At Purple Tooth Dental
Purple Tooth Pediatric Dentistry & Braces opened in Mt Holly, NC in October 2021 with a straightforward mission: build a dental office where children feel safe, have fun, and leave wanting to come back. Four years later, we’re seeing more than 120 new patients each month — almost all of them referred by families who couldn’t stop talking about us.
We’re not a dental chain. We’re not a franchise. Purple Tooth is a locally owned, community-rooted practice founded by Dr. Jon Kacz, a DMD with advanced training in pediatric dentistry, orthodontics, and tongue tie treatment. Every decision we make — from the way we talk to kids during appointments to the seasonal displays in our front entrance — is designed around one family at a time.
Walk into most dental offices and you’ll find beige walls and a waiting room with magazines. Walk into Purple Tooth and you might find a themed installation that kids crawl through, or a display that parents photograph and post before they’ve even checked in. We do that on purpose.
But the in-office experience is only part of it. What actually keeps families driving past other dental offices to come to us is how we treat their kids:
At Purple Tooth, Dr. Kacz provides:
We’re in-network with Delta Dental and accept Medicaid. 0% financing is available for orthodontic treatment.
Purple Tooth is located at 112 Woodlawn Ave, Mt Holly, NC 28120, serving families throughout Gaston County. Our office includes digital impressions, laser dentistry, intraoral cameras, and a CBCT scanner. Every treatment room has a TV with Netflix, noise-canceling headphones, and a massage chair.
Purple Tooth yard signs can be spotted near interstates throughout Gaston County — placed by families who want their neighbors to know where they take their kids. Dr. Kacz co-founded WakeSmiles, a volunteer dental office in Raleigh, and has volunteered dental care in Puerto Rico, Mexico, Costa Rica, and Honduras.
Dr. Jon Kaczmarski, DMD is the founder and lead dentist at Purple Tooth. He completed a pediatric dental residency in New York, has treated more than 500 orthodontic patients, and has presented on pediatric dentistry at international conferences in Mexico, El Salvador, and South Africa. He is bilingual in English and Spanish. Learn more about Dr. Kacz →
