Meet Your Dentist
Dr. Elie Abboud, DDS
Dr. Elie Abboud is the owner of Spring Hope Family Dentistry and the dentist you'll see when you visit. He built this practice on a simple idea: give a small town access to the kind of modern, comfortable dentistry you'd expect from a big city, from someone who actually knows your name.

- Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS), University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Dentistry
- Advanced training in the Kois Center philosophy of risk-based, cause-first care

Why I became a dentist
I was drawn to dentistry because it combines the things I love most: the care of medicine, the precision of engineering, and the craft of building something that lasts. For you, that means a dentist who looks at your whole health, gets the small details exactly right, and is here to care for your family for the long haul.
My approach to care
I came to North Carolina for dental school at UNC and never left. In 2024 I had the chance to take over a 40-year Spring Hope practice and bring it into the modern era. I trained in the Kois philosophy, which means we look for the root cause of a problem instead of just patching the symptom, and I invested heavily in technology, from 3D scanning to AI-assisted imaging, because better information means more comfortable, more predictable results. I'll always show you what I see on your own images so you can decide with confidence.
Outside the office
When I'm not at the practice, I'm usually running, traveling, or hunting down a new restaurant. My fiancée Maria and I live in Cary, where we love the community and the outdoors. I look forward to welcoming you to Spring Hope Family Dentistry and helping you achieve a healthy, confident smile.
