Dr. Chris Gudger, a second-generation dentist, has been practicing dentistry for nearly 20 years. He earned his doctorate from the UNC-CH Adams School of Dentistry, and each year, he furthers his education by studying advanced dentistry with the nation’s top clinicians. Included in his studies are specialized courses in dental implants, sedation dentistry, and cosmetic dentistry. The minimum continuing education requirement for dentists in NC is 15 hours and Dr. Gudger averages over 100 every year. Lifetime Family Dental even creates their own aligners in house which allows cost savings to patients and are of equal quality to brand name like "Invisalign®".
