Raeford has dental offices. What it does not have is a practice where one provider handles implants, cosmetic work, sedation, and complex restorative cases without sending you to Fayetteville anyway for the parts that matter most. If a referral is where most Hoke County dental cases end up, the more practical question is whether you can start with the right provider instead of arriving there after two extra appointments.
The Teeth Doctors™ is about 25 miles east on US-401 — a route most Raeford residents already know. Dr. Jeremiah Davis places and restores implants in-house, handles sedation for patients who have been avoiding the chair for years, and offers cosmetic and restorative services that Hoke County simply does not have locally. For Raeford residents who have been putting off a procedure because the right provider was not nearby, that drive on US-401 East has a clear destination.
A Veteran Who Knows Hoke County's Dental Landscape
Hoke County has a dental access problem that most residents already understand firsthand. When something beyond a routine cleaning comes up — an implant, a complicated extraction, cosmetic work worth doing right — the answer is almost always Fayetteville. Dr. Jeremiah Davis is the reason that answer has a specific address.
He served as a captain in the US Army's 82nd Airborne Division at Fort Bragg — the same installation whose training ranges put military families throughout Hoke County — before founding 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 the kind of clinical record that makes the drive from Raeford worth making once rather than twice.
His general dentistry foundation starts with the Master of the Academy of General Dentistry (MAGD) — 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. His implant credentials cover ground most providers in this region have not reached: 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 required documented case submissions, peer review, and demonstrated outcomes — not attendance certificates. Incisal Edge magazine named him to their Top 40 Dentists Under 40 list in 2021.
For Raeford and Hoke County residents who have been bounced between providers or told to find a specialist in Fayetteville, Dr. Davis is that specialist — and the generalist — at the same address.
Why Choose Us?
One Call. One Location. No Referral Chain.
Most Hoke County residents have experienced what it looks like when a dental practice hits the edge of what it can handle. The referral slip comes out, a specialist's name gets written down, and suddenly a procedure that should have been straightforward becomes a multi-month coordination exercise between offices that do not talk to each other.
The Worry Free from A to Z™ approach at The Teeth Doctors™ is built to eliminate exactly that experience. Insurance is handled on our end from the first call — you give us your information, we verify benefits, file claims, and follow up on anything delayed without making that your problem to manage. If you have TRICARE or a plan we are not in-network with, we offer a complimentary Benefits Consultation before you commit to anything. If anxiety has kept you or someone in your family out of the dental chair — which is more common in communities with limited local access than most people acknowledge — we offer nitrous oxide and oral sedation, and appointments are built around comfort level from the start. Treatment is explained in plain language before it begins, not summarized after the fact.
For Raeford patients who are used to dental care that runs out of options at the hard cases, this practice is built differently. Twenty-five miles on US-401 East, and the referral chain stops.
What Raeford and Hoke County Residents Come to Us For
The Full Range of Care — Not Just the Easy Cases
Raeford families dealing with anything beyond a routine cleaning already know the local options run out quickly. At The Teeth Doctors™, the full range of dental care happens at one location without hitting a ceiling. Preventive care covers cleanings, exams, and X-rays. Restorative care covers fillings, crowns, bridges, root canals, and extractions — handled in-house by the same provider who sees your case from the first appointment forward. For Hoke County families with multiple members who need care, scheduling everyone on the same visit turns one trip on US-401 East into a productive afternoon rather than several separate drives across the week. If a dental emergency comes up before your next scheduled visit, call (910) 864-4646 — we treat urgent cases as a priority and will get you in as quickly as we can.
Cosmetic Dentistry That Hoke County Does Not Offer Locally
Veneers, teeth whitening, cosmetic bonding, dental crowns, and complete smile makeovers are available at our Yadkin Road office at a level Raeford residents cannot access closer to home. Dr. Davis approaches cosmetic cases with the same clinical precision he brings to restorative work — outcome defined before treatment begins, digital imaging that shows you the projected result before anything is done, and a candid conversation about what is genuinely achievable for your specific situation versus what is not. For Hoke County patients who have been thinking about cosmetic work but assumed the right provider was too far away, 25 miles on US-401 East is a more manageable distance than most people expect once they know what is waiting at the other end.
Implants Without the Referral to Fayetteville — Already in Fayetteville
The typical path for a Raeford resident who needs implants starts with a local dentist who cannot place them, a referral to an oral surgeon somewhere in Fayetteville, a separate restorative provider for the crown, and a process that drags across months with no single person accountable for the full outcome. At The Teeth Doctors™, that entire chain collapses into one address. Dr. Davis handles the consultation, the surgical placement, and the final restoration without a hand-off to another provider. Single-tooth implants, implant-supported bridges, implant dentures, and full-arch restorations including All-On-4 are all available in-house. If a Raeford provider or a specialist has told you that bone loss disqualifies you from implants, bring that conversation to Dr. Davis before you accept it as a final answer — it may not be.
