About Us

Welcome to Elevate Holistic Dental, where your journey to optimal health is supported by advanced biological dentistry and a compassionate, patient-centered approach. Dr. Eric Kempter and our dedicated team are passionate about keeping teeth alive, vital, and integrated harmoniously with the rest of your body. We believe that oral wellness is completely inseparable from whole-body health, and we serve the Charlotte, NC area with thoughtful, root-cause dentistry that treats you like family.

Our Core Belief

Empowering Your Right to Choose

We do dentistry differently. Dr. Kempter is devoted to providing the highest quality care by seeking answers to complex health questions, even when it means challenging traditional dental dogmas.


We firmly believe in true partnership. You have the ultimate say in what is best for yourself and your family. We passionately support your right to complete informed consent and long-term health autonomy. Every treatment decision we make is carefully balanced to ensure your dental restorations look, feel, and function like natural teeth, while safely weighing the systemic effects of every material used.

The Two Approaches

Optimum Repair vs. Optimum Health

Many patients come to us trapped in a "disease care" cycle: fixing one tooth at a time with no long-term vision. This traditional approach, which we call Optimum Repair, places crowns or fillings to patch immediate damage. However, treating the mouth as isolated parts rather than a system often results in recurring disease, misaligned bites, sore muscles, and repeated, costly procedures.


We practice Optimum Health. This approach looks at your chewing system, joints, muscles, and gums as a single, unified foundation. Together, we create a master plan with a definitive endpoint to limit disease exposure and properly balance your bite.

Short-Term Repair

Strategic, short-term care where the goal is to stop the disease temporarily.

Your Care, Your Choice

We will help you understand your health and your options, creating a customized strategy that matches your personal values. We honor and respect your autonomy, offering three paths based on your goals:
