Convenient Access from Waxhaw
Waxhaw more than doubled in population between 2010 and 2020, so plenty of households are new to the area and may be looking for a dentist in Waxhaw, NC, or close by. Mint City Dentistry in Charlotte is one road away: from Waxhaw Town Hall it is a 12-mile trip, usually 20 minutes, straight up Providence Road. Our dentists see patients from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM, Monday through Thursday.
Leave Town Hall at 1150 North Broome Street and turn left onto Providence Road South (NC 16). From there you simply stay on NC 16 heading north for nearly 12 miles, through Weddington and into south Charlotte. Past the I-485 interchange at Providence Road, keep going and turn right onto Arboretum Shopping Center Dr just before the NC 51 intersection. The office is at 8035 Providence Rd #310, across from the Arboretum, and there are no tolls.

Waxhaw's Growth and Your Family's Dental Home
Waxhaw is an incorporated town in Union County, home to more than 20,000 people at the 2020 census. The railroad arrived in 1888 and the town incorporated a year later; today the Waxhaw Historic District, listed on the National Register in 1991, preserves 93 contributing buildings from about 1888 to 1940, including the McDonald Hotel and the R.J. Belk Company Store. Andrew Jackson was born nearby in 1767, and the town is named for the Waxhaw people.
Nearby Cane Creek Park is a county park with more than 1,000 acres around a 350-acre lake for fishing, boat rentals and camping. Just over the state line, Andrew Jackson State Park has a museum on Jackson's boyhood and the statue "Andrew Jackson, A Boy of The Waxhaws."
New housing has gone up along NC 16 and NC 75, and NC 16 is the road that leads to our door. Wesley Chapel lies to the north and Indian Land, across the South Carolina line, borders the town. For a household that just moved in, a single, easy-to-remember route makes it more likely the first cleaning actually gets booked.
Getting started is simple. Call the office or tap the Book Appointment button on our site, and our team will help you find a time; walk-ins are also accepted on days the schedule allows.
Fresh Starts in Dental Care for Waxhaw Newcomers
Switching dentists after a move usually means starting with a full baseline. A new-patient visit gives our dentists a complete look at your teeth and gums with digital x-rays, a cleaning and an exam that includes an oral cancer screening. From there, they explain what looks healthy and what, if anything, needs attention.
Growing Waxhaw families need a practice that handles every age. Our family dentistry covers a child's first visit, sealants, routine cleanings and care for seniors, so one office can hold the whole family's records.
Adults often arrive with unfinished business from a previous dentist: a crown that was recommended, a missing tooth or jaw soreness that never got addressed. CEREC lets us design, mill and place a crown in a single visit, and dental implants are planned with CBCT scanning and guided implant surgery. TMD care for jaw clicking and related headaches is part of what we do as well.
For a smile refresh, our cosmetic options include bonding, KoR teeth whitening and porcelain veneers. Patients who feel nervous can ask about IV sedation, offered as twilight or moderate sedation, as long as someone can drive them home afterward.
