In late 1999, Dr. Rudisill began his practice in Shelby, NC as an associate to his father-in-laws practice, Dr. B. Thomas Ellis, DMD PA. Dr. Ellis had been practicing for over 30 years prior to Dr. Rudisill's arrival, and taught Dr. Rudisill about "real life" dentistry. This included treating a patient as if they were family, and not treating a stranger. Relationships were as important as the dentistry, something Dr. Rudisill exemplifies to this day.
After a planned and amiable split a year into the associateship, Dr. Rudisill sought out to establish a practice closer to his home in Gaston County. While planning and designing this new practice, Dr. Rudisill worked for University Dental Associates(Charlotte, NC), Gaston County Health Services, and Davidson County Health Services, collectively, for one year.
On January 1, 2001, Dr. Rudisill started his own practice in Belmont on Wilkinson Blvd. While his practice matured DR. Rudisill had the time and inspiration to incorporate services which he didn't learn in dental school, but felt a recurring need for his patients. He completed a challenging IV sedation residency at the University of Albama/Birmingham(2005-2006), and started other continuum's of education in Invisalign, TMJ evaluation and treatment, and cosmetic dentistry. These three disciplines remain the core of his practice today. He has been involved for over twenty years in study disciplines which focus on comprehensive care, namely the Pankey Institute(Key Biscyane, FL) and the Spear Institute(Scottsdale, AZ). These international programs have allowed Dr. Rudisill to share and study cases from all over the world with some of the most acclaimed dentists.
Dr. Rudisill has kept up with the latest in dental technology for the well-being of his patients. These include using only digital radiography that give more accurate x-ray images and ue less radiation; intra-oral scanning, which eliminates the need for traditional "bubblegum type" impressions and creates much more accurate dental restoration such as crowns and dentures; and Cone-Beam Computed Tomography, a type of full-head and neck imaging that uses a cone-shaped beam to produce detailes, three-dimensional pictures of teeth, sinus's, jawbones, and surrounding tissue.
This detects head, neck, and dental pathologies most accurately, in their early stages which allow quicker diagnosis, treatment, and better overall outcomes.
