Pediatric Dentist in Mallard Creek, NC

For families in the Mallard Creek area of Charlotte, the search for a trusted pediatric dentist often ends much closer than expected. Our office at 2325 West Arbors Drive sits just off Mallard Creek Church Road, making University Pediatric Dentistry one of the most conveniently located board-certified pediatric dental practices for Mallard Creek residents.

She is a member of the ADA, the AAPD, the National Dental Association and the North Carolina Association of Pediatric Dentistry.

Pediatric Dental Care That Mallard Creek Families Trust

Mallard Creek is one of Charlotte’s most established family neighborhoods, with schools, parks and a community identity built around young families. Our Mallard Creek patients often tell us that what they value most is the consistency. Dr. Funny does not rotate through a roster of associates. She is in the office every day, she knows your child’s name before you arrive and she takes time to build rapport before any dental care begins.

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a child’s first dental visit by their first birthday and checkups and cleanings every six months thereafter. For Mallard Creek families, our location makes following that schedule genuinely easy. The office is nearby, appointments run on time and the environment is designed so children feel safe and comfortable rather than anxious.

Sensory-Friendly and Anxiety-Aware Care

Our office features private rooms with adjustable lighting, sensory tools and a low-stimulation setup for children who are sensitive to new environments or who have had difficult experiences at other dental offices. If your Mallard Creek child has dental anxiety or sensory processing differences, let us know before your appointment so we can prepare accordingly.

Privately Owned for Over 18 Years

University Pediatric Dentistry is not part of a dental service organization and has never been. Dr. Funny has owned and operated this practice for over 18 years, which means Mallard Creek families always see the same dentist and always receive care shaped by Dr. Funny’s values rather than a corporate protocol.
