Compass Dental

Up near the Catawba River, fourth street drifts past frame houses and mid-century bungalows turned local shops before you hit the medical strip. On that stretch sits Compass Dental, where routine cleanings and X-rays share space with crowns and implants. Patients also drop by for night guards, emergency exams, and the occasional filling that can’t wait until morning.

The office sits at 1330 4th St Dr NW, Hickory, NC 28601, a straight shot down from the river park entrance and easy to spot between the auto shop and the urgent-care sign. Fresh paint, a new roof, and double glass doors give the building a clean face that matches the inside work. Inside the building is another story entirely.

Six operatories handle everything from pediatric checkups to wisdom-tooth removals. Oral-cancer screenings and gum therapy slots share the schedule with bite-mold impressions for invisible aligners. Patients needing root canals or dentures often book follow-ups right on the spot; the front desk handles it without drama.