Getting Back in the Chair After Years Away
Limited local dental access does something specific over time — it makes avoidance easier to justify than it should be. When the closest provider who can handle your situation is already a drive away, putting it off for another month feels reasonable. Then another month passes. For Raeford patients who have been out of the dental chair for longer than they want to admit, we are not here to make the conversation uncomfortable. We offer nitrous oxide and oral sedation for patients who need more than encouragement to get through an appointment, and we build the visit around what it actually takes for you to be comfortable — not around moving through a schedule. Tell us where things stand when you call. The 25 miles on US-401 East is the easy part. We handle everything after that.
Where Are We?
Getting to Our Fayetteville Office from Raeford
From Raeford, take US-401 East toward Fayetteville. The route runs approximately 25 miles and takes about 30 minutes under normal traffic conditions — a straight, familiar corridor that most Hoke County residents already travel regularly for work, shopping, and appointments that are not available locally. There are no complicated interchanges and no navigating through unfamiliar parts of the city. Once you reach Fayetteville on US-401 East, follow the route toward Yadkin Road on the western side of the city. For a procedure that Raeford cannot provide locally, 30 minutes on a road you already know is a reasonable trade.
Our address is 6402 Yadkin Rd, Fayetteville, NC 28303. Free on-site parking is available. Office hours are Monday through Thursday, 9 AM to 4 PM, and Friday, 10 AM to 4 PM.

Our Raeford Dental Services Include:
Insurance, Financing, and Membership Options for Raeford Patients
We are in-network with select PPO plans including Delta Dental, and we handle all filing, claim tracking, and follow-up without putting that process back on you. For Hoke County patients with military coverage, call us for a complimentary Benefits Consultation before you assume your plan does not apply — we will walk through your specific coverage and tell you exactly what your out-of-pocket exposure looks like before you book anything. If your plan is out-of-network, that same conversation happens on the phone before you make the drive on US-401.
For Raeford patients 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, full-arch restorations, or cosmetic work that has been deferred because the right provider was not nearby — 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. Cost should not be the reason a procedure stays on the back burner when a payment structure exists that makes it workable.
Questions Raeford and Hoke County Patients Ask Before Making the Drive
How far is the drive from Raeford to your office?
About 25 miles east on US-401 — roughly 30 minutes under normal traffic conditions. It is a straight, familiar route that most Hoke County residents already travel regularly. For a procedure that is not available locally, it is a manageable drive on a road you already know.
Do you accept new patients from Raeford?
Yes. We welcome new patients from Raeford and throughout Hoke 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 straightforward answer before you make the drive.
Raeford has dental offices. Why should I drive to Fayetteville?
For routine preventive care, you probably should not — a local provider is the practical choice for cleanings and basic maintenance. The drive to The Teeth Doctors™ makes sense when you need something local providers cannot handle: implants placed and restored in-house, cosmetic work at a credential level Hoke County does not have locally, or sedation-assisted care for a patient who has been avoiding the chair. If what you need falls into one of those categories, the 30 minutes on US-401 East is the more efficient path than starting locally and ending up with a Fayetteville referral anyway.
Can I schedule multiple family members on the same visit?
Yes. For Hoke County families making the drive from Raeford, scheduling multiple members on the same visit turns one trip on US-401 into a productive afternoon rather than several separate drives across the week. Call us and we will build a block that accommodates everyone.
Do you offer emergency dental appointments for Raeford patients?
Yes. If you are in pain, call (910) 864-4646 and we will get you in as quickly as possible. Dental problems do not improve on their own, and 30 minutes on US-401 East is a manageable trip when the alternative is sitting with pain waiting for a local slot to open up.
I have been told I need implants but cannot find a provider locally. What are my options?
This is one of the most common reasons Raeford patients call us. Dr. Davis places and restores implants in-house — the consultation, surgical placement, and final restoration all happen at one address without a referral to a separate provider. If bone loss has been given as a reason you are not a candidate, bring that to us before accepting it as final. Call (910) 864-4646 and describe your situation — we will tell you honestly what is possible before you make the drive.
I have not been to the dentist in several years. Where do I start?
You start by calling us. We will schedule an exam, assess where things stand, and build a plan from there without making you feel bad about the time in between. If anxiety has been part of the reason for the gap — which is more common than most people admit, particularly in communities where local access is limited — tell us when you call. We offer nitrous oxide and oral sedation and will structure your first visit around what it takes to get you through it comfortably.
Do you accept TRICARE or military insurance for Hoke County patients?
Call us for a complimentary Benefits Consultation before you assume your military coverage will not apply. We will walk through your specific plan, tell you what it covers, and present alternatives — including our Friends and Family Membership Plan — if your coverage does not extend to civilian providers. The consultation happens on the phone before you book anything, so there are no surprises when you arrive.
Ready to Schedule?
