Smile Portfolio
Real Patients. Thoughtfully Crafted Results.
Every smile tells a different story. Our portfolio features real Palmetto & Pine patients and the restorative and cosmetic dentistry performed by Dr. James Herron and Dr. Evan Smith in our Charlotte, NC, dental practice.
From subtle dental bonding and whitening to veneers, crowns, and more complex restorative care, each treatment begins with the same philosophy: preserve what is healthy, understand what the patient wants, and create a result that feels natural to them.
Explore our portfolio to see the thoughtful planning, clinical precision, and attention to detail behind each smile.
