Charlotte dentist pioneers a modern approach to dental care

Dentistry on Monroe is doing away with dental dread and is bringing dental care into the 21st century for patients in the Charlotte area.

The strategy: Dentistry on Monroe's owner Dr. Eric Turner uses top-of-the-line technology to deliver cosmetic, reconstructive and routine dental treatment.

• Dr. Turner is a prominent user of the Solea CO2 laser, which allows him to offer tooth-colored fillings without anesthesia (that's right — no needles).
• Using 3D scanning and printing technology, Dr. Turner can digitally design your smile, and even 3D print it so you can try it on and make changes before getting a cosmetic dental procedure done.

The result: Using this modern tech allows for maximum precision and comfort while caring for and creating a smile you love.

Dr. Turner is also changing the game in the dental space — he's the only dentist to offer customized guided anesthesia and has filed for a patent on this new way to deliver a highly effective numbing effect with fewer injections.

• How it's done: Using 3D x-ray and tooth scanning technology, Dr. Turner pinpoints where the numbing medicine needs to go, and then 3D prints a guide that directs the medicine to its target.
• The benefits: Less injection soreness, lesser chance of nerve damage and increases comfort while minimizing the number of injections.

Here's what else: Dr. Turner is committed to creating a welcoming, fear-free environment for his patients. He's the only doc at the practice, so you know exactly who you're seeing each time you come in.

• Plus, even if you're just coming in for a routine clean, you'll enjoy ceiling-mounted TVs with streaming entertainment and noise cancelling headphones to enhance your visit.

The takeaway: With their modern approach and mastery of technology, Dr. Turner and the team at Dentistry on Monroe are your go-to for all of your dental needs.
