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.
