Picking the right dentist for yourself isn’t easy. Picking the right dentist for your whole family is even harder. You deserve high-quality dental care, and you certainly want the best service you can find for your spouse and your children. If you live near the Research Triangle, you’re in a good position. You can pick from one of four Sunrise Dental locations in Durham, Raleigh, Cary, and Chapel Hill. Call, contact us online, or stop by any of our offices to learn more about us and our approach to general and family dentistry.   You Deserve Comprehensive Care The foundation for oral health is preventive care. From your initial visit on, we want you and every member of your family to realize that our professional staff will provide you with complete dental care. This starts with routine cleanings and examinations. In addition to removing plaque and tartar buildup, we will polish your teeth and check for signs of a variety of dental problems: ▪︎ Tooth decay ▪︎ Gum disease ▪︎ Oral cancer ▪︎ Alignment issues If we see anything that gives us pause, we will let you know so you can begin your treatment as soon as possible. That’s just the beginning of what you will find at our offices, however. We offer a range of cosmetic services. We can make your teeth whiter. We can fix a gummy smile or reshape teeth that you wish looked a little different. We can make your teeth look straighter, too, with Invisalign® or a set of dental veneers. If you need restorative dental care, you can get that at Sunrise Dental, too. We offer dental crowns and bridges. We also offer dentures, including implant-supported dentures to give you the strongest and most secure replacement teeth.   Your Dentist Should Use The Latest Technology Dr. Dinah Vice describes herself as a technology “junkie.” She wants the nicest equipment because she knows that having state-of-the-art equipment allows our dentists to provide state-of-the-art treatment for our patients. A great example of this is our cone beam CT scanner. That may not mean much to you as your read it, but if you or someone you love ever needs a dental implant, you will appreciate it. The cone beam scanner allows our dentists to create a three-dimensional model of your jaw and teeth. This way they can precisely determine the best location to place a dental implant. You’ll also be glad we have scanners if you’ve ever had impressions made by hold a tray filled with that funny-tasting goop in your mouth. With technology, we can make digital impressions instead. One of the most recent technological additions we have made is the CEREC milling machine at our office in Raleigh. This machine allows us to craft a dental crown for a patient and place that crown on his or her tooth that same day.   You Should Be Comfortable Throughout Your Dental Visits Last, but not least, we want you and your family to feel at home from the moment you walk through the doors of any of our offices. You will be greeted by our friendly staff, and you will have your choice of refreshments while you wait. In the patient rooms, you’ll find televisions so you can watch one of your favorite shows during your visit. We can also provide you with comfort options to help you feel cozy while you are our guest. For patients who may feel anxious about coming to the dentist, we want to make dental care easier for you. For some, this can mean taking advantage of our longer appointment option. With a longer appointment, you can dictate the pace of your treatment. At any time, you can ask your dentist or hygienist to take a break. For any procedure that could cause any pain, we will provide local anesthetic so you don’t feel a thing. We also know some patients might prefer something stronger, so we offer two kinds of sedation dentistry. Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) both takes effect and wears off quickly. As long as you a breathing it in, you will benefit from how it keeps you calm and prevents you from feeling pain. Oral conscious sedation is stronger than nitrous oxide. Oral sedation involves taking medication that will leave you relaxed and pain-free throughout your treatment and probably for a few hours after. (You must arrange for someone else to drive if you elect to receive oral sedation.)   We Would Love To Meet You Our goal is for every patient to become a regular patient.
