Bring Back Your

Smile & Confidence

Welcome to Hargis Family Dentistry

Located in the heart of downtown Burlington, NC, we understand how crucial a healthy, functional smile is—for both self-esteem and daily life. Our restorative dentistry services are designed to repair and rebuild teeth damaged by decay, trauma, or natural wear—using the latest conservative, patient-focused techniques.

🦷 Our Restorative Dental Treatments

Dental Fillings (Composite & Amalgam)

We blend aesthetics with durability to restore minor cavities, preserving as much natural tooth structure as possible. Ideal for maintaining dental health and avoiding more extensive treatments later on.

Dental Crowns & Bridges

Crowns enhance strength and appearance for cracked, worn, or heavily filled teeth.Bridges seamlessly replace missing teeth, anchored to surrounding healthy teeth, to restore chewing, speech, and smile continuity .

Dental Implants

For a lasting tooth-replacement solution, our dental implants safeguard jaw health and provide a natural-looking, fixed option—eliminating slipping and discomfort common with traditional dentures.

Dentures & Partials

Custom-crafted full and partial dentures ensure comfortable, confident smiles that fit your face and lifestyle perfectly. Our team supports every step—from measurement to adjustment.

Root Canals & Simple Extractions

Pain-relief starts here. With gentle, efficient root canal therapy and expert tooth extractions, we stop discomfort at the root and preserve long-term oral health.
