Dr Claire Rodrigues

Growing up, my mom and I needed a lot of dental work. I saw first-hand the difference a smile could make in helping someone feel confident. Dr. Claire Rodrigues (Papp) grew up in a Navy family, moving from coast to coast before making Charlotte her final home. After graduating from Virginia Tech with a Business Management degree, she earned her Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine in Tampa, FL. She loves seeing patients’ lives change through dentistry and making them feel at home during their time in the office. Dr. Rodrigues received the Humanitarian Award from the International College of Dentistry in 2019. Dr. Rodrigues has served on the board of the Charlotte Dental Society and is a member of the American Dental Association and the NC Dental Society. She is a current member of the Greater Charlotte Seattle Study Club, which allows her to expand her knowledge and capabilities for her patients. She also obtained additional training in molar endodontics and surgery. She loves enjoying her free time with her husband, Nicholas, and their three dogs and exploring all aspects of Charlotte, from hiking in the mountains to boating on Lake Norman. She also enjoys working out, reading, crosswords, volunteering for Charlotte SPCA, and traveling anywhere her family can.
