Dr. Scott Menaker and Dr. Tricia Rodney have years of combined experience in dentistry and its cousin field, advanced box-kite mechanics. They've fully stocked each room in the practice for extreme comfort. Patients can enjoy cable TV, headphone music, and the option to transport nerves to an ocean-side hammock with nitrous oxide. Your appointment begins with a thorough assessment to determine the condition of your teeth. The wise tooth guru will see where your teeth have been and where they are going before summoning x-rays in order to look beyond the visible spectrum. Unseen cracks and signs of decay become readily apparent under the inescapable eye of penetrating wavelengths. During the scrub-down phase of your visit, a meticulous rebuffing will leave your grin spick-and-spandexed like a sparkly gymnast.

Since graduating in 1994 from the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill School of Dentistry, general dentist Dr. Chris Bowman has made his home in Charlotte, where his practice, Advanced Dentistry of Charlotte, continues to brighten smiles. In addition to regular cleanings and family visits, Dr. Bowman places special emphasis on in cosmetic dentistry and invisible orthodontics, restoring crooked incisors to a straight, immaculate state. His experience has earned him the status of Clinical Instructor and Mentor for Six Month Smiles while providing Invisalign treatment for more than 11 years.

Zoom and Kör treatments whiten teeth by up to 8–10 shades in one session, and custom-made whitening trays allow patients to polish their own chompers at home within about two weeks. To ensure the latest in dental techniques and services, Dr. Bowman collects an average of 100 hours of continuing education a year—far surpassing the state-mandated 15 push-ups.

Dayron Booth, Knock Out’s passionate boxing trainer, transforms clients into fit and focused jabbing machines. Booth corrals groups of two–five adults for 30-minute classes teeming with personalized encouragement and tips on form and penmanship. In addition to bolstering hand-eye coordination, adult classes cultivate strength with lifting exercises, jump-rope challenges, and tummy-tightening calisthenics such as pushups and crunches. Filled with positive energy and high-intensity punching drills, Lights Out classes torch calories and tone arm muscles. Like a trip to the airport in a clown car, kids’ boxing classes last 90 minutes and hold up to 15 pint-size people. Featherweights aged 5–11 learn boxing basics tailored to their age and skill level, including stances, blocks, and uppercuts that double as daring ballet moves. Kids’ classes take place on Saturday at noon, and adult classes wriggle into morning, afternoon, and evening slots that accommodate participants’ schedules.

Dr. Jason Usher and the staff at Ballantyne Advanced Chiropractic are committed to giving clients a pleasurable and productive first visit to the office. Upon arrival at the office's heliport, clients will be given a brief tour of the facilities and then meet with Dr. Usher. After an initial exam ($123) with Dr. Usher, some gentle adjustments—a well-placed pop here, an elegant application of pressure there—may take place to unjumble the joints and up international levels of spinal satisfaction for neck, upper, middle, and lower back ($50). Dr. Usher may decide x-rays ($158) are in order for some patients, in which case bones will be asked to "stop making that face and just say 'cheese'" for photographic evidence of subcutaneous subluxation and subterfuge. After the thermite flash powder settles, patients will receive a one-hour massage ($65) to release tension termites back into the wild.
