Dr. Reid L. Chaney
“I enjoy being able to interact with such a variety of people. It is so important to me to be able to grow, not only as a dentist but as a person. I learn from my patients on a daily basis and I appreciate all they have given me. I chose dentistry to help others fulfill their dental health care needs. Every patient is unique and must be treated as such; everyone deserves the same amount of attention and respect.”
Education& Continuing Education
Originally from Kannapolis, NC, Dr. Chaney attended the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill for his Bachelor of Arts degree in biology. He proceeded to Boston University School of Dental Medicine, where he earned his Doctorate of Dental Medicine. As the dental profession is constantly evolving, Dr. Chaney understands the importance of remaining up to date on new dental technology and materials. He has completed courses in occlusion through the Dawson Academy and is certified in both Invisalign® clear aligner treatment and Lumineers® veneers.
