“Absolutely love Dr. Heck and the girls!! Going to the dentist is a breeze there!!”

Our goal is to educate and empower you to make the best possible decisions when it comes to your general and dental health. We want to make it a fun and comfortable patient experience. Gone are the days of not loving to visit the dentist. It’s safe to say Dr. Hotic is thrilled to be back in Charlotte, using the latest technology and highest-quality materials to provide you with the best dental care.
