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:

Betty Weeks3/29/2024Dr Gessell and Hygienist Lauren were welcoming, professional, expedient and thorough during every step of my experience today. They knew exactly what needed to be done and put their skills to work. A great team and even better, great people. I will continue business with them.

They have so much availability and the best hours with early mornings and late nights, which is perfect for busy schedules. I was able to book a last-minute appointment just two days before, and they got me in around 7:30 AM!When I first arrived, the lobby was cozy and spacious, and the front desk team was so friendly. Everyone seemed to genuinely enjoy working together; it felt like such a positive, team-oriented environment. I went on Halloween, and the whole office was dressed in a Shrek theme! It was hilarious and so much fun, and everyone fully committed to it, which made the visit even better.Lauren, who did my X-rays and got me set up, was so friendly and personable. She treated me like a real person, not just another patient, and made me feel comfortable right away. I didn’t have to wait long for Dr. K, who was exceptional. She’s incredibly welcoming, kind, and easy to talk to. It really felt like she cared about me and wasn’t just rushing through the appointment. I usually don't like going to the dentist, but she was just so nice and funny too! Had the best experience.I’m honestly considering switching to Carolinas Dentist permanently while I’m here for college because everyone was so genuine and professional. They take Delta Dental insurance, and my visit was fully covered. They also have great referrals if you need to see other specialists.Overall, it’s such a friendly, inviting, and hard-working team. You can tell they love what they do. My experience was fantastic from start to finish! Read Less

Read MoreDr. Chris Steddum and his assistant Rachel were the best team I could have asked to be in my side! I had to erupted molars and the pain had become unbearable and these guys got me in right away, they didn't judge me for my disability or having anxiety, the bed side manner was better than I could have imagined possible and Doc got both teeth out in less than 20 mins! Not only did this team get me out of pain and solve the underlying problems, they did so in a patient centered and compassionate way that, frankly, was the opposite of what I experienced approaching other dentists in this area first. They were professional, non-judgmental, compassionate, caring and did everything they could as caregivers to make me as comfortable as possible. I highly recommend them! Read Less

From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth and care. Melissa, the dental hygienist, performed the best cleaning I've ever had—her gentle touch made all the difference, turning what can often be a daunting experience into one that felt serene. And then there’s Dr. Lauren Steddum—her kindness radiates in every interaction. She took the time to explain everything in such a thoughtful way, ensuring I felt informed and at ease.

The office offers their own monthly dental plan that worked out very well for me, they saw me immediately for my scheduled appointment and everyone was so kind! The cleaning was the most gentle I’ve ever received from the hygienist. Highly recommend. I told my brother about this office immediately and he has already scheduled an appointment for himself!Also, they gave me a very detailed explanation that what I thought was a cavity is actually an old filling and they said my teeth are in great shape despite not having been seen for a little over a year. This was a huge relief and the detailed explanation really helped me feel better about something I’ve been worried about for a few months now! Read Less

Read MoreIt was my first time seeing the dentist in several years (due to no insurance unfortunately) and I finally decided that I was ready, willing and able to get my dental situation handled.Hands down, this has been the best dental experience I have ever received. I cannot remember the name of the woman who took my X-rays and the financial officer who assisted me in discussing the financial aspect but you two are included in this all well! Sydney, my Dental Hygienist was precise, educated and straight to the point. She was a pleasure!& Brooke, was an absolute BLAST! Absolutely hilarious member of the team and proficient when it comes to your teeth cleaning.I know there are people who have extreme anxiety when visiting any dental clinic but I have to say this was a great experience, I will recommend this dentistry to anyone in the future.Lastly, the pricing was anticipated to be the general $99 (no insurance) patient experience. I signed up for their in-house planning options which brought my entire total down to $28.00 today.Thank you for a great experience! Read Less

I've had multiple procedures and during all of them Dr. Mullen and his team went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and that the issue I was dealing with was resolved. Scheduling and billing is made easy by everyone up front, and they're always friendly and proficient. Also if you're like me and don't have dental insurance they offer a great membership program through very affordable monthly payments, it has saved me a lot of money. The quality of the dental work I've received since I've been a patient there has surpassed anything I've had anywhere else. The flat screen TV's with good movies playing during long procedures are a plus too. Read Less
