We Use the Most Advanced Technology
We utilize advanced dental tools and technologies to deliver modern dentistry with your comfort and safety in mind.

A smile that reflects the care you received.
Our Trusted Brand of Dentistry
Prevention is key when it comes to maintaining a healthy mouth. Even without current dental concerns, regular visits every six months are essential. These checkups allow us to catch small issues—like cavities or gum disease—before they become major problems.
During your appointments, we assess your oral health, take X-rays to uncover hidden concerns, remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains, polish your teeth, and perform oral cancer screenings. Our ultrasonic scaler gently cleans your teeth, offering a much more comfortable experience than traditional scraping. We also provide guidance to help you maintain excellent oral care at home.
Together, we’ll design a personalized preventive care plan tailored to your needs. By focusing on prevention, we help you save time, reduce stress, and avoid costly dental problems down the road. Our comprehensive hygiene services ensure your teeth and gums remain healthy for years to come.

My husband and I had our first appointment yesterday at Carolinas Dentist in Gastonia. From the moment we walked in the door until we left, we were impressed with every aspect of the office, the staff, everyone's professionalism and our new dentist. We are so grateful for such a positive experience!
Dr. Pearson was absolutely amazing. She truly listened to all of my concerns and went above and beyond to create the best possible care plan for me. I never felt rushed and felt genuinely heard the entire time. The dental assistant was also beyond amazing—so kind, genuine, and made me feel completely comfortable. I’m really grateful for the level of care and compassion I received. Highly recommend!
Clean, modern facility. Top quality technology. Patient-focused care.Special shout out for Dr. August Pearson and her assistant Nai for a great dental experience. I needed a crown. They gave me outstanding care, professional service, empathy and patience during the virtually pain-free visit.I voiced my concerns & they showed me kindness and understanding. With fears from past dental experiences, alleviated and all my questions asked and answered, I was able to relax and not overthink "what's next".I give 2 thumbs up for Dr. Pearson. Anyone needing professional dentistry services should book their next appointment at Carolina Dentist.
