Cosmetic Services in Knightdale
Our Knightdale office provides the complete cosmetic treatment menu available at every Stansell Dentistry Associates location. Each service targets a different set of concerns and can be used individually or layered into a coordinated smile makeover.
Porcelain Veneers address multiple cosmetic issues simultaneously — chips, gaps, permanent staining, worn edges, and minor crowding — by bonding custom-crafted ceramic shells to the front surfaces of your teeth. The result is a natural-looking, durable improvement that typically lasts a decade or longer. Our dental veneers page explains the full process and what to expect.
Zoom® Professional Teeth Whitening brightens your smile by several shades in a single office visit using a professional-strength, light-activated peroxide gel. The treatment removes deep stains that brushing and over-the-counter strips cannot reach, with immediate, visible results. Learn more on our Zoom® teeth whitening page.
Dental Bonding is a conservative, affordable option for repairing small chips, closing narrow gaps, and smoothing irregular tooth edges. Your dentist applies tooth-colored composite resin directly to the tooth, sculpts it to the desired shape, and hardens it with a curing light — typically in a single visit without anesthesia. Visit our dental bonding page for additional details.
Invisalign® Clear Aligners correct crowding, spacing, and bite irregularities using a series of custom-fabricated removable trays that are virtually invisible during wear. There are no metal brackets or wires, and treatment fits seamlessly into daily life. Our Invisalign page covers candidacy, expected timelines, and how the system works.
Patients who want to address more than one concern often benefit from a smile makeover — a sequenced plan that combines two or more treatments in the right order for a cohesive, balanced outcome.
Your Knightdale Cosmetic Team
Achieving natural-looking cosmetic results requires more than clinical proficiency. It takes an eye for shade matching, tooth proportions, and how a restoration interacts with the surrounding smile under different lighting. The dental professionals at our Knightdale office bring that combination of technical precision and aesthetic awareness to every cosmetic case.
Advanced technology supports the process from start to finish. Digital x-rays and high-resolution intraoral cameras provide a magnified, detailed view of each tooth before any cosmetic work begins, ensuring that treatment planning is based on complete information. Our iTero® scanner captures digital impressions quickly and comfortably, replacing the mess and discomfort of traditional putty trays. When a porcelain restoration is part of the plan, our CEREC® CAD/CAM system can design and fabricate it chairside during the same appointment — reducing wait times and delivering consistently precise results.
What to Expect During Your Cosmetic Visit
 Your cosmetic journey at our Knightdale office starts with a focused consultation. Your dentist examines your teeth, captures digital images, and discusses the changes you want to see. If more than one treatment path can accomplish your goal, you receive a clear comparison of each option’s expected results, timeline, durability, and cost. The aim is to give you enough information to make a confident, unhurried decision.
Treatment moves forward at a pace that works for your schedule. Bonding and whitening are typically completed in a single appointment. Veneers may involve two visits when a ceramics lab fabricates the final restoration, or one visit when the CEREC system mills it on-site. Invisalign treatment begins with a digital scan and progresses through a series of aligner trays over several months, with periodic check-ins to track tooth movement.
After any cosmetic procedure, your dentist evaluates the finished result against your bite and under multiple lighting conditions, making fine adjustments until every detail meets the plan. Aftercare guidance is tailored to the treatment you received. Maintaining consistent oral hygiene and keeping up with routine dental cleanings and exams protects your investment and keeps cosmetic restorations looking their best over time.
Why Knightdale Patients Choose Us
Our Knightdale office provides a convenient option for patients in Knightdale, Garner, Clayton, Wendell, Zebulon, and surrounding communities who want quality cosmetic dentistry without driving into central Raleigh. Consistent weekday availability — Monday through Wednesday until 5:30pm, Thursday until 4:30pm, and Friday until 2:00pm — accommodates working adults and families who need dependable scheduling.
