Fayetteville is roughly an hour and forty minutes from our Oleander Drive office via I-40 and NC-24 or US-701.
Fayetteville is the longest regular drive of any community we serve, and we will say plainly that it only makes sense for particular cases. Nobody should drive an hour and forty minutes for routine dentistry.
The Fayetteville patients we do see are typically travelling for one of three reasons: a full mouth reconstruction that needs a prosthodontist to plan, a second opinion on a complex treatment plan they have been quoted elsewhere, or implant work that has already failed once and needs someone to sort it out.
We regularly see patients from Haymount, Vander, Hope Mills, and the Fort Liberty area, and from across the area around Fort Liberty, the Cape Fear Botanical Garden.

Dental bonding — also called a composite restoration — is tooth-colored resin sculpted directly onto a tooth to repair decay, a chip, a worn edge, or a small gap. It is shaped, hardened, and polished in a single visit, with no lab work and no second appointment.
The material is matched to the shade of your existing teeth, so the repair blends in and no dark metal shows. Because it bonds to the tooth surface, very little healthy structure has to be removed — which is what makes it the most conservative option in cosmetic dentistry.
Bonding is not always the right answer. It stains over time where porcelain does not, and it will not carry the load on a heavily broken tooth. For a chipped front corner or a narrow gap it is often the better choice; for a whole tooth changing shape and color, see porcelain veneers or a crown. Our comparison of dental bonding vs. veneers walks through where the line falls.
We remove any decay or damaged areas, clean the tooth, and place a tooth-colored composite material that is shaped and polished to match your natural tooth.
We examine your teeth and determine if a composite restoration is the best option for repairing damage or decay.
The damaged or decayed portion of the tooth is gently removed, and the area is cleaned.
A tooth-colored material is placed, shaped, and hardened to restore strength and appearance.
Your tooth is restored to a natural look and function, blending seamlessly with your smile.
We focus on restoring teeth in a way that looks natural and feels comfortable. Every restoration is carefully matched to your smile so it blends in beautifully and functions properly.
If you are considering the trip, call first. We will tell you honestly over the phone whether your case is the kind that justifies it, and if it is not, we would rather say so than have you drive three and a half hours round trip.
