Overview

Your mouth is your means of eating, speaking, and showing emotion. It is also a major factor in your general health and appearance. In the diseased state, your teeth can cause generalized poor health, pain, infection, and even personality changes. Most people want their teeth to look good, feel good, chew good and to keep them in good health for a lifetime. All of these things are possible in this dentist office with careful planning and commitment by the patient, the doctors, and his staff. Working together, we establish mutual long-term goals, to create the maximum dental health with a minimum of dental treatment.

Dr. H.T. Macon Sapp

Dr Macon Sapp received his undergraduate degree in Biology from Erskine College in 1986. During his high school and college days he found that working in his father’'s dental office doing jobs assigned to him by the staff to be a great source of interest, so after college he entered the University of North Carolina School of Dentistry to follow in his great grandfather’s and father’'s footsteps. At his graduation in 1990 he received the Academy of General Dentistry Senior Student Award for his excellent knowledge, interest, and proficiency in the Science of General Dentistry. He was appointed a volunteer Adjunct Assistant Professor in the department of Diagnostic Sciences and General Dentistry at the Dental School. He holds memberships in the American Dental Association, the North Carolina Dental Society, the Academy of Operative Dentistry. He is a Fellow in the International College of Dentists, and was invited to join in the American Academy of Restorative Dentistry in 1999. Dr. Macon’s passions are his patients, his dental practice, and his two daughters, Ali and Mary Macon. He enjoys biking, fishing, weight training, and working in his yard at home. The opportunity to practice with his father for the last 21 years has afforded him an opportunity to enjoy the practice of dentistry in a special way.

Testimonials

What our patients are saying

"I have been a highly satisfied patient of Drs. Baxter & Macon Sapp since 1995, and cannot rave enough about their competency, professionalism and willingness to go the extra mile. In fact, the entire staff is first-rate in every way, making their patients feel welcome and cared for. The Sapps are more than superior dental technicians; they are essential health care providers, focusing their efforts on the proven link between one's oral health and overall physical well-being. Their business practices are fair, and because they take such a personal interest in their patients, dental issues are carefully explained, allowing one to make well-informed choices. There is nothing "fun" about a trip to the dentist, but this is one practice that leaves you feeling glad you came with true peace-of-mind. Drs. Macon & Baxter Sapp are just extraordinary!"
M.H.
"I have lived in many large cities and different states during my lifetime and I have not found a better dentist than Dr. Baxter Sapp. He helped me through a dental ordeal when no other dentist could. My problems begun when our new dentist in a medium sized city said he could help my migraines with an adjustment to my bite. I thought it would be alright because the adjustment was supposed to be minimal. That began approximately six months of nearly constant and excruciating pain. I exhausted the local dentists and specialists and no one could help me. I even spent a week with my old dentist in Atlanta, but he was not able to help. From sheer desperation, my husband searched the internet for another dentist specializing in TMJ and came across Dr. Baxter Sapp’s name. Call it luck or divine intervention; we thank God for both Dr. Baxter Sapp and his Son Dr. Macon Sapp and their office staff for the care I have received since that time. Dr. Sapp quickly diagnosed my problem, stopped the pain meds and started me on a treatment program which brought about long lasting relief. I’ll never forget that week . He was leaving for a conference the same day I saw him or the next day, and he called from Chicago to see how I was feeling. Both Drs. Sapp truly care about their patients and their total well-being. My husband and I drive 40 miles to come to their practice, and as long as we can drive, we will be here."
