We value the doctor/patient relationship and offer the best treatment for you regardless of your dental insurance status. It is important to us that we serve you, and not your insurance company. We understand that dental plans can be confusing, so our team members are here to help you navigate and maximize your benefits so you can get the treatment you need.

CareCredit and Cherry are easy to apply for either in our office or at home online, and you’ll always receive a quick response. CareCredit and Cherry offer monthly plans that are interest-free.

Yes, worn-down teeth can be prevented through good oral hygiene and certain preventative behaviors. A few of the most effective are listed below.
Ways to Prevent Teeth from Becoming Worn Down
To prevent the wearing down of teeth, it’s recommended that individuals do the following:
- Brush and floss regularly – oral hygiene is crucial in preventing tooth wear; brushing at least twice a day and flossing daily remove the plaque and bacteria that can erode teeth
- Limit acidic foods and drinks – acidic foods and drinks, such as citrus fruits, sodas, and coffee, can erode tooth enamel and cause tooth wear
- Wear a mouthguard – for anyone who grinds their teeth at night, wearing a mouthguard can be helpful in preventing tooth wear
- Visit the dentist regularly – regular dental checkups can help detect tooth wear before it becomes a serious issue
- Address bite issues – bite issues like an overbite or underbite can make teeth more prone to wear and should be treated by a dentist as a preventative measure
Worn Down Teeth in Charlotte, NC
If you’re in the Charlotte area and looking to prevent or address tooth wear, contact dentist Dr. Heather Gentry and the team at Gentry Dental to schedule a consultation appointment.
Many of our patients don't have dental insurance, or if they do, it has a very small maximum amount per year that is quickly used up. Having dental insurance can be a helpful benefit; however, if you don't happen to have it, there are options available to help you get the dentistry you need affordably. At Gentry Dental, we offer the Dental Savings Plan, which is an in-office dental savings plan in Charlotte, NC designed specifically for patients without dental insurance.
In-Office Dental Savings Plan
Our plan is like a membership program with an annual fee. The membership includes cleanings, x-rays, and exams with no additional out-of-pocket cost to you. All dental work, such as fillings, crowns, implants, Invisalign, and other services, is offered to members of the Dental Savings Plan at a discount. You also receive the benefit of no waiting periods, no deductibles, and no denials of treatment you need. Additional family members will receive a reduced annual membership fee to help families get the treatment they need.
Regular visits to the dentist are also important for achieving and maintaining optimum oral health. Dr. Gentry is able to detect many dental issues such as oral cancer, gum disease, tooth decay, and cavities when you come in for an examination every six months. This allows Dr. Gentry to treat dental concerns with less complicated or invasive procedures.
