Pediatric Dentist in Huntersville, NC

Huntersville has no shortage of dental offices, but board-certified pediatric specialists with deep frenectomy experience and over 18 years of private-practice ownership are harder to find. Many Huntersville families make the 25-minute drive south on I-77 to University Pediatric Dentistry because the level of care they find here is not something they have come across closer to home.

Dr. Funny is the owner of University Pediatric Dentistry, located in Charlotte’s University City area. She is a board-certified pediatric dentist, a Diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry, a Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and a member of the ADA, the AAPD, the National Dental Association and the North Carolina Association of Pediatric Dentistry. Huntersville families who need tongue-tie and lip-tie treatment or a long-term pediatric dental home will find both at our office.

Why Huntersville Families Drive to University Pediatric Dentistry

Huntersville has grown into one of the Charlotte region’s most active family communities, and with that growth comes higher expectations for children’s healthcare. Our Huntersville patients tell us they chose Dr. Funny because they wanted a dentist who would actually know their child over time. University Pediatric Dentistry has never been part of a corporate dental group, and Dr. Funny is in the office every day.

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a child’s first dental visit by their first birthday, followed by checkups and cleanings twice a year. Having a consistent provider who your child is comfortable with makes those visits productive rather than stressful. Our Huntersville patients consistently tell us their children look forward to coming in, which reflects what Dr. Funny and our team put into every appointment.

Female Board-Certified Pediatric Dentist

Dr. Funny is one of the few female board-certified pediatric dentists in the Charlotte region. This is an important factor for many Huntersville families, and it is one of the most common reasons parents give for making the drive from the Lake Norman area to see her.

Over 1,000 Google Reviews at 4.9 Stars

Tongue-Tie and Lip-Tie Treatment for Huntersville Families

Frenectomy procedures are among our most requested services, and many of the families who seek them out travel from Huntersville, Cornelius, Davidson and the broader Lake Norman area. Dr. Funny uses the Solea® CO₂ laser for tongue-tie and lip-tie releases, which results in minimal discomfort, no sutures and faster recovery compared to traditional methods.

A referral from a lactation consultant, pediatrician or speech therapist is required to schedule a functional assessment with Dr. Funny. Once we receive the referral, we work to get Huntersville families scheduled as quickly as possible, with same-week availability in most urgent cases. After every procedure, Dr. Funny personally follows up by virtual call to check on healing and answer any questions.
