The Wells Family Dental Group is pleased to announce the opening of its newest practice, Buffaloe Bend. As the eighth location within the Wells Family Dental network, Buffaloe Bend represents a continued commitment to expanding access to high-quality, patient-centered oral health care throughout the region. Appointments are now available.

A Growing Commitment to the Raleigh Community

Raleigh is the third fastest-growing large city in the United States.1 Northeast Raleigh, in particular, has experienced a surge of residential and commercial development in recent years, with new housing communities, retail centers, and dining options emerging along the Buffaloe Road and Forestville Road corridors. With that growth comes a rising demand for dependable, accessible dental care.

The addition of our Buffaloe Bend location reflects the Wells Family Dental Group’s dedication to meeting that demand head-on, ensuring that more families, professionals, and individuals across the Triangle have a trusted dental home within reach. Each Wells Family Dental location is built on the same foundational principle: excellent oral health begins with a genuine, personal connection between patients and their care team. Buffaloe Bend carries that philosophy forward in a brand-new, state-of-the-art facility designed to deliver a stress-free experience from the moment patients walk through the door.

Conveniently Located in the Heart of Northeast Raleigh

The Buffaloe Bend office sits within the Buffaloe Bend shopping center at the intersection of Buffaloe Road and Forestville Road, anchored by Publix super market and surrounded by a growing mix of retail and service businesses. The location offers easy access from Interstate 540, one of Raleigh’s primary thoroughfares, placing the practice within a short drive of many of the area’s most recognizable landmarks and communities:

  • Nearby neighborhoods. Residents of Hedingham, Forestville, Buffaloe Reserve, the 5401 North community, and the broader northeast Raleigh corridor will find the office especially accessible. The neighboring town of Knightdale, with its own rapidly expanding population, is just minutes away.
  • Shopping and retail. Triangle Town Center, one of Raleigh’s major shopping malls, is a short drive to the west. Knightdale Marketplace, home to retailers such as Target, Walmart Supercenter, and Home Depot, is easily reached to the east. The Buffaloe Bend shopping center itself provides convenient one-stop access to grocery shopping, dining, and other services.
  • Parks and recreation. Buffaloe Road Athletic Park, which features ball fields and the Buffaloe Road Aquatic Center, is located nearby. The Neuse River Greenway Trail, a popular greenway for walking, running, and cycling, offers miles of scenic paths through the area. Families and outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to Marsh Creek Park and Hedingham Golf Club as well.
  • Easy commuter access. Situated between Raleigh’s inner beltline (I-440) and outer loop (I-540), the office is approximately 15 minutes from downtown Raleigh and within easy reach of Research Triangle Park and Raleigh-Durham International Airport.

This central positioning within one of Raleigh’s most active growth corridors means that patients can fit dental appointments seamlessly into their daily routines—whether they are stopping in on the way home from work, between errands at the shopping center, or during a break in their weekend activities.

What Sets Buffaloe Bend Apart

The Buffaloe Bend office offers all of the hallmarks that have distinguished the Wells Family Dental Group across its seven existing locations, while also incorporating the latest advancements in dental practice design and patient comfort. Several core features define the Buffaloe Bend experience:Buffaloe Bend staff assisting patient

  • Individualized care plans: Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach, the clinical team at Buffaloe Bend develops treatment plans that are meticulously tailored to each patient’s unique dental history, goals, and lifestyle. This personalized methodology ensures that every patient receives precisely the level of care their smile requires.
  • Transparent pricing: Financial uncertainty should never serve as a barrier to oral health. Buffaloe Bend operates under a transparent pricing model, meaning patients are informed of costs upfront—before treatment begins. There are no hidden fees, and the team works proactively to ensure patients understand their financial options.
  • Modern, state-of-the-art facilities: The new office has been outfitted with contemporary technology and designed with patient comfort as a central priority. From the reception area to the treatment rooms, the environment is crafted to put patients at ease while enabling the clinical team to deliver precise, efficient care.

Comprehensive Services for Every Member of the Family

The Buffaloe Bend office provides a broad scope of dental services, allowing patients to address preventive, restorative, cosmetic, and specialty needs under one roof. This comprehensive approach reduces the need for referrals to outside providers and ensures continuity of care across every stage of treatment. Services available at the Buffaloe Bend location include:

  • Routine exams and cleanings: Preventive care remains the cornerstone of long-term oral health. Regular examinations allow the clinical team to identify potential concerns—such as early-stage decay, enamel erosion, or changes in soft tissue—before they progress into more complex and costly conditions. Professional cleanings complement daily home care by removing plaque and tartar buildup that brushing and flossing alone cannot fully address.
  • Cosmetic dentistry: For patients seeking to enhance the appearance of their smile, Buffaloe Bend offers a range of cosmetic treatments designed to improve tooth color, alignment, shape, and overall aesthetics.
  • Gum disease therapy: Periodontal disease affects nearly half of all adults in the United States.2 If left untreated, it can lead to tissue damage, bone loss, and eventual tooth loss. The Buffaloe Bend team provides targeted gum disease therapies aimed at halting the progression of periodontal conditions, restoring gum health, and helping patients maintain stable results over time.
  • Pediatric dentistry. Establishing positive dental habits early in life is critical to a child’s long-term oral health. The Buffaloe Bend office is equipped to care for younger patients in an environment designed to be welcoming and age-appropriate, helping children build comfort and confidence with dental visits from an early age.
  • Sedation dentistry. Dental anxiety is a well-documented barrier to care, preventing many individuals from seeking the treatment they need. Buffaloe Bend offers sedation dentistry options for patients who experience significant apprehension, ensuring that necessary procedures can be completed comfortably and without undue stress.
  • TMJ treatment. Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders can cause chronic jaw pain, headaches, difficulty chewing, and other symptoms that diminish quality of life. The clinical team at Buffaloe Bend is trained to evaluate and treat TMJ-related conditions, providing relief through individualized therapeutic approaches tailored to each patient’s diagnosis.
