Update January 7 2025
Today I got a new crown to further add value to my mouth. I was treated by one of the new doctors, Dr Sydney Ellen. I sat in the chair and in little more than an hour Dr. Ellen did the preparation work and did a digital scan and then “manufactured “ and installed my new crown. It fit perfectly.
Mint Hill Dentistry has always had top-notch professional doctors and technicians, and Dr. Ellen a terrific addition. I’m so proud of my 33 years with them.

Update August 2025
Mint Hill Dentistry is still the best and continues by growing their staff. Great people!

Mint hill dentistry was truly a place full of awe and wonder. I never thought true hospitality was a concept until I walked through those doors. I cannot stress how much I recommend these doctors enough, each one is easily a master at their craft.

My hygienist today was absolutely wonderful and such a positive and upbeat person and professional! She was patient and understood how sensitive my teeth were to the electrical tool used for cleaning teeth! That meant the world to me that she ensured that my cleaning was painless and for that I’m grateful! Thank you for taking great care of me and my smile!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much! We are happy to have you!

Amazing friendly and helpful front office staff, we have come a few times now and each time is a great experience
Melissa Ingersoll
I brought both of my children in for a cleaning. Sam was fantastic- she had a great technique and approach and was able to get both of my young children to cooperate happily for their cleaning. She was even able to take xrays on my six year old- which was very important. I will be requesting her for all future appointments!
Paul Everett

Penny Poulos-Bass
The absolute best dentist office I have ever been too. From the appointment setting as a new patient to the arrival checkin and of course the actual work. Dr. Earl Sullivan and Ms. Michelle were just perfect. They took great care and detail in explaining how an old filling that had been giving me problems from the time it was put in from a previous dentist at another location. He fixed it and I’m very pleased. Not the slightest of pain as he was taking out the old filling and replacing with a new filling, unlike the place I went before. Finding them is a true gem. I will never ever go to any place else. My 12 year will now be going. Thank you Dr. E Sullivan and Ms. Michelle. Highly recommend Mint Hill Dentistry.
