Longtime patients have likely noticed some exciting new developments for Signature Periodontics & Implant Dentistry, a locally owned dental practice with locations across the Charlotte area.
The practice has seen enormous growth and evolution over the past four years. Aside from a recent, total rebranding, the practice now has four locations: Lake Norman, Rock Hill, Waxhaw, and SouthPark—and the latter is expanding with a new two-story, state-of-the-art facility later this month.
The practice has a vital mixture of experienced and younger doctors who work together to combine the latest technology with decades of knowledge. Nelson Eddy, Tripp Cockerham, Maggie Shaw, Ashley Pater, Kian Azarnoush, Farrell Irons, and Joseph Eddy are all Board Certified or board eligible. Each periodontist is trained in the prevention and treatment of advanced periodontal disease, complex implant placement, soft tissue (gum) grafting, ridge and sinus augmentations, surgical extractions, laser therapy (LANAP), and moderate sedation to relieve dental anxiety.
Though the practice has expanded and developed over time, each office is rooted in a shared mission: “When patients come to Signature Periodontics & Implant Dentistry, the practice has created a foundation of belief that the patient will receive top-quality treatment from well-established periodontists that are experts in their field,” the practice says. “The patient will be treated with the utmost care from a team that values empathy, respect, and understanding, ensuring they feel heard and educated about their treatment options, and oral care in general; the patient will leave the office with a clear understanding of any and all information regarding their dental care and with a clear direction of how to solve any issues going forward.”
That’s why everyone at Signature Perio commits themselves to values and codes of conduct that include the pillars of Friendliness, Clarity, Empathy, Quality, Learning, Honesty, Growth, and Care. By leading with intention and demonstrating each of the codes and values with every action, Signature Perio has earned a reputation that is second-to-none in not only periodontics, but in the Charlotte-area dental world. “The periodontists, clinical assistants, registered hygienists, administrative staff , and everyone in between have worked tirelessly to ensure each patient feels valued, heard, and respected,” the practice adds. “Signature Perio understands that collaboration is essential to establishing the best course of treatment for each patient; the practice truly believes in ‘it takes a village,’ thus creating meaningful relationships with the patients and their dental offices.”
