Turn right and stay on Providence Road north for about 5.4 miles, crossing from Union County into Mecklenburg and passing the I-485 interchange at Providence Road.

A Family Dental Home Just North of Weddington
Weddington sits in the northwestern corner of its county, about 15 miles southeast of Charlotte and 14 miles northwest of downtown Monroe. The town is made up almost entirely of single-family homes on lots of an acre or more. Only 27 of its roughly 11,000 acres are zoned for business, and that small Town Center sits where Providence Road meets NC 84. With so little commercial land in town, everyday errands, dental visits included, usually mean a short drive.
The town was incorporated on May 2, 1983, and was home to roughly 13,000 residents at the 2020 census. Town Hall occupies the Thomas-Wrenn House, a locally designated historic home built in 1894. The town also points to the Hemby House as one of its oldest family homes. You can read more on the Town of Weddington history page.
Our office suits households that want one place for everyone. Parents, grandparents and kids can all be seen here, and the team can meet most dental needs in one location, from sealants and cleanings to crowns, implants and wisdom teeth. Digital x-rays and intraoral scanners help our dentists explain what they find in plain terms.
School-Age Smiles and Busy Weddington Households
The town's community links list Weddington High and Middle, plus Antioch and Rea View elementaries, all in the UCPS district. Children in those classrooms need checkups twice a year, sealants on new molars and quick attention when a tooth chips. A 7:00 AM appointment lets a student be seen before school starts.
The teen years bring their own decisions. Wisdom teeth are often evaluated in high school, and our office handles wisdom teeth extraction in-house. Teens and parents who want straighter teeth can also talk with our dentists about SureSmile clear aligners.
Sports and active play bring the occasional chipped or knocked-out tooth. Established patients can reach our after-hours emergency line, with one of our dentists typically on call. New patients without insurance can book the $59 Emergency Exam & X-Ray. For significant swelling or trouble breathing, speaking or swallowing, the emergency room comes first.
At home, young children do best with a parent's help brushing until their own skills catch up, plus flossing once neighboring teeth touch. Water is the best drink between meals. Sticky snacks are kinder to teeth at mealtime than grazed on all afternoon.
Families without insurance do not have to put off routine care. The In-Office Coverage Plan lets you add children and teens to an adult membership for a set yearly price, and it covers checkups, cleanings and routine x-rays. Members also save 15% on the cash price of advanced treatment.
Adults benefit from the same steady schedule. Oral cancer screenings are part of our routine exams, and Dr. Sobin has advanced training in periodontal procedures for gums that need more than a standard cleaning. If a tooth breaks, CEREC can often rebuild it with a new crown before you head home.
Beyond a Dentist in Weddington, NC: Care Just Up Providence Road
Family Dentistry
Checkups, cleanings, sealants and oral cancer screenings for every age, starting with a child's first visit. Siblings and parents can keep their records in one office, which simplifies scheduling for busy households.
Wisdom Teeth Extraction
When x-rays show wisdom teeth crowding or coming in at an angle, removal can often happen right here. Dr. Sobin's advanced training in oral surgery supports that care for teens and young adults.
Same-Day Crowns
CEREC technology lets our dentists design, mill and place a crown in a single visit. Patients skip the temporary crown and the second drive.
SureSmile®
SureSmile clear aligners straighten crowded or gapped teeth without brackets, and they come out for meals and brushing. Adult Plan members save $500 on treatment.
Dental Implants
CBCT scanning and guided implant surgery help our dentists place implants with careful planning. Parents and grandparents replacing a lost tooth can have the work done close to home.
Meet Your Charlotte Dental Team
Both of our dentists earned their DMD at the Medical University of South Carolina. Dr. Dylan Sobin, a South Carolina native and Clemson University graduate, went on to the AEGD program at Augusta University, while Dr. Ian Alvey completed his residency in Asheville before returning to the Charlotte area. Together they treat everything from a first cleaning to wisdom teeth and implants.
Insurance, Membership & Financing
We accept most major dental insurance carriers, and our team prepares a free cost estimate before treatment begins. Out of network, many patients can still put their benefits to work. CareCredit financing, credit cards, cash and checks are all accepted for crowns, implants and other larger work.
Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Mint City Dentistry from Weddington, and how do I get there?
Mint City Dentistry is about 5.7 miles from Weddington Town Hall, roughly a 10-minute drive. Take Weddington Road (NC 84) briefly west, then Providence Road (NC 16) north to Arboretum Shopping Center Dr. Patients weighing a dentist in Weddington, NC against our office can make the whole trip on one main road.
Do you treat cavities in baby teeth?
Yes. Our family dentistry includes children, and our dentists repair cavities in baby teeth with tooth-colored fillings when needed. Baby teeth hold space for the adult teeth coming in behind them, so a neglected cavity can cause pain or crowding later. Regular checkups and sealants help keep small problems from growing.
Is the In-Office Coverage Plan paid monthly?
No. The In-Office Coverage Plan is an annual membership paid in full at enrollment. The Adult Plan is $425 a year, and additional family members cost $325 for kids up to age 14 and $375 for ages 15 and up. It is designed for patients without insurance and cannot be combined with insurance or other offers.
Is SureSmile a good option for teens?
After an exam, our dentists can tell you whether SureSmile clear aligners suit your teen. The aligners straighten crowded or gapped teeth in planned stages, and the trays come out for eating and brushing. Our dentists look at the bite and how the teeth line up, then explain what treatment involves before you decide.
Can my children have their checkups before school?
Yes. Appointments start at 7:00 AM, Monday through Thursday, so a morning cleaning can come before the school day. Book ahead by phone or through the online form to claim an early time. The drive itself takes about 10 minutes in light traffic.