Patient comfort shapes every visit. A coffee and beverage bar, in-chair entertainment, blankets, and warm towels are standard amenities at our Knightdale office. Sedation options are available for patients who experience dental anxiety, ensuring that even more involved cosmetic procedures remain calm and manageable. On the clinical side, our iTero digital scanner eliminates traditional putty impressions, and our soft tissue laser minimizes bleeding and speeds healing for any procedure that involves gum tissue.
Our Knightdale location is also the only Stansell Dentistry Associates office that accepts Medicaid, expanding access to dental care for patients who depend on this coverage. We also maintain offices in Brier Creek and North Raleigh for patients who prefer to schedule follow-up visits closer to work or home. All three offices share the same technology, protocols, and patient records.
Cosmetic Dentistry Cost & Insurance in Knightdale
Cosmetic treatment costs depend on the procedure selected, the number of teeth involved, and the materials used. Professional whitening and bonding are among the most affordable cosmetic options, while porcelain veneers and multi-treatment smile makeovers reflect a larger investment in time and materials. Your dentist provides a detailed estimate before any work begins so you can plan with confidence.
Insurance coverage for cosmetic procedures varies by plan. Treatments that serve both aesthetic and functional purposes — such as a crown that restores a damaged tooth while improving its appearance — are more likely to receive partial coverage. Purely cosmetic treatments like whitening are typically not covered. Our team verifies your benefits in advance and helps you understand what to expect. We accept MetLife, BCBS, Delta Dental, Ameritas, United Concordia, Aetna, United Healthcare, Cigna, and Medicaid at this location. We also file claims for carriers not on this list as a courtesy. Visit our insurance and financing page for the full details.
For out-of-pocket costs, Sunbit pay-over-time financing and CareCredit make it possible to divide the investment into monthly payments. Our in-house membership plans provide another option for uninsured patients — covering preventive care, exams, and discounts on additional services with no maximums, deductibles, or waiting periods. Call (984) 733-0330 to discuss your cosmetic goals and receive a personalized estimate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Knightdale office accept Medicaid for cosmetic procedures?
Our Knightdale office is the only Stansell Dentistry location that accepts Medicaid. However, Medicaid coverage for cosmetic procedures is limited. Most cosmetic treatments are considered elective and are not typically covered under Medicaid plans. Our team verifies your benefits before treatment and discusses all available payment options, including financing through Sunbit and CareCredit, so you can make an informed decision.
How long does dental bonding last?
Composite bonding typically lasts five to seven years before it may need touch-up or replacement. Longevity depends on the location of the bonding, your bite habits, and how well you care for the treated tooth. Avoiding hard foods, not using your teeth as tools, and maintaining consistent brushing and flossing all help bonding material hold up over time. Your dentist monitors the condition of bonded teeth at each routine checkup.
Can cosmetic dentistry fix gaps between my teeth?
Yes, and more than one approach can work depending on the size and location of the gap. Porcelain veneers close gaps by covering the front surface of the adjacent teeth with slightly wider ceramic shells. Dental bonding fills smaller gaps by adding composite resin to the tooth edges. Invisalign gradually moves the teeth together over time to close the space naturally. Your dentist recommends the best approach based on the specifics of your case.
Is cosmetic dental work painful?
Most cosmetic procedures cause little to no discomfort. Bonding is typically painless and rarely requires anesthesia. Teeth whitening may cause brief sensitivity that fades within a day or two. Veneer preparation involves removing a thin layer of enamel under local anesthesia, so you stay comfortable throughout. For patients who experience anxiety about dental work, our team offers sedation options that keep the entire visit relaxed and manageable.
What are the Knightdale office hours?
Our Knightdale office is open Monday through Wednesday from 8:30am to 5:30pm, Thursday from 8:30am to 4:30pm, and Friday from 8:00am to 2:00pm. Cosmetic procedures that require extended chair time, such as CEREC same-day veneers, may need to be scheduled during specific blocks. Call our office to find a time that works for your appointment needs.
