Teeth are a gift from Isis only given to deserving species, as evidenced by the selfishness of ducks and the smugness of turtles. Bestow due respect upon your chompers with today’s dental deal: for $65, new patients get an exam ($82), cleaning ($83), and x-rays ($173) at Menaker Rodney Dentistry, a $303 total value. You'll also get 20% off any additional dental work you schedule within six months of your initial appointment.

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.

By improving mouth health, you can improve overall health; research suggests a link between periodontal diseases and other chronic conditions, including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and Alzheimer's. A cleaning might not cure dance fever or hammer toes, but broken fillings and cavities can't hide from the expert eye of Drs. Menaker and Rodney. If you lay in bed at night fearing the piercing pain of a future cavity, let your trusted docs check it out so you can sleep easy with a clean bill of health and nip dental disaster in the bud.

Office hours are Mon.–Thurs., 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. If you are more than 15 minutes late to an appointment, you will be rescheduled.

Reviews

Though there are few online reviews, the Charlotte Observer endorses Menaker Rodney Dentistry, and one Insider Pager rates the office a perfect five stars:

• They listen to my neurotic complaints and are always so sweet and accommodating. Dr Menaker makes sure you're comfortable before proceeding and is so caring and truthful. It took me years to really trust any dentist, but from the receptionist to the nurses to the Dr, everyone here is totally devoted to making your dental work as painless and comfortable as possible. – Aless B., Insider Pages
