If you live in Spout Springs, Cameron, Lobelia, or the Overhills area of northern Harnett County, our office is about 23 miles south of you in Fayetteville, off the NC-87 corridor. Drive time is around 30 to 35 minutes depending on which Spout Springs neighborhood you start from. That puts us in the practical-commute band: not your closest option, but not a major haul either.
Dr. Jeremiah Davis has practiced dentistry in Fayetteville for over twenty years. He is a United States Army veteran, a Master of the Academy of General Dentistry, a Master of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists, and a Fellow of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry. The practice handles routine cleanings, complex implant work, and everything in between under one roof.
Spout Springs Sits 23 Miles From Our Office
Spout Springs has grown substantially over the last decade as families have spilled north from Fort Liberty into northern Harnett County. The community now sits between Anderson Creek to the south and the Lillington line to the north, with Carvers Creek State Park forming the western edge. Many Spout Springs residents work at Fort Liberty or in Fayetteville, which means the drive to our office on Yadkin Road is along familiar routes.
Three reasons Spout Springs families pick us:
- One practice for the whole family long term.Children, teens, parents, grandparents. Cleanings, fillings, braces, implants, sedation. The credentials cover the full range so you do not have to maintain relationships with multiple specialists.
- Davis's veteran service.Spout Springs has a substantial active-duty and retired military population. Dr. Davis served in the Army and the practice culture is built around that background without making a performance of it.
- Master-level implant credentials.Spout Springs has good local family dentists for routine work. The reason patients drive past them to come to us is usually implants, reconstruction, or complex restorative work.
What a Professional Dental Cleaning Includes
Every cleaning visit starts with a periodontal exam: the hygienist measures the depth of the gum tissue at six points around each tooth, takes x-rays if they are due, and identifies any areas needing attention before the cleaning itself begins. From there: plaque and tartar removal above and below the gumline depending on what is needed, polishing, fluoride if indicated, and a conversation about what was found.
For families bringing multiple people in one visit (common from Spout Springs), we coordinate the appointments so you can keep the whole family on a single drive.
Dr. Jeremiah Davis: Veteran, Credentialed, Local
Dr. Davis is a United States Army veteran who has practiced in Fayetteville for over twenty years. His credentials:
- Master of the Academy of General Dentistry (MAGD): 1,100 hours of continuing education over fifteen years.
- Master of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (MICOI).
- Fellow of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry (FAAID).
- Diplomate of the American Board of Oral Implantology (DABOI/ID).
- Master of the Academy of Osseointegration (AO).
- Surgical Master of the Interdisciplinary Dental Education Academy.
- Dawson Academy Scholar.
For most Spout Springs families, the credentials may not matter for the routine six-month cleaning. They matter the moment something more complex comes up: a cracked filling, gum disease, an implant decision. 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 patients with healthy gums. Above-the-gumline scaling, polishing, and fluoride if indicated. 45 to 60 minutes.
Scaling and Root Planing (Deep Cleaning)
For patients with periodontal pockets of 4 mm or deeper. Local anesthesia, scaling below the gumline, and smoothing the root surfaces. Usually split across two visits.
Periodontal Maintenance
After scaling and root planing, you transition to every three or four months instead of every six. Skipping this is the most common reason early gum disease comes back.
Gross Debridement
For patients who have not been to a dentist in several years. Heavy tartar deposits are often staged across multiple appointments.
Implant Maintenance Cleaning
Non-metal instruments and air polishing with glycine powder. We maintain implants from any provider.
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. Children follow the six-month schedule once their first tooth comes in.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long is the drive from Spout Springs to your office?
About 23 miles, 30 to 35 minutes via NC-87 South through Anderson Creek and Spring Lake. For Spout Springs residents who already drive into Fayetteville for work or errands, our office is on the same route. Carvers Creek State Park sits roughly halfway along NC-87 if you need a landmark.
Should I just go to a dentist in Spout Springs or Anderson Creek?
If you only need routine cleanings and nothing more, a closer dentist is the more practical choice. The drive to us starts to make sense if you want master-credentialed implant or reconstruction work, if you want a veteran-led practice, or if you need a dentist who can handle complex cases in-house rather than referring out to specialists. We would rather be honest about that than convince you of something that does not serve you.
What if my child is anxious about the dentist?
Dental anxiety is common in children and there are several ways to make the visit easier. We schedule longer first appointments for kids to take the time slowly and let them get comfortable with the chair, the tools, and the hygienist before the cleaning starts. For children who need more help, sedation options range from oral medication to nitrous oxide. Tell us about the anxiety when you book and we will plan the visit accordingly.
How often should my family schedule cleanings?
Every six months is the baseline for children, teens, and most adults. Patients with gum disease, diabetes, smoking history, or fast tartar buildup may benefit from every three or four months. Your hygienist will give you a specific recommendation for each family member after the first periodontal exam.
Do you accept my insurance?
We work with most major PPO dental insurance plans. We do not accept Medicaid. For families without insurance or with insurance benefits exhausted, the Friends and Family Membership Plan covers two cleanings annually plus discounts on other services. Call (910) 864-4646 with your specific plan details and we will verify your benefits before your visit.
Can I bring the whole family to one appointment?
Yes. Family blocks are common for our out-of-town patients. Tell us how many family members you want to bring and what ages, and we will schedule the appointments back-to-back or in parallel chairs to keep the whole visit on one drive. The front desk will work with you to find the slots.
