TECHNOLOGY
Advanced Dental Technology for Comfortable, Precise Care
At White Smiles Dentistry in Charlotte, NC, we believe modern dental technology makes a meaningful difference in your care. Our practice uses advanced diagnostic and treatment tools to help us identify dental concerns early, plan procedures accurately, and provide a more comfortable experience. From digital X-rays and laser dentistry to detailed 3D scanning, our technology supports personalized treatment and healthier smiles.
Digital X-Ray + Panorex
Instant, high-resolution images, and panoramic imaging of teeth, jaws, and sinuses.
Digital dental X-rays provide clear, detailed images of your teeth and surrounding structures while using significantly less radiation than traditional film X-rays. Our Panorex imaging system captures a panoramic view of your entire mouth, including your teeth, jawbone, and jaw joints. Together, these technologies help us identify potential concerns early and develop accurate treatment plans tailored to your dental health.
Laser
Treatment with minimal discomfort.
Laser dentistry allows us to perform certain dental procedures with greater precision and comfort. Using a focused beam of light, dental lasers can treat soft tissue, reshape gumlines, and assist with various periodontal treatments. This advanced technology can reduce bleeding and swelling during certain procedures, often supporting a more comfortable recovery.
Oral Cancer Screening
A quick, painless visual & physical exam.
Early detection plays an important role in protecting your oral health. Our oral cancer screenings help us identify unusual changes in the tissues of your mouth, tongue, and throat that may require further evaluation. These screenings are quick and comfortable and can be incorporated into your routine dental exam, providing added peace of mind through proactive care.
Electric Handpieces
Quiet and precise treatment.
Electric dental handpieces offer smooth, consistent performance during many restorative dental procedures. Compared with traditional air-driven instruments, electric handpieces can operate with less noise and vibration, helping create a more comfortable experience. Their precise control also allows us to work efficiently while carefully preserving healthy tooth structure whenever possible.
Intraoral Camera
Enhanced imaging and diagnostics.
Our intraoral cameras give you a closer look at your dental health. These small, handheld cameras capture detailed images of your teeth and gums, allowing us to show you areas of concern on a nearby screen. By seeing what we see, you can better understand your oral health and feel confident making informed decisions about recommended treatments.
Digital Scanner
Precise 3D images for orthodontics, crowns, partials, and dentures.
Digital dental scanning uses advanced imaging technology to create highly detailed, three-dimensional models of your teeth and bite. A small handheld scanner captures the shape of your teeth, often eliminating the need for traditional impression trays and putty. These precise digital impressions help us plan restorative treatments, including crowns and other dental appliances, with greater accuracy and improved patient comfort.
A track record of excellence.

I’ve been nervous going to the dentist for years because everyone I’ve been too has never made me feel at home until this place!! I didn’t have pain after a cleaning and they got me in so quick to do a couple of fillings. They made me feel so comfortable and once again no pain! All the ladies here are just so amazing and nice and genuinely caring! If you don’t like going to the dentist these people will change your mind!! My husband and my mother even go now! Can’t thank them enough for finally making me feel like I can be happy about my teeth!!!

If I could I will give Dr. White 10 stars I would. For the first time ever, I found a dentist that gave me options to fit my budget and needs, walked me through very detailed explanations of each option and even prepared a sample plaque to show me what the end results will look like. After two years from my periodontal surgery I can smile again, Dr. White gave me back my smile. It looks amazing, beyond expectations and most important within my budget! Thank you Dr. White, you are the best!

Susan is the best dentist I have ever been too ever. I have had several bad experiences with other dentists in the past, which caused me to develop a fear of going to the dentist. If you feel like that then you need to see Susan. The environment is relaxed. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. They really know what they are doing and you always get the feeling that they really care about you.
