth. Especially as we age, staying consistent keeps treatment minimal and protects the teeth you have. Prevention isn’t just healthier — it’s the most affordable dentistry there is.
Sealants as Part of Preventive Care
Sealants fit naturally into our prevention-first approach. They’re a protective resin coating placed over the pitted chewing surfaces of the molars, closing off the narrow grooves where cavities most often take hold. The application is fast and completely painless, and a single sealant can guard a tooth for years. While they’re most common for children and teens, we also recommend them for adults whose molars have deep grooves or who tend to get decay in those spots.
General Dentistry Services
Comprehensive Exams and Digital X-rays
We examine your teeth, gums, and bite and use digital X-rays to find decay, infection, and bone changes early, with oral cancer screening at each visit.
Cleanings and Gum Care
Cleanings remove buildup brushing misses, and we evaluate your gums for early disease, providing periodontal maintenance when it’s appropriate.
Fillings, Crowns, and Extractions
We restore cavities with natural-looking fillings, strengthen damaged teeth with crowns, and gently remove teeth that can’t be saved.
Preventive and Protective Care
Fluoride when it helps, and custom nightguards for patients who grind or clench.
Urgent and Same-Day Visits
For pain or a broken tooth, we keep room for emergencies and offer same-day appointments when we can.

When It's Time to Book
Reach out if:
- It’s been over six months since your last visit
- A tooth is sensitive or painful
- Your gums bleed or look swollen
- You broke a tooth or lost a filling
- You’re missing teeth or have a loose denture
- Your jaw is sore or clicks
- Bad breath persists
- You’d like a second opinion on a proposed treatment
How We Plan Your Care
When treatment is needed, we explain the findings, show you the options, and let you decide at your own pace — no pressure. A plan might be a simple filling, a crown, or a longer path toward implants, dentures, Invisalign, or cosmetic work. We help you sort what’s urgent from what can wait so nothing sneaks up on you.
New Patients and Long-Overdue Patients Welcome
If it’s been years since your last cleaning, or if dental visits make you anxious, there’s no judgment here — just a friendly team ready to help you ease back in. We move at a comfortable pace, explain everything, and take things one step at a time.
Cost and Payment Options
Your cost depends on the exam findings, X-rays, your insurance, and the treatment itself, and we share clear pricing before starting. We accept most major insurance and verify benefits first. For balances, our in-house O2 Advantage Plan plus CareCredit and Sunbit financing spread treatment into manageable monthly payments.
