Dr. Peleaux's Biography — Colleen and I found our way to the Charlotte area after finishing our education and falling in love with the Tar Heel state during our six years in Chapel Hill. The long summers and mild winters were a welcome change from our home state of Minnesota. We both enjoy gardening, focusing on cultivating native plants which attract birds and butterflies to our yard. Our second passion is photography.

Dr. Picot remained in Chapel Hill to receive his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree and later completed a general practice residency at the Palmetto Health Richland Memorial Hospital in Columbia, SC. In September of 2009 Dr. Picot opened SouthEnd Dentistry at the age of 28 with the vision of providing the best in dental care, utilizing the latest in technology, in a soothing environment for its guests. In a space that used to serve as a private golf club, Dr. Picot designed and built a dental practice that doesn't seem like a dental office. Countless hours are spent designing and executing customized treatment plans for our patients and restrategizing how to create an even better experience for them. Dr. Picot takes a comprehensive approach to treatment planning while practicing conservative dentistry. This means that he uses a team of specialists to strategize and design the best treatment plan for all of his patients. Patients are referred to Dr. Picot to treat complex dental issues. His goal is not only to treat a patient's dental disease or main concern, but to make sure that the dentistry lasts as long as possible and that the cause of disease is addressed. Dr. Picot's goal is not to "patch up" dental disease but to take a look at the big picture (TMJ, occlusion, orthodontics, gum and bone health, cavities) to assess what can be done in your best interests. Dr. Picot practices conservative dentistry by coming up with a plan that will preserve as much tooth structure as possible. The more tooth structure that is conserved, the stronger a restoration or tooth will be. This means that he will create a treatment plan using an onlay rather than a crown if he can save more tooth structure. Bonding or composite will be used rather than an onlay if a tooth does not have a great deal of infection. He will address crowding with Invisalign rather than veneers in the right situation. He is highly regarded and respected by his peers for his decisions in designing your treatment plan. Dr. Picot embraces the philosophy that cosmetic dentistry should not "look like dentistry." Patients rave about their improved and lifelike smiles produced at SouthEnd Dentistry. Friends and loved ones notice a drastic improvement in confidence and overall look without being able to pinpoint that dentistry has been done. It is Dr. Picot's passion and art to design restorations that improve the smile and confidence of his patients without compromising a natural look. Service has always been a priority for Dr. Picot as he founded the UNC Malawi Dental Project, an annual service project encompassing free dental care and education on HIV/AIDS in Malawi Africa. Philanthropy has extended to donating a student locker room at new UNC School of Dentistry building and establishing the annual CommitMEN Scholarship Fund with fellow alumni at Shaker Heights High School. Devotion to service continues through annual participation in Give Kids a Smile, bus dentistry, and volunteering at various schools, recreation centers and career fairs. In the community he has served on boards focusing on educating and mentoring underprivileged youths and fundraised for the arts and the American Heart Association. Memberships include the American Dental Association, National Dental Association, American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, Academy of General Dentistry, North Carolina Dental Society and Old North State Dental Society.
