Meet Dr. Laster

Dr. Stewart Laster loves the transformation a great smile brings to a person! He has made it his life’s passion to help others love their smiles. He truly enjoys creating a lasting impression on the patients’ he serves. In addition, he believes in providing the best care and patient experience at Laster Orthodontics.

A Passion for Creating Amazing Smiles

Dr. Laster grew up in Norfolk, Virginia, and went to The College of William and Mary for his undergraduate degree in biology. Then, he attended UNC-Chapel Hill for dental school and orthodontic residency and finished in 2001 and 2004.  Then, immediately joined this practice and have been practicing orthodontics in the Raleigh area for over 17 years.  Dr. Laster’s thesis on three-dimensional imaging won the national research award and paved the way for incorporating unique and specialized technologies in his practice.

It was his early work in three-dimension imaging that gave Dr. Laster the expertise to develop the Laster Perfect Smiles (LPS) clear aligner system, and start the first and only clear aligner lab in the Raleigh area.  LPS is a cost-effective clear aligner system (like Invisalign) that in our practice delivers amazing smiles for our patients using plastic as opposed to braces.  Dr. Laster’s real passion is providing patients with top-notch service, and seeing the amazing smiles that we create together.

Dr. Laster met his bride, Dr. Christine Laster while attending dental school at UNC-Chapel Hill when they both volunteered to do a mission trip to the Nuestros Pequenos Hermanos Orphanage in Mexico.  They have been married for over 20 years, since 2001.  Dr. Laster has three children Cate (UNC-Chapel Hill) Caroline (North Raleigh Christian Academy) and Will (Thales Academy). Dr. Laster enjoys time with his family and dogs, traveling, reading, training for marathons, and coaching and attending youth sports.  Dr. Laster also is passionate about learning about new technologies and techniques and using them to serve his patients better, always striving to create even better smiles and patient experiences.

Sarah S.
It’s a little too early in the process to give a complete review of Laster orthodontics but so far 5 Stars!I am a woman in my 60s who discovered that my lower teeth were getting crowded... and my canines were pushing out like a vampire. Apparently your jaw shrinks as you get older (who knew?) I was able to quickly get an appointment with the Laster orthodontics in Raleigh as it is very convenient to me. I was very impressed by the staff, The positive energy and the technology. I was also impressed with Dr. Laster, who said that aligners would correct help my problem. He was very nice and personable, and he developed their own brand of aligners (Very similar to Invisalign) right here in the Triangle.I’m only in my second week of wearing aligners. And I have to say it’s no fun. It’s like wearing a too tight bra and Spanx except it’s on my teeth. It’s such a relief when I can take them out, but it doesn’t last long because I have to wear them 22 hours a day.I’m told it gets easier and as it turns out, I have quite a few friends around my age Who have or recently had aligners. Dr. Laster’s prices were competitive with what my friends paid (over $5k but with a convenient no interest payment plan). .I have 14 sets of aligners To change out every two weeks. So guess Dr. Laster is estimating maybe seven months (everyone is different) It feels like a long time right now, but I’m excited to get my smile back.I will come back and update this review when I’m done. Oh yes, a nice side benefit is that I’ve lost a few pounds. We will see if that lasts.read more

I've used Laster Orthodontics at the Zebulon and Rolesville locations. I prefer the Zebulon one cause it's closer to me. I chose Laster because my dentist recommended it to me. I prefer... Laster over Aspen Dental because Laster doesn't make you sign up for a credit card. Laster signs you up for making payments each month. The people are nice there. You don't have to wait too long to be seen like with Aspen Dental. I straightened my teeth years ago but had to stop treatment because my priorities changed. I put college before my teeth. It's 2024 and I'm ready to straighten again. They don't judge you. And now they offer teeth whitening which is something I'm really looking forward to because Crest and Colgate toothpaste can only do so much. Can't wait to have the smile I've always wanted since middle school and my parents couldn't afford it but now I can. 5 out of 5 stars.read more
Meagan Y.
Friendly staff. Very informative. So far my experience has been great.
Chakereha B.
Laster Orthodontics is great. I’ve been to the Rolesville and Zebulon locations. They make it affordable with payment options without having to sign up for a credit card like Aspen Dental.... I highly recommend Laster over Aspen. 5 out of 5 stars. Everybody’s nice. If you want a straight smile- this is the company you wanna go with. I’ve spent a lot of money here and haven’t regretted a penny. I chose aligners over braces. That’s just my preference. A great smile boosts confidence. I do smile a little more, showing my teeth now. I used to not show any teeth when I smiled. Choose Laster Orthodontics.read more

As always, the staff is very kind and great at what they do.

Choosing Laster Orthodontics for my clear braces was easily one of the best decisions I've made, and it's all thanks to Dr. Laster and his exceptional team. As a senior, deciding on clear... braces was not an easy choice for me, but from the moment I walked into their office, I knew I was in capable hands. I trusted them with my daughter, who has the most beautiful smile now as well.Dr. Laster's expertise and genuine care shone through from the very beginning. He took the time to thoroughly explain the process, addressing all my concerns with patience and understanding. What truly set Laster Orthodontics apart, however, was their outstanding customer service.The entire staff at Laster Orthodontics went above and beyond to ensure I felt comfortable and supported every step of the way. From the warm welcome at reception to the meticulous care during each appointment, I always felt like a valued member of their orthodontic family.Their office environment is nothing short of inviting and professional, making each visit a pleasure rather than a chore. Dr. Laster and his team foster an atmosphere of trust and positivity, which made me confident in my choice of treatment.Thanks to Laster Orthodontics, my journey to a straighter smile has been smooth sailing. I can't recommend them highly enough to anyone considering orthodontic treatment, regardless of age. Trust me, you won't find a better team to guide you through the process with expertise, care, and genuine warmth.read more

A. H.
I’ve been a patient of Dr. Laster since 2009 with braces off/ on and Dr.L and his staff referring me to UNC Dental School ( Dr. Tim Turvey, another stellar man of integrity, kindness and a... gifted professional).Dr. Lprepped me for a major jaw operation in 2012 and has been a patient, moral and kind man of integrity and gifts that go well beyond his skills as an orthodontist. He is an extraordinary human being, committed to doing the right thing in a world where mediocrity, apathy, and doing the minimum has become the norm in many professions. His practice tells a different story and I’m grateful for him hanging in there with me through these years with everything that I’ve experienced. His staff is also lovely, fun and kind. It’s obvious why he received Orthodontist of The Year. He’s definitely a testament to the philosophy that if you do the right and honorable thing from the start, the rest just takes care of itself .read more

We have visited all their locations, but since we live in Zebulon, that is our favorite. Dr. Laster and his staff are wonderful with the patients and the parents. Their friendliness and... gentleness soothe any nerves kids may have about this process. All 3 of our sons had great success with Dr. Laster and it is such a blessing to know their overbites are gone and the teeth are straight for life. With the "after braces" care they provide, the Laster team makes sure their patients stay on track for years to come with their retainers, education and check ups. With flexible times, they work with you to get those appointments done on time. We will miss them!read more
