A new dental practice is coming to Davidson County, offering a complete line of services from cleanings to oral surgery, and a way to finance the bill or become a member to reduce the out-of-pocket cost for dental services.
Dr. Kushan Shah and his wife, Dr. Mansi Shah, are opening My Dentaville in the Tyro community at 4423 NC Highway 150. The 2,600 square-foot office is going in the shopping center where the Snap Fitness gym formerly was.
“The name Dentaville comes from this being a small town,” office manager Lydia Ramos said. “We want to be that small, town home feel dental practice. We want to be part of the community.”
The dentists were unable to be interviewed because of a family illness but provided information and a photo for this story.
Dentaville will be open on a smaller scale at first, with Dr. Kushan Shah working on Tuesdays and Thursdays. As the practice grows with more patients, Dr. Mansi Shah will join him, Ramos said.
The target opening date is June 20. There is still some work to do with painting, lighting and installing equipment.
The dentists will offer pediatric and adult dental care. A full range of services will be offered from dental cleanings and x-rays to dental implants, oral surgery teeth whitening and more.
The practice will accept most insurance and is working to be able to accept Medicaid. There will be financing programs for people without insurance. The first is a financing program through Sunbit. The other will be a membership program that allows you to prepay for a year’s worth of cleanings and X-rays.
“That cost will be less than what it will cost if you had insurance,” Ramos said.
The Shahs have dreamed of opening their own dental practice for years, they wrote in an emailed statement. They are both 2011 graduates of Gujarat University with bachelor’s degrees in dental surgery. After practicing in India, they moved to Fort Worth, Texas, to pursue their master’s degrees in public health at the University of North Texas.
In addition, they pursued additional training and graduated from Boston University with DMDs in 2017. They have worked at a dental practice in Concord for the past seven years.
Once the practice is open, people can call for an appointment at 336-296-3330 or make an appointment on the website www.mydentaville.com.
