What if I Do Nothing?

Unfortunately, even minor cavities and dental damage can turn into major issues if left untreated. Because the teeth can’t actually heal themselves, decay inevitably spreads, and weakened enamel usually breaks. It’s always smart to have a tooth repaired quickly rather than wait for something to get worse. This approach isn’t just better for your oral health, but your wallet as well, as it enables us to use more conservative and affordable care.

Ignoring dental damage doesn’t make it disappear; it makes it harder to fix. Cavities deepen, cracks spread, and discomfort increases as the tooth weakens. Choosing timely restorative dentistry in Raleigh ensures your tooth remains strong, functional, and free from painful complications down the road.

Dental Crowns

Dental crowns are custom-designed to look and function just like real teeth. Made of metal or dental porcelain, they enable our team to repair large cavities, prevent a weakened tooth from breaking, fix large chips and cracks, and they can even help improve the appearance of a cosmetically imperfect tooth. Also called “caps,” they work by simply fitting over a tooth to protect the remaining natural structure while also restoring its original strength.

Tooth-Colored Fillings

Tooth-colored fillings are similar to traditional silver ones in that they can be used to quickly repair a minor cavity in a single appointment, but there is one main difference: they are made of composite resin as opposed to amalgam. This plastic-based material can be shaded to match any patient’s enamel color so that the final restoration blends seamlessly into the smile. With one, a patient will enjoy a repaired tooth and won’t have to worry about people noticing their dental work.

Experience the benefits of restorative dentistry in Raleigh with tooth-colored fillings that combine strength and style. Designed to match your tooth’s shade, they restore your smile without the metallic look of traditional fillings. Keep your teeth healthy and your confidence high with this discreet, lasting solution.

I've been coming to this practice for years now since moving to the Raleigh area. The office is always clean and organized and the staff have always been friendly and communicative. Also, the TV's mounted to the ceiling are a nice touch! I've been seeing Dr. Laster for several years before our insurance changed causing me to change to Dr. Rensch. Both are so easy to talk to and always made me feel at ease.

From beginning to end 5/5! I thought I was experiencing a dental 911. I submitted an inquiry at 11:30pm and by 8am the next morning, Deidra (front office staff) was already leaving me a message. She was so sweet and patient at 8am lol. After our initial conversation, I informed all follow up dentists “I found my dentist office” but thank you so much! Today I was welcomed with the same energy from Diedre to Britany then finally Dr.Wrench. The music playing throughout the office was fantastic; ie music selection and volume. The TV’s on the ceiling and wall made my procedure so painless and enjoyable! I watched an entire Christmas movie lol! Dr. Wrench (apologies for spelling) made my teeth absolutely perfect! I left telling my friends and family I have a million dollar smile! 😊 I can tell he wanted them perfect and he did! Thank you all so much for being amazing! Sincerely, Your next patient.

Dr. Laster and Dr. Rensch go above and beyond for their patients. I have seen both for various treatments and I always feel comfortable and heard. They take time to listen and to talk with you. They explain your options and work with you to develop the best plan for your care. They are always upbeat and positive and you can tell they truly love what they do. The front desk staff is exceptional as well. Deidre is so caring and very sweet. She’s efficient, understanding and conscientious of your time. I highly recommend.

Connections Dentistry was great! The staff is so friendly and truly cares about their patients. My appointment was quick, and honestly the best dental experience I’ve had. They are great about offering helpful solutions without making you feel like you are being reprimanded… which was the reason I was putting off the dentist. 100% recommend!
