Beyond the most modern technology,
what differentiates one dental office
from the next, is the dentist.
Dr. Steve Edgerton and Dr. David Fisher
have been in practice together since 1980,
nearly 30 years. What makes their partner-ship
so successful is that they have been
great friends for three decades. Underlying
that friendship is a powerful, mutual respect
and admiration for each other’s considerable
dental skills, experience and judgment, a
common belief in and commitment to con-tinuing
education and a shared philosophy
for patient care.
“Our new-patient process, from the ini-tial
one-on-one consultation with the den-tist,
is all about getting to know the patient
personally, and about letting the patient get
to know us personally,” says Dr. Edgerton.
“We can then do a thorough dental exami-nation
and recommend treatment that fits
not only their dental needs, but also their
personal needs.”
The dentists lead by example, and the
tone they have set for their staff of eight
is both professional and kind-hearted. The
staff treats every patient as if they were
members of the Edgerton & Fisher family.
“We try to go beyond service and
offer a kind of family hospitality,” says
Dr. Fisher, “so that we’re treating our
patients like they were guests in our
home. The greatest compliment that our
patients can give us is referring their fam-ily
and friends. And we treat generations
of families in our office.”
Both graduates of UNC dental school,
Drs. Edgerton and Fisher practice general
and family dentistry, as well as cosmetic
and esthetic dentistry, including teeth
whitening, porcelain veneering, bonding,
implant restoration and invisalign.
“We’ve been practicing for 30 years. We
have invaluable expertise, the latest edu-cational
training and cutting-edge dental
technology,” says Dr. Edgerton. “We offer
truly exceptional dental care and we’re
always accepting new patients.”
