Three UNC-trained doctors. Fifteen years of artistry. One focus: creating smiles so stunning they change the way you see yourself.
We didn't build a dental office. We built a destination — a place where cutting-edge technology meets an artist's eye, where every detail of your smile is considered, crafted, and perfected.
Renaissance Dental Center was founded on a simple belief: you deserve to feel extraordinary every time you smile. Our three doctors combine decades of advanced training with an obsessive attention to aesthetics that our patients call transformative.
Our signature offering. A fully customized plan mapping every detail of your transformation — from facial proportions to tooth contours — before we ever touch a handpiece.
Hand-crafted porcelain shells bonded over your existing teeth. Corrects color, shape, spacing, and alignment in as few as two appointments.
Professional-grade whitening up to eight shades brighter in a single visit. In-office precision or supervised take-home systems for your schedule.
Digital scanning, design, and on-site milling. One appointment. No temporaries. Walk out with a flawless porcelain crown the same day.
Minimally invasive composite artistry to close gaps, reshape edges, and restore worn teeth. Maximum result, conservative approach.
A comprehensive rebuild for patients ready to transform everything. Multiple disciplines, one cohesive plan, a completely new smile.
Clear aligner therapy to straighten teeth discreetly. Often the critical first step — creating the perfect canvas before cosmetic work begins.
Permanent tooth replacement that looks, feels, and functions naturally. Including Teeth-in-a-Day for immediate full-arch restoration.
Inspired by a life-changing smile makeover she witnessed as a student, Dr. Abernethy has devoted her career to the art of cosmetic transformation. Her meticulous eye for detail and warm chairside manner make complex cases feel effortless.
Co-founder of Renaissance Dental Center, Dr. Wells graduated with the highest honors and brings an artist's sensibility to every case. Her childhood fascination with transformative dentistry became a lifelong mission to change lives through beautiful smiles.
A Raleigh native and Fellowship recipient of the International Dental Implant Association, Dr. Sonner brings surgical precision to implant placement and advanced restorative cases. She has traveled internationally to provide dental care to underserved communities.
Your first visit isn't an appointment. It's a conversation between you and an artist about the smile you've always wanted.
What do you see when you look in the mirror? What do you wish you saw? Bring photos of smiles you love. We want to understand your vision before we ever pick up an instrument.
Digital imaging, precision x-rays, and decades of artistic expertise come together. We'll map every contour, every proportion, every detail — and show you the possibilities before anything begins.
With your custom plan approved, we bring it to life. Many transformations complete in just one or two visits. The moment you see your new smile for the first time? That's why we do this.
Your transformation starts with a single conversation. Whether you know exactly what you want or you're just exploring possibilities, we'd love to meet you.
