BTW — as much as I like using phởtos to illustrate a point, no worries here, this post is safe to view at work, at home, around the kids, and will NOT upset your stomach at all. No gory photos! […]
Patients often wonder about why we recommend expensive treatments for teeth that don’t seem like they “need” it. Today was an excellent example of why our recommended treatment may change while we are working on a tooth, as well as why we say you need a crown when nothing really seems wrong. Lastly, it is […]
One of the most common questions we hear, when we first have to give a patient the bad news that they have 1 or more cavities is, “But doc, how come it doesn’t hurt?” It’s a common misconception that a cavity will always give you a toothache. Cavities Don’t Hurt Until It’s BAD Today yielded another perfect […]

What is “Dental Bonding?” When most people think of “bonding,” they are thinking of tooth-colored dental fillings, or composite fillings. To be completely technical for a moment (I try to avoid that as much as possible to not bore you ), “bonding” is actually the series of steps and the products we dentists use to […]
As much as I’ve been integrating some awesome new technology into our practice, I’ve also been working to add useful material to my other practice websites and wanted to make sure people take the time to browse through them, too. I have 2 more websites that I have to get up and running in the […]

“Dr. Payet is an amazingly gifted dentist. I liked my smile before but was amazed at the difference the veneers made. His attention to detail and “chair side manner” made me comfortable during the entire process. He genuinely cares and goes to great lengths to ensure you are happy and 100% satisfied. I highly recommend Dr. Payet to anyone looking for a great Charlotte dentist!”
