Why Ballantyne Dentistry

Dental fear helped shape Ballantyne. Your needs shape the care.

Choosing a dentist means finding someone you can trust with more than your teeth. At Ballantyne Dentistry in Charlotte, firsthand understanding of dental anxiety is backed by advanced training for the care you may need next.

Dr. Christian Yaste speaking with a patient at Ballantyne Dentistry

Dental fear, understood firsthand.

A bicycle accident left Dr. Christian Yaste with broken front teeth and a frightening treatment experience while he was in dental school. Dr. Parker Black also knows the patient’s side: a basketball injury and difficult tooth repair deepened his appreciation for compassionate care.

Those experiences helped shape their approach to anxious patients. For Dr. Black, that includes listening to your concerns, goals, and comfort level before developing a treatment plan.

Experience behind your options.

Everyday care

Dr. Andrew Roberts combines family and cosmetic dentistry with an emphasis on clear explanations, helping you understand the care being recommended.

Changes to your smile

Dr. Grant Tesmer’s experience includes porcelain veneers and complete smile makeovers, with minimal-prep and no-prep techniques among the options he can consider for suitable patients.

More involved repairs

Dr. Christian Yaste has advanced training in cosmetic and restorative dentistry and full-mouth rehabilitation, bringing experience relevant to rebuilding multiple worn or damaged teeth.

Damaged or missing teeth

Dr. Parker Black’s postgraduate training spans surgery, implants, complex restorative care, and root canal treatment, relevant when a tooth needs more than a routine repair.

Care as your needs change.

Ballantyne offers preventive, cosmetic, restorative, and implant care within the same practice. You can come for regular checkups and return to explore a smile change or a more involved dental problem.

A dental home should be useful for the needs you have today, with capabilities worth knowing about before you need them.

Sedation for anxious patients.

When reassurance alone isn’t enough, sedation may help you receive dental treatment. Ballantyne offers multiple sedation options, and Dr. Tesmer and Dr. Black have IV sedation training.

    Digital X-rays are available for review and discussion, helping your doctor explain what they see and why it matters to your care.

  2. Scans without impression trays

    An intraoral scanner captures a digital model of your teeth and can replace traditional impressions for appropriate treatment.
