Dr Lane is amazing and all of his staff are so kind. My son ( who is 9) really appreciated Dr Lane speaking to him in terms he could understand. 100% would recommend Dr Lane. Our family will be transferring our dental care to his practice.

I want to thank you and your staff for the kindness you showed my mother. Her name is Betty and she was there on 9/10/25. She had a great experience and was very pleased . She doesn't get around as good as she used to and she has a walker. Your staff came out to get her and helped her get in. That meant a lot to me that you went the extra mile to help. Thanks again for taking such good care of my mother.

This new to me dental office has made all the difference! They are friendly, thorough in their inspection of teeth, transparent about their pricing, and the dental hygienist was so gentle, I almost fell asleep in the chair and I had to have an extra deep cleaning. I would highly recommend for anyone who is nervous about the dentist to choose this office. Five stars all around!

Meet the Doctors
The practice is led by Christopher B. Lane, DDS, PA, who joined the practice in 2021 after training at the UNC Adams School of Dentistry. The practice was founded by Dr. Bob Whitley, who served the community for nearly 40 years and has since retired from full-time dentistry, though he remains connected to the practice and occasionally fills in.
