Dental Care for Harrisburg Families

We’ll be straight with you: there are dentists closer to Harrisburg than we are. We’re about 20 minutes away down I-485, 12 to 15 miles depending on the route you take. So this page isn’t going to pretend we’re around the corner.

What it will do is tell you why Harrisburg families make that drive, and keep making it.

Most of them came to us for one specific thing. Clear aligners made in our own office instead of shipped from a lab. A crown done in one visit instead of two. A child whose snoring or mouth breathing nobody else had taken seriously. Then they stayed, because the drive turned out to be shorter than the wait for an appointment anywhere else, and because it’s one practice for the whole household.

Our office is at 11300 Cresthill Drive, Suite 105, in Mint Hill.

The Reality

What Makes Mint Hill Smiles Different

Mint Hill Smiles is a women-owned dental practice founded by Dr. Shalini Kamodia and Dr. Stephanie Marvelli — two best friends who met on the first day of dental school and built a practice from the ground up around a single idea: dentistry does not have to feel the way most people expect it to.
Read More

We have four doctors, a full hygiene and assistant team, dedicated treatment coordinators, and a remote insurance team that verifies your benefits before you arrive. We have over 800 five-star Google reviews. We have taken mission trips to the Dominican Republic to provide free dental care to communities with little access, and we have a goal to donate 5,000 free smiles to our community by 2030.

When you choose Mint Hill Smiles, you are choosing a practice that was built for you. Not a practice built purely for efficiency, production quotas, or a corporate ownership group. We are independent. We answer to our patients. And we genuinely love what we do.

Services Harrisburg Patients Ask For

We’re a full general practice, so most of what your family needs happens in one building, on one set of records, without referrals bouncing you between offices. The things Harrisburg patients ask about most:

Clear aligners made in-house. We scan your teeth digitally, plan the movement ourselves and print every set of clear aligners on our own 3D printers. When a tooth needs a refinement, we handle it here rather than waiting weeks for a lab to send new trays. It’s the single biggest reason people drive in from Cabarrus County.

Same-day crowns. We mill porcelain crowns in the office while you wait. No temporary crown, no second appointment, no second drive.

Implants and dentures. Implants placed and restored in our office, planned with 3D cone beam imaging, along with full dentures, partials and implant-supported dentures.

Kids and airway. We see children from their first tooth, and we screen for airway and breathing concerns at every pediatric visit through our Sleep Better Charlotte program. Snoring, mouth breathing and crowded teeth in children are often connected, and they’re far simpler to address early. More on our kids dentistry and airway pages.

Emergencies. A broken tooth, an abscess or a toothache that kept you up all night. Call us first thing and tell us what’s going on.

Everything else. Cleanings and exams, tooth-colored fillings, gum disease treatment, whitening, veneers, nightguards and TMJ care.

Route from Harrisburg, NC to Mint Hill Smiles, about 20 minutes via I-485

Getting to Mint Hill Smiles from Harrisburg

The quickest route is usually I-485 around the east side of Charlotte, about 20 minutes. If you’d rather stay off the interstate, Robinson Church Road or Hickory Ridge Road and Blair Road take you through in roughly the same time.

If you work in Charlotte, Matthews or anywhere along the 485 loop, it’s often easier still to come in before or after work. Ask about early and late appointments when you call.

Your First Visit

Your first appointment is a full exam, digital X-rays analyzed with AI-assisted software before your doctor goes through them with you, and a cleaning if it’s appropriate. We take digital scans rather than putting impression material in your mouth.

If it’s been a while since you last saw a dentist, that’s fine. We won’t lecture you about the gap. We’ll tell you where things actually stand and build a plan in an order that makes sense to you.

And if you’re nervous, tell us when you book. Every treatment room has a comfort menu, every patient gets a stop signal, and nitrous oxide is available if you want it.

Insurance and the Brush365 Membership

We accept most major dental insurance plans, including Delta Dental, Aetna, Cigna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, United Healthcare and most Humana plans. Our insurance team checks your benefits before you arrive, so you know what you’ll pay before any treatment starts.

No dental insurance? Our Brush365 membership plan covers two cleanings, two exams and all necessary X-rays each year for a monthly fee, plus 15% off any additional treatment. It’s priced per person.

For larger treatment plans we offer financing through CareCredit, Alpheon and Proceed Finance.

Who doesn’t dread going to the dentist? Me — thanks to the team at Mint Hill Smiles.

Like a lot of people, I get anxious before dental appointments, but Dr. Shrestha is one of the most compassionate healthcare providers I’ve ever met. She took time to answer every question I had without making me feel rushed and made sure I felt comfortable and informed throughout the entire process. You can tell she truly cares about her patients.

They make me WANT to floss. To say this was a welcoming dentist office is an absolute understatement. I felt so taken care of the second I walked into the office from the gracious receptionist, to the tech, to the dentist, and anyone who just happened to be in the vicinity. Even getting a written and personalized thank you card in the mail a couple weeks later was icing on the cake. I hadn't been to the dentist in a while and I was worried I'd feel shamed or sold on things I didn't need. Dr. Ramirez was relaxed and friendly, direct but kind. Molly was a sweetheart. I'm actually a little excited to go back.

I had been to Dr. Shrestha when she worked elsewhere and loved her work. I was finally able to find where she is currently and am so glad that I did. The office is very welcoming and they make you feel at home. This is where you want to be if you are anxious when visiting the dentist. Dr. Shrestha is kind and gentle and her team does what they can to make you visit as stress free as possible. This is my new dental home!

I would say without hesitation that mint Hill smiles is the best dental office ive visited. Today my care was superior. Andrea was the aesthetician or whatever the name is and she was simply fantastic. Patient diligent, and very intentional. The doctors are always very informative and kind and the place is literally Like a spa for dental work.

As a first-time patient, I had such a great experience here! The entire staff was incredibly welcoming, personable, and made me feel comfortable from the moment I walked in. My hygienist, Andrea, was amazing — so kind, thorough, and easy to talk to. Communication was open and honest throughout the whole visit, and they took the time to explain everything clearly without making me feel rushed. Easily the best dental experience I’ve had, and I’m so glad I found this office. Highly recommend!

The moment I decided to call Mint Hill Smiles to determine if I should switch dentists was the moment I knew it was a good choice for our family! From the prompt, consistent answers via texts, patient with all my questions regarding our boys' dental history, to such genuine attention during our initial visit yesterday, I know we're in the right place! Ashley Ann offered a tour of the office to our boys (ages 12, 10, 7) prior to their appointment, which helped. Each person had a specific, effective role in our visit ranging from front desk needs, financial questions, and dental care/plans. I felt like I was the only family in the office. I highly recommend this practice. What caught my attention to switch to this office was the stellar communication, meaningful questions from staff, and they are airway conscious! I'm staying here!
