Vander is a small community, and that comes with tradeoffs — one of them being that full-service dental care is not available around the corner. But 8 miles is not a significant distance, and 12 minutes on a familiar road is not a significant commitment. The Teeth Doctors™ on Yadkin Road in Fayetteville puts a practice that handles crowns, implants, root canals, cosmetic work, and sedation closer to Vander residents than most people realize when they start searching.
The difference between The Teeth Doctors™ and a closer option that handles the basics is that nothing gets referred out. Whatever comes up — from a child's first cleaning to a full-arch implant restoration — it happens at one address with one provider who knows your case. For Vander residents who have been managing dental care by driving further than they should have to, the answer is closer than you thought.
The Provider 8 Miles from Vander With Credentials Worth Knowing
Finding a full-service dental practice this close to Vander that operates at this credential level is not something most eastern Cumberland County residents expect. Dr. Jeremiah Davis is a US Army veteran — a captain who served in the 82nd Airborne Division at Fort Bragg — and the founder of The Teeth Doctors™. He trained at UNC Chapel Hill School of Dentistry and the Kenan-Flagler Business School, and what he has built since then is a clinical record that goes well past what most practices within a short drive of Vander can offer.
His Master of the Academy of General Dentistry (MAGD) is where that record starts — held by fewer than 2% of general dentists in the US and Canada, requiring more than 1,100 hours of continuing education, 400 of them hands-on, plus a written examination equivalent in difficulty to board certification. For Vander residents who want a provider capable of handling whatever comes up without a referral, that breadth of training is exactly what makes the 8-mile drive worth making. His implant credentials extend that picture further: Fellow of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry (FAAID), Diplomate of the American Board of Oral Implantology (DABOI/ID), Master of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (MICIO), Master of the Academy of Osseointegration (AO), and Surgical Master of the Interdisciplinary Dental Education Academy — each requiring case submissions, documented outcomes, and peer review. Incisal Edge magazine named him to their Top 40 Dentists Under 40 list in 2021.
For a community where full-service dental care has never been available locally, 8 miles to this level of provider is a shorter distance than most Vander residents have been traveling for comparable care.
Why Choose Us?
Close Enough That There Is No Good Reason to Keep Putting It Off
The most common reason Vander residents delay dental care is not cost, not anxiety, and not a bad experience somewhere else — it is the perception that getting to a good provider requires a trip that is not worth planning around. Eight miles changes that calculation entirely.
The Worry Free from A to Z™ approach at The Teeth Doctors™ handles everything that makes dental care feel like more effort than it is worth. Insurance is verified and filed before you arrive — you give us your information when you call and we handle the rest. If anxiety has been a factor, we offer nitrous oxide and oral sedation, and we build the appointment around your comfort level from the first conversation rather than the day of the visit. Treatment is explained in plain language before anything starts, so there are no moments mid-appointment where you are unsure what is happening or why. And because the office is 12 minutes from Vander, the logistical barrier that has been keeping dental care on the back burner is effectively gone.
The appointment you have been putting off is 8 miles away. That is the whole obstacle — and it is not much of one.

Our Vander Dental Services Include:
Insurance, Financing, and Membership for Vander Patients
If insurance paperwork has been part of what makes dental care feel like more effort than it is worth, that stops here. We are in-network with select PPO plans including Delta Dental, and we handle all filing, claim tracking, and follow-up without putting any of that back on you — you give us your information when you call and we take it from there. If your plan is out-of-network, call us for a complimentary Benefits Consultation before you assume it will not work, and we will tell you exactly what your coverage looks like before you book anything.
For Vander residents without dental insurance, our Friends and Family Membership Plan covers regular cleanings, exams, X-rays, fluoride, and emergency exams for $420 per year — no deductibles, no waiting periods, no claim forms, and no yearly maximums. For larger treatments — implants, crowns, or restorative work that has been sitting on the back burner — we offer CareCredit interest-free financing and loans from $2,500 up to $75,000, with terms up to 12 years, rates starting at 5.99% APR, and instant approvals. The office is 8 miles away and the payment options are flexible — between the two, there is not much standing between you and the appointment you have been putting off.
Questions Vander Residents Ask Before Their First Visit
How far is the drive from Vander to your office?
Eight miles — about 12 minutes heading west toward Fayetteville and onto Yadkin Road. It is one of the shorter drives in this set of communities we serve, and for most Vander residents it is less than they expected once they actually look it up. The route is straightforward and familiar for anyone who travels into Fayetteville regularly.
