On Ed Drive in Raleigh, Russo Dentistry offers a well-rounded approach to dental care designed to meet patients wherever they are in their oral health journey. The practice centers on general dentistry, providing the cleanings, exams, fillings, and preventive care that form the foundation of a healthy mouth. For Raleigh residents looking for a steady, reliable dental home, the office gives them a place to keep up with routine visits and catch issues before they escalate. For patients who want to enhance the look of their smile, the practice offers cosmetic dentistry.

These services give people a way to feel more comfortable and confident with their appearance, whether for a milestone event or simply a long-awaited change. When tooth loss is part of the picture, Russo Dentistry provides dental implants as a durable, natural-feeling solution. Implants restore the ability to chew and speak with ease and offer a permanent alternative to gaps or removable appliances. The team can guide patients through the implant process and help them understand how it fits into their broader dental health, making a potentially daunting treatment feel more approachable. The office also makes room for emergency dentistry, recognizing that a cracked tooth or a sudden bout of pain rarely waits for a convenient time. Having a place to turn for urgent care means patients can get relief promptly rather than letting a problem worsen. Russo Dentistry suits individuals and families who want comprehensive care from a team that takes time to explain options and answer questions. Whether someone visits for a simple checkup, a cosmetic refresh, an implant consultation, or an unexpected emergency, the practice aims to deliver attentive, dependable dentistry for the Raleigh community.

On Saint Marys Street in Raleigh, Dr. Ashley Lloyd, DDS runs a practice that carries the personal feel of a dentist-led office, where patients tend to see a familiar face and build a real relationship over time. The foundation is general dentistry, with cleanings, exams, fillings, and preventive care that help patients stay ahead of cavities and gum issues.

Cosmetic dentistry is part of the offering for patients who want to improve how their smile looks. Teeth whitening provides a straightforward lift for a smile dulled by daily staining, and porcelain veneers reshape teeth that are chipped, uneven, or discolored.

For more substantial needs, the office provides dental implants to replace missing teeth with a stable, lasting solution. Implants restore both the function of chewing and the confidence of a complete smile, and Dr. Lloyd can walk patients through what the treatment involves so the process feels clear rather than intimidating. This restorative capability means patients do not have to seek care elsewhere for involved cases. Emergency dentistry rounds out the services, ensuring that a sudden toothache or a broken tooth has somewhere to turn quickly. The Saint Marys Street location, near central Raleigh, makes the office convenient for people across the area. Dr. Lloyd's practice suits patients who value a warm, attentive style and clear communication about their care. Whether the visit is a routine cleaning, a whitening session, an implant consultation, or an urgent problem, the office aims to deliver thoughtful, personalized dentistry for the Raleigh community. For people who prize a personal connection with their dentist, that single-provider continuity is exactly what keeps them coming back to Saint Marys Street.

How to Choose a Dentist in Raleigh

Use the ranking as a starting point, then narrow the shortlist based on the kind of care you actually need.

If you want routine or family care

Prioritize review consistency, insurance friendliness, practical hours, and a broad general-dentistry service mix over marketing language alone.

If urgency matters

Confirm same-day capacity, after-hours guidance, and whether the clinic handles urgent restorative work in-house or refers out.

If affordability matters most

Compare financing signals, insurance notes, and the local cost guide. A higher-ranked clinic is not automatically the best value for your specific treatment.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Do you accept my insurance or offer payment plans?
  • Are you taking new patients right now?
  • Do you handle my treatment in-house?
  • What is the total expected cost before treatment starts?
EditorialUpdated August 2, 2026Independently reviewed

Raleigh has no shortage of dental providers — a quick search pulls up hundreds. The challenge isn't finding one, it's figuring out which ones actually deliver. We spent time reviewing patient outcomes, checking credentials, comparing pricing, and analyzing feedback from patients who've had pediatric dentists work done across the Raleigh metro area.

This is the short list. Ten providers in Raleigh, North Carolina that consistently showed up in the data — not because they paid to be here, but because their patients keep coming back and referring others. If you're weighing options for pediatric dentists in Raleigh, start here.
