A Veteran-Led Practice for Fort Liberty Patients
The Teeth Doctors sits on the eastern edge of Fort Liberty at 6402 Yadkin Road, a 5 to 15 minute drive from most of the base depending on which gate you use. Dr. Jeremiah Davis is a U.S. Army veteran who served as a captain in the 82nd Airborne Division at this installation. He went on to build one of the most credentialed implant practices in the state, with implant-related credentials held by only a handful of dentists in North Carolina. For Fort Liberty retirees, veterans, military families, and DoD civilians looking at overdentures, this is a practice that understands both the patient and the procedure.
Active-duty service members typically receive dental care through Womack Army Medical Center. The Fort Liberty overdenture patient population at our practice is mostly retirees, veterans, military spouses, and DoD civilians who live in Spring Lake, the Linden corridor, or Fayetteville neighborhoods that border the installation. Many of our patients have a connection to the base that goes back decades.
Dr. Davis built the practice intentionally to serve this community. The practice address on Yadkin Road sits within a couple of miles of the eastern boundary of the base. The team is comfortable with the cadence of military life, including the reality that patients sometimes need flexibility around PCS moves, deployments returning, or appointment scheduling that works around a family member's service obligations.

Credentials That Match the Caliber of the Community
Dr. Jeremiah C. Davis, DDS, MBA, holds the following dental credentials in addition to his Army service:
- United States Army veteran, 82nd Airborne Division
- Master of the Academy of General Dentistry (MAGD), held by fewer than 2 percent of general dentists in the U.S. and Canada
- Diplomate of the American Board of Oral Implantology (DABOI/ID), held by only 8 dentists in the entire state of North Carolina
- Fellow of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry (FAAID)
- Master of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (MICIO)
- Master of the Academy of Osseointegration (AO)
- Surgical Master of the Interdisciplinary Dental Education Academy, held by only 8 dentists in the United States
- Dawson Academy Scholar
- Named one of America's "Top 40 Dentists Under 40" by Incisal Edge magazine
- DDS from UNC Chapel Hill School of Dentistry, MBA from UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School
These are not honorary or paid memberships. Each requires extensive continuing education, supervised case volume, and in most cases a board-level examination. The DABOI/ID is the highest credential in implant dentistry recognized in the United States.
What Are Overdentures?
An overdenture is a removable denture that locks onto two or more dental implants in your jawbone. Unlike a conventional denture that rests on your gums and depends on suction or adhesive, an overdenture clips onto small attachment points anchored in bone. The denture does not slip while you eat, does not click while you talk, and does not allow the underlying jawbone to shrink the way a long-term conventional denture does.
Overdentures are appropriate for patients missing all or most of their teeth in an arch, or for patients whose current dentures have become loose because the underlying jawbone has resorbed over years of wear. They cost less than fixed full-arch solutions like All-on-4 because they use fewer implants (typically 2 to 4 per arch) and the denture is removable rather than permanently fixed.
Implant-Supported vs. Tooth-Supported Overdentures
Implant-supported. Two to four implants in the jawbone anchor the denture. Default option for most overdenture cases.
Tooth-supported. If you still have a few healthy natural teeth, they can be prepared as anchors instead of placing all-implants. Appropriate in a smaller share of cases. Dr. Davis confirms the right option for your case at the consultation.
Your Overdenture Treatment Plan
- Consultation and 3D CBCT scan. 60 to 90 minutes. Clinical exam, imaging, goals discussion, written treatment plan and cost estimate.
- Treatment design and surgical guide. Implant positions are mapped before any surgery. A surgical guide is fabricated for precise placement.
- Implant placement. 60 to 90 minutes per arch under local anesthesia, with sedation available on request.
- Healing period. 3 to 6 months for bone integration. Interim denture worn during this time.
- Final impressions and overdenture fabrication. Custom denture made to fit your bite and your face.
- Delivery and adjustment. Final overdenture fitted and adjusted. Brief follow-up to confirm comfort.
Caring for Your Overdentures
- Remove the overdenture once a day for cleaning with a soft brush and non-abrasive cleaner.
- Brush around the implant abutments and your remaining gum tissue daily.
- Soak overnight in water or a denture-cleaning solution.
- Twice-yearly cleanings and attachment checks at the practice.
- Call us right away for any looseness, breakage, or irritation.

Common Questions From Fort Liberty Patients
Is The Teeth Doctors a veteran-owned practice?
Yes. Dr. Jeremiah Davis served as a captain in the U.S. Army's 82nd Airborne Division at this installation before completing dental school at UNC Chapel Hill and building the practice.
Does the practice accept Tricare or VA dental benefits?
Tricare dental benefits and VA dental coverage vary widely by individual circumstance, retirement status, service-connected disability rating, and program enrollment. We work with most major dental insurance plans and can run your specific benefits before treatment. For patients whose coverage does not include implants or overdentures, the practice accepts CareCredit financing and offers the Friends and Family Membership Plan as an alternative.
How many visits will I need during treatment?
Most patients have 4 to 6 visits during the active treatment phase, then twice-yearly maintenance after delivery. The longest part of the process is the 3 to 6 month healing period after implant placement, during which you wear an interim denture.
How close is the office to the base?
Roughly 5 to 15 minutes depending on the gate you use. The practice is on the eastern edge of Fort Liberty at 6402 Yadkin Road. Many patients arrive in under 10 minutes from the housing areas off Reilly Road or Bragg Boulevard.
Can the practice accommodate appointments around military work schedules?
Yes. Office hours are Monday through Thursday 9 AM to 4 PM and Friday 10 AM to 4 PM. For active-duty family members or DoD civilians with limited windows, we work to schedule the consultation visit and follow-ups around your duty hours where possible.
