Convenient Access from Holly Grove
Most Holly Grove families can be in our chairs in about 8 minutes. Carolina Pines Dentistry practices just east of uptown Lexington, at 1 Weaver Dr, so households looking for a dentist near Holly Grove have only a few miles of familiar road between home and the chair. Three dentists, early starts and a calm office make it simple to bring the whole family.
Starting at the community's volunteer fire department, 2211 East Holly Grove Road, head west on that same road for close to two miles. At the end of the road, turn right onto US 64 for a short stretch, then left onto West Holly Grove Road. That road carries on as North Talbert Boulevard (NC 8); bear right toward East Center Street and you are nearly at our door, 4.2 miles from where you began.
The office sits at the north end of Weaver Drive, where it meets North Carolina Avenue, with East Center Street a few yards beyond. See our spot on Google Maps to save it on your phone. Patients from Erlanger, north of uptown, and from Cotton Grove, down NC 8 to the south, reach us by other roads.
Why Holly Grove Families Choose Our Office
This is a community also known as Conrad Hill or McKee. All three names point to the same stretch of central Davidson County along the east and west halves of its namesake road, between NC 8 and US 64. Conrad Hill itself is remembered as the former site of a gold mine.
Today the community's center of gravity for many parents is Davis-Townsend Elementary, a K-5 school in the Davidson County Schools system that sits about a tenth of a mile from the fire department. When a school is that central, dental care tends to revolve around the school calendar. Our job is to make cleanings, sealants and the occasional repair fit around it instead of the other way around.
We keep things practical. Appointments start at 7:30 AM Monday through Thursday, the office closes at 4 PM, and we are closed on Friday. A few miles north of the community, Davidson-Davie Community College's Davidson Campus on Old Greensboro Road rounds out the local map.
Some kids walk in nervous, and that's normal. Our therapy dog is part of the office routine, and a friendly greeting at the door often does more than any explanation could.
Children's Teeth and Grown-Up Commutes in Holly Grove
Elementary school is when the first permanent molars arrive, and their deep grooves are easy places for decay to start. Sealants coat those chewing surfaces with a thin protective layer, and fluoride treatments add another line of defense. Both fit easily into a regular checkup.
Baby teeth sometimes need help on their way out, and adults occasionally face a tooth that can't be saved. When that happens, our simple tooth extractions are offered at our Weaver Dr office. Whether an extraction is the right call depends on an exam and x-rays.
Good habits at home do most of the daily work. Brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, flossing once kids can manage it and keeping sugary drinks to mealtimes all make checkups go more smoothly.
Playground falls and ballgame bumps happen. If a child chips or loosens a tooth, call the office right away; the team strives to fit you into the schedule, and quick attention gives the tooth its best chance.
Parents matter here too. US 64 runs east from the community to an interchange with I-85, so the interstate is close at hand for commuting parents. A 7:30 AM cleaning can be done before that commute starts.
Care From a Dentist Near Holly Grove
Sedation Dentistry
Nitrous oxide, oral conscious sedation and IV sedation give anxious patients real choices. A parent who has avoided the dentist for years can get caught up with the same support.
Preventative Dentistry
Exams, cleanings, digital x-rays, fluoride and sealants keep elementary-age smiles on track. Adults get oral cancer screenings at their checkups as well.
Oral Surgery
Wisdom tooth removal and other extractions are part of our oral surgery services. Keeping that care in one familiar office also keeps follow-up visits close to home.
Restorative Dentistry
Fillings and crowns repair the cavities and cracks that busy family life sometimes produces. CEREC lets us complete many crowns in a single visit.
CandidPro® Clear Aligners
Patients who want straighter teeth can ask about clear, removable aligners. They come out for meals and brushing, so school lunches stay simple.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Carolina Pines Dentistry from Holly Grove, and how do I get there?
The office is 4.2 miles from the community's fire department, about 8 minutes by car. Take East Holly Grove Road west, a short piece of US 64, then West Holly Grove Road onto North Talbert Boulevard (NC 8) and East Center Street. That makes us a convenient dentist near Holly Grove for school-day appointments.
What happens at a routine dental cleaning and exam?
A cleaning removes plaque and hardened tartar, then polishes the teeth, and the dentist checks your teeth, gums and bite. Digital x-rays are taken when they are due, and an oral cancer screening is part of preventive care here. Any problem found is explained before treatment is planned, so you leave knowing what, if anything, needs attention.
Do you see Holly Grove kids for regular checkups?
Yes, children are welcome for cleanings, exams, fluoride and sealants. Families without insurance can use the child membership plan for ages 0 to 13, which costs $264 a year and covers two cleanings, two exams, one fluoride treatment and routine x-rays. The office therapy dog also helps many younger children feel more relaxed in the chair.
Should a cavity in a Holly Grove child's baby tooth be filled?
Usually, yes. Baby teeth hold space for the adult teeth and help children chew and speak, and untreated decay can spread, cause pain or lead to infection. The dentist weighs how soon that tooth is likely to fall out before recommending a filling. Digital x-rays show decay between teeth early, and the child membership plan covers routine x-rays for ages 0 to 13.
Can a nervous parent from Holly Grove get sedation for dental work?
Yes. We offer nitrous oxide, oral conscious sedation and IV sedation, and Dr. Ashton is certified in oral conscious sedation. New patients can book a complimentary IV sedation consultation to talk through whether that level is a good fit. Every option is discussed before treatment, so you know exactly what to expect on the day.
