Read What Our Patients Say About Us!

Smiles by Payet is like play­ing T-ball where adults go to be kids and every­one is a win­ner. Firstly, I should say they won’t read your horo­scope before and after your den­tal clean­ing. But what they will do is out of this world. Let me start off to say I’m a big chicken when it came to my den­tal care. You can’t use the excuse that cave­men got by with­out it why couldn’t I? I had severe social anx­i­ety for 25+ years which I blame mostly on bad den­tal appear­ance. To add fuel to my pho­bia, a few rough nights of drink­ing, minus a bot­tle opener, chipped my two front teeth. Not a pretty sight. Being a shy, ultra den­tal noob, I wanted a down to earth den­tist that I could feel com­fort­able with. With the power of the inter­net and Google I stum­bled upon sev­eral impres­sive Dr. Payet’s reviews from clients and took a gam­ble. With my ini­tial meet­ing, Dr. Payet came across as some­one I’ve known for a long time. He was calm, patient, and extremely knowl­edge­able. He took time to pro­vide detail con­sul­ta­tion on my options after under­stand­ing my needs. His staff (Adri­enne, Sam, Rosie, Marie) were extremely per­son­able which eased my fear all with­out Val­ium. So after 7 months (in no par­tic­u­lar order) of LANAP, 4 wis­dom teeth, 2 chipped teeth, fill­ings, 6 months smile braces, and cos­metic whiten­ing am I happy with the results? Hell yeah. I would do it all over again with­out hes­i­ta­tion. So, I gained a great smile and lost years of social anx­i­ety. That in my opin­ion is price­less.

As a child I had braces, but back in those days, braces were like today’s retain­ers. I lost mine, and my mother said that she didn’t have the money for another set. I went through life accept­ing my crooked, buck teeth, and would just cover my mouth when I was talk­ing to peo­ple, and would not smile much. Last year, I saw an adver­tise­ment in our local paper, and men­tioned to my hus­band that I would like to go for the free con­sul­ta­tion. I joked with Dr. Payet about even being able to do some­thing with these teeth after 54 years. He said that I could do the six month braces, and I jumped at the chance, but was wor­ried about the cost. Once the staff dis­cussed the cost and also con­tacted my insur­ance, I was quick to accept the offer and see if Dr. Payet could actu­ally do some­thing for my smile. I am happy to say that I am prob­a­bly one of his hap­pi­est patients. I love my smile and look now. Dr. Payet and his staff are the best. I can hon­estly say that I am no longer afraid of the den­tist. Give Dr. Payet and his amaz­ing staff a chance to make your smile great! Thanks!

I have had a fear of den­tists for sev­eral years and finally decided it was time to over­come those fears. After research­ing den­tists in the area I decided that Dr. Payet was the one from his out­stand­ing tes­ti­mo­ni­als. From the recep­tion all the way to the den­tal chair every­one was so kind and wel­com­ing. Never did I expe­ri­ence such wel­com­ing. It was enjoy­able, and I never thought that would be some­thing I would say about a den­tal visit. I am look­ing for­ward to many years with the prac­tice and will highly rec­om­mend Dr. Payet to friends and fam­ily.

Excel­lent clean­ing, easy and pain­less. A very CARING Hygien­ist
— Nancy Hendry, Fort Mill, SC

Dr. Payet is the first Den­tist who actu­ally lis­tened to me and did not over charge me for ser­vices I did not need. I couldnt believe how sim­ple his rec­om­men­da­tions to resolve years of issues I have devel­oped was. I appre­ci­ate the dis­counts and his will­ing­ness for pay­ment plans so that I could afford the ser­vices with­out going bank­rupt. I can­not wait for the final out­come. He is def­i­nitely a GODSEND.
— Keyon P., Char­lotte, NC

To say that I am a ter­ri­fied patient is an under­state­ment. To be hon­est I only con­tacted this prac­tice because I was in pain. Dur­ing my appoint­ment I inter­acted with sev­eral staff. They quickly put me at ease, and were pro­fes­sional, empathic and nur­tur­ing. I have already spo­ken with sev­eral peo­ple about my vis­its, and would cer­tainly rec­om­mend Dr. Payet to any­one who would like excel­lent den­tal care in a patient friendly envi­ron­ment. After avoid­ing the den­tist for the past 7+ years, I am both pleased, relieved, that I have con­nected with a prac­tice with whom I feel com­fort­able and con­fi­dent.
— Donna Rae, Char­lotte, NC

The hygenist was awe­some! I have very sen­si­tive teeth and asked her to make sure that the water got squirted in the mid­dle of my mouth. Not only did she remem­ber but she was empa­thetic of my fear of going to the den­tist. She was gen­tle when going around my gum lines. Dr Payet was great as well! I didn’t feel like he was try­ing to get me to do a bunch of stuff in my mouth just so he could make a buck like some den­tist offices. I would highly rec­om­mend this prac­tice.

I’m the first to admit I’m a big chicken when it comes to den­tal care. So after read­ing the favor­able feed­backs and expe­ri­enc­ing first hand, Dr. Payet pro­vides excep­tional care ser­vices with great results. His warm pro­fes­sion­al­ism is extended to the won­der­ful staff at his office. They are remark­ably per­sonal and sen­si­tive which will make me a long time client. I highly rec­om­mend Dr. Payet to any­one.
— Lee N., Char­lotte, NC

The staff was great and every­one was really nice. I was put at ease from the begin­ning they were sen­si­tive to my past expe­ri­ences with other Den­tists and made it a won­der­ful expe­ri­ence.
— Abi­gail Mes­sick, Char­lotte NC

Dr. Payet and his staff were won­der­ful as always! They made me feel com­fo­rat­able and apart of the Smiles fam­ily. I’m all too sad that I won’t get to see them for another 6 months as we have seen each other at least once a week for the 4 weeks! =) Find­ing Dr. Payet’s office has been a life chang­ing expe­ri­ence and has com­pletely changed how I feel about vis­it­ing the den­tist. He is the most humane and gen­tle doc­tor I have ever encoun­tered. This behav­ior is mir­rored through­out the office by his staff and, as I’ve had a chance to meet a few of them, by his patients as well! (I’m very hard-pressed to even use the term “patient” because they really do treat you like fam­ily!) Most of all he gen­uinely cares about the peo­ple he treats! Sorry Dr. Payet, but you’re stuck with me for life! =D Thank you so very much! God bless!
— Mary R., Char­lotte, NC

I’m greatly impressed with Dr. Payet and his office. The staff imme­di­ately made me feel wel­comed. Ebony is a great office assis­tant, very per­son­able on the phone. The décor is very regal and classy. More impor­tantly the evi­dent knowl­edge and care that Dr. Payet has is admirable. It’s great that the office is paper­less and they are uti­liz­ing great tech­nol­ogy. I’m glad I found you. I’m sorry it took me so long. See you soon!
— Alli­son S., Char­lotte NC

All staff are car­ing and pro­fes­sional. The Laser (LANAP) peri­odon­tal treat­ment seems to be life chang­ing.
— John B., Statesville NC

Thank you for being so great with me and the Kids I really appre­ci­ate it!
