Dr. Picot

About Dr. Picot

Through conservative dentistry and a comprehensive approach, Dr. Picot leads the team with dedication, modern technique and style. A native of Shaker Heights, Ohio, Dr. Picot completed his undergraduate in Business Administration from the Kenan-Flagler Business School at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. It was there that he completed his Doctor of Dental Surgery Degree. After graduating, he went to the Palmetto Health Richland Memorial Hospital in Columbia, SC to complete his general practice residency.

As a Morehead Scholar, now known as Morehead-Cain, Dr. Picot was initiated into Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc, and eventually founded the UNC Malawi Dental Project in 2004, which sends students annually to Africa to provide free dental services and education on AIDS/HIV. He also donated a locker room to the UNC School of Dentistry, which bears his name.

When Dr. Picot opened SouthEnd Dentistry in 2009, he had the opportunity to create his unique vision of what dentistry should look like – a modern and contemporary space where community happens and smiles are improved upon every day. More than 10 years later, Dr. Picot’s vision has paid off – he’s been voted a Top Dentist in Charlotte year after year, and boasts some of the most advanced in-house technology and procedures in the area.

Dr. Picot is still committed to effective dental treatments that address the root cause of symptoms. His wealth of experience has taught him to take a conservative approach to restorations and repairs, preserving as much of the natural tooth as possible. His long-term approach is focused on saving patients time and money, while giving them a smile they can be proud of.
