Dr. Steven White

Why dentistry?

My father was a dentist and I loved the idea of working with my hands while really helping people.

Education

Originally from Charlotte, Dr. White earned his undergraduate degree at Davidson College. He went on to complete his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill School of Dentistry.

"Best dental experience I have had in 10 years. Just started going to White & Haines and they did a great job very comfortable and thorough cleaning and Dr. White was extremely knowledgeable and a nice guy as well. Both my wife and I had cleaning appointments this past week and could not be happier."

Dr. Claire Papp

Why dentistry?

Growing up, my mom and I needed a lot of dental work. I saw first-hand the difference a smile could make in helping someone feel confident.

Education

Dr. Claire Papp grew up in a Navy family, moving from coast to coast before making Charlotte her final home. After graduating from Virginia Tech with a Business Management degree, she earned her Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine in Tampa, FL.

“Dr. Papp is amazing!! I have been to many offices in the area and have not been happy. Dr. Papp has done fillings, root canals, and bridges for my family. All of our visits have been above our expectations. She takes the time to educate us so we were able to make educated decisions about our families teeth. I highly recommend you scheduling a visit with her!”
