Western North Carolina families have many options when choosing a pediatric dentist or orthodontist. We believe that is a good thing—and that families deserve to understand what makes each practice different before choosing where to receive care.
At Great Smiles Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics, our combination of specialized training, local ownership, community recognition, and decades of experience helps set us apart.
Nearly a Decade of Best of WNC Recognition
Great Smiles has been recognized as a Best of WNC winner for nearly a decade. That kind of recognition does not happen by accident. It reflects years of patients and families throughout Asheville, North Asheville, Waynesville, Sylva, and Marion choosing our team—and then recommending us to their friends and neighbors.
In 2026, Great Smiles was also named a BusinessRate Best of winner for both pediatric dentistry and orthodontics, making us one of the few practices in Western North Carolina to earn recognition across both specialties.
Awards are meaningful, but the trust behind them matters even more. Every recommendation, positive review, and returning family represents someone who chose Great Smiles to play an important role in their family’s care.
Dual-Trained Expertise Under One Roof
One of the qualities that distinguishes Great Smiles from many other practices in the region is the specialized training behind our care.
Dr. Stephanie Chambers is dual-trained in both pediatric dentistry and orthodontics. These are two separate and demanding specialties that require advanced education and clinical training beyond dental school.
This dual-specialty background provides a valuable perspective when caring for growing smiles. A child’s immediate dental health, jaw development, tooth eruption, bite, and potential future orthodontic needs can all be considered as part of a more comprehensive approach to care.
Having pediatric dentistry and orthodontics within the same practice can also make care more convenient and coordinated. Children can begin with preventive dental visits and, when appropriate, transition into braces, Invisalign, or another orthodontic treatment with a team they already know and trust.
Locally Owned and Independently Operated
Great Smiles is locally owned and operated—not part of a national corporate dental chain. The doctors and team members caring for patients are also closely connected to the Western North Carolina communities they serve.
Local ownership allows decisions about patient care and the practice experience to remain with the people who work directly with local families. It also helps Great Smiles maintain the personal relationships and welcoming environment that have been central to the practice for more than 40 years.
The people guiding the practice are the same people treating children, supporting teens through orthodontic treatment, and helping parents make informed decisions about their family’s dental care.
Pediatric Dentistry Designed Around Children
Children have different dental, developmental, and emotional needs than adults. Great Smiles provides specialized pediatric dental care designed to help infants, children, and teens feel safe, comfortable, and confident during their visits.
From routine cleanings and preventive care to restorative treatment and guidance for parents, the goal is to create positive experiences that help children develop healthy habits for life.
Families searching for a pediatric dentist in Waynesville, Asheville, North Asheville, Sylva, or Marion can receive preventive, restorative, and developmental dental care in a welcoming environment created specifically for young patients.
Orthodontic Care for Children, Teens, and Adults
Great Smiles provides personalized orthodontic care for patients of all ages. Treatment options may include:
- Traditional metal braces
- Clear ceramic braces
- Invisalign and clear aligners
- Custom retainers
- Early orthodontic treatment
- Comprehensive orthodontic care for teens and adults
Every patient receives recommendations based on their teeth, bite, development, lifestyle, and treatment goals.
Whether a family is looking for an orthodontist in Asheville, braces near Sylva, Invisalign in Waynesville, or orthodontic services in Marion, Great Smiles provides specialized care supported by advanced training and personalized treatment planning.
Five Convenient Locations Across Western North Carolina
Great Smiles serves families from five convenient locations throughout Western North Carolina. Each office provides access to compassionate care while maintaining the same commitment to personalized treatment and a welcoming patient experience.

One Practice for Growing Smiles
A child’s dental needs change as they grow. A young patient may begin with routine cleanings and preventive care before eventually needing an orthodontic evaluation, braces, Invisalign, or retainers.
Because Great Smiles offers pediatric dentistry and orthodontics within the same practice, the teams can help families navigate these different stages with greater continuity. Children can remain in a familiar environment while parents receive coordinated guidance about their dental development and orthodontic needs.
The goal is not simply to address one appointment or one phase of treatment. It is to support healthy, confident smiles throughout childhood, adolescence, and beyond.
Experience the Great Smiles Difference
When families ask what sets Great Smiles apart, we can point to the awards, specialized training, local ownership, convenient locations, and more than four decades of serving Western North Carolina.
However, what truly defines the practice is the experience families have when they walk through the doors: compassionate doctors, familiar faces, personalized recommendations, and a team committed to helping every patient feel comfortable and confident.
