Is the Drive From Sanford Worth It?

Sanford is about 36 miles south of our office, roughly a 51-minute drive on US-401. That is a real trip, and we are not going to pretend it is short. So the fair question is why a Sanford patient would make that drive when there are general dentists in Lee County.

For routine dentistry, you should not. A cleaning, a filling, even a basic denture remake usually does not justify the drive. Stay close to home for those.

There are specific cases where the drive is worth it, and those are the ones this page is about.

When the Drive Makes Sense (and When It Does Not)

Routine removable dentures

A standard upper or lower removable denture is a procedure most experienced general dentists handle well. If the practice closest to you in Sanford has denture experience, that is probably your better option. The drive does not pay back here.

Implant-supported and full-arch cases

Implant-supported dentures and All-on-4 are surgical procedures that require advanced training, specialized imaging equipment, and case experience. The dentists who do them at volume are concentrated in larger markets. For Sanford, that means Fayetteville or the Triangle.

Patients who choose to drive to us for these cases are typically choosing on credentials, case experience, and the fact that we do everything (extractions, implant placement, the prosthetic, follow-up) in one office. You do not bounce between an oral surgeon, a periodontist, and a prosthodontist.

Failed-implant or revision cases

If a previous implant case did not go well (the implant failed, the prosthetic does not fit right, you have lost bone and need to start over), you want a dentist whose specialty is exactly this kind of case. Dr. Davis sees these regularly. They are technically demanding, and the credentialing exists in implant dentistry precisely because they are.

Dr. Davis's Implant Credentials

For implant work, the credentials that matter are these: Master of the Academy of General Dentistry (MAGD), 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 (MICOI), and Master of the Academy of Osseointegration (AO). Dr. Davis holds all five.

The DABOI/ID is the gold standard board certification for implant dentistry in the United States, held by a small percentage of dentists nationally. Combined with the four mastership credentials and Dawson Academy scholar training in occlusion and full-mouth reconstruction, this represents about a decade of post-dental-school continuing education focused specifically on dental implants and full-arch restoration.

Dr. Davis is also a US Army veteran. For Sanford patients with a military background or family connection to Fort Liberty (about 50 miles south), that connection often matters.

What Your Visit Looks Like

Because of the drive, we structure visits to minimize trips. Your first appointment is a full consultation: exam, 3D scan, photos, bite imprint, and a written treatment plan with cost estimates before you leave. We will tell you honestly whether your case is one where the drive is worth it.

From there, we group procedures where possible. For an implant case, that typically means: surgery day (extractions and implant placement), healing period, abutment and prosthetic placement, then a final fit check.

Cost, Insurance, and Financing

We give you a written estimate at the consultation, before any treatment starts. We accept most major dental insurance plans (call to confirm yours). For uninsured patients, our Friends and Family Membership Plan covers preventive care and offers a discount on procedures. CareCredit financing is available for cases where insurance does not cover the balance.

Sedation Options

A 51-minute drive followed by an implant procedure is a long day. Sedation can make it manageable, especially for patients who have been putting off dental work for years.

Oral sedation: a pill before your appointment. You stay awake but relaxed. Plan for a driver, especially given the drive home.
Nitrous oxide (laughing gas): wears off within minutes after your appointment. You can drive yourself home.
IV sedation: for full-arch implant placement, complex grafting, or serious dental anxiety. You sleep through the procedure and need a driver.

For Sanford patients on IV sedation days, plan to have a family member drive you both ways or stay with someone closer to Fayetteville. Discuss logistics at consultation.

Getting Here From Sanford

Sanford to our office at 6402 Yadkin Road is about 36 miles and roughly 51 minutes via US-401 South.

From central Sanford, US-401 runs straight south through Lillington, Spring Lake, and into Fayetteville. About a mile or two before downtown Fayetteville, you turn onto Bragg Boulevard or the All American Freeway and follow it to Yadkin Road. The route is a continuous state highway with no toll segments.

The US-401 corridor moves well outside of weekday rush hours. For weekday afternoon appointments, plan extra buffer through the Spring Lake stretch where local traffic can slow the drive.

The practice is on Yadkin Road in the Bonnie Doone area of northwest Fayetteville, near the Fort Liberty perimeter. Use your GPS for live traffic and the final approach.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the drive really worth it?

Honest answer: depends on your case. For a standard removable denture, probably not. For implant-supported dentures, All-on-4, full-arch reconstruction, or a redo of a previous implant case, yes. We will tell you which category you are in at the consultation. We have no interest in you driving 51 minutes for work you could get done well closer to home.

How many appointments will I need?

A standard removable denture is about 4 appointments over 4 to 6 weeks. An implant-supported case runs 4 to 6 visits over 3 to 6 months, longer if grafting is needed. We coordinate scheduling to consolidate visits where feasible.

How much do dentures cost?

Costs depend on the type of denture, materials, whether you need extractions or grafting first, and sedation needs. We give you a written estimate at the consultation. We do not quote prices over the phone because every case differs and a number quoted without an exam is rarely accurate.

Do you accept my dental insurance?

We accept most major dental insurance plans. Call our front desk with your specific plan and we confirm acceptance and benefits before your visit.

Can you do everything in one office?

Yes. Extractions, bone grafting, implant placement, denture fabrication, and follow-up care all happen in our Fayetteville office. The only exception is rare cases that need a hospital setting; we refer those out and stay involved.

What if my case turns out to be more complex than I came in for?

We tell you. If imaging at consultation shows something different from what you came in expecting (more bone loss than visible, a sinus issue, a previous restoration that needs to come out), we walk through the revised plan and the revised cost before any treatment starts. No surprise bills, no surprise procedures.
