About Us
Welcome to Research Triangle Dental!
At Research Triangle Dental, our number one goal is to provide the people of Durham, North Carolina with comprehensive, affordable dental care. Our team of technicians, hygienists, and dentists will work with you to develop a treatment plan that is custom-tailored to your unique needs. We utilize state-of-the-art technology such as the iTero Digital Scanner to view your entire dental profile in unprecedented detail so we can analyze and diagnose with extraordinary accuracy. At Research Triangle Dental we are committed to offering the people of Durham dental services that are effective, convenient, and affordable.
The Dental Services We Provide
In addition to addressing immediate problems such as a broken tooth, painful cavity, or a faded smile, at Research Triangle Dental we are eager to help you with the kind of preventative care that will maintain your oral health and take care of minor issues before they develop into major problems. We believe this is the most effective way to achieve a bright, healthy smile while saving you time and money.
Call Research Triangle Dental today at 919-596-7447 if you are interested in:
- Teeth whitening treatments – Depending on your personal preferences and schedule, we offer a variety of teeth whitening methods that may be administered here at Research Triangle Dental or in the convenience of your home.
- Dental procedures to fix damage to your teeth such as cavities, decay, or root canals.
- Dental restoration including crowns, bridges, or dentures to repair damaged or missing teeth.
- Correcting crowded or misaligned teeth with traditional braces or alternative methods such as Invisalign® clear aligners. Invisalign treatment utilizes clear teeth aligners that are less noticeable than metal braces. They are also removable, making them an excellent choice for those who prefer versatility.
- Emergency services to deal with damage from physical trauma, an aggravated abscess, or the pain of advanced decay.
Innovative Dental Care Technology
Here at Research Triangle Dental, we perform your dental services with state-of-the-art technology, such as the iTero Element scanner. The iTero Element produces extremely high-resolution, 3D images of your entire dental structure without the discomfort and time-consuming process of taking traditional x-ray photos and using dental impression putty (the dreaded "goo") to make a physical model. The iTero scanning process is painless, non-invasive, and completed in a matter of seconds. The Research Triangle Dental dental team is then able to show you a 3D virtual model of your entire dental structure in its current condition as well as a side-by-side comparison with a simulation of your teeth's ideal spacing and alignment. The iTero Element allows your hygienists and dentist to provide your dental care with greater accuracy and efficiency while reducing the amount of time you spend at our office.
