Convenient Access from Stallings
From Stallings, a 14-minute drive is short enough to fit a dental visit between school drop-off and work. Mint City Dentistry sits on Providence Road in south Charlotte, so families who might otherwise search for a dentist in Stallings, NC can reach us quickly and still book 7:00 AM appointments. We see patients Monday through Thursday, from a child's first visit to adult crowns and implants.
From Stallings Town Hall at 315 Stallings Road, turn right on Stallings Road, then right again onto East John Street and follow it west for about 3.1 miles into Matthews. Turn left on Matthews Township Parkway (NC 51), which becomes Pineville-Matthews Road as it heads toward Providence Road. From NC 51, turn left onto Arboretum Shopping Center Dr to reach the office.

Family Dental Care Shaped for Stallings
Stallings is a family town at heart. In the 2020 census, more than a third of its households had children under 18, and most homes were married-couple households. The town spreads across Union County with a smaller part in Mecklenburg, sitting between Matthews to the northwest and Indian Trail to the southeast. US 74 crosses the northeast side of the original town center on its way toward Monroe.
The town takes its name from a local family: farmer and merchant Matthew Thomas Stallings bought 200 acres in the early 1900s, Mark Conder's sawmill became the first industry, and the community grew into a cotton and watermelon trading center. The town incorporated on June 24, 1975.
Stallings Municipal Park on Stallings Road has four playgrounds, pickleball and tennis courts, a band shell and a half-mile walking loop, while Blair Mill Park on Fair Oaks Drive adds disc golf beside Crooked Creek. A morning dental slot keeps those after-school hours free.
Kids, Teens and Parents: What Stallings Families Should Know
Children's teeth need steady attention, not just a visit when something hurts. Two cleanings and exams a year let our dentists spot early decay before it turns into a bigger repair. Sealants on the chewing surfaces of back molars add a protective layer during the years when brushing is not yet perfect.
The teen years bring their own questions. Crowded or crooked teeth can be straightened with SureSmile clear aligners, and wisdom teeth often need a look in the late teens. Both happen in our office, and Dr. Sobin's advanced training in oral surgery and IV sedation helps nervous teens feel more comfortable.
Parents tend to put their own care last. A cleaning at 7:00 AM, with an oral cancer screening built into the routine exam, takes care of mom or dad before the workday. If a filling has failed or a tooth has cracked, CEREC lets our dentists design, mill and place a crown in one visit.
Clear information helps families make good choices. Dr. Alvey is known for making sure patients understand their oral health, and digital x-rays and intraoral scans give parents a clear view of what is going on with a child's teeth. Treatment plans come with a free cost estimate, so nobody is guessing about the bill.
Grandparents have dental needs of their own. A missing tooth can be replaced with a dental implant, planned with CBCT scanning and guided implant surgery right in our office. Worn or broken teeth can often be restored with a crown, and our dentists will lay out the options before any work begins.
Accidents on the playground or the court happen to every family. Established patients have an after-hours emergency line with one of our dentists typically on call. For significant swelling, or trouble breathing, speaking or swallowing, the right first stop is an emergency room.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Mint City Dentistry from Stallings, and how do I get there?
Stallings Town Hall is 6.7 miles from our office, a drive of about 14 minutes. Head west on East John Street through Matthews, then follow NC 51 (Matthews Township Parkway and Pineville-Matthews Road) to Arboretum Shopping Center Dr. Families wanting a dentist in Stallings, NC or close by will find no tolls on the route.
My child is nervous about the dentist. How do you help?
We take it slowly and keep things friendly. Our dentists explain what they are doing, use a gentle technique and make sure any treatment area is thoroughly numbed. Early morning visits, before the school day gets busy, are often calmer. Parents are welcome to share what has worried their child in the past.
What should I do if my child knocks out a permanent tooth?
Act quickly. Pick the tooth up by the crown, not the root, rinse it gently and try to place it back in the socket, or keep it in milk. Then call us right away; established patients can use the after-hours emergency line. Go to an emergency room for significant swelling or trouble breathing.
How much does the In-Office Coverage Plan cost for kids?
Children ages 0 to 14 can be added for $325 a year each, and family members 15 and older for $375 each. The Adult Plan is $425 a year and covers two checkups, two cleanings, fluoride varnish and routine x-rays. The plan is paid in full at enrollment and cannot be combined with insurance.
When should wisdom teeth be removed?
Wisdom teeth often need attention in the late teens or early twenties, when they lack room, come in crooked or cause pain or infection. Not every set needs to come out, and an exam with x-rays shows what yours are doing. When removal makes sense, our dentists handle it in the office, with IV sedation available.
