Our dentists
Dentists who’ve felt dental fear.
Dr. Christian Yaste and Dr. Parker Black have both experienced dental injuries and difficult treatment firsthand. Those experiences helped shape their commitment to caring for anxious patients.
WHY BALLANTYNE
Evidence you can evaluate—not generic dentistry claims.
These are the concrete reasons patients use to decide whether Ballantyne is the right long-term dental home.
Serving Charlotte since 2001
You are choosing an established practice with continuity—not a temporary storefront relationship.
1,000+ five-star reviews
Independent patient feedback helps you gauge trust before you schedule that first visit.
Comprehensive care in one Ballantyne office
Routine needs and more complex care can stay with one team, so you are less likely to restart elsewhere later.

Recommendations follow examination and necessary X-rays—so planning starts from your actual dental health.
