Central Avenue Dental has opened in Charlotte, North Carolina, offering a full spectrum of dental services designed to minimize patient stress while providing coordinated care for all ages. The practice distinguishes itself by integrating psychological principles with dental expertise to address common anxieties associated with dental visits.
The clinic is led by Dr. Kristin Abbas, whose dual background in psychology and dentistry informs her approach to patient care. This unique combination allows her to effectively support patients who experience dental anxiety while guiding them toward long-term oral health outcomes. Dr. Abbas emphasizes education, trust, and collaboration throughout the treatment process, helping patients feel empowered rather than apprehensive.
The practice offers an extensive range of services that eliminates the need for outside referrals for most dental needs. These include cosmetic dentistry such as porcelain veneers and smile makeovers, general family dentistry, dental implants and implant-supported dentures, root canal therapy, periodontics including advanced laser treatments, Invisalign orthodontics, oral surgery, and emergency dentistry. The practice also provides injection therapies including dermal fillers and botulinum toxin for cosmetic enhancement.
Central Avenue Dental utilizes state-of-the-art equipment while maintaining what the practice describes as a "small-town warmth" approach to patient interactions. The newly renovated office features a bright, modern design intended to create a calming atmosphere that transforms routine dental visits into positive experiences. This attention to environmental details complements the clinical approach to anxiety reduction.
Dr. Abbas completes more than 100 hours of continuing education annually to stay current with dental innovations, with advanced training in implant dentistry and cosmetic techniques. Beyond clinical practice, she participates in humanitarian dental efforts, reflecting the practice's broader commitment to community service. The practice's comprehensive approach addresses a significant barrier to dental care—patient anxiety—while providing coordinated services that can improve long-term oral health outcomes for Charlotte residents.
