Dr. Charles D. Payet and Our Team
Smiles by Payet Dentistry has been caring for patients since December 27th, 1999 in South Charlotte, and we recently moved to a new and improved location on Park Rd. I opened the practice 18 months after graduating from the University of North Carolina School of Dentistry in June 1998. While Smiles by Payet Dentistry is a General Dentistry practice, we offer an extremely wide range of services so our patients don’t need to see multiple specialists except in very complex cases. I am absolutely committed to constant learning and improvement, and have attended lectures and seminars by many of the nation’s premier post-graduate teaching institutions and lecturers in order to stay as current with the most modern techniques and materials possible. 50-75 hours per year in Continuing Education is not unusual for me, and in 2009 my goal is 75-100 hours.
Our Smiles by Payet Dentistry Team is currently comprised of the following people, whom you will truly enjoy meeting and choosing as your primary dental healthcare providers:
Rosemary B. is one of our Certified Dental Assistants and has been with us since back in 2007. A mother of 3 grown boys and a proud grandma to 2 grandchildren, she’s one of those people who just loves to help take care of people. With over 20 years of experience in dentistry, she is very knowledgeable and can answer most any of your questions. Along with Marie, she is there with me during your treatment to make it go as smoothly as possible.
Samantha H. is our new (as of Summer 2010) full-time Orthodontic Dental Assistant. We are excited to have her on board to help take care of our growing family of patients with either 6MonthSmiles Cosmetic Adult Braces or Tip-Edge Comprehensive Orthodontics. With 13 years of experience in a full-time orthodontic office, she brings a lot of knowledge on how to make your braces appointments fast and smooth.
Katrina B. (Insurance/Financial Coordinator) is our newest team member, and one we are really excited to have found. She says she is excited about finding us to work with, too. 🙂 She has been in dentistry for 22 years, having started as a dental assistant. Since her Dad was in the Navy, she was actually born in Morocco, Africa (!) and grew up in cool places like Guam and Hawaii, but she considers Fort Mill her home and moved back there in 2009. She is happily married with 2 children who keep her busy, but in her spare time she enjoys reading, gardening, crafts, and singing in her church choir.
Adrianne M. (Registered Dental Hygienist) joined us early in 2010 and has been helping us keep our patients healthy and educated on taking good care of their teeth. With 11 years experience and a passion for particularly helping patients with periodontal disease, she is very excited about being part of an office that offers Laser Periodontal TherapyTM. She really enjoys going to local health fairs to educate the public on the importance of good dental health, especially in Hispanic communities, as she speaks Spanish. She has a 4yo daughter who is an incredible bundle of energy, so the rest of her free time is spent taking care of her daughter.
We are blessed to have a Team that really enjoys working together, and their combined 100+ years of dental knowledge and experience are melded to provide you some of the finest dental care available.

DOES IT REALY WORK BECAUSE I DON’T WANT BRACES AM 13
Emmy, thank you so much for asking and taking the time to look. Yes…..this really does work, BUT…….trust me, this is NOT the way you want to go if you’re 13 years old. I understand how you probably feel when thinking about braces; my older daughter is 14 years old and had her braces finished just a couple years ago, and she really didn’t like it. BUT, here are the issues with doing veneers/”instant braces” like this:
Veneers do require some drilling on your teeth
They’re MUCH more expensive
They’ll have to be redone later in your life because nothing lasts forever
Because you’re still growing up, there will be a lot of changes in your mouth that would end up making the veneers not look so good when you’re just 5-6 years older than you are.
I’m sorry to have to disappoint you, but you really do NOT want to do porcelain veneers until you’re quite a bit older, and even then, Six-Month Braces is usually a better or as-good-as option. And I say that even though I love doing Smile Makeovers with Porcelain Veneers!
Now, if you happen to be in the Charlotte, NC area, there are many great orthodontists who can make your experiences with braces a lot better than you think. The Orthodontists who treated both my wife and my older daughter (and they’ll get to treat my younger daughter when she’s old enough, too), are Drs. Marc Allen and Michael Webb. Great guys, a lot of fun, and they do a wonderful job. If you go see them, tell them I said Hi, ok?
Super-Duper site! I am loving it!! Will come back again – taking your feeds too now, Thanks.
Just a quick comment on this blog post: it kind of amazes me how popular the idea of “Instant Braces” is when it comes to straightening teeth, but clearly it is of major interest – this post was made back in December of 2008, but it has been one of THE most popular posts on my entire blog since then!
Porcelain veneers are a great option for straightening teeth IMO when a patient is also unhappy with the overall appearance of the teeth themselves. When the teeth look great but are just a bit crooked, then Six-Month Braces really does work much better, is less expensive, and doesn’t require eventual replacement.
