At Connection Dentistry, our advantage is not a single piece of technology or a one-size-fits-all promise. It’s the way everything works together—how we listen, how we plan, how we treat, and how we care for people as individuals. We believe exceptional dentistry is built on trust, communication, and precision, and that philosophy guides every patient experience in our practice.
From your first visit to long-term maintenance, our goal is to provide dental care that feels personal, thoughtful, and genuinely supportive. We focus on building lasting relationships while delivering high-level clinical care designed for comfort, longevity, and confidence.
A Practice Built on Connection
Our name reflects our philosophy. Dentistry works best when there is real connection between patient and provider. We take the time to understand who you are, not just what your X-rays show. That means listening to your concerns, learning your goals, and respecting your comfort level.
Rather than rushing through appointments, we create space for conversation and education. Patients consistently tell us they feel heard, respected, and involved in their care decisions. This collaborative approach allows us to design treatment plans that align with your needs, lifestyle, and long-term health.
Personalized Care, Not Cookie-Cutter Dentistry
No two smiles are the same, and no two treatment plans should be either. One of our greatest advantages is our commitment to individualized care. Every patient receives a comprehensive evaluation and a customized plan that reflects their oral health, aesthetic preferences, and priorities.
We clearly explain:
- What we see and why it matters
- All available treatment options
- The benefits and considerations of each choice
- What to expect before, during, and after treatment
You are never pressured into unnecessary procedures. Our role is to guide, educate, and support you so you can make confident decisions about your dental health.
Advanced Technology With a Human Touch
Connection Dentistry uses modern dental technology to improve accuracy, comfort, and outcomes. Digital imaging, advanced diagnostics, and precise planning tools allow us to detect issues earlier and deliver more predictable results.
However, technology is never used for its own sake. It supports our clinical judgment and enhances patient comfort, but it never replaces personal care. Every tool we use serves a purpose: better communication, greater precision, and improved long-term results.
This balanced approach ensures you receive modern dentistry without losing the warmth and trust of a truly patient-centered practice.
Comprehensive Care in One Trusted Practice
Connection Dentistry offers comprehensive dental care under one roof, allowing for continuity and clarity throughout your treatment. Preventive, restorative, cosmetic, orthodontic, and periodontal services are coordinated by a team that knows your history and understands your goals.
This integrated approach means:
- Better communication between treatments
- More consistent results
- Fewer surprises or fragmented care
- A long-term strategy for oral health
You don’t have to manage multiple providers or repeat your story. Your care is cohesive, efficient, and thoughtfully planned.
Comfort-Focused, Anxiety-Aware Dentistry
We understand that dental anxiety is real and common. Many patients come to us with past experiences that make them nervous or hesitant. One of our key advantages is how intentionally we address comfort—both physically and emotionally.
Our environment is designed to feel calm, welcoming, and non-clinical. We move at a pace that respects your comfort level, explain procedures clearly, and check in throughout your visit. Small details, from gentle techniques to a supportive team presence, make a meaningful difference in how patients feel during care.
Our goal is not just to complete treatment, but to change how you experience dentistry.
A Team That Truly Cares
Our advantage is also our people. Every member of our team is committed not only to clinical excellence, but to kindness, professionalism, and respect. We believe how care is delivered matters just as much as the outcome.
Patients often describe our team as approachable, attentive, and genuinely invested in their well-being. We take pride in creating a positive atmosphere where patients feel comfortable asking questions and confident in their care.
Focused on Long-Term Health and Stability
We don’t believe in quick fixes that lead to bigger problems later. Our recommendations prioritize long-term oral health, function, and stability. That means conservative treatment when possible, proactive maintenance, and solutions designed to last.
By focusing on prevention and early intervention, we help patients avoid more complex and costly treatments in the future. Our advantage lies in thinking ahead, not just addressing what’s visible today.
A Better Dental Experience, Start to Finish
From scheduling to follow-up care, we strive to make every interaction smooth and stress-free. Clear communication, organized care, and attention to detail ensure you always know what to expect.
At Connection Dentistry, our advantage is the experience as a whole—dentistry that feels personal, intentional, and built around you.
When you choose Connection Dentistry, you’re choosing more than a dental office. You’re choosing a team that values connection, precision, and care, and is committed to helping you maintain a healthy, confident smile for years to come.
What Our Patients Are Saying
Nathan
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!

Dr. Rensch and his team are absolutely phenomenal. They are so friendly and enjoyable to work with. It is so convenient to have a Dentist office that also specializes in oral surgery, all in one place! The best in town!

All the staff is super accommodating and reassuring every step in the process from X-rays, cleaning, treatment plans and scheduling! So grateful I stumbled on other recommendations from patients that led me to my first appointment! Never been so excited to move forward with my future appointments!
