Dr. John E. Hickory, DMD

Dental care doesn’t always top the list of favorite errands, but finding a reliable office makes all the difference. Dr. John E. Hickory, DMD offers routine check-ups, cleanings, and restorative work right in downtown Wilmington. The practice handles everything from fillings and crowns to preventive care, so whether it’s a twice-yearly exam or a sudden toothache, the team keeps things running smoothly.

Ann Street sits just off the riverfront, where the historic brick storefronts give way to quiet side streets. That’s where you’ll find the office at 412 Ann St Wilmington, NC 28401, tucked between a bookshop and a small café. The block feels more neighborhood than tourist hub, which can make squeezing in an appointment feel a little less like a chore.

Most visits start with a quick call to lock in a time. Cleanings and X-rays usually book up fastest, so it’s worth phoning ahead if you’re due for a check-up. Same-day slots sometimes open up for urgent issues, though those tend to fill quickly—especially on weekdays when downtown offices are humming.

When the calendar finally lines up, pull up the map to double-check the side-street parking. If you end up circling, give the front desk a ring at (910) 763-8163—they’ll usually hold the door for a couple extra minutes while you find a spot.
