What Dr. Pinnix's AACD Accreditation
Means for You
Any dentist can call themself a cosmetic dentist, but if you're considering a treatment like veneers, teeth whitening, or Invisalign®, you want a dentist who has proven their excellence in the specialty.
Dr. Pinnix stands a level above other cosmetic dentists in Charlotte thanks to his Accredited Membership in the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. Accreditation is a great honor granted only to professionals who pass a rigorous protocol that includes multiple stages of evaluation. This is the most in-depth peer-reviewed accreditation process in cosmetic dentistry.
Dr. Pinnix is the only dentist in Charlotte and one of only 10 in all of North Carolina who has earned AACD accreditation. You can trust him to provide the very highest level of care when it comes to cosmetically enhancing your smile.
The Dramatic Results Of Cosmetic Dentistry
Dr. Pinnix's cosmetic skill is apparent in the results his patients receive. This woman's compromised smile was transformed with a set of custom porcelain veneers.

Preview Your New Smile with Our Digital Smile Design Services
Digital smile design is a state-of-the-art technology that allows us to exceed patient expectations and encourage patient involvement. By previewing simulated images of your results, you can give your opinion and suggest changes before starting treatment. Drs. Pinnix and Betancourt will customize your procedure based on your goals, feedback, and personal preferences. We can even combine treatments for more dramatic enhancement.
Dr. Pinnix completed a mini-residency at the NYU Dental School to master the art of digital smile design. Using our 3D cone-beam scanner and intraoral scanner, we can create digital models of your smile to precisely plan and place your restorations and help you preview your results.

Have been a patient for many years. Broke a crown on Wednesday afternoon. Thursday morning I was in the chair getting the repair done.
Can’t say enough good things about advanced dentistry. It is truly personal dentistry.
