Living in Ardmore provides residents
with many opportunities to live, work
and play within 5 minutes of almost
everything you could possibly need.
Finding a Dr. within the area is no
different! Finding a Dr. with “Ardmore”
in the practice name is even better.
When it comes to your health, you want
a health professional who is the best at
what they do. Your dental health is no
different. When we think of going to the dentist we think of
cleanings and checkups. However, when the time comes
where further treatment is necessary, we all want to know that
our dentist is knowledgeable, experienced, careful,
understands his or her patients and provides as pain-free a
procedure as is medically possible.
That’s what makes Dr. Nickolas Kephart, DDS of Ardmore
Dentistry at 3165 Maplewood Avenue, Suite 102 in
Winston-Salem, an excellent choice to manage and care for
your dental health. Dr. Kephart completed his undergraduate
degree in biology at Appalachian State University in 2009. He
went on to receive his Doctorate of Dental Surgery in 2013
from the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, North
Carolina. While in school Dr. Kephart proudly received the
following awards:
American College of Prosthodontists Award for
Outstanding Achievement in the Study of Prosthodontics
(2013)
The Academy of Operative Dentistry Award for
Outstanding Achievement in Operative Dentistry (2013)
C.L. Sockwell Scholarship Award for Achievement in
Dental Anatomy (2012)
Board of Governors Dental Scholarship (2009-2012) Dr. Kephart offers preventive care which includes annual
teeth cleaning; fluoride treatments for both children and
adults to harden the enamel on their teeth; also for
children, sealants, or plastic resin coatings, that are
designed to make the chewing surface of the back teeth
more resistant to decay, and thus prevent cavities and
further treatment and pain later on. Another service not
normally thought of from your dentist is an oral cancer
screening test. This non-invasive procedure is simple,
doesn’t hurt and only takes a couple of minutes to perform,
yet just as in other screening procedures, it could possibly
save your life someday. As with most conditions, early
detection is the key in treating and curing the disease.
They offer cosmetic restorative services with the primary
objective to help you preserve your natural teeth and keep
them healthy. Of course, these services also help augment
the appearance as well. Services include bonding, which
helps repair small cracks or chips in the tooth; inlays and
onlays to repair larger cavities; porcelain veneers that
repair larger fissures and also reshape teeth; removal of
unhealthy teeth; Endodontics, including root canal
treatments when necessary to save a diseased tooth; fillings
to repair decayed portions, which also come in
“tooth-colored” finishes to help the fillings blend with your
surrounding teeth; teeth-whitening services and tooth
decay prevention measures to ward off future potential
issues. They also provide limited orthodontic treatment and
care to align teeth in a more correct and attractive position.
This treatment includes the popular Invisalign Clear
Aligners that perform the function necessary, while also
being discreet and practically unnoticeable. When chipped
or missing teeth are the problem, they offer crowns and
bridgework, including full and partial dentures and more to
restore their function and improve the appearance.
Originally from Murphy, North Carolina, after graduation
from UNC, Dr. Kephart joined another very well-known and
respected dentist in this area, Dr. Kenneth Phillips, DDS.
Today, Dr. Kephart is a leader in providing quality dental care
using advanced methods and technology that have proven to
be most effective. Dr. Kephart explains the inspiration behind
his choice of dentistry, “I have always been mechanically
inclined, and dentistry allows me to use my talent to help a
wide array of different patients. My parents instilled in me at
an early age to be grateful for my natural gifts and to use them
to help the less fortunate.” The results speak for themselves,
because his practice has garnered lots of very loyal and
satisfied patients. Dr. Kephart practices exclusively in Winston Salem and
focuses on all aspects of general and cosmetic dentistry.
Dr. Kephart continues to take advanced training in various
aspects of dentistry to stay abreast in his field. He is also
gives back to many local charities like the North Carolina
Mission of Mercy Clinics and Giving Hands Free Dental
Clinic.
