Since opening over a decade ago, CarolinasDentist has established itself as a trusted, community-oriented dental provider not just here in the Sandhills but in the greater North Carolina region. With 13 locations stretching from the beaches of Wilmington to the mountains of Asheville, CarolinasDentist offers comprehensive, patient-centered care to North Carolinians of all ages.
“Our Southern Pines location is known for ensuring patients feel like family,” said Janay Ducos, practice manager. “We’re committed to fostering a friendly environment that puts everyone at ease, no matter their age or dental needs. Patients especially appreciate our team of skilled, friendly staff who are passionate about helping people achieve their healthiest, happiest smiles.”
Ducos has been with CarolinasDentist for 11 years in roles that include dental assistant, treatment coordinator, assistant practice manager, and now practice manager. She herself is a strong advocate for patient-centered care and takes care to apply this philosophy to every patient interaction.
Whether it’s through personalized treatment plans, flexible financing options, or friendly interactions, the staff makes sure that patients feel valued and cared for.
With a focus on convenience and accessibility, CarolinasDentist provides a broad range of services for patients from all walks of life. From pediatric care to dentures, they aim to meet the varying needs of all patients in one location.
“For kids, we focus on creating a fun, gentle experience with preventive treatments like sealants and fluoride,” Ducos said. “Teens and adults can benefit from our orthodontic, cosmetic, and restorative options, while older adults have access to specialized care such as implants and dentures.”
The Southern Pines office even offers extended hours from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday to accommodate busy family schedules, and they often arrange for multiple family members to be seen on the same day.
“Our ‘positively different dental experience’ is all about patient-centered care,” Ducos explained. “We prioritize building trust, making every appointment comfortable, and going above and beyond to meet patients’ needs.”
CarolinasDentist integrates advanced technology into its practices to improve patient care and outcomes. With digital X-rays that reduce radiation exposure, intraoral cameras to provide patients with a clearer view of their dental health, and same-day crowns that offer quick, effective solutions, the practice continually upgrades its services to further patient comfort and treatment efficiency.
“Staying connected to our communities is central to our mission,” Ducos explained. “Each CarolinasDentist location actively participates in local events, health fairs, and outreach programs to engage with and give back to our neighbors. From free dental days to partnerships with local charities, we strive to make a positive impact in every community.”
Looking forward, CarolinasDentist aims to expand its reach and offer treatments to even more communities across North Carolina.
“We want readers to know that CarolinasDentist isn’t just a place for dental treatment—it’s a community of caring professionals dedicated to transforming dental experiences,” she said. “Our team is here to support each patient’s journey to better oral health and confidence.”