Do you accept new patients from Vander?
Yes. We welcome new patients from Vander and throughout eastern Cumberland County. You can call us at (910) 864-4646 or request an appointment online. If you are not sure whether we are the right fit for what you need, call first — we will give you a straight answer before you make the drive.
I just need a cleaning. Is it worth driving 8 miles for that?
Yes, for two reasons. First, a cleaning is where problems get caught before they become expensive — skipping it because the drive feels unnecessary is how a small issue becomes a crown or a root canal. Second, if something does come up at a routine visit, you are already established with a practice that can handle it in-house without sending you somewhere else. Eight miles to avoid a much longer problem down the road is a reasonable trade.
Do you handle dental emergencies for Vander patients?
Yes. If you are in pain, call (910) 864-4646 and we will get you in as quickly as possible. Being 12 minutes from the office means you are not far — do not sit with dental pain waiting for it to resolve on its own, because it will not.
I have not been to the dentist in a long time. Where do I start?
You start by calling us and telling us how long it has been. We will schedule an exam, assess where things stand, and walk you through what needs to happen and in what order — no judgment about the gap, just a clear picture of where you are and what comes next. If anxiety has been part of the reason for the delay, tell us when you call and we will plan the first visit around your comfort level from the start.
Can I schedule multiple family members on the same visit?
Yes. For Vander families, scheduling everyone on the same visit makes a 12-minute drive even more practical — one trip handles the whole household rather than several separate drives across the week. Call us and we will build an appointment block that fits everyone in one visit.
What if I need implants or more complex work?
Dr. Davis places and restores implants in-house, which means Vander residents needing more involved treatment do not have to locate a separate specialist across town. Single-tooth implants, implant-supported bridges, implant dentures, and full-arch restorations including All-On-4 are all available at our Yadkin Road office. If you have been told bone loss disqualifies you, bring that conversation to us before accepting it as final.
Ready to Schedule?
Call (910) 864-4646 or request an appointment online. Office hours are Monday through Thursday, 9 AM to 4 PM, and Friday, 10 AM to 4 PM. The office is 8 miles from Vander — the hardest part is making the call, and that takes about two minutes.

What Vander Residents Come to Us For
Everything Your Family Needs — 12 Minutes Away
For a small community like Vander, having a full-service practice this close means you are not choosing between convenience and quality — you get both. We see patients of all ages, handling preventive care including cleanings, exams, and X-rays alongside restorative work including fillings, crowns, bridges, root canals, and extractions, all at one address without a referral out. Vander families who need to get multiple members seen can schedule everyone on the same visit, which turns a 12-minute drive into a productive afternoon rather than several separate trips across the week. If something urgent comes up before your next scheduled visit, call (910) 864-4646 and we will get you in as quickly as we can.
Cosmetic Work That Does Not Require a Long Drive
Vander residents who have been thinking about cosmetic dental work often assume finding the right provider means driving further than 8 miles — it does not. Veneers, teeth whitening, cosmetic bonding, dental crowns, and full smile makeovers are all available at our Yadkin Road office, handled with the same precision Dr. Davis brings to every other case. He uses digital imaging to show you a projected outcome before any treatment begins, so you are making a decision based on something concrete rather than a description of what might be possible. He walks through what is genuinely achievable for your specific situation before you commit to anything.
Implants Without the Drive You Were Expecting
Most Vander residents who need implants assume they are looking at a significant drive to find a provider who can handle it in-house — the reality is that provider is 8 miles away. Dr. Davis places and restores implants at one address, which means your consultation, surgical placement, and final restoration all happen with the same provider from start to finish without a hand-off to a separate specialist. Single-tooth implants, implant-supported bridges, implant dentures, and full-arch restorations including All-On-4 are all available without a referral out. If bone loss has been presented as a reason implants are not an option for you, bring that to Dr. Davis before you accept it as final.
When 8 Miles Is All That Was Standing Between You and the Chair
For some Vander residents, the gap in dental care is not really about distance — it is about anxiety that made any drive feel longer than it was worth. We offer nitrous oxide and oral sedation, and for patients who need it, the appointment is built around that from the first phone call so nothing about the day feels like a surprise. If the combination of a short drive and a practice that plans around your comfort level is what it takes to finally make the call, that is a perfectly reasonable place to start — tell us when you schedule and we will handle the rest.
