Dr. Marc Lafrance, DDS

Dr. Marc Lafrance, DDS occupies the Fulton Street corridor in Durham, where dental care centers tend to anchor small commercial strips. The practice sits on the second floor of a mid-rise, making the elevator a common prelude to routine cleanings or more involved restorative work. Across the street, a remodeler’s yard and a co-working space hint at the mixed rhythm of the neighborhood—part professional, part transitional.

Hygiene visits, fillings, and crowns share the appointment calendar with implant consultations and periodic oral-cancer screenings. Younger patients often arrive with parents for sealants or fluoride treatments, while older adults schedule dentures or partials when needed. X-rays still anchor diagnosis, but the practice emphasizes low-dose digital imaging and clear follow-up explanations.

The building’s rear entrance on North Duke Street shows why GPS sometimes stalls before it catches the address again. Parking validation isn’t part of the routine; street and garage spots shift with the nearby food-truck lunch hour, so arriving a few minutes early can simplify the search.

If the printer in the lobby jams or an after-hours emergency arises, dial *(919) 286-0411* and press extension 0 for the answering service. Directions and floor details are on the map here.
