Farrar Amy Taborn DDS

Dentists in downtown Durham tend to cluster near the courthouse, but one has held its ground on Fayetteville Street for years. Farrar Amy Taborn DDS keeps regular hours without the weekend rush some offices adopt.

You’ll find them at 601 Fayetteville St, Durham, NC 27701—just past the old post office and a short walk from the farmers market. The practice handles everything from routine cleanings to crowns and root canals, so most local patients don’t need to bounce between specialists. If you’re scheduling a visit, call (919) 688-8949; they usually answer between nine and five.

Preventive care still makes up the bulk of what they do—exams, X-rays, and fillings—while cosmetic work like whitening and veneers gets booked farther out. Emergencies, of course, jump the queue, so don’t hesitate to ring if a tooth decides to act up on a Friday afternoon.

For directions, pull up the map before you head over; Fayetteville can throw a one-way curveball when you least expect it.
