As a family-owned and operated clinic, they emphasize a personalized and patient-centered approach to dental care, aiming to make every patient feel at home. Dr. Ulloa's wife also works at the practice, further enhancing the family atmosphere. The clinic offers a comprehensive range of dental services, including routine check-ups and cleanings, children's dentistry, fluoride treatments, and dental sealants for preventive care. For restorative needs, they provide tooth-colored fillings, crowns, bridges, and advanced solutions like dental implants. Crafting Smiles also specializes in cosmetic dentistry, offering veneers, metal-free dental restorations, cosmetic bonding, and professional teeth whitening (Zoom! in-office and Opalescence take-home kits) to enhance smiles. They are equipped to handle dental emergencies with same-day appointments available. Crafting Smiles integrates advanced dental technology to improve patient experience and treatment outcomes. This includes a Planmeca CT/Cone Beam Scanner for precise treatment planning (especially for dental implants and root canals), iTero scanners for comfortable digital impressions (replacing traditional messy putty), and intraoral cameras to help patients better understand their oral health and recommended treatments. A notable aspect of Crafting Smiles is their commitment to providing trustworthy care. Dr. Ulloa and his team adhere to "The Golden Rule," ensuring they only recommend treatments they would pursue for their own families. They also provide services in both English and Spanish ("Se Habla Español"), making dental care accessible to a broader community. The clinic's hours are generally Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm, with Fridays closed. New patients can easily request appointments online.

Recently had my teeth cleaning appointment & xrays. Kimberly my dental hygienist was so nice & compassionate & complimented me on how good I was doing caring for my teeth. Dr Ulloa is a great dentist, took time with me during my appt. The staff have a real “team spirit” helping each other out.

Probably the most comprehensive cleaning and exam I’ve ever had. Beth was great with the cleaning. Great use of technology for completing paperwork ahead of time, as well as during the appointment. Doctor explained everything well. I look forward to continuing with this practice!

Upon arrival, I was warmly welcomed by Joyce whose radiant spirit & smile set a positive tone for my visit immediately. Beth was incredibly professional & demonstrated a high level of expertise during my cleaning. The meticulous attention to detail made my teeth feel remarkably smooth & clean. The combination of a welcoming atmosphere & outstanding service is truly commendable.

Dr. Ulloa is the best dentist in Durham.

I can’t say enough good things about Crafting Smiles! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and at ease. The front desk staff is warm, professional, and always goes above and beyond to make scheduling easy and convenient. A special shoutout to my dental hygienist, Kimberly—she is truly the best! She’s gentle, thorough, and always takes the time to explain what she’s doing and why. I genuinely look forward to my cleanings because of her.

She’s warm, professional, and clearly passionate about what she does. The office is modern, clean, and equipped with the latest technology, which really adds to the overall experience. I’ve never been more confident in my dental care, and I’m so thankful I found Crafting Smiles. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a dental office that truly lives up to its name!
