Dr. Qing Ming Chen, DMD, PhD, has cared for Matthews and south Charlotte families since 2010. Crowns milled while you wait, implants planned on 3D scans, Invisalign and braces for teens and adults, and pediatric care, all in one office.
Bright Dental Charlotte files your claims for you. Bring your card and we'll confirm your benefits at check-in. No insurance? Ask about the In-House Dental Savings Plan.
One annual fee of $345 covers your checkups and preventive care for the year, with no waiting period, plus discounts on additional services. A simple option if you don't have dental insurance.
Dr. Chen invested in CEREC and cone-beam CT so crowns are finished the same day and implants are placed with 3D precision. Named one of America's Best Dentists in 2017 and 2018, she treats patients the way she'd treat her own family.
Your crown is designed and milled in-office while you wait. No impressions, no temporary, no second visit.
Cone-beam CT scans and guided placement for single teeth, multiple teeth, or dentures that stay put.
Clear aligners or traditional braces for teens and adults, managed by your own dentist.
Kids' cleanings, sealants, and exams alongside mom and dad's appointments. One office for everyone.
Open Saturdays 9 AM to 3 PM, plus Friday until 3, so care fits around work and school.
Easy access from Matthews, Mint Hill, Indian Trail, Weddington, and south Charlotte.
Dr. Chen earned her DMD in 2001 and a PhD in Pharmacology in 1996 from the University of Manitoba, and also holds a medical degree. Her clinical range covers crowns, bridges, root canals, implants, periodontics, oral surgery, orthodontics, and cosmetic dentistry, so families can meet nearly every need in one office.
Recognized as one of America's Best Dentists in 2017 and 2018, Dr. Chen is a member of the ADA, the North Carolina Dental Association, and the Academy of General Dentistry, and a partner of Nobel Biocare for implants.
