A Beautiful Smile Begins with a Healthy Smile
Our state-of-the-art dental practice creates healthy and vibrant smiles through General, Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry. For all of your dental needs, Dr. Van Gurp is a dentist who first listens to your concerns and then counsels you on the best ways to maintain and improve the health of your teeth and gums. Your individualized treatment plan utilizes the most sophisticated technology available, enhancing your comfort and the standard of dental care that you receive.
Creating A Positive Experience
We want for you to feel relaxed during your visit to our office. Since Dr. Van Gurp sees just one patient at a time, you won’t waste valuable time waiting to be seen. Our attention is on just you.
We recognize that a trip to the dentist makes some patients uneasy. The focus of every member of our team is to provide exceptional service and gentle dental care. This allows us to make a difference in creating an environment where you are at ease. Above all else, our staff treats you with the highest level of compassion, courtesy and respect.
Dental Exams
We believe that a beautiful smile first begins with a healthy smile. That’s why we take a proactive approach to preventative dental care — conducting thorough exams, checking the overall health of your teeth and gums, performing Vizilite Oral Cancer Screenings and taking digital x-rays when necessary. Because your smile should last a lifetime, we consider various treatments that are beneficial to your dental health and your lifestyle. We may recommend Sealants or Fluoride Treatments which will protect vulnerable areas from dental disease or a custom made sports mouthguard which protects the mouth and jaw during athletic activities.
Being a good listener is an essential element of good dentistry for Dr. Van Gurp. During each appointment, he takes time to discuss your dental concerns, as well as short term and long term oral health goals. Since medical problems can affect dental health, the comprehensive new patient exam begins with a review of your medical and dental history as well.
Anxiety Free Dentistry
We are pleased to be able to offer our patients the experience of effective dentistry without the anxiety! According to a study by the American Dental Association, fear of pain is the most common reason people avoid the dentist. The Wand™ is a revolutionary system of anesthetic delivery that can provide a virtually, if not completely, painless dental injection.
State-Of-The-Art Technology
During the years that we have been serving patients in Southeast Charlotte, we have seen great advancements in dental technology. As a dentist who stays on the cutting edge of technology, Dr. Van Gurp utilizes progressive equipment such as lasers to improve the quality of care his patients receive. The Diagnodent laser is a painless scanning device that detects cavities deep in the grooves of the teeth when the cavities are still small, enabling them to be treated conservatively. In treating gum disease, Laser Therapy is less invasive and much more comfortable than traditional periodontal surgery.
Continuing Training & Education
In Restorative and Cosmetic Dentistry, having the latest dental technology is simply not enough. Our personal commitment is to provide each patient with dental excellence. We endeavor to offer the highest level of service by continuing our education and training. By attending dental lectures, association meetings and conventions, we learn about new techniques and dental procedures as well as new state of the art equipment and products that can enhance the overall dental experience of our patients.
Changing Lives
We are very aware of the positive effect that our work has on the lives of our patients and we are honored to take this journey with them. As dedicated professionals in the field of Cosmetic and Restorative Dentistry, we look forward to the opportunity to renew your confidence and enhance your smile!
