Dr Leighton Fain

I truly believe everyone deserves access to oral health care and the confidence that comes with a healthy smile. Through stable and predictable dentistry, my goal is to help patients achieve their oral health goals in a way that feels thoughtful, collaborative, and long-lasting. A Diverse Path To Dentistry I like to say I’m Texas-born and Kansas-raised. I earned my BA from Miami University in Ohio before completing my DMD at the University of Kentucky in 2014. After dental school, I moved to Charlotte to complete a General Practice Residency at Carolinas Medical Center (now Atrium), where I focused on treating medically compromised patients and individuals with head and neck cancer. Following my residency, I transitioned into private practice, where I continue to care for patients today. Continuous Growth & Comprehensive Care One of my favorite aspects of dentistry is seeing my skills improve every single day. I enjoy providing comprehensive dental care by working closely with specialists to create treatment plans that are successful, durable, and tailored to each patient. I stay current in the evolving field of dentistry through study clubs, seminars, and hands-on workshops, ensuring my patients benefit from modern, evidence-based care. Committed To Public Health Public health dentistry is a true passion of mine. I believe it’s a responsibility of healthcare providers to serve all communities, and I’m proud to volunteer monthly at Agape Dental Ministry, where I’ve provided free dental care to qualifying patients since 2022. Life Outside The Office When I’m not practicing dentistry, I enjoy baking, cooking, attending group fitness classes, and trying new restaurants with friends.
