Dr. Jody Morse, DDS
Dr. Jody Morse is a graduate of the University of Illinois College of Dentistry, earning her degree in 1998. Her journey in dentistry began in 1989 as a dental assistant, and since then, she has been dedicated to patient care. Driven by a passion for serving others, she has contributed significantly to the field, including teaching dental hygiene in Jacksonville, North Carolina, and providing complimentary dental care to immunocompromised patients through a university hospital in Illinois.
As the lead diagnostician in her practice, Dr. Jody personally attends to both new and returning patients for comprehensive exams. Renowned for her gentle and friendly chairside manner, she prioritizes spending ample time with each individual to address their questions and educate them about their dental health, fostering a collaborative partnership. Dr. Jody takes immense pride in the enduring relationships she has cultivated with her "family" of patients over the years.
Beyond her professional endeavors, Dr. Jody shares her life with her husband, Dr. Mike, and they relocated from the bustling streets of Chicago to the serene countryside of North Carolina in 2005. Residing on a picturesque horse farm in Stokesdale, the couple, along with their two nephews, two horses, two dogs, and two cats, have created a warm and inviting home. In her leisure time, Dr. Jody indulges her passion for equestrian pursuits, actively participating as an amateur in dressage competitions, a testament to her multifaceted and fulfilling life both inside and outside of the dental practice.
Dr. Mike Doyle, DDS
Meet Dr. Mike Doyle, who discovered his passion for all things teeth at an early age while toiling away in his father’s dental lab. In fact, he has NEVER had a job that didn’t involve teeth. When his father would not give him a raise, he went off to Graduate from the University of Illinois College of Dentistry. Dr. Mike did not stop there going on to receive a fellowship at the Academy of GP Orthodontics, completing the Nash Esthetics continuum, and becoming a founding member of the prestigious Spear Elite study club. His obsession with continuing education is ridiculous actually.
Dr. Mike’s focus now is Cosmetic Dentistry and complex full-mouth rehabilitations. His ultimate goal? To treat every patient he sees as he would want to be treated himself, and have every patient proud to walk away with the Smile they have always dreamed of.
When he is not building smiles, Mike and his wife/partner in crime Dr. Jody, spend their time on their own version of a petting zoo. Horses, dogs, cats, sons, and whatever Dr. Jody happens to bring home that day. Mike enjoys time on his tractor mowing fields or just hiding from the general mayhem. He also is an aficionado of good old classic rock
So, whether you need a dental miracle or want to talk about Led Zepplin, Dr. Mike is your guy.

How we help
Just about anything you need under one roof.
Full-Mouth Reconstruction
Full-mouth reconstruction, full-mouth rehabilitation, and full-mouth restoration are terms often used interchangeably to describe the process of rebuilding or restoring all of the teeth in both the upper and lower jaws simultaneously. Your dentist, who has years of experience working with the materials and procedures related to full-mouth reconstruction, will develop a plan that addresses all your needs and will leave you with a perfect smile, ideal bite, and optimal function.
You may be a candidate for full-mouth reconstruction if:
- Your teeth have been lost due to decay or trauma
- Your teeth have been injured or fractured
- Your teeth have become severely worn because of long-term acid erosion (from foods, beverages, or acid reflux)
- You have ongoing jaw, muscle, or headache pain related to your bite
Implants
People are living longer than ever, and while regular brushing, flossing, and checkups allow many of us to maintain our natural smiles for a lifetime, sometimes our teeth just can't keep up. If you've lost a tooth (or a few teeth) due to injury or disease, dental implants can rejuvenate both your smile and your oral health.
An implant is a synthetic tooth root in the shape of a post that is surgically placed into the jawbone. The “root” is usually made of titanium: the same material used in many replacement hips and knees, and a metal that is well-suited to pairing with human bone. A replacement tooth is then fixed to the post. The tooth can be either permanently attached or removable. Permanent teeth are more stable and feel more like natural teeth.
The ideal candidate for implants is a non-smoker who has good oral health, including a sufficient amount of bone in the jaw, and healthy gums with no sign of gum disease.
Cracked Teeth
Because we live longer and more stressful lives today, we are exposing our teeth to many more years of potentially damaging habits such as clenching, grinding, and chewing on hard objects.
These habits make our teeth more susceptible to cracks. Your endodontist may treat a cracked tooth to prevent further damage to the tooth structure and tissue.
Cracked teeth do not always show any visible signs of damage, but may present a variety of symptoms, including erratic pain when you chew with them, and pain or sensitivity to heat and cold. In many cases, the pain may come and go, making it difficult for your doctor to locate the source.
Traumatic Dental Injuries
While most traumatic dental injuries occur in children and teenagers, people of all ages can be affected, usually as a result of sports mishaps, automobile accidents, or bad falls. If you've experienced a traumatic dental injury it is important to visit your endodontist in order to determine any necessary treatment. Any dental injury, even if apparently mild, requires examination by a dentist or an endodontist immediately. Sometimes, neighboring teeth suffer an additional, unnoticed injury that will only be detected by a thorough dental exam.

Dentures
Dentistry is all about smiles, and having a confident, healthy, beautiful smile is important even for patients wearing dentures. Our practice provides personalized denture services that meet the needs and comfort levels of our patients. All of our patients are unique and we create one-of-a-kind dentures that feel good and look natural.
Dentures are natural-looking replacement teeth that are removable. There are two types of dentures: full and partial.
- Full dentures are given to patients when all of the natural teeth have been removed. Conventional full dentures are placed after the gum tissue has healed, which can take several months. Immediate full dentures are placed immediately after the teeth have been removed and may require frequent adjustments during the first couple of months of use.
- Partial dentures are attached to a metal frame that is connected to your natural teeth and are used to fill in where permanent teeth have been removed. Partial dentures are considered a removable alternative to bridges.
