General Dentistry - Raleigh, Cary NC

Dr. Stanley offers general dentistry for the entire family. With the many innovations made in dental care, the days of “drill and fill” are over. This care emphasizes prevention, early diagnosis and truly conservative treatment.

Comprehensive Oral Exams

These exams include a thorough cleaning, periodontal (gum) evaluation, fluoride treatment, oral cancer screening, intra-oral camera photos and digital x-rays.

Oral Cancer Screening

Dr. Stanley conducts an oral cancer screening every time you visit for a cleaning with ViziLite technology.

Fluoride Treatment

We usually recommend that children and adult patients receive fluoride treatments twice per year.

Cold Sore Treatment

Laser dentistry can quickly and comfortably treat aphthous ulcers in the mouth, giving immediate pain relief and healing the ulcer in 24 to 72 hours.

Frenectomy

Frenectomy is the laser-guided removal of frenulum - a thin band of tissue found under the tongue and attached to the center of the upper and lower lip. These can cause gaps in between your teeth or periodontal recession.

Bruxism Appliances

Night guard appliances are available to reduce the damage to your teeth from grinding or clenching during sleep.

Oral and IV Sedation

For patients who have dental anxiety or wish to turn multiple visits into one, Dr. Stanley offers oral and IV Sedation dentistry as well as nitrous oxide. These treatments help even the most nervous patient completely relax through the appointment. Safe and effective, sedation dentistry relieves any fears or worries you may have. Dr. Stanley will help you choose the best option for you.

Root Canal Therapy

By using advances in technology, materials and instrumentation, Dr. Stanley makes this previously feared procedure not only tolerable, but also often quite comfortable. Root canal therapies are commonly completed in one visit and patients are usually pleasantly surprised when they are finished, astonished at how painless it was.

Wisdom Teeth Extractions

With the benefits of IV Sedation, our practice makes wisdom Teeth Extractions both comfortable and convenient.

Ridge Augmentation

If you have had teeth missing from birth or trauma, ridge augmentation makes Dental Implant placement possible. Using a collagen that builds gum tissue, AlloDerm, we can build up the gum so that an implant can be placed.

Implant Restoration

In the event that the ceramic tooth on a Dental Implant cracks or breaks, we can restore it and replace it to keep your smile healthy, attractive and strong.

Gum Recontouring on Sensitive Roots

Receding gums may lead to exposed roots. The exposed roots may be sensitive to temperature changes, vulnerable to decay and associated with loss of supporting bone. AlloDerm®, a regenerative tissue treatment, can gently, safely and effectively cover and protect the root surfaces.

Emergency Care

Dr. Stanley welcomes patients with an emergency dental need to call at any time during office hours. In the event of an emergency after hours, Dr. Stanley can be reached via cell phone.
