Stansell Dentistry Associates has three locations, one in the Brier Creek area of Raleigh, NC, the second in North Raleigh off of Falls of Neuse Road, and the third in Knightdale, NC. One of the many fantastic things about being a dentist is serving the community and seeing patients from all across the triangle.
We are glad you stopped by for a visit. Take some time to browse our website and let us know how we can assist with your oral healthcare and make your dream smile a reality. We are dedicated to providing the best dental services in Raleigh and the surrounding areas and offer the following patient amenities:
Dr. Dani Stansell was born in Hollywood, FL, and relocated to Raleigh, NC in 2003. She holds a B.S. in Microbiology and Biotechnology from Florida Atlantic University and received her dental degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Dental School. While in dental school Dr. Stansell was involved in many community activities, spent a summer doing dentistry in a Mexican orphanage, and was the president of AAWD.
Dr. Lucia Yu is a North Carolina native, who grew up in Chapel Hill. From a young age, she was interested in dentistry, and began volunteering and working at various clinics throughout North Carolina. Eventually, she went to UNC Chapel Hill and graduated with a B.S. in Biology and Psychology, minoring in Chemistry. Following her time in Chapel Hill, she decided to experience the city, and moved to Boston. There she obtained her MS in Oral Health Sciences, and her DMD from Boston University. Dr. Yu has since returned to her NC home, and now lives in Raleigh, NC. In her free time, Dr. Yu enjoys spending time with her friends and family, enjoying the outdoors, and cheering for the Tar Heels.
I was born in Fresno, CA, and hold a B.S. in psychobiology and a Minor in Spanish from UCLA. During college I had an interest in neuroscience and worked in a lab studying traumatic brain injury. However, I found that dentistry offered a unique balance of science, craftsmanship, and compassionate patient care that drew me to the field. I received my dental degree from Oregon Health and Science University in Portland, OR. I have enjoyed serving my community as a dentist - I worked for four years at a public health clinic in East Los Angeles. I also participated in a two-week mission trip to the Philippines where our group offered preventive care and extractions in various rural towns. I enjoy all aspects of dentistry and Im continuously learning and developing new skills. My wife and I have a young daughter and two cats. In my free time I enjoy the outdoors: snowboarding, golfing, surfing, and hiking. We also enjoy traveling and finding great places to eat.
Dr. Mika Robinson grew up in Okinawa, Japan and relocated to Kenly, North Carolina at the age of 14. I graduated from UNC-Greensboro with a degree in Human Development and Family Studies and attended ECU School of Dental Medicine right after. While in dental school, I was the treasurer for the Hispanic Student Dental Association and American Association of Public Health Dentistry. I enjoyed serving the local community and educating my patients on oral health management. During my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family members and cooking Japanese food.
After getting your first mold, we will schedule checkups with you every six to eight weeks to check the progress of your teeth alignment journey. You will also be refitted for new aligners each visit, which will help to align your teeth with time. You should begin seeing results within only a few weeks of wearing your first plastic aligner. Since Invisalign are clear, they are virtually invisible to the naked eye, giving you peace of mind knowing you can still smile the way you want to in public. You can also remove your Invisalign while eating or brushing your teeth, which is unique to Invisalign. Invisalign is also for adults - not just for teenagers who want to straighten their teeth and restore their smiles.

Dentist was good but billing department not so much. I've been asking for a detailed billing statement which should include payment from me and insurance company. What was sent was not what I was given. Next step is to have a conversation with the owner. I did received a response from owner but in fact it was a response from office manager. As posted from her on reviews I will be looking for a new dentist. I was asked to take down this post by the office manager. As you can see I will not be doing that.

this was my first time here. i have pretty severe dental anxiety, and both my hygienist and dentist were understanding and patient with me. they only did what was necessary and made sure i wasn't embarrassed. i think i'll always be scared to go, but it was very comforting. also uninsured right now, and my first visit + cleaning were cheap!

