What the record tells you
Summit Smile Innovations, the trading name of James M Piper II DMD MS PA, is an NPI registry record for a dental organization at 181 W Wilkes Medical Center Rd in Ferguson, North Carolina 28624. CMS issued NPI 1518820059 on 3 December 2025, and the practice last updated its own entry on 3 December 2025. That is recent, so the contact details are likely to be current.
It is registered under 2 dental taxonomy codes: Dentist (122300000X), Prosthodontics (1223P0700X). That puts it in 2 categories on this site, led by general dentistry. A practice that registers more than one category is telling CMS it does more than one kind of dental work at this address, which is why it has a page here rather than a row. No other address in the registry carries this name, though a practice trading under a chain brand often registers each office under its own legal name, so check the brand as well. One further NPI is registered to what looks like the same business at this address (Piedmont Dental Associates, NPI 1518344035); it is covered by this page rather than given a page of their own.
Ferguson holds 3 registered dental practices inside the North Wilkesboro, NC area, which has 22 in total on the North Carolina side and ranks 26th in the state. 3 of the Ferguson records also register general dentistry, so this is one of only a handful of local options in that category. Across the metro the mix runs general dentistry 68.2%, pediatric dentistry 18.2%, dental clinic or center 13.6%. The closest other registered practices are Rick Hensley DMD, PA DBA Rick Hensley Family Dentistry (0 miles, Ferguson), Southern Dental Associates (7.6 miles, Wilkesboro) and Southern Dental (7.6 miles, Wilkesboro), with 2 more inside 7.6 miles.
On our figures a routine adult cleaning in North Carolina runs $95 to $140 cash and scaling and root planing $168 to $260 per quadrant, against a US average of $125. This practice's own prices are not in the registry and never will be: NPPES holds identifiers, not fees. Call (336) 973-5060 and ask for the cash price on code D1110, whether the exam and X-rays are included, and whether they run a membership plan if you have no insurance.

What to ask when you call
- The cash price for D1110, a routine adult cleaning, and whether the exam (D0120) and X-rays (D0274) are inside or outside that number.
- Whether you need scaling and root planing before a routine clean, and the per-quadrant price for D4341 or D4342 if so.
- Whether they run an in-house membership plan, and what it covers against what it costs a year.
- Whether they are taking new patients and how far out the next hygiene appointment is.
- The practice license, with your state dental board. An NPI is a billing identifier and proves nothing about licensing.
CMS NPPES NPI data file, August 2026, snapshot 10 August 2026. US federal public data (FOIA-disclosable, no charge). CMS NPI files. NPI registry records, status as reported by CMS in the August 2026 data dissemination file. NPPES is an identifier registry, not a license register: an NPI does not validate that a practice is licensed, accredited or currently open. Practices maintain their own NPPES entries. Every page shows the date the record was last updated; addresses and phone numbers are as self-reported and are not verified by us. This page describes a registry record. It is not a review, an endorsement or a check on Summit Smile Innovations.
Price figures are our own, last verified April 2026. State averages are our estimates compiled from FAIR Health regional cost data and CMS Medicare fee schedules; the ADA discontinued its national Survey of Dental Fees in 2023, so no national fee survey exists. Treat them as a starting point and call two or three offices for an actual quote.
