Restorative Services at Our Knightdale Office
Our Knightdale location handles every stage of restorative treatment in-house, so your care moves forward without delays or outside referrals. Tooth-colored composite fillings address cavities of all sizes while blending invisibly with the surrounding enamel. When a tooth has lost too much structure for a filling to be effective, a custom dental crown reinforces what remains and restores its original shape and bite surface.
For patients who are missing one or more teeth, our team offers dental bridges that span the gap using adjacent teeth as support, as well as implant-based restorations that replace the root and crown independently of neighboring teeth. Inlays and onlays provide a conservative alternative for moderate damage — repairing the compromised area with precision-milled porcelain while leaving healthy tooth structure intact.
Many of these restorations can be completed in a single visit thanks to our CEREC® same-day crown technology. The system captures a digital scan of the prepared tooth, designs the restoration on screen, and mills it from a solid porcelain block while you wait — eliminating the temporary crown and the follow-up appointment that traditional lab-fabricated crowns require.
Your Knightdale Dental Team
The dental professionals at our Knightdale office approach restorative care with a commitment to preserving natural tooth structure whenever possible. Our team evaluates every case individually, weighing the extent of damage, the tooth’s location, your bite dynamics, and your long-term dental history before recommending a specific treatment.
That clinical judgment is reinforced by modern diagnostic and fabrication tools. Digital x-rays deliver detailed images of teeth, roots, and surrounding bone in seconds, using far less radiation than conventional film. Intraoral cameras project close-up views of the treatment area onto a chairside monitor so you can see the problem alongside your dentist and understand the rationale behind each recommendation. When a crown or onlay is needed, our CEREC milling unit converts a digital impression into a finished porcelain restoration during the same appointment — a workflow that saves time and produces consistently precise results.
What to Expect During Treatment
Restorative visits at our Knightdale office are designed to be straightforward and predictable. Your appointment opens with a focused examination of the affected area, including digital x-rays and intraoral imaging as needed. Your dentist reviews the results with you in real time, explains the diagnosis, and discusses each available treatment option along with its expected timeline and cost.
After you approve a plan, the treatment area is numbed with local anesthesia so you remain comfortable throughout the procedure. For a filling, your dentist removes the decayed material and shapes the cavity to receive the composite. For a crown, the tooth is carefully reduced to accept the restoration. If the CEREC system is being used, a digital scan captures the prepared tooth and the surrounding bite, and the crown is designed, milled, and bonded in the same sitting.
Your dentist checks the final restoration against your bite, adjusts as needed, and polishes every surface for a smooth, natural feel. Detailed aftercare instructions are provided before you leave, and a follow-up appointment is scheduled when clinically appropriate. Staying current with routine dental cleanings and exams is the best way to protect your restoration and catch any new concerns early.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Knightdale office accept Medicaid for restorative work?
Yes. Our Knightdale location is the only Stansell Dentistry office that accepts Medicaid. Coverage for restorative procedures under Medicaid depends on your specific plan and the treatment required. Our team verifies your benefits before treatment begins and walks you through any estimated out-of-pocket costs so you can plan accordingly.
How quickly can I get a dental crown at this office?
In many cases, the same day you walk in. Our Knightdale office is equipped with CEREC technology, which designs and mills a porcelain crown during a single appointment. The entire process — from digital scan to final placement — typically takes about two hours, so you leave with a permanent restoration without needing a temporary crown or a return visit.
What should I do if a filling or crown falls out?
Contact our office as soon as possible to schedule an evaluation. In the meantime, avoid chewing on the affected side, keep the area clean, and save the restoration if you still have it. A lost filling or crown leaves the underlying tooth exposed to bacteria and biting forces, so prompt attention reduces the risk of further damage or infection.
Are restorative dental materials safe?
Yes. The composite resins and porcelain ceramics used in modern restorative dentistry are biocompatible and thoroughly tested for safety. Tooth-colored composites have largely replaced traditional amalgam fillings, and porcelain crowns and inlays are metal-free. If you have concerns about specific materials, our team is happy to discuss the composition and safety profile of every option before treatment begins.
What are the Knightdale office hours for restorative appointments?
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. Longer restorative procedures such as CEREC crowns or multi-tooth treatments may require specific scheduling blocks, so we recommend calling ahead to secure a time that accommodates the full appointment.
