Your hometown dentist
He came home to care for the community that raised him.
Dr. Alex Craver was born and raised in Lexington. The desire to serve his community—along with a lifelong love of working with his hands—drew him to dentistry.
After earning bachelor’s and master’s degrees at North Carolina State University, he trained at the University of North Carolina School of Dentistry. The pull to return to Davidson County only grew stronger as he and his wife, Amelia, began raising their family.
Today, Dr. Craver welcomes patients of every age and enjoys the full range of general dentistry, from patient education to surgical and endodontic care. Most importantly, he wants you to feel comfortable, confident in your plan and proud of your smile.
