Our Doctors Deliver a Brighter Smile
General dentists in Winston-Salem, Eddie Baust, DMD and Chase Joyce, DMD, take the time to listen to their patients in order to better understand their concerns. They empathize with their patients and want them to know they are being treated by a professional team that cares about their oral health. By making sure they listen to what their patients are saying, Dr. Baust and Dr. Joyce are able to help them achieve their dental goals.
Dr. Baust and Dr. Joyce enjoy having the ability to change the lives of their patients on a daily basis. Modern dental methods allow them to provide a level of care that is determined by the individual needs of the patient. Whether the patient needs preventative care, has a cosmetic dental issue or is suffering from mouth pain, both doctors are committed to making a long-lasting difference that improves the confidence and quality of life of the patient.

Dr. Baust and his wife moved to Winston-Salem in December of 2020 with the dream of opening a dental practice and making it their new home. His goal is to make every patient feel welcome to the practice and to answer all questions.
