Meet Dr. Sam

Award-winning training, a small-town heart.

Dr. Sam was born and raised in Toronto, Ontario. After earning his undergraduate degree in Biology, he graduated from the University of Detroit Mercy School of Dentistry, where he was presented with the Russell W. Bunting Periodontal Society Award in recognition of outstanding clinical skill.

He began his career in Dallas, Texas, pursuing countless hours of continuing education to deliver the most gentle, efficient, and painless care possible. After several years in Texas, Dr. Sam and his wife moved to North Carolina to be closer to family, and he now cares for patients from Connelly Springs, Rutherford College and across Burke County.

Dr. Sam believes in educating every patient about their options and answering all of their questions, so they feel completely comfortable with their dental home. In his free time he enjoys the North Carolina outdoors with his wife and two daughters, and loves watching and playing sports.

What Guides Us

Care built around you, not the schedule.

A few simple principles shape every visit at our Connelly Springs office, for patients from Rutherford College, Valdese and across Burke County.

Gentle & Patient

We know not everyone looks forward to dental visits. From the front desk to the chair, everything is designed to keep you calm, informed, and in control.

Education First

We use every visit to explain what we see and what your options are, so you can make confident decisions about your own care.

No Unnecessary Treatment

Our experience lets us provide customized treatment after a proper diagnosis, never procedures you do not actually need.

Award-Winning Skill

Advanced clinical training and a genuine commitment to comfort, recognized with the distinguished Russell W. Bunting Award.

Our Philosophy

Complete, customized dental care you can trust.

We are proud to provide complete dental care designed to meet the needs of every patient we see from Connelly Springs, NC, Rutherford College, NC and the surrounding Burke County area. Our experience allows us to deliver customized treatment after a proper, thorough diagnosis, and we use each visit to educate our patients about the importance of oral health and how to maintain it.

Your teeth are meant to last a lifetime.

That belief drives everything we do, from preventive cleanings to advanced restorations. Healthier smiles and fewer treatments over time is the goal for every patient who walks through our door.
