About Southpoint Dentistry
Southpoint Dentistry is a dental practice on Fayetteville Road in Durham, North Carolina. A dental implant replaces a missing tooth at the root, not just the crown — a small titanium post is placed in the jaw bone and, once it has integrated over a period of months, a replacement tooth is attached to it. It is generally the most durable option for a single missing tooth or several.
A veneer is a thin custom shell bonded to the front of a tooth to change its shape, length, or colour, most often used to address chips, gaps, or discoloration that whitening alone cannot fix. Traditional veneers require a small amount of enamel to be removed, which makes the change permanent.
Cosmetic dentistry covers treatment aimed primarily at appearance — whitening, veneers, bonding, and reshaping among the more common options — for patients who are less concerned with a problem that hurts than with how their smile looks day to day. The right combination depends on what specifically you would like to change.
Emergency dental care covers sudden problems that will not wait for a routine appointment — severe pain, a knocked-out or fractured tooth, swelling, or a lost filling that leaves a tooth exposed. Same-day or urgent appointments are the point of an emergency service, rather than the standard multi-week booking window.
Professional teeth whitening uses a peroxide-based gel, applied under supervision at a strength stronger than anything sold over the counter, to lift years of staining from coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco. It works on natural enamel only — existing crowns, veneers, and fillings keep whatever shade they were made in.
At the core of a general dental practice is preventive and restorative care: checkups, professional cleanings, fillings, and screening for decay and gum disease before either becomes a bigger problem. It is the kind of appointment most people need on a routine schedule rather than only when something hurts.

Doctor and all the staff are very patient and nice.I feel very comfortable.All my Family comes here.I recommend.
I was initially very hesitant about getting a dental implant because it was my upper right #5 tooth, which is close to the sinus, and I even considered seeing an implant specialist. After meeting with Dr. Li Qian and discussing my CBCT findings and treatment plan in detail, I felt reassured by her professionalism, confidence, and thorough explanations. The implant surgery went much better than I expected. There was almost no bleeding, very little pain, and my recovery has been remarkably smooth. Dr. Qian is highly skilled, patient, and took the time to answer all of my questions, which gave me great confidence throughout the entire process. I'm very happy with my experience and truly appreciate the excellent care I received. I highly recommend Dr. Qian to anyone considering dental implant treatment.
My procedure went well. I wish they were totally up front with the price. Telling me that I was responsible for 187 of the amount but not telling me that I would have to pay that amount twice,or that it was a 2 part procedure.
Southpoint Dentistry in Durham, Dr. Qian, and her staff are very professional and extremely caring. Dr. Qian took time to listen to my medical concerns related to my dental issues. She even contacted my PCP to verify meds to use. She was very thorough with this 75 year old with various dental needs. Procedure completed with very little pain. Staff went the extra mile by calling in meds to pharmacy and calling my family that I was ready to be picked up. I highly recommend Southpoint Dentistry for your dental needs. The end product was so wonderful it made me cry with joy. See picture below.
Had a great experience from start to finish! The front desk staff was friendly and welcoming. The dental assistant and hygienist, Angela (I believe that was her name), did an amazing job with my cleaning. She was very gentle and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire appointment. Dr. Qian was very knowledgeable, took the time to explain everything during my examination, and let me know what to expect and keep an eye on in the future. I truly appreciated the excellent care from the entire team and would definitely recommend this office!
Very friendly staff. The cleaning was gentle but through. I am glad they were able to see me quickly. My appointment was made only a week in advance. I had chipped a tooth and had moved recently, so I needed a new dentist. I was overdue on my cleaning so they knocked that out as well. The whole appointment was only 35 or so minutes. I was surprised, as they covered and did a lot in that time. Thank you for the great care.
I had a great experience with Dr Qian. I had an implant placed I was nervous and scared that it will take long and hurt. But no that was not the case. She was done quickly and throughly. I barely felt her working on me. The price was reasonable with my insurance. I'm so glad I choose southpoint dentistry as my dentist. I highly recommend them. The front receptionist are kind and welcoming.
Look no further you found the right place! I was 5 years overdue for a cleaning and exam and scared to take this step to get back on track but really needed to do it. All of the staff is very friendly and made me feel at home. I did not get scolded or feel uncomfortable not once. My appointment was on time I only waited 10 minutes for my turn. They use a water cleaning system that was totally painless. The hygienist is very gentle and cleaning was way faster than I expected so no dry lips and sore jaw. The dentist is fantastic and checked all my teeth. I do have some gum recess that she said we can talk about on my next visit in 6 months. There is new procedures that can be done that are surgery free so I’m looking forward to working on that next. I want to say thank you to all of the staff for being friendly and kind. In my 65 years, this has been by far the best dental experience I’ve had!!!
