Dr. Kathryn Riley

Dr. Kathryn Riley is a dedicated dental professional committed to providing patient-centered, compassionate care. She is a Charlotte, NC native. From an early age, she knew she wanted to be a dentist. Her childhood fascination with dentistry began in her hometown dental office, where she was captivated by a book of before-and-after cases that inspired her to pursue a career creating those same transformative moments for others.

Dr. Riley earned her Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) and completed a residency at the VA Hospital in Baltimore, MD. She later returned home to Charlotte, where she practiced at another dental office for more than two years before transitioning to Riccobene Associates. Clinically, she is passionate about crown and bridge work, root canals, and single implant placement, and she is also Invisalign certified. Her greatest motivation comes from improving patients’ lives by helping them out of pain, building their confidence, and easing dental anxiety through a gentle, understanding approach.
