Our patients often comment that Dr. Lori Pappert appears to love her work.  How true!  Dr. Lori J. Pappert has been practicing dentistry since 1990 and cannot imagine spending her time doing anything else.  When asked what she enjoys most, Dr. Pappert replied: “I get the most satisfaction from getting to know my patients and helping them achieve optimal dental health.  I am honored that my patients trust me with their mouths.  It is a responsibility I do not take lightly.”

Dr. Pappert believes that being a constant student of her profession is the way to give patients the best, most up-to-date care possible.  She has advanced training in cosmetic dentistry and comprehensive care.  She has attended some of the most renowned continuing education facilities available for dentists:  The Center for Advanced Dental Study, the L.D. Pankey Institute for Advanced Dental Education and the Kois Center. 

Dr. Pappert was raised in Allen Park, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit.  She attended Albion College where she received a Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry.  In 1990 she graduated from the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston as a Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD).  In 1993 she made Charlotte her home.

William Linger, DDS MAGD

As a second generation dentist, Dr. Linger feels a calling and has a true passion for what he does. 

Few dentists have achieved the level of training that Dr. Linger has as a Master of the Academy of General Dentistry. Less than 1 percent of dentists have achieved this designation. It represents training across the broad range of dentistry from surgery to cosmetics.  He uses this extensive training and experience to treat even the most challenging dental situations, by performing all treatment in the same office. 

Dr. Linger has been recognized for skill in the surgery and restoration of dental implants as a Fellow of the International Congress for Oral Implantology, one of the highest international designations for the most life changing treatment that dentistry offers.  

Dr. Linger has studied with some of the world’s leaders in cosmetic dentistry including the Pankey Institute and the Dawson Center for Advanced Dental Study. With extensive experience with veneers, bonding and esthetic reconstruction, he has been able to help his patients achieve dramatic results with smile makeovers.

He believes in helping fearful patients accomplish their goal of being healthy.  He serves as a mentor for other dentists through the Dental Organization for Conscious Sedation. 

Dentistry is as much of an art as a science. Dr. Linger is an artist in both his professional and personal life. An avid musician, he plays guitar, piano, and several other instruments. He also enjoys mountain biking, skiing, golf and cooking.  He and wife Sabrina have two daughters.
