Gray Family Dentistry

Family dental care that still feels approachable, even when handling the uncomfortable bits—cleanings, fillings, crowns, extractions, implants, and TMJ therapy—all fall under one steady schedule. A quick phone call puts the gears in motion for checkups and emergencies alike. When the moment finally arrives, you know what you’re walking into.

The office sits at 1245 16th St NE in Hickory, NC 28601, tucked among brick storefronts and maple-lined sidewalks east of Downtown. After the easy turn off 16th, you’ll recognize the plain facade, sandwiched between a café and an insurance agency. Park once and you’re in.

Same-day appointments aren’t advertised, but afternoon slots tend to open faster. One ring sends you straight to scheduling; the receptionist reads back the date without slogging through menus. Numbers roll crisply across the familiar greeting: (828) 270-7997.

A click on “directions” (https://www.google.com/maps/place?ftid=0x885131ab10623279:0x8a04387aef5f141b) pins the route right down to the handicap spaces. Quickest path avoids the train tracks and I-40 merge altogether; the final mile glides under shady oaks before you brake in front of the double glass doors.
