Convenient Access from Quail Hollow
Families looking for a dentist near Quail Hollow can reach Mint City Dentistry in about 14 minutes. The office sits on Providence Road in south Charlotte, across from the Arboretum, and our dentists care for patients of every age. Appointments begin at 7:00 AM, Monday through Thursday, so a cleaning can come before school drop-off or the first meeting of the day.
From Quail Hollow Middle School on Smithfield Church Road, turn onto Park Road and head south. Park Road turns into Johnston Road, which carries you to Pineville-Matthews Road (NC 51); turn left and stay east on NC 51 for about 4.6 miles. At Providence Road (NC 16), turn right for roughly a tenth of a mile, then left onto Arboretum Shopping Center Dr. The full drive is 6.9 miles and takes about 14 minutes, with no tolls.
Our address is 8035 Providence Rd #310, Charlotte, NC 28277, on the east side of Providence Road just south of the NC 51 signal. If you reach Charlotte Fire Station 39, you have gone about 0.4 mile past the turn. Save the office in Google Maps before your first visit. Nearby neighborhoods have their own pages as well: SouthPark to the north and Carmel just to the south.
A Practice That Fits the Quail Hollow Calendar
This south Charlotte neighborhood in Mecklenburg County grew up around Quail Hollow Club, a private golf club founded in 1959 whose course opened in 1961. The club anchors a large residential area of named subdivisions, among them Quail Hollow II and Heydon Hall. Every year it brings the PGA Tour to south Charlotte for what is now the Truist Championship, an event it has hosted each year since 2003 except 2020. It also staged the 2017 PGA Championship, the 2022 Presidents Cup and the 2025 PGA Championship.
Daily life here runs on a schedule of school bells, office commutes and practice rounds. Mint City Dentistry is set up for that rhythm. A 7:00 AM visit can be wrapped up before most workdays get going, and walk-ins are accepted when the schedule allows. Because Park Road and NC 51 link the two areas so directly, the drive home is just as easy.
Most care also stays under one roof. Our team handles cleanings, fillings, crowns, clear aligners, implants, wisdom teeth and IV sedation in the office, with the goal of meeting all your dental needs in one location. For a Quail Hollow household juggling several calendars, one familiar office is simpler than a string of new ones.
The neighborhood sits in the middle of south Charlotte, with SouthPark to the north and Pineville a short drive away. That central spot puts NC 51 within easy reach, and our office sits right where that road meets Providence Road.
Dental Priorities for Quail Hollow Families
Middle school brings a full set of permanent molars and, often, the first questions about straightening. Routine cleanings and exams, plus sealants on the chewing surfaces of back teeth, are simple ways to protect those years. For parents, oral cancer screenings are part of routine exams, so an adult check-up covers more than a polish.
Many adults in the neighborhood ask about appearance as much as health. KoR teeth whitening, bonding for small chips and porcelain veneers are all on the cosmetic menu, and SureSmile clear aligners straighten teeth without brackets. Dr. Alvey uses digital scans and other digital tools to plan this kind of work, so you understand each option before you decide.
A cracked or worn tooth is another common reason people call. Our advanced technology includes CEREC, which lets our dentists design, mill and place a crown in one visit. For a busy Quail Hollow parent, that removes a second appointment and the temporary crown that usually comes with it.
Adults also bring older dental work with them. Silver fillings placed years ago can crack or leak at the edges, and replacing them with tooth-colored fillings repairs the tooth and blends in. When a tooth has more filling than tooth left, a crown is usually the better long-term repair, and root canal therapy can save a tooth with an infected nerve.
Comfort matters at every age. Dr. Sobin has advanced training in IV sedation, and treatment comes with thorough numbing and a gentle technique. Patients who choose sedation simply arrange for a friend or family member to drive them home.
Accidents happen on the course and the playground alike. New patients without insurance can book the $59 emergency exam and x-ray, and the team will strive to fit you into the schedule. Established patients have an after-hours emergency line, with one of our dentists typically on call.
Care From a Dentist Near Quail Hollow
Cosmetic Dentistry
KoR whitening, bonding and porcelain veneers brighten or reshape a smile. Quail Hollow patients with a family photo or a big event coming up can map out the timing with our dentists.
Same-Day Crowns
With CEREC, your crown is designed, milled and placed in one visit, with no temporary crown to baby. That means one trip along NC 51 instead of two.
Family Dentistry
Cleanings, exams, sealants and oral cancer screenings cover every age. Kids, parents and grandparents from one household can all be seen at the same practice.
SureSmile®
Clear aligners from SureSmile shift teeth a little at a time, with no brackets or wires to work around. Quail Hollow adults on our Adult Plan save $500 on the treatment.
TMD Treatment
Jaw discomfort, clicking and related headaches can trace back to the jaw joint and its muscles. Our dentists evaluate those symptoms and talk through care that fits your bite.
Meet Your Charlotte Dental Team
Dr. Ian Alvey earned his DMD at the Medical University of South Carolina and taught digital dentistry at MAHEC during his residency in Asheville. He still leans on that background, using digital scans and 3D printing to personalize treatment. Dr. Dylan Sobin, also an MUSC graduate, completed an AEGD program at Augusta University, and both doctors list golf among their interests.
Insurance, Membership & Financing
Mint City Dentistry accepts most major dental insurance carriers, and out-of-network patients can often still use their benefits. The team prepares a free cost estimate before treatment begins. New patients without insurance can start with the $129 cleaning, exam and x-ray offer, and CareCredit, major credit cards, cash and checks are all accepted.
Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Mint City Dentistry from Quail Hollow, and how do I get there?
Our office is 6.9 miles from Quail Hollow Middle School, about a 14-minute drive. Take Park Road south as it becomes Johnston Road, then follow Pineville-Matthews Road (NC 51) east to Providence Road and Arboretum Shopping Center Dr. Anyone choosing a dentist near Quail Hollow will find no tolls on the way, and the office faces the Arboretum.
Can I book a 7:00 AM appointment to stay ahead of NC 51 traffic?
Yes, appointments start at 7:00 AM, Monday through Thursday. NCDOT counts roughly 28,000 to 34,500 vehicles a day on NC 51 and Providence Road near the office, and rush hour adds time to the drive. An early slot lets most Quail Hollow patients get in and out before the day fills up, then head to work or school.
Can clenching or grinding make my jaw click and ache?
Yes, jaw clicking, soreness and related headaches are common signs of TMD, which involves the jaw joint and the muscles around it. Our dentists evaluate and treat TMD right here in the office. After an exam, the doctor talks through the options that fit your symptoms, so you can choose a plan with clear expectations.
What kind of teeth whitening do you offer?
Mint City Dentistry offers KoR teeth whitening as part of its cosmetic dentistry services. A check-up beforehand makes sense, because whitening works best on healthy teeth and gums. For stains or chips that whitening will not change, bonding and porcelain veneers are other options, and SureSmile can straighten teeth before any cosmetic plan.
Should my middle schooler get dental sealants?
Sealants are a good fit for many children once their permanent back teeth come in. Our dentists place them as part of family dentistry, coating the grooves of the chewing surfaces where food and plaque tend to collect. A 7:00 AM appointment lets a student have them placed before the school day starts.
