Open Wide Family Dentistry

Durham’s Open Wide Family Dentistry sits off Sherron Road, tucked between a used-car lot and a strip of older retail. The practice handles check-ups, cleanings, fillings, crowns, bridges, and even emergency visits when teeth take a sudden turn for the worse. They wheel out digital X-rays on the spot and keep a steady flow of masks and gloves in stock—routine stuff, but it matters when molars start to protest. A short jog from downtown, the address reads 121 Sherron Rd #108, Durham, NC 27703 if you’re coming from 147 or 15-501.

Family is the keyword here; they’ll see kids after school for sealants or space maintainers and still book grandma for a partial on the same day. Fillings get finished in one visit most weeks, and the front desk can usually pencil you in within a couple of weeks when it’s not an abscess. They toggle between simple fillings and more intricate crown prep without batting an eyelash, so referrals flow in when neighbors get quoted six-month waits elsewhere.

They still answer a real line instead of hiding behind voicemail: (919) 598-0780. It’s less of a corporate menu and more of a direct line that rings straight to scheduling, so you skip the automated rabbit hole. A quick call in the morning or afternoon usually lands you the next open slot, no portal required.
