Digital Dentistry At Southpoint

Our CEREC technology creates custom dental crowns in one visit. Using digital impressions and precision milling, we restore damaged teeth with durable ceramic crowns within hours. This eliminates multiple appointments and temporary crowns, providing immediate functionality and aesthetics.

We offer oral conscious sedation to alleviate dental anxiety. This medication-induced relaxation helps patients undergo procedures comfortably while remaining responsive. Ideal for complex treatments or sensitive patients, our sedation ensures stress-free visits with post-appointment recovery support.

Our implant services replace missing teeth with permanent, natural-looking solutions. Using titanium posts anchored in the jawbone, we restore single teeth or full arches with crowns, bridges, or dentures. This process integrates advanced imaging for precise placement and long-term stability.

We prioritize urgent cases like severe toothaches, broken teeth, or lost fillings. Our team provides immediate pain relief and diagnostic evaluations to address infections, trauma, or acute oral injuries during business hours.

Our low-radiation digital X-rays capture detailed images of teeth, roots, and jaw structures. These images aid in diagnosing cavities, gum disease, and developmental issues with instant electronic viewing. Enhanced clarity supports accurate treatment planning and patient education.

Ive been going to Digital Denistry for years and appreciate some of the extra care and attention provided. I love the high-tech, one-sitting service for crowns, and they have always been perfect. The front room staff is also friendly and go out of their way to be helpful.

After of dealing with two adjoining root canals and crowns and finally getting up the nerve to go to another dentist. I was shocked to find out by looking at the x-rays and talking to my new dentist that a large piece of cement was left between the crowns by Digital Denistry. They never felt right, and my calls to the office never resolved anything. An oral surgeon actually gave me basic care tips to get by for years.

But now I am faced with bone loss. I have to have one of the root canals extracted (and keep in mind this had a crown on it). This was thousands of dollars and best we can figure out is was because of shotty work and poor communication from the office. So it's a very expensive tooth extraction and plus bone grafting plus a new implant if the wallet allows. All because of bad workmanship and skill from this dentist and a less than kind customer service oriented or poor business manager/front desk help.

I will say the rest of the staff was kind and friendly, but that doesn't pay the bills. I can, in no way, recommend this business and probably should have reported them. Sure mistakes happen. If so, do everything you can to fix them not dismiss patients.

Stephanie is second to none. She does a great job and is meticulous, gentle and very client oriented. Dr. Gary adds the icing to a great service. Thank you Stephanie, Dr. Gary and Kim

Always a great experience at Southpoint Digital Dentistry! I've been going there since 2007 and love the staff.

This is a great place to go for dental care. Everyone is friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

I am probably the person with the most dental anxiety on the planet. Friends raved to me about Digital Dentistry years ago, and I still put off going. When I finally called, the woman answering the phone really made me feel welcome. in a super professional way. They were all so professional and yet so warm and kind. I was able to completely relax under the care of the dental hygienist, which is not usual for me.

I know! Even a cleaning freaks me out. But not here. I met the dentist briefly and had a great conversation. about teeth! I would say it was a GREAT experience! My husband was shocked when I came home from the dentist happy rather than saying, "I absolutely must take a nap now. We can talk later." He made his own appointment the next day. Thanks to all of you at Digital Dentistry for being so good at your jobs AND being so kind. See ya in 6 months!

I am very scared to go the dentist. Unreasonable, maybe.but real to me. Kim made me feel very comfortable and explained everything to me. Dr Schlotterer has a calming influence and nice chair side manner. I will return just not to soon. LOL!

Been going to this Dentist for over 30 years! They are honest trustworthy people. You will not be disappointed. You will not be talked into anything you do not need. Nor will they trick you like some do. They care about you and are so fun to talk to. They are my second family that I get to see every 6 months. I love them all.

As usual they are extremely friendly and the work is professional with outstanding results. I am never disappointed on how I am treated. I would recommend Digital Dentistry to anyone

I have been a patient at Digital Dentistry for amost 20 years and have always received great service from Dr Schlotterer and his team. I recently had crown put on and was very satisfied. Staff is always nice and professional! I can't imagine not having this team for my dental needs.

I had my quarterly cleaning yesterday morning (I like to try and go 4 times a year, don't always make it). Anyway can't say enough about how great the team is. Everyone is happy, helpful and knowledgable. I've been a patient since I moved to Durham several years ago. Strongly recomend this team if you're looking for a new Dental Practice. You won't be disapointed.

Well, like me I don't know anyone that likes to go to the dentist, but the staff at Digital Dentistry were super kind, and Dr. Schlotterer who worked on my tooth was very gentle. Thanks!

Dr. Schlotterer is amazing! His work gave our son the confidence to smile again! From the second we arrived at the office we were greeted by the friendly staff. The entire staff is caring. DDAS is the best!

This is the way a dental office should be! They took the time to make sure all my questions were answered and that I understood and was comfortable moving forward. The whole office treated me with respect and kindness. Thank you!

Ive always tried to avoid going to the dentist and as a result I avoided it for way too long. Time caught up with me and I needed a lot of work done. The folks at Digital Dentistry at Southpoint were very patient with me and talked me through 2 root canals. Now, Ill be getting my regular checkups here for years to come. I appreciate the service.

I just became a new patient at Digital Dentistry at Southpoint and I gotta say the name is accurate. They have all the latest dental equipment, it's very high tech. Not only do they have high end tools, they also provide a service I've never experienced at a dentist, or anywhere for that matter. They perform a check for oral cancer. I was surprised and impressed. And it was nice to know they didn't find any warning signs of cancer.

Dr. Gary and his staff were professional and very nice. I was totally impressed. If your looking for a top notch dentist in Durham, North Carolina, go visit Dr. Gary Schlotterer at Digital Dentistry at Southpoint. I highly recommend them

Quick, friendly, professional dental office. Dr. Gary Schlotterer, the staff--everyone took such care to explain what they were doing and why, what my options were, and patiently answered all my questions. Im so happy I found Digital Dentistry at Southpoint, I'm in really good hands.

I have been to several dentists over the years and I gotta say Dr. Schlotterer's office is the best. They're very professional and relaxed at the same time. Dr. Schlotterer listened to my concerns and did everything to alleviate those concerns. My whole family goes to him now. Looks like we made a home with a dentist. Thanks!

Dr. Gary is amazing! I really like the facility he has established, its always clean, and accommodating. He is patient and thorough which I think is so important. I had an emergency and received a same day appointment and had a tooth extraction with not much pain. Ive found my new dentist!

Was able to get into see Gary this morning for a sensitive tooth issue! he took X-rays and was able to explain what was going on so I could understand. He didn't even jump to conclusions with major procedures like a root canal. I am so relieved to have found a Dr who cares!

You will not find a better dental practice. Nice and caring staff and all the latest and greatest technologies. THIS IS A GREAT EXPERIENCE!

Good work by some great folks. Dr Gary Schlotterer has been my dentist since he graduated from LSU and started his practice in Durham. I will go to no one else.
