Fayetteville has more dental practices than most Cumberland County residents realize. Choosing one comes down to three questions: who is doing the cleaning, where is the office, and what happens if something more complex comes up during your visit.
This page covers all three for the practice on Yadkin Road. If you are already a patient and you landed here looking to schedule, scroll to the bottom and call. If you are evaluating practices, the sections below cover what a cleaning involves, who provides the care, and how to reach us from different parts of the city.
Where We Sit Within Fayetteville
Our office is on Yadkin Road in northwest Fayetteville, in the 28303 zip code. This is the side of town closest to Fort Liberty (formerly Fort Bragg), accessible via the All American Freeway and I-295 (the Fayetteville Outer Loop). For Fayetteville residents on the west side, Cross Creek Mall area, Westwood, or the Hope Mills border, we are typically a shorter drive than a downtown practice.
Residents east of downtown, including Eastover, Vander, and the I-95 Business corridor, have a slightly longer drive but avoid the All American Freeway congestion that downtown practices push through. Most patients hit the office in 15 minutes or less from anywhere in the Fayetteville city limits.
What a Professional Dental Cleaning Includes
Standard adult cleaning, about 45 to 60 minutes, in this sequence:
- Soft-tissue check.Gums, tongue, cheeks, palate, looking for inflammation or lesions.
- Periodontal probing.Pocket depths measured at six points per tooth.
- Plaque and tartar removed above and below the gumline.
- Surface stains removed, tooth surfaces smoothed.
- Flossing and fluoride.Final cleanup and fluoride application based on decay risk.
- Exam by Dr. Davis.Findings reviewed, x-rays read, next steps discussed.
First-time visits often run longer than recall cleanings. We will not rush a cleaning to meet a schedule if heavy tartar requires staged removal.
Dr. Jeremiah Davis and the Practice
Dr. Davis is a US Army veteran who served with the 82nd Airborne Division at Fort Bragg. His current credential set:
- Master of the Academy of General Dentistry (MAGD)
- Master of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (MICIO)
- Master of the Academy of Osseointegration (AO)
- Fellow of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry (FAAID)
- Diplomate, American Board of Oral Implantology (DABOI/ID)
- Surgical Master of the Interdisciplinary Dental Education Academy
- Dawson Academy Scholar
- Voted Top 40 Dentists Under 40
Most of those are implant and reconstruction credentials. They are not directly relevant to a cleaning. They become relevant if a cleaning ever surfaces something more serious, such as a cracked filling, early gum disease, or a tooth that needs extensive restorative work. The practice can handle the complex cases in-house rather than referring out.
The Types of Cleanings We Provide
Routine Prophylactic Cleaning
Standard six-month cleaning for healthy patients. Above-the-gumline scaling, polishing, fluoride if indicated.
Scaling and Root Planing
For patients with 4mm or deeper gum pockets. Below-the-gumline cleaning under local anesthesia, typically split across two visits.
Periodontal Maintenance
After scaling and root planing, cleanings shift to every three or four months to prevent gum disease recurrence.
Implant Maintenance Cleaning
Implants require non-metal instruments and air polishing with glycine powder. We maintain implants placed by other providers as well as our own.
How Often Should You Schedule a Cleaning?
The American Dental Association recommends cleaning intervals determined by your dentist based on individual risk factors. Most healthy adults are on a six-month schedule. Patients with gum disease, diabetes, smoking history, or rapid tartar buildup typically benefit from every three or four months.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where exactly is your office in Fayetteville?
Our address is 6402 Yadkin Road, Fayetteville, NC 28303. We are on the northwest side of the city, off Bragg Boulevard, about 15 minutes from downtown and roughly the same from most parts of west Fayetteville. The Yadkin Road location keeps us accessible to Fort Liberty families on one side and the I-295 Outer Loop on the other.
Is parking easy?
Yes. We have free on-site parking with spaces right at the entrance. No street parking, no garage, no parking fees. For patients with mobility considerations, the entry is at ground level with accessible spaces close to the front door.
How often should I get a cleaning?
Every six months for most adults with healthy gums. Patients with gum disease, diabetes, a smoking history, or rapid tartar buildup typically benefit from every three to four months. Dr. Davis or your hygienist will tell you what your specific interval should be after the first visit, based on what we see during the periodontal exam.
How long does a cleaning appointment take?
A routine cleaning runs about 45 to 60 minutes for most patients. If it is your first visit with us, plan on 75 to 90 minutes total so we can complete a periodontal exam and any necessary x-rays before the cleaning itself. Deep cleanings and patients who have not seen a dentist in a long time may take longer or be split across two visits.
What if my last cleaning was years ago?
That is genuinely common and you will not be judged for it. The first visit will run longer because we want a complete picture before any cleaning happens: full periodontal exam, x-rays, and a frank conversation about what we found. From there we decide whether one cleaning is enough or whether scaling and root planing across two visits is the right approach. We work at your pace.
Do you accept my insurance?
We are in-network with most major PPO dental insurance plans, but not Medicaid. Call (910) 864-4646 with your specific plan details before your visit and we will verify your benefits in advance. For patients without insurance, the Friends and Family Membership Plan covers two cleanings annually plus discounts on other services.
