A New Name, Same Mission: Inspire Dental is Transforming Smiles with Heart

Inspire Dental, previously known as Better Dental, has spent the past decade redefining the dental experience for families and individuals alike. What began in 2014 as a single office in Apex has grown into a trusted name with locations in Cary, Chapel Hill, North Raleigh, and Apex.

At the core of Inspire Dental’s philosophy is a patient-centered approach, championed by Chief Dental Officer Dr. Sree Nadella. With over 20 years of experience, Dr. Nadella has reimagined the dental office as a place of both compassion and high-quality care, particularly for those who may feel nervous about their visits.

“We believe in creating an environment where every patient feels comfortable, heard, and valued,” says Dr. Nadella, a UNC Chapel Hill alum who leads Inspire Dental with a commitment to patient well-being. Known for her calming presence and expertise in sedation dentistry, Dr. Nadella emphasizes personalized care, making Inspire Dental a welcoming choice even for those who’ve been hesitant to seek dental care in the past.

This approach has won over many patients, as reflected in glowing online reviews. One patient describes the experience as “very comfortable” and praises the team for quickly addressing dental needs while setting a forward-looking care plan. Another reviewer expressed appreciation for the attentive care provided by Dr. Cadena, who “was a real gem” with her honest and compassionate approach.

From smooth check-ins, thanks to efficient pre-appointment paperwork, to attentive and friendly staff like Lisa, a dental assistant who ensures patients feel at ease throughout their visit, Inspire Dental has earned the loyalty of many.

For those without insurance, Inspire Dental offers a comprehensive membership plan at $275 per year, covering two routine cleanings and exams, plus x-rays and a 20% discount on additional treatments. The practice also provides accessible same-day appointments and free emergency exams, making sure patients are taken care of when they need it most.

As Inspire Dental enters its second decade, the team is excited about the upcoming Invisalign Month this November. In Cary, new and returning patients can receive a free consultation, insurance benefit check, and up to $1,000 off Invisalign treatment—a step toward achieving the smile they’ve always wanted.

With a commitment to excellence and a focus on patient comfort, Inspire Dental continues to grow while staying true to its mission: inspiring confidence, one healthy smile at a time. To learn more visit Inspire Dental’s website

When Clocks Change, How to Keep Kids’ Sleep on Track

This weekend’s return to standard time may give most of us an extra hour of sleep, but for parents of young children, the time change can bring more challenges than rest. Babies and toddlers, whose sleep rhythms are still developing, often find it hard to adjust, leading to earlier wake-ups and disrupted routines.

The shift can throw off a young child’s body clock, as their circadian rhythm is still learning to align with environmental cues like light and dark.

Experts suggest easing into the change by adjusting bedtime routines gradually, moving them back by 15 to 20 minutes over several days leading up to the time change. Light exposure also plays a role—keeping rooms bright in the evening and dim in the morning can reinforce the new schedule and support melatonin production, which regulates sleep.

While each child may adapt differently, flexibility and a patient approach can help most families settle into the new rhythm within a week or two. Read Full Report

Supporting a Friend Through Cancer: Five Meaningful Ways to Help

When someone close to us is diagnosed with cancer, it’s natural to want to help—but knowing how to provide meaningful support can be challenging. Sara Sidner, who’s experienced this journey firsthand, offers simple yet powerful ways to be there for a friend or family member during their treatment.

These five thoughtful tips provide guidance for offering comfort and practical help, showing that small gestures can make a world of difference:

1. Reach Out Without Expectations: Sending a simple message to let your loved one know you’re thinking of them can be powerful. Give them space by clarifying they don’t need to reply, so they feel your support without the pressure to respond.

2. Offer Practical Help Like Food: Instead of blankets or candles, consider a gift card for a meal delivery service or drop off a favorite dish at their door. Practical, thoughtful gestures help make daily life easier when they may have little energy to cook.

3. Dial Down the Sympathy: Avoid treating them with pity. Lighthearted interactions and a bit of humor can help them feel grounded. Sharing life’s lighter moments brings comfort without centering the illness.

4. Share Useful Tips, Not Horror Stories: If you know helpful remedies or resources, share them—but skip the frightening anecdotes. Constructive advice from those who’ve been there can provide genuine comfort.

5. Connect Them with Survivors: If you know someone who’s had a similar experience and is open to sharing, making the introduction can offer invaluable insight and comfort, especially as they prepare for treatment.
