Our Modern Dental Technology
Our Leading-Edge Technology Is the Finest in NC
State-of-the-Art Dental Office
We use a suite of leading-edge dental tools and technologies at CarolinasDentist to provide the dentistry of tomorrow, today. Your best experience is our top priority, and our state-of-the-art technology allows us to enhance your comfort, keep you safe and in great health, and maximize your time with us. Your smile will say it all!

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!

Best dentist I've ever been to. I don't normally like going to the dentist but everyone was so friendly and the atmosphere was relaxing. I really enjoyed the music too. Definitely recommend!!

Read MoreI recently had an experience at Carolina Dentist with Dr. McDaniel's dental practice that was exceptional, particularly during an unexpected dental emergency. I had a sudden issue that caused quite a bit of discomfort, and I reached out to her office hoping for a quick resolution.Dr. McDaniel, who is an amazing dentist, swiftly accommodated my emergency and demonstrated incredible professionalism. Her calm and reassuring demeanor immediately put me at ease. She efficiently diagnosed the problem and explained the necessary steps in a way that I could easily understand. Her ability to manage the situation with such grace truly highlighted her expertise and dedication to patient care.During this visit, Lia, the dental hygienist, was equally supportive. She provided invaluable assistance and ensured I was comfortable throughout the procedure. Her gentle approach and kind words helped ease my anxiety.The front desk girls are the best… they also played a crucial role by quickly setting up my appointment and managing all the details seamlessly, which was a relief amidst the urgency. They even got me in the night before my appointment just to give me some medicine to take away the pain so I could get some sleep before my procedure.Overall, the entire team worked together seamlessly to handle the situation with professionalism and empathy, making me feel incredibly well-cared-for. If you ever find yourself needing dental care, I highly recommend Dr. McDaniel and her fantastic team for their outstanding service and compassionate approach. They are ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. I found my forever dentist for myself and my family of 5. Thank you to each and everyone of you. Read Less

I’m Carter. I’m new to Chapel Hill, NC. Just moved here 2 months ago. With living here I needed to transition into my new primary care doctor and dentist, and I will say by far CarolinasDentist have been great. From the moment I walked in the door I was greeted with warm and compassionate hospitality. The dentist was straight forward and thorough with going through my examination. I will say that everyone, dentist included was great and I found a new home for all my dental needs. I highly recommend CarolinaDentist in Chapel Hill, NC. I literally waited 6 minutes before going into the back to get my first appointment examination. What topped it off was the dentist himself told me everything I needed to get done. For health and wellness purposes. He wasn’t like most Dentist where that sit there and do the least amount of work to just getting you by. My experience with CarolinaDentist today Oct 09, 2025 was excellent! Thank you CarolinaDentist. Looking forward to my next visit. That’s another thing. They got my first appointment within a week’s notice!Sincerely,Richard CarterChapel Hill, NC / Strasburg, Virginia Read Less

Read MoreI had an appointment at 5:30pm and I got Hygienist Kimberly Brooks, I should have known she was going to be amazing from our introduction she saw a little boy trying to get the fridge open and asked him if he needed help. She took me back for a deep cleaning and all I can say is Amazing. She started without numbing me no shot or nothing. She then proceeded to clean my teeth, when I say it was the most comfortable experience ( and who can say that coming to the dentist) she took care of me and gave me some pointers. It very rare that you find someone who cares. That was the best experience and out of there in less than 30 minutes. In my 36 years that was the best cleaning I have had at a dentist office. I will request you ever time if possible Read Less

Regina David5/05/2023Dr 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.
