Heather Gentry, DMD, is the owner of Gentry Dental. Her holistic approach aims to reduce the toxic burden on patients, promoting long-term health and wellness. A focus on biocompatible materials and treatments addresses immediate dental concerns and contributes to overall health, ensuring treatments are as safe and effective as possible.

Gentry and her team focus on creating a comfortable and informed patient experience. They make time to build personal relationships, explain procedures and answer questions thoroughly. This approach has earned her a reputation for exceptional care, leading to “Best Dentist in Charlotte” and “Nextdoor Neighborhood Favorite” acclaim.

The practice uses state-of-the-art dental technology and seeks out continuing education internationally. As such, Gentry has advanced training in biological and holistic dentistry, ozone therapy, full mouth reconstruction, smile makeovers, veneers, sleep apnea treatment, TMJ pain and dysfunction, dental implants, same-day crowns and microscope dentistry.

Gentry’s practice focuses on whole-body health and wellness, offering personalized treatments to address the root causes of dental issues. Instead of prescribing a night guard for bruxism, she investigates underlying causes and uses the least toxic and most biocompatible materials available, including metal-free dental crowns and porcelain inlays and onlays. The Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique (SMART) safely eliminates mercury-laden fillings and supports detoxification with supplements such as activated charcoal and chlorella.

Aerosol reducers, including a dental mercury vapor and oral aerosol vacuum system, filter out toxic vapors and contaminants. Modern, clinically proven therapies such as ozone therapy halt cavities, manage periodontal infections, treat sinusitis, and improve root canal treatments.

Biocompatibility testing assesses the potential toxicity and immune reactivity of dental materials to ensure they are safe for each patient’s unique chemistry, especially those with sensitivities or allergies. Patients receive a kit for a local lab blood draw, and the results help determine the safest materials to use, minimizing the risk of reactions.

Originally from Alabama, Gentry graduated with honors from the University of Alabama School of Dentistry in 2005, moved to Charlotte in 2008 and took over the practice in 2014. With nearly two decades of experience, she has held multiple roles in the dental industry from receptionist to practice owner.

After a 5-year battle with chronic hives that persisted despite treatment, she discovered foodborne chemicals, artificial colorings and environmental toxins were factors. Switching to an all-natural diet free of preservatives and colorings highlighted the importance of nutritional and environmental factors in health, inspiring her to study toxins and natural healing methods extensively. This extensive experience shaped her philosophy of providing high-quality, biocompatible treatments with compassion and understanding.
