Spring Lake is where a lot of Fort Liberty families actually live — off-post, in the community, managing everything that comes with military life outside the gate. The on-post dental clinic handles active-duty soldiers for routine care, but for spouses, children, and family members who need more than a standard cleaning, the search for a civilian provider starts here.
The Teeth Doctors™ is about 10 minutes down Bragg Boulevard from Spring Lake — close enough that getting the family seen does not require a major logistical commitment. Dr. Jeremiah Davis is a US Army veteran who understands what military family life actually looks like, and he built a practice that handles everything in-house — from a child's first cleaning to an implant case that a general dentist would refer out. For Spring Lake families who want one civilian provider they can count on through multiple PCS cycles, this is that practice.
A Veteran Who Built a Practice for Families Like Yours
Most dental practices near Spring Lake will tell you they welcome military families. Dr. Jeremiah Davis is one of them — not because it is good marketing, but because he served in the same community before founding The Teeth Doctors™.
He was a captain in the US Army's 82nd Airborne Division at Fort Bragg before transitioning to civilian practice. He trained at UNC Chapel Hill School of Dentistry and the Kenan-Flagler Business School, and the practice he built reflects the same standard of preparation he held in uniform — which means credentials that go well beyond what most civilian providers near Spring Lake have pursued.
For Spring Lake families who need a provider who can handle the full range of dental care without a referral chain, his training covers that ground. His Master of the Academy of General Dentistry (MAGD) required more than 1,100 hours of continuing education — 400 of them hands-on — plus a written examination equivalent in difficulty to board certification, a designation held by fewer than 2% of general dentists in the US and Canada. His implant credentials extend that depth: 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. Incisal Edge magazine named him to their Top 40 Dentists Under 40 list in 2021.
For Spring Lake military families who rotate providers every few years and are tired of starting over with someone who does not understand their situation, Dr. Davis is the provider worth staying with.
Why Choose Us?
Built for the Reality of Off-Post Military Family Life
Managing a household near Fort Liberty looks different from managing one in a civilian community. Deployment schedules change. A spouse leaves on orders and the other parent is suddenly handling every appointment — school, medical, dental — for every child, alone, on a timeline that does not pause.
The Worry Free from A to Z™ approach at The Teeth Doctors™ is built with that reality in mind. When you call, we take your insurance information — including TRICARE if applicable — verify benefits, and have everything sorted before your appointment so there is no paperwork to deal with when you arrive. If a child is anxious about the dentist, or if a parent has been putting off their own care because the family always comes first, we offer nitrous oxide and oral sedation, and we plan appointments around comfort level from the first call. Treatment is explained before it starts — not assumed or rushed — because a parent managing the household solo during a deployment does not have time to chase down answers after the fact.
The office is about 10 minutes from Spring Lake. The process is handled before you get here. That is the point.
Dental Services for Spring Lake Military Families
Managing the Family's Dental Care — Even When Your Spouse Is Away
For Spring Lake families where one parent is deployed or on extended orders, dental appointments for the kids do not stop — and neither do the parent's own overdue cleanings. At The Teeth Doctors™, we see patients of all ages, and we understand that a solo parent coordinating everything at home needs an office that makes the process as simple as possible. Preventive care covers cleanings, exams, and X-rays; restorative care covers fillings, crowns, bridges, root canals, and extractions, all handled in-house without a referral out. Scheduling multiple family members on the same visit means one short drive down Bragg Boulevard takes care of everyone — not several separate trips across an already full week. If something urgent comes up, call (910) 864-4646 and we will get you in as quickly as possible.
The Cosmetic Appointment You Keep Moving to Next PCS
Military spouses in Spring Lake know the pattern — something gets planned before a deployment, deferred during it, and quietly moved to the next duty station's to-do list. If cosmetic dental work has been following you through PCS cycles without ever making it to the top, this is a reasonable place to act on it. Veneers, teeth whitening, cosmetic bonding, dental crowns, and full smile makeovers are all available at our Yadkin Road office, and Dr. Davis uses digital imaging to show you a projected outcome before any treatment begins so you are making a decision based on something you can actually see. He walks through what is realistic for your specific case before you commit to anything — no pressure, no surprises.
Implant Care Without Adding Another Provider to Your List
Spring Lake families managing care across multiple family members already have enough providers to keep track of. When an implant case comes up — for a spouse, a veteran family member, or anyone dealing with tooth loss — the last thing you need is another referral to another office across town. Dr. Davis places and restores implants in-house, which means your consultation, surgical placement, and final restoration all happen at one address with one team that already knows your family. 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 given as a reason implants are not an option, bring that conversation to Dr. Davis before accepting it as final.
For the Parent Who Has Been Putting Their Own Care Last
In most Spring Lake military households, the kids get scheduled first. The deployed spouse's dental needs get addressed on the installation. And the parent managing everything at home quietly skips their own appointments because there is always something more urgent on the list. We see this regularly, and we are not going to make you feel guilty about the gap — we are going to help you close it. We offer nitrous oxide and oral sedation for patients who need more than encouragement to get through an appointment comfortably, and the entire visit is structured around making it as easy as possible from the moment you call. You have been taking care of everyone else. This one is for you.
