The Clear Alternative to Braces
Invisalign® treatment consists of a series of custom-made aligning trays. Your dentist will make changes to the trays every few weeks to fit the new tooth configuration. Since Invisalign reduces the visual impact, the aligning trays can be temporarily removed for those all-important occasions. This means that the treatment duration is patient-controlled. A great number of people report complete satisfaction with both the Invisalign treatment and the stunning results.

Insurance
CarolinasDentist is a preferred provider for most dental insurance plans, including:

I had a lot of anxiety and I, like most people, would feel a lot of shame when I was told I need to floss more or that I had a cavity.CarolinasDentist has turned that around. This is the first dentist where I got to meet everyone before even sitting in the chair. Everyone is so nice and genuinely cares about how you’re doing. So much of my dental visits had been a mystery until I went here. Everyone explains everything to me, what they’re going to do, why they’re doing it and what everything means before even looking in my mouth. They always make me feel understood, comfortable and supported. I’ve had an amazing experience here and recommend to everyone. Read Less

Starting with the lady's at the front desk. I was given a tablet to complete my registration. I was advised that if I had any difficulties with it they would help me. I was taken back to an examination room an nice young lady name Haley explained what she would be doing an why. She helped me complete the tablet and then took the x-rays that were needed. Then a nice hygienist came in the room and took measurements. The dentist (don't remember her name) came in. She reviewed my x-rays and did an examination of my mouth. She then explained options about the procedures I would need. Haley scheduled an appointment for me to have an extraction. I was taken to a coordinator (Moriah) and was explained a payment plan and the advantages of joining their dental plan. I haven't been more impressed then this group of fine professional people. I have already recommended Carolina Dentist to a family member. A thank you to the whole team. Read Less

I walked in super nervous and that feeling slowing faded away. These young ladies in there didnt make me feel pressured or as if I was just a person that will pay all this money. I felt comfortable and at ease. And that means alot coming from a person has a fear of the dentist and at first I was ashamed of even speaking of it out loud. But dont get me wrong I still have a fear but it has taken a backseat for at least now. I highly recommend this dentist to anyone Read Less

He was very unpleasant in communication, snobbish and biased to me, as I am an immigrant, have Ukrainian last name and speak with the accent. I felt like the man still lives in 18th century with class division and prejudice. When I told my husband that he wanted to know in details regarding my employment to measure the size of my pocket, we just made fun of that. While I was in pain, he did not help me with that tooth the same day, but referred me to the Endodontist with the other teeth that did not ache. Then, he sent me into to the office with a mean-faced lady, who provided me false information on my insurance coverage (which was was 50% for major procedures), while she told me that major procedures were 100% out of my pocket. I had to drive all the way from Chapel Hill to Apex to get medical assistance from a professional doctor, who took my pretty complicated case at the end of her shift the same day, and helped me with the aching tooth.I was going to cancel my next day morning appointment with Carolinas Dentist, but it was too late to cancel it. I am glad I did not cancel that appointment, as the Doctor I saw the next day, Dr. Vraj Gajjar, turned out to be great, easygoing, friendly and professional. His assistant was also awesome, so I had completely opposite experience to the first one. Only because of my great second day experience, the clinic got 4 stars instead of 1 ⭐. Read Less
