Aten & Garofalo’s
Practice History

As one of the best dentists in Ballantyne, NC, Dr. Aten has remained one of Charlotte Magazine’s top dentists for 13 consecutive years. Dr. Aten has a strong reputation in the Ballantyne community and comes highly recommended.

Dr. Aten invited Dr. Anthony Garofalo, DDS to join her practice as a partner. The combination of their expertise in dental services gave birth to what is now Aten & Garofalo Dentistry.

Dr. Deborah Aten, DDS is one of the very first dentists to establish a comprehensive dental practice in the Ballantyne area in 2001. She envisioned a conveniently located dental practice with a warm, friendly, and welcoming atmosphere. She hoped to create a general dentistry practice that combined years of experience and empathy to help patients with dental anxiety feel at ease while providing optimal oral health care.

Dr. Aten also aims to provide all patients of Aten & Garofalo Dentistry with convenient access to dental work and the peace of mind that their family’s oral health is in good hands.

Today, Aten & Garofalo Dentistry continues its commitment to providing the highest quality oral care and bringing back more smiles to the world, one patient at a time.