Where Are We?
Getting to Our Fayetteville Office from Spring Lake
From Spring Lake, head south on Bragg Boulevard toward Fayetteville. The drive runs about 8 to 10 miles and takes roughly 10 to 15 minutes under normal traffic conditions — a route most Spring Lake residents already travel regularly for shopping, errands, and appointments that are not available in the immediate area. Bragg Boulevard connects Spring Lake directly to Fayetteville without complicated navigation, and our Yadkin Road office sits on the western side of the city along a stretch of road that most Fort Liberty families already know. For a military household managing multiple schedules, a 10-minute drive that handles the whole family in one visit is about as low a barrier as civilian dental care gets.
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.

Insurance and Payment Options for Spring Lake Military Families
Military family dental coverage is rarely straightforward — TRICARE eligibility varies by enrollment status, civilian provider participation is not guaranteed, and coverage gaps tend to show up at the worst possible time. We are in-network with select PPO plans including Delta Dental, and we handle all filing, claim tracking, and follow-up without putting that back on you. If you have TRICARE or a plan whose civilian coverage you are not sure about, call us for a complimentary Benefits Consultation before you book anything — we will walk through your specific situation honestly and tell you exactly what applies before your family makes the drive down Bragg Boulevard.
For Spring Lake families without civilian dental coverage, our Friends and Family Membership Plan covers regular cleanings, exams, X-rays, fluoride, and emergency exams for $420 per year per person — no deductibles, no waiting periods, no claim forms, and no yearly maximums. For larger treatments — implants, crowns, or restorative work that has been deferred through a deployment cycle — 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. If a procedure has been sitting on the back burner while everything else took priority, call us before the next deployment window closes — there is likely a payment structure that makes it workable.
Questions Spring Lake Military Families Ask Before Their First Visit
How far is your office from Spring Lake?
About 8 to 10 miles south on Bragg Boulevard — roughly 10 to 15 minutes under normal traffic conditions. It is a route most Spring Lake residents already travel regularly, which means the dental appointment fits into a trip you are already making rather than requiring a dedicated drive to an unfamiliar part of Fayetteville.
My spouse is deployed. Can I bring the kids in without them?
Yes, and this is one of the most common situations we see from Spring Lake families. We see children and family members independently without requiring the active-duty member to be present. If you are managing all the appointments solo right now, call us at (910) 864-4646 and we will get everyone scheduled — multiple family members can be seen on the same visit so one trip down Bragg Boulevard takes care of the whole family.
Do you accept TRICARE for Spring Lake patients?
Call us for a complimentary Benefits Consultation before you assume your coverage does not apply. We will walk through your specific TRICARE plan, tell you what it covers at our office, and present alternatives — including our Friends and Family Membership Plan — if your coverage does not extend to civilian providers. That conversation happens on the phone before you book anything, so there are no surprises when you arrive.
My child is anxious about the dentist. How do you handle that?
We plan around it from the first call rather than figuring it out when you arrive. We offer nitrous oxide for younger patients who need additional support, and we structure appointments around their comfort level — a slower pace, clear explanations at each step, and no rushing through anything. Tell us about your child's anxiety when you schedule and we will have everything ready before you walk in.
I have been skipping my own dental appointments while managing everything at home. Where do I start?
You start by calling us at (910) 864-4646 and telling us how long it has been. We will schedule an exam, assess where things stand, and build a plan from there — no lecture about the gap, just a clear picture of what needs to happen and in what order. If anxiety has been part of the reason you have been putting it off, we offer nitrous oxide and oral sedation and will structure your appointment around that from the start. You have been taking care of everyone else — this one is for you.
We just PCS'd to Spring Lake. How do we get the whole family established quickly?
Call us and let us know you just arrived. We will schedule your family as efficiently as possible — multiple members can be seen on the same visit, and we will walk you through the records transfer process so the first appointments are productive rather than spent reconstructing dental histories from memory. Bring your insurance information when you call and we will verify benefits before anyone sits down.
Do you handle dental emergencies for Spring Lake families?
Yes. If anyone in your family is in pain, call (910) 864-4646 and we will get them in as quickly as possible. Being 10 minutes down Bragg Boulevard means you are not far — do not wait out a dental problem hoping it resolves, especially when you are already managing the household on your own.
What if we need care that goes beyond routine cleanings?
Everything from crowns and root canals to implants and full-arch restorations is handled in-house at one address by one provider. For Spring Lake families who are already managing enough moving parts, that means you are not locating a separate specialist every time something more involved comes up — Dr. Davis handles it here, with the same team that already knows your family's history.
Ready to Get Your Family Scheduled?
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. For Spring Lake families coordinating multiple members or managing care during a deployment, calling directly lets us build a visit block that works for your situation in one conversation.
