Advanced Dentistry in Durham

Advanced dentistry is the heart of what Dr. Fleming does. It is the careful, functional work of getting your bite right, easing jaw strain, and protecting your teeth, the kind of dentistry that changes how your whole mouth feels and lasts.

Our philosophy

It starts with your bite.

How your teeth meet, your occlusion, affects everything from daily comfort to how long your teeth last. Many practices treat the symptoms. Dr. Fleming treats the cause.

With advanced training through the Pankey Institute, he looks at the whole system, teeth, muscles, and jaw joints, and makes small, precise adjustments that let everything work together.
