Welcome to Handcrafted Dentistry, located in Durham, North Carolina. Our dental team is known for providing high-quality care in a comfortable environment. When you visit our office, whether for the 1st or for the 20th time, we aim to impress you with the quality of the service and the attention to detail that our team members provide. We make every visit here a comfortable one, going above and beyond to meet your needs. Although it may be old-fashioned of us, we just can’t help wanting to take care of our patients!
Since 1986, Dr. Jim Eaker and our dedicated, patient-oriented team have been helping the people of Durham and the surrounding areas. Dr. Caitlin Singleton joined and acquired the dental practice from Dr. Eaker in January 2021, and it has been a seamless fit! Both doctors take a lot of pride in educating patients on their current oral health conditions and giving options to achieve the level of dental health each individual desires. We invite you to look through our website and learn more about our services and policies. Please also feel free to contact our office to schedule your appointment with Dr. Caitlin Singleton or Dr.Juliet Borchardt. We look forward to caring for you and your smile!
When asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, I always gave a “million-dollar smile” and said a dentist! Born and raised in Michigan, I loved my family dentist, Dr. Strong, a family friend and a big influence in my life from very early on.
Dr. Singleton and Dr. Eaker are happy to introduce you to our new Associate Dentist, Dr. Juliet Borchardt. We have made a great effort to find someone who can uphold the high quality of service that patients have appreciated.
The mission of Handcrafted Dentistry is to provide conservative and individualized dental care by working together as a team. We aim to gain your trust by being honest, thorough, and providing comfortable care. Our goal is to help you maintain your oral health at an optimum level and help you preserve your natural teeth for life
I am so grateful for everyone at Handcrafted Dentistry! Everyone is always so warm and welcoming. This morning they took care of my dental emergency calmly, efficiently and patiently. I consider myself lucky to be patient at this office!

I have been coming to this dentist office for 30 years. The staff is wonderful and the dental service is the best. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a great dentist where you will not be oversold on products and when you do need treatment, the treatment is first rate. I have never had any issues health wise, treatment wise.

Amazing experience yesterday! Donna has been cleaning my teeth for over 15 years. I live in Wilmington, NC and still make the drive. I love her attention to detail – it’s a sought after skill to be a perfectionist as a dental hygienist. My teeth feel amazing!!
