Sharon HenningsSharon Carver

Hello, I am Sharon Carver, originally from Evansville, Indiana. I moved to Charlotte 25 years ago, and have 3 grown children, and 10 grandchildren. I spend my free time playing with the grandkids and going to auctions to buy and sell "treasures". Some of the grandkids love it too and are learning to save money by being a savvy consumer.
I have been in the healthcare field for 25 years and my true love is where I  am now - a solo family dental practice. I enjoy knowing our patients by name, NOT a number. It is great to get to know entire families and watch the children grow. My biggest enjoyment in dentistry is seeing the actual results of what could be "before" and "after" pictures. To see smiles change so dramatically and a patient's happiness, confidence, and even youthfullness going out our door is truly wonderful!  


Bonnie CollinsBonnie Collins

Hello, I'm Bonnie Collins. I'm a native of Charlotte. I'm the mother of three terrific daughters and have one super grandson. I've been married for 24 years to a wonderful husband. I started in the dental field while in high school. I started my career working in the front office. After taking some time off to be a full-time mother, I decided that I wanted to further my career in the dental field and obtained my DAII Certification. I have been assisting for over seven years and have thoroughly enjoyed every minute. I'm very excited to be a part of Dr. Sumlin's staff and I'm looking forward to being a part of our patient's dental care.
