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:

Read MoreI have visited many dentists in the area over the years but was searching for a new one (sadly I am a fearful patient). Dr. McDaniel was understanding of my apprehension, and while she recommended a crown for a broken molar, she honored my request to "patch" the broken tooth. She also used a different numbing medication (novocain has never worked for me), and for the first time in 50 years, I had NO PAIN. Because of this experience, I will absolutely keep up with my dental health and not just visit because I have a specific problem. The entire staff was very friendly. I am so relieved to have found a dentist who is actually willing to work with me without being condescending. Read Less

Sonya Moss5/12/2022Very friendly staff. High-tech dentistry. My crown was made in house using a high tech digital process.I felt very cared for, and all my questions were answered; a pain free experience.Oh, and the patient’s chairs have massage and heat!I would definitely recommend Taylor and Dr Manisesto

The entire team is incredibly friendly, genuinely accommodating, and radiates such a peaceful, calming energy. You can feel the warmth the moment you walk in—they greet you with real smiles and make you feel completely at ease.A special shoutout to Shelby, my dentist—though I must admit, I forgot her name (please forgive me!), but I do remember how beautiful and kind she was!, “She’s so stunning!” And let’s not forget Jessica M—she was such a standout! Incredibly knowledgeable and clearly passionate about her work, she made everything easy to understand and feel comfortable with.Honestly, everyone I encountered there was amazing. I walked out of the office not only with a brighter smile on my face but with my heart full, too. Huge thanks to the entire team—you all made my day! Read Less

Terry Weinstein4/16/2025My hygienist moved quickly and did a great job cleaning my teeth. I was hardly in any pain (sensitive teeth) leaving my very early morning appointment. Great start for New Year thank you Carolinas dentist!

Angie Furr11/02/2023Everyone was very nice! Front desk was extremely helpful with me as a new patient and the doctors were able to help find out what was wrong quickly and smoothly. Also, they have coffee which is A+

Read MoreWife & I flew from Providence RI to Raleigh NC last Saturday to visit my daughter. Late Saturday night felt discomfort in left eye tooth. Sunday morning a tooth ache. Monday morning knew I needed a dentist. Jumped on Google and first one up Carolinas Dentist Cary. Great reviews. Website was awesome and easy to navigate. Clicked on emergency filled out form and submitted. Called me 10 minutes later and got a 10:30 appointment. Amazing! Walked in and what a reception and place. All first class. Met with Sierra the Dental Assistant. So nice. Took an initial x-ray. Dr Lauren Steddum ordered a full x-ray. A few minutes later I meet Dr Steddum. I believe she is a managing partner of the practice. Whatever the case the word is WOW! She is a rockstar!! I had significant decay under a filling next to the nerve. She thoroughly and I mean thoroughly explained what she was going to do. Clean out the decay and do a root canal and put a crown on. I questioned if it would be a temporary crown until I get back to Rhode Island. Nope she had the staff and equipment to do the permanent crown. Takes roughly 45 minutes to make it once the tooth is prepped. I couldn't believe it was going to all get done in a few hours. While Dr Steddum was drilling away she was talking me though everything she was doing. Generally there's a level of anxiety with dentist. Despite all she was doing in my mouth I barely knew she was in it. Gentle is the word and I unbelievably felt relaxed. New experience for sure! I could not believe how I got taken care of starting with my first call at 8:00 AM. Dr Steddum is amazing and her staff incredible. Everything about this place screams "you'll get taken care of no matter the problem" As I said first class place!! When Dr. Steddum was finished she asked about sending the info to my dentist in Rhode Island. I told her to keep them because the records in Rhode Island may be coming her way. It's an hour and 15 minute flight to Raleigh and we're there often to visit my daughter and the company headquarters I work for is in New Bern NC. I'm there a lot. I will tell anyone that Dr Steddum and her practice is worth the trip. Thanks to Dr Steddum and Sierra for fixing my tooth. You saved my visit to my daughter! Read Less

She really listened when I told her I am typically difficult getting numb and have high sensitivity to cold. She got me numb on the first go and within a few minutes she was putting my filling in. Molli did a great job on my deep clean she made sure there was enough numbing gel on board to where I honestly couldn’t tell that it was different from a regular cleaning. Thanks so much for such a great job! Read Less
