About Us

Dentistry Built On Relationships

“Dentistry is not just about teeth, but about forming relationships. My goal is to build a strong partnership with my patients—understanding their individual needs and goals so that together we can achieve the healthy, confident smile they desire.”

That belief guides how I approach every patient interaction. I value open communication, trust, and collaboration, because the best outcomes happen when patients feel supported and understood.

Rooted In The Local Community

I’m proud to call Huntersville, North Carolina my hometown. I attended Cannon School in Concord and earned my biology degree from UNC Charlotte, where I also had the opportunity to play Division I soccer for the Niners for four years and compete in the NCAA tournament multiple times. Being part of a team shaped my work ethic and reinforced the importance of dedication, discipline, and teamwork.

Advanced Training With A Patient-First Focus

I was honored to be accepted into the inaugural class at the ECU School of Dental Medicine in Greenville, NC. During my training, I gained advanced experience in endodontics, periodontics, and oral surgery while caring for patients throughout Greenville and the surrounding communities. I continued my education at ECU through an AEGD program, further expanding my skills across multiple dental specialties.

After practicing in Virginia Beach while my husband served in the Navy, I was excited to return to the Lake Norman area to continue my dental career and serve the community I love.

Care You Can Feel Confident In

At McNeely & Mallette Family Dentistry, I take great pride in helping patients achieve optimal oral health. Whether I’m relieving discomfort, restoring function, or enhancing a smile, my goal is always the same—to provide thoughtful, compassionate care that truly makes a difference.

Life Outside The Office

When I’m not practicing dentistry, I enjoy spending quality time with my family, staying active through workouts, and playing soccer recreationally.

Committed To Lifelong Oral Health

“I am passionate about promoting lifelong oral health care by helping patients restore and maintain a healthy smile.”

That passion drives how I approach dentistry every day. I believe in caring for patients in a way that supports not only their immediate needs, but their long-term oral health and confidence as well.

A Purpose-Driven Path To Dentistry

I’m originally from Hermitage, Pennsylvania, and I earned my education at both State University and West Virginia University, where I completed my DDS degree. I was drawn to dentistry because it allows me to truly make a difference in people’s lives while blending art, science, and hands-on skill.

Skilled, Thoughtful Care

Dentistry gives me the opportunity to use precision, creativity, and problem-solving to help patients achieve healthier smiles. I take pride in providing care that is thoughtful, attentive, and focused on helping each patient feel confident in their treatment and outcomes.

Life Outside The Office

When I’m not in the office, I enjoy spending time with my family, training for half-marathons and marathons, staying active through exercise, and cheering on Pittsburgh sports teams.

Care That Patients Remember

“People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

That quote reflects how I approach patient care. I want every person I work with to feel comfortable, supported, and genuinely cared for—because the experience matters just as much as the outcome.

A Hometown Connection

I’m a Charlotte native, which I know makes me a bit of a unicorn, and I’m proud to serve the community that raised me. Building relationships with patients in my hometown makes my work especially meaningful.

Where Creativity Meets Care

I chose dentistry because it beautifully combines healthcare and creativity. I’ve always loved artistic outlets, and dentistry allows me to use that creative side while forming meaningful connections and helping patients feel more confident in their smiles. The most rewarding part of my job is being part of that journey and making a positive difference in how people feel about themselves.

A Calm, Personal Approach

Patients often describe me as having a calming presence, a personable approach, and a caring nature. My goal is to help patients feel at ease from the moment they sit in the chair, knowing they’re in compassionate and capable hands.

Life Outside The Office

Outside of dentistry, I enjoy spending time with my family and staying busy as a new mom to my one-year-old son. I also have a puppy named Nola—named for my love of New Orleans. A fun fact about me is that my brother is also a dentist; he’s an oral surgeon.

Care Guided By Respect And Compassion

“Treat others the way you would want to be treated—every patient, every visit.”

That philosophy is at the heart of how I practice dentistry. My goal is for every patient to feel comfortable, heard, and respected, knowing their care is always delivered with kindness and integrity.

A Purpose-Driven Path To Dentistry

My journey into dentistry began with a strong interest in science and healthcare, paired with a deep desire to make a meaningful difference in my community. As I explored different medical paths, dentistry stood out for its unique ability to improve overall health, restore confidence, and enhance quality of life. Seeing how dental care can relieve pain, restore function, and transform smiles confirmed this was the right path for me.

With over 10 years of experience, I provide comprehensive general dental care, including preventive, restorative, and surgical treatments.

Where Skill Meets Confidence

While I enjoy all aspects of dentistry, cosmetic dentistry is where my passion truly shines. Helping patients transform their smiles—and watching their confidence grow—is one of the most rewarding parts of my work. I believe exceptional dentistry goes beyond clinical skill; it’s about genuine care, connection, and trust.

I take pride in meeting patients where they are, easing anxiety, and building long-term relationships through gentle, personalized care.

Committed To Community

Giving back is an important part of who I am. I regularly participate in Missions of Mercy clinics, providing essential dental care to underserved adults who may not otherwise have access to treatment. Serving others is a responsibility I take to heart.

Rooted In Family

I’m proud to call Charlotte home—it’s where I grew up and where I continue to build my life. Outside of the office, I’m a wife and a mom to three young children. Family is at the center of everything I do, and those values guide the way I care for every patient.
