Laxer, Long & Savage: Specialists in Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics

Pediatric dental care in south Charlotte has a dedicated option at Laxer, Long & Savage, where orthodontics and children’s dentistry share the same practice. The office sits at 7820 Ballantyne Commons Pkwy #200, just off the main drag in a professional complex that’s easy to spot from the road. This isn’t a general dental clinic—it’s built around younger patients, from toddlers getting their first checkups to teens navigating braces or Invisalign. Early orthodontic evaluations, cavity prevention, and even emergency care for knocked-out teeth fit into their scope. Parents often call ahead to ask about sedation options or sports mouthguards, and the front desk fields those questions at (704) 759-0000.

The Ballantyne area pulls in families from across Mecklenburg County, and a practice like this fills a niche between routine cleanings and more complex treatments. Whether it’s interceptive orthodontics for a seven-year-old or a wisdom teeth consultation for a high schooler, the focus stays on developmental stages rather than one-size-fits-all solutions. Second opinions on treatment plans or referrals for oral surgery come up, too. For anyone mapping out the visit, the directions place the suite on the second floor, above a row of ground-level shops.
