About Laura S. Hobbs, DDS
Dr. Laura S. Hobbs was born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. From a young age, she wanted to be a Tar Heel and a dentist. In high school, her family relocated to Winston-Salem and she was able to achieve her dream of studying at UNC Chapel Hill. With a passion for creative writing, art and math, she ended up focusing on Journalism, specifically Advertising. After a year of working in a nationally renowned advertising agency, Dr. Hobbs longed for a more community-focused career. Shadowing area dentists confirmed her passion for healthcare and she enrolled in pre-dental courses. One year later, she was back in Chapel Hill at the UNC School of Dentistry for a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree. In dental school, Dr. Hobbs immersed herself in pediatric rotations, community service organizations, and dental implants. She served on the Admissions Committee and enjoys mentoring pre-dental students of various backgrounds. After graduation, Dr. Hobbs realized she was now a North Carolinian for life and moved to Charlotte to join the collaborative team at Charlotte Dentistry. She strives to see each patient as an individual, working with patients to create the best treatment plan for their unique desires and needs. She especially likes working with children and doing cosmetic dentistry. Dr. Hobbs is a member of the American Dental Association, the North Carolina Dental Society, and the Charlotte Dental Society. Whenever possible, she volunteers with local dental clinics to provide free care. When not cheering on all teams Pittsburgh and UNC (and now her husband’s Alabama Crimson Tide), Dr. Hobbs and her husband spend as much time as possible in the mountains, hiking and skiing. They are expecting their first child in the summer of 2018.
