— His story
Dr. Fleming grew up in North Carolina and has made Durham home for the past decade. He studied at UNC Chapel Hill and East Carolina University, then completed advanced training at the Pankey Institute, where he learned to treat the whole bite rather than one tooth at a time.
That grounding shows up in how he practices today. As the restorative dentist Durham families have come to rely on, Dr. Fleming takes an unhurried approach, understanding how your teeth work together before recommending any treatment, so the results hold up for years to come.
— How he practices
Every visit starts with a simple question: how does your bite actually work? Dr. Fleming examines the way your teeth meet, wear, and function together before recommending any restorative or cosmetic treatment, so nothing is treated in isolation.
This bite-first philosophy is why he has become the restorative dentist Durham patients seek out for lasting results, whether that means a single crown, a full smile rebuild, or simply making sure a new filling feels right when you bite down.
— Training and continuing education
Dr. Fleming continues advanced training year after year through The Pankey Institute, Spear Education, and local study clubs, staying current on the latest techniques in restorative and cosmetic dentistry.

— Outside the office
When he steps away from the practice, Dr. Fleming can usually be found outdoors around Durham, spending time with family, or staying active. That same sense of balance and genuine care shows up in how he treats every patient who sits in his chair.
