- Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28
Dr. Arnette grew up in Dillon, SC on a farm and graduated Dillon High School where he excelled as a student athlete in football. He then attended Clemson University in the fall of 1998 and was on the varsity football team (Clemson Tigers) for one year as a walk-on. Clemson is where Dr. Arnette met his wife Tiffany, graduating in 2002 as a chemistry major.
Dr. Arnette worked as a chemist at a pharmaceutical company but became interested in dentistry after his wife worked for a dental office. Eventually, he entered dental school at the Medical University of South Carolina, located in Charleston, SC. During dental school, Dr. Arnette and Tiffany added to their family with the birth of their daughter. Upon graduation in 2010, the family of three moved to Winston-Salem, NC to be closer to Tiffany’s extended family. Shortly after getting established in Winston-Salem as a dentist at Dental Works, the second addition to the family was celebrated with the birth of their son.
For the next few years Dr. Arnette worked hard to sharpen his skills as a dentist while exploring the Triad area with his young family. In time, he settled on Kernersville as a growing area to open a private dental office. At the time, office space in town was scarce, but he noticed an early 1900’s craftsman style house located on the North end of main street that was available. The house needed significant repair and would take a good bit of renovation to make it into a modern dental office. But, Dr. Arnette thought it was worth the effort since the house would provide a unique and relaxing environment for his patients. With renovation complete, Dr. Arnette opened his private practice in May of 2013.
Ten years have passed since starting the practice in the house, which it (the house) certainly has not disappointed. Having a dental office in a 1900’s house has presented some challenges, but patients have enjoyed and routinely express their appreciation for the office. Patients enjoy seeing a beautiful older home being brought back to life and maintained with care just as Dr. Arnette does.
Currently, since those beginnings described above, Dr. Arnette’s daughter and son have grown into teenagers. He and his family are active members and participate in the community through Triad Baptist Church in Kernersville. Also, they have homeschooled their children and appreciate the extensive homeschool community throughout the Triad. Whenever possible, Dr. Arnette and family try to enjoy outdoor recreational activities such as biking, hiking, daily walks, camping, and fishing just to name a few. Being an avid fisherman, don’t hesitate to share your fishing stories with Dr. Arnette the next time you are in the office. We all know the fish tend to get bigger with each telling of a fishing tale, so pictures are welcome!
