Parkway Dental Center

Up an extra block from the Food Lion on 15-501 sits the unassuming strip mall anchoring Falling Springs Drive. It’s the kind of place Chapel Hill locals pass by a dozen times without noticing the modest sign tucked between the design studio and the insurance office. Parkway Dental Center keeps things compact but focused on the essentials—from routine cleanings to more targeted treatments like gum therapy or tooth-colored fillings. Behind the frosted-glass door, you’ll find the tools of the trade lined up for both prevention and precision. The office sits at 79 Falling Springs Dr #110, just past the PTA building on the left-hand curve. That same line of shops hosts a handful of businesses where students and faculty duck in between classes. After hours, it’s mostly a quiet stretch, save for the odd ping of a teller next door or the café carousel down the hill. Need to dial in? Reach them at (919) 636-9717, direct and without routing. Most appointments schedule over the phone first, then you’re in and out before the morning coffee rush catches up. The map with exact directions leads from Franklin Street straight down Fordham Boulevard; turning right at the stoplight after Southern Village landed folks in the right parking aisle every time. The doorbell chime still doesn’t carry past the entryway, but inside the ceiling lights hum overhead regardless of who’s running the calendar.
