Mint Hill Smiles today announced the continued growth of its independently owned dental practice, highlighting its expanding role in comprehensive family dentistry, pediatric airway care, and community outreach throughout the Charlotte region. Since opening in 2019, the women owned practice has grown from a startup with no scheduled patients into a four doctor practice recognized for combining advanced technology with a patient first approach to care.
Building an Independent Practice With Purpose
Founded by Dr. Shalini Kamodia and Dr. Stephanie Marvelli, Mint Hill Smiles was created with a vision of delivering dentistry that prioritizes relationships, comfort, and personalized care. Rather than following a corporate model, the founders chose to remain independently owned, allowing them to make decisions based on patient needs and long term community impact.
Today, the practice serves families across Mint Hill, Matthews, Indian Trail, Stallings, Weddington, Midland, Albemarle, and southeast Charlotte while continuing to invest in innovations that improve the overall dental experience.
Innovation Focused on Better Patient Outcomes
Technology plays an important role at Mint Hill Smiles, but every investment is made with the goal of improving patient care rather than simply introducing new equipment. The practice provides same day crowns created with in house milling technology, digital intraoral scanning, CBCT three dimensional imaging, AI assisted diagnostics through Overjet, and in house three dimensional printing for aligners, retainers, and surgical guides.
These advancements allow many procedures to be completed more efficiently while improving diagnostic accuracy and reducing the number of appointments required for treatment.
Addressing Children’s Health Beyond Traditional Dentistry
A distinguishing part of the practice is Sleep Better Charlotte, a pediatric airway program led by Dr. Shalini Kamodia that focuses on identifying breathing and sleep related concerns in children during critical stages of development.
Through specialized training in pediatric airway dentistry, Dr. Kamodia evaluates conditions that may contribute to mouth breathing, restless sleep, snoring, and jaw development concerns. Early treatment can help support healthy growth while providing families with solutions that extend beyond traditional dental care.
Giving Back Through Local and Global Outreach
Community service remains central to the mission of Mint Hill Smiles. The practice is working toward its goal of donating 5,000 free dental procedures by 2030 and has already provided more than 1,152 donated smiles through community events, charitable programs, and international dental missions.
In 2026, members of the Mint Hill Smiles team traveled to the Dominican Republic, providing 351 dental procedures for underserved communities while continuing the practice’s commitment to expanding access to oral healthcare both locally and internationally.
Looking Ahead
As Mint Hill Smiles continues to grow, the practice remains focused on combining compassionate care, advanced dental technology, and preventive health services while maintaining the personalized experience that has guided the organization since its founding. Through continued investment in innovation, education, and community outreach, the practice aims to support healthier smiles and improved quality of life for families throughout the Charlotte region.
