Dr. Jim Meletiou, DDS

Doctor Jim Meletiou is a native of North Carolina, born in Morganton. Besides North Carolina, he enjoyed growing up California, New York, Iowa and the country of Sweden. After graduation from the University of Iowa College of Dentistry he began his first career in dentistry as an instructor in Oral Diagnosis and Radiology at the University of Iowa College of Dentistry. Now, he combines his love of practicing dentistry and teaching through his advanced training in CEREC technology also known as, same day crowns. He is one of only a handful of dentists in our state who is certified to train other doctors in this technology. He derives a lot of satisfaction helping his patients to achieve and maintain their healthy smile through the use of this technology. Among his non professional achievements that he is most proud of is rising to the rank of Eagle Scout and later serving as an Assistant District Executive with a Boy Scout council in Wisconsin. In his spare time, Jim can usually be found outside with his wife, Teresa, and daughters (and his dogs!) participating in a number of sporting activities or just enjoying all the Lake Norman area has to offer!

I can’t recommend Dr. Jim highly enough. He saw me immediately for a painful tooth infection, and from the moment I arrived, I felt I was in excellent hands. He was professional, courteous, compassionate, and incredibly kind. He took the time to explain everything clearly, making sure I understood my treatment options and felt comfortable every step of the way. It’s rare to find a dentist who combines such expertise with genuine care for their patients. I’m so grateful for his prompt attention and exceptional care. Thank you, Dr. Jim and all the wonderful staff for exceeding my expectations!

I had an outstanding experience with Dr. Jim Meletiou and his entire team. Dr. Jim used state-of-the-art technology to complete my molar crown procedure, and I was genuinely impressed by both his expertise and attention to detail. What really stood out was how patiently and thoroughly he explained the entire technical process, making me feel informed and comfortable every step of the way. The dental assistant, hygienist, and office staff were all extremely professional, knowledgeable, and courteous. From scheduling to treatment and follow-up, the level of care and customer service was exceptional. The office runs very efficiently, and everyone makes you feel welcome and valued as a patient. If you are looking for a dental practice that combines advanced technology with compassionate, high-quality care, I highly recommend Dr. Jim and his amazing team!

Dr. Jim Meletiou is absolutely fantastic. He is an exceptional dentist with incredible bedside manner. He always conducts himself with the utmost professionalism while exuding compassion toward his patients. It is evident that he takes great pride in his work and rightly so. As a patient who has a history of being afraid of going to the dentist, it is a relief to find one who puts my fears at ease. I will gladly keep coming back to Dr. Meletiou at The Smile Architects and will proudly recommend to anyone looking for a phenomenal dentist!

Had a great experience from the front door to leaving. Everyone was friendly, engaging, communicative, and attentive. Dr. Meletiou spent plenty of time with me, asking questions, listening, diagnosing, and build a game plan to help correct several challenges I was experiencing. Liz, Darby, and Karen all enjoyed working there and it was reflected by their attitude and engagement. Highly recommend to those looking for a talented and friendly dentistry professional.
