Shae King, DMD

The closest reliable teeth cleaning is only a few exits off I-85 in Concord. Shae King, DMD handles the basics—routine exams, fillings, crowns—and will refer out for jaw work if needed. A Cone Health affiliate, the office keeps it simple: digital X-rays, fluoride treatments, night guards. If you’re due for a check-up or just need a quick hygienist visit, the front desk will walk you through insurance faster than the average chain practice.

Drive west on George W. Liles Parkway; the building sits between Carolina Mall and a Chick-fil-A drive-thru. The address is 316 George W Liles Pkwy Concord, NC 28027. Once you pass the car dealerships, the sign is hard to miss—dentistry isn’t subtle around here. Public transit drops you at the park-and-ride one block north, so biking or walking still beats circling the lot.

Call (980) 331-7163 before 3 p.m. to lock in an afternoon slot and avoid the rush from the courthouse next door. They’ll confirm coverage over the phone instead of making you explain it twice in the chair. Translation: fewer surprises, clearer next steps. After hours, the office slips voicemails to the on-call team for emergencies.

Sync your GPS to the map here—the pin drops exactly where the sidewalk meets the entrance. Concord’s sprawl means you’ll still hit every light on the way, but at least the traffic lights here don’t run on dentist hours.
