Services
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners offer a discreet, removable solution for straightening teeth. Using advanced technology like Spark and uLab systems, we provide customized aligners that gradually shift teeth into optimal alignment. This treatment is ideal for patients seeking aesthetic and convenient orthodontic care without traditional brackets.
Braces
Modern braces deliver efficient, reliable results through advanced self-ligating designs and custom bracket systems. We use Stride and Lightforce technologies to minimize adjustments while maximizing comfort and effectiveness. This treatment is perfect for patients requiring precise tooth movement and long-term stability.
Retainers
Retainers preserve your new smile after active orthodontic treatment. We provide durable, customized retainers to prevent teeth from shifting back to their original positions. Proper retainer use ensures lasting results and maintains the investment made in achieving your ideal alignment.
Early Treatment
Early intervention addresses developing orthodontic issues in children around age 7. By identifying problems early, we can guide jaw growth and prevent more complex treatments later. This approach ensures optimal dental development and reduces future treatment duration.
Emergency Orthodontics
We provide prompt solutions for orthodontic emergencies, such as broken brackets or discomfort. Our team is available to address urgent concerns, ensuring patient safety and treatment continuity. Emergency care prioritizes immediate relief and minimizes disruptions to ongoing treatment plans.

Everyone in this office is great. They made my son very comfortable. He was a transfer patient and he stated they were even nicer than his other dentist in Florida. The office made his transfer to another orthodontist easy and wonderful.

This office is very nice and efficient and clean. I just have a few recommendations: turn down the country-Christian music. Between the staff talking at full volume when they are walking through the halls and the praise of Jesus at a clearly audible level, masked talkers and the see-through shields it is very difficult to hear staff. I am not sure why they choose to talk about their weekend at full volume but speak to me about my child's treatment so softly.
I am a late-40's mother and can hear normally, but the abundance of auditory obstacles makes it very difficult to hear about my son's treatment. Lastly, my 14-year-old son is going to give me very little information regarding his treatment after he comes from the back area. So please have your staff thoroughly explain what took place while I waited in the front lobby.

Dr Herring and his family traveled from Chapel Hill to the Hickory office on a Friday evening while the office was closed to address an issue with my daughter's braces. The matter could have waited until office hours. Dr Herring's attention to detail and patient care is bar none!

Exemplary service from scheduling desk for my first appt which went very well. I did not have to wait and everyone was kind and professional. They have the latest scanning technology which at least in my case took away the need for clay impressions. Wow!

I dreaded getting braces as an adult, but Dr. Herring and his staff made my experience so wonderful that I actually looked forward to my appointments each time. The building is always clean and organized. The staff is so friendly, and you can tell they really enjoy their jobs and one another because they are always laughing and bringing smiles to their patients faces. Dr. Herring is so attentive, patient, and the kindest doctor I've met in a long time. Absolutely amazing place, and I recommend anyone and everyone to go here! Thank you for being so wonderful!
