Dr. Caitlin Singleton

Routine cleanings and unexpected toothaches don’t wait for convenient moments. Dr. Caitlin Singleton keeps a dental chair open in south Durham for both—without the downtown traffic or parking hassles. The practice handles everything from preventive exams to fillings, crowns, and emergency extractions, so patients can skip the referral shuffle.

You’ll find the clinic at 4208 S Alston Ave, a low-slung brick building tucked between a barbershop and a dry cleaner on the edge of Hope Valley. The strip is the kind of place where neighbors drop in for a trim and end up scheduling their next cleaning; it’s walkable from several apartment complexes and just a short drive from Jordan High School. Sidewalks are narrow, but the lot is usually half-empty by mid-morning.

Most visits start with a call to (919) 544-5620—same number for new patients, last-minute cancellations, or a chipped tooth on a Sunday evening. They’ll slot you in quickly for urgent issues; routine check-ups can often be booked within a week. X-rays, sealants, and simple cosmetic whitening are all handled in-house, so there’s no need to coordinate multiple offices.

Directions are straightforward on the map, though Alston can get backed up during school drop-off. If you’re coming from the highway, take the Cornwallis exit and you’ll hit the office before the first light.
