Those in other neighboring (and in one case even closer) towns should also logically consider dentists in Raleigh, NC when choosing a new dentist.  For example, the heart of Garner, NC is only 7 miles away from our office. Morrisville, Knightdale and Apex are only 12-15 miles away, judging from what Google considers their official central location.

We hope that our comprehensive dentistry and sedation dentistry services are just two of the reasons that will make it more than worth the drive for you – perhaps options not readily available to you in your neighboring town. Make it a point when you visit our practice to check out the continually growing variety of restaurant, cultural and educational options nestled in downtown Raleigh, NC. The “Raleigh” that appears in our practice name (Raleigh Comprehensive and Cosmetic Dentistry) is strictly about our address – not about the addresses of the people we want to serve. We challenge ourselves daily to make it unquestionably worth the trip for every patient, including those who live other states.

Her criteria?

While she lived in her hometown, she went to the dentist her parents had chosen. That dentist happened to be a UNC School of Dentistry graduate, and also served as a part-time lecturer there. When she moved elsewhere, that dentist referred her to a dentist who practiced in her new location, but also lectured at UNC. He retired early, but sent her to a  young dentist who was a recent UNC School of Dentistry graduate and lecturer. So her dental provider selection criteria was finding a dentist who UNC had summoned back to teach and mentor future dentists.

How did you choose?

I met this person in a business operations context, and never realized I was being sized up as a “qualified” dental provider. I did think her question about whether I ever lectured at UNC was a little odd, but thought nothing of it at the time. Months later, she was knocking at my door to become her new Raleigh dentist. I never cease to be amazed at the criteria people use in choosing their dentists, other than just word of mouth. But I’m always interested in learning why new patients decide to come to RCCD, and how they heard about us.
