Digital X-rays
Digital radiography (digital X-ray) is the most efficient and comfortable way to take dental X-rays. They use electronic sensors instead of traditional film, which means they can be viewed immediately (no waiting for processing!). Another benefit is that they’ve been shown to emit less radiation than traditional X-rays (radiation reduced 80-90%).
3D Cone Beam Imaging
Our cone beam X-ray rotates around your head to get a high-definition, 3D view of your mouth, jaw, and neck. Such a comprehensive, detailed look is extremely useful when planning complex treatments like dental implants.
iTero® Digital Impressions
You don’t have to deal with the uncomfortable process of getting those goopy impressions taken anymore. We use iTero to take precise digital impressions of your teeth. In just a couple of minutes, we’ll have a 3D model of your mouth to show you and use for treatment planning.
Intraoral Cameras
Have you ever wanted to see what’s happening inside your mouth with your own eyes? Observing and understanding what’s going on with your teeth and gums is vital to feeling confident with your level of dental care. It also helps you take a more active role in your own treatment plan, which is what we want for you! We use intraoral cameras to take pictures and videos of your mouth and then project them onto a screen, so you can see what we see for yourself.
CEREC®
Now you can eliminate all those extra visits and stop having to wait weeks for your dental crown to be made by an outside lab. Our single-visit CEREC system allows us to do it all right from our dental clinic, the same day as your appointment. In under two hours, CEREC turns digital impressions into a virtual design for a custom-fitted restoration with its on-site milling unit. You can learn more about same-day dental crowns on our Restorative page!
Dental Lasers
Using lasers isn’t just for science fiction. They’re actually an incredibly helpful tool in modern dental clinics. Soft tissue lasers treat issues such as gum disease with precision, resulting in a more comfortable procedure overall and a speedier recovery time. Talk about your win-win! Today’s hard tissue lasers have replaced those noisy, vibrating dental drills of yesteryear, which were the cause of much fear and anxiety about the dentist’s office. In fact, these leading-edge lasers have even eliminated the need for anesthetic use. And that’s another win for you!
I was incredibly impressed and happy with the care I received here. I’m an anxious mess when it comes to the dentist and hadn’t been in 8 years, but never once did anyone make me feel embarrassed or judged.Teigan was the first hygienist I saw, and she was amazing. She was very thorough, explained everything clearly, and always made sure I understood what was going on. Dr. Lefeber came in and helped me prioritize the multiple things I needed done, which made the whole process feel much less overwhelming. He was even able to get me scheduled just a couple days later!Today I had my procedure done, and I was equally impressed by the level of care and thoroughness from everyone involved. Abby and Dr. Lefeber worked like a well oiled machine together! Some of the office staff, Jon and Alyssa, were also incredibly comforting and supportive throughout the process.I genuinely could not be happier to have found a dentist office where I feel comfortable coming back again. Thank you all so much for making such an intimidating experience feel manageable and positive!
Needed an emergency wisdom tooth extraction and Dr Kim made it happen! The staff was very nice and made me feel welcomed and comfortable. Dr Kim explained every step of the process during the procedure as well which helped with my anxiety. Highly recommend this office for any needs. I appreciate everyone at CarolinasDentist that took care of me.
Having moved from the Cincinnati area here to the Fayetteville area I had to reestablish contact with all new health providers. Let me just say from start to finish everything exceeded my expectations of what a healthcare provider should be. The initial appointment was set up for August and I asked to be placed on the list if there should be any cancellations because I was overdue for my six month cleaning. I was actually able to get in two months earlier than the initial appointment. The staff was very accommodating and explained everything, but what really made me happy was the modern equipment they used to take care of my exam and my cleaning. Everything was explained as to what they were doing, and they had me totally at ease that I was in good hands.Every staff member I interacted with was pleasant and friendly. I was so impressed that I went ahead and signed up for the dental plan as I have recently retired and no longer have dental Insurance and this seemed like the best way to go.
