Why the experience is different

Dentistry that doesn't feel like dentistry.

Three generations of trust.Dr. Nelams has cared for Lumberton since 1994. Dr. DuBois and Dr. Tran carry that same standard forward, so there's always a familiar face and a second opinion down the hall.

Staff who remember your name.Our front desk, hygienists, and assistants are the reason patients say "we feel like family here." Kind, patient, and never in a hurry to get you out the door.

Care that's explained, not rushed.You'll know what we found, what it means, and what it costs before anything happens. Nervous? Sedation options are available.

Modern care without the clinical feel.Digital imaging, cone beam CT and intraoral cameras help our doctors see more, explain more and make your visit as comfortable and efficient as possible.

"We built this place so nobody has to dread the dentist. Come in, ask questions, and let us take good care of you."
