Who we are

With over 25 years of experience as a Dental Hygienist, I deeply understand the critical role that sharp instruments play in providing high quality patient care. Dull dental instruments not only increase fatigue and reduce tactile sensitivity for hygienists, but also compromise their ability to effectively remove calculus, impacting patient outcomes. Recognizing the busy nature of dental practices, where there is little time for staff to sharpen instruments, The Smarter Edge was founded.

After personally experiencing the frustration of long turnaround times from traditional sharpening services, I realized the need for a reliable, timely and locally focused sharpening solution in the Triangle area. The Smarter Edge offers convenient pickup and delivery scheduling directly coordinated with your office, significantly reducing downtime and eliminating shipping hassles for local practices.

Not located in the Triangle area? No worries—we’ve got you covered. Our commitment extends to practices beyond Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill. Upon receiving your instruments, we will work effeciently and diligently to ensure your instruments are sharpened and promptly returned, supporting your practice’s commitment to exceptional oral healthcare.
