Who We Are
Meet Our Dentist

Dr. Minka Hotic
Like most, Dr. Hotic did not enjoy going to the dentists and for this reason she has made it her mission to change the perception of dentistry. Our goal is to educate you and empower you to make the best possible decisions when it comes to your health and teeth. We want to make it a fun and comfortable patient experience. Gone are the days of not loving to visit the dentist.
I knew that dentistry was my calling after volunteering at a dental clinic in Maputo, Mozambique. Witnessing firsthand the impact dentistry could have on one's life by transforming a smile confirmed my calling.

Practice Philosophy

At Dentistry of Uptown Charlotte, our philosophy is simple: treat every patient the way we would treat our own family—with honesty, compassion, and excellence.
We believe that high-quality dentistry begins with listening. Dr. Minka Hotic takes the time to understand each patient’s unique goals, concerns, and lifestyle in order to co-create treatment plans that are grounded in science, precision, and respect. Our approach is comprehensive and prevention-focused, aimed at achieving long-term oral health and confident, natural smiles.
What sets us apart is the time and attention we dedicate to every individual. We are not a high-volume, transactional office. Instead, we intentionally slow things down so we can focus entirely on each patient—building relationships, not just completing procedures. So much of modern dentistry is reactive, but we work diligently to take a proactive, thoughtful approach—identifying the underlying causes of dental concerns rather than simply treating the symptoms.
We are committed to continuous learning and the use of advanced materials and techniques to deliver care that is as comfortable and minimally invasive as possible. Just as importantly, we strive to create a welcoming environment where every patient feels seen, heard, and genuinely cared for—from the first phone call to the final follow-up.
Our team shares a common purpose: to serve with integrity, grow with intention, and build lasting relationships that elevate both health and happiness. This is dentistry done with purpose—where your care is never rushed, never routine, and always centered around you.
