Pearl. Dentistry Reimagined

Pearl. Dentistry Reimagined is the practice on South Tryon Street in Uptown, holding a 4.9 rating across more than 1,300 reviews. The whole place is designed so that a visit does not feel like a dental appointment, and patients with long standing dental anxiety say they leave without dreading the next one. Clinicians show you photographs of your own teeth and explain the reasoning behind any recommendation. Nobody here is simply told what needs doing. New patients report a first visit that runs smoothly and does not turn into a long sales conversation.