I recently started a new job with new insurance that my preferred dentist wouldn't accept so I unfortunately had to change practices. For reference I visited the Brier Creek location. The best way to describe my experience was I felt like I am walking into a business focused on seeing as many patients as possible rather than focusing on the quality of care. I explain why below: I saw this place had a lot of good reviews and it was recommended by my insurance. I have a lot of anxiety and trauma around going to the dentist, so I was really stressed about going somewhere I hadn't been before. Nothing about this place reduced that stress and anxiety. The cleaning rooms are more like stalls. They have full walls on the side but the side of the faces the hallway is totally open. I could not only hear everyone walking by (patients and staff) but I could hear what was happening in all the other rooms as well. That on top of the sound of my own dental cleaning was extremely overwhelming and was difficult to not have a panic attack. The noise also made it difficult to hear my soft-spoken hygienist. My mouth is extremely sensitive, and that sensitivity is only made worse by stress. During the cleaning the hygienist did a standard procedure measuring my gums, however, it was unusually painful. She asked if I had ever had this pain before during this and I said no that I had never experienced this kind of pain with my gums. As I continued to experience discomfort during the cleaning the hygienist began to push for doing something she called a "deep cleaning", where they numb your mouth and clean below the gum line. Thinking about having to have my mouth numbed only made me more stressed and panicked. I ended up forcing myself to not react to any uncomfortable sensations to avoid having one of these "deep cleans" forced on me. Despite my obvious distress, the hygienist continued. I know I should spoke up about my anxiety around dental work, but I felt uncomfortable bringing it up and was never given the space do so. Halfway through the standard cleaning the dentist abruptly showed up. He must have been in a hurry as he didn't even bother to introduce himself or speak to me. I also found it incredibly rude that he showed up in the middle of the cleaning and literally shooed the hygienist out of her chair so he could sit down. He then proceeded to do the exam while I still had the polishing gunk all over my teeth. He maybe spent a total of 5 minutes looking at my mouth and the x-rays before determining I had a cavity in lower molar. However, when my trusted dentist had determined I had several suspicious spots on my top molars, not on the bottom. When I told him what my previous dentist had said he merely brushed it off saying he didn't see anything at all. At no point was I ever asked if he could see my previous x-ray/chart from my previous dentist nor did he ever offer to show me the x-rays they took that day and point out what he saw. By not even bothering to show me the x-rays of my own mouth it felt like he was withholding information from me about my own mouth. Even though they recommended a filling, I don't think I could bring myself to return here for any future care after having such a stressful experience. I can't even begin to imagine going through the stress of having a cavity fixed while in one those stall with a dentist rushing to get to the next patient rather than focusing on the quality of the job. One thing I noticed after my visit that I think should be a red flag for any medical practice is that there are no pictures or bios of any of the dentist on the website. The lack of transparency as to who treated me and what his credentials are is bothersome. For all I know, this dentist was fresh out of dental school, pushing procedures that he should be consulting a more senior dentist before recommending. Their website also gloats about several services such as in chair entertainment, blankets, and warm towels, things offered to hopefully reduce stress, none of which I was offered.

I usually only write positive reviews but this place has no grace The two stars are for my very first visit at this practice (Brier Creek location) that went well. Because my experience went well, I planned to return in 6 months. The day for my next appointment comes and all was well until a series of events began to delay my route to the office. I called ahead as a courtesy to notify the office staff I was running about 10 minutes late. I was not aware of the office location change prior to my appointment and ended up being two minutes past the grace period and was told I had to reschedule. I understand how tardiness can impact the schedule for the rest of the day, so I was okay with rescheduling. In addition to rescheduling, I was hit with a $50 fee for being late to my appointment. I can understand a penalty of this kind for recurring missed appointments, but this was the first (and last) time I have been late to an appointment. If you are not willing to run red lights, plow down pedestrians, or lead police on a chase to avoid the late fee, then you should look for another practice.

The last review that I posted about 2 weeks was an unfavorable review. After posting my dissatisfaction, Lauren, from the Office, contacted me and offered a free 30 minute service with Dr. Stansell. Also, I received a free gift from them as well. This truly more than made up for the last experience that I had with them and as a result I will continue to see them.

The office is warm and inviting with a professional and friendly staff. My teeth are in relatively good shape but I had not been to a dentist in many years. The team made me comfortable and developed a plan to take care of issues I have and what I needed to do to keep my teeth as I advance in age. Turns out I had early stages of potential issues and needed an intensive cleaning and to ramp up my flossing efforts. They did a great job performing a deep clean. I would highly recommend this dentist office.
