Meet the Doctors
Proudly Serving the Community for Nearly 20 Years
Vanessa Campbell, DDS, FAGD
Dr. Campbell began her dental career in her home state of Michigan at the age of 16, working as an orthodontic assistant for her childhood orthodontist. She is a 2005 graduate of the University of Detroit-Mercy School of Dentistry, where she earned both her bachelor’s degree and doctorate in a six-year accelerated program. She is the recipient of the Academy of Operative Dentistry Award, the American Society of Dentistry for Children Award, and the Russell W. Bunting Study Club Award. After working in Raleigh as an associate, she decided to open her private practice in Holly Springs in 2010. Since then, she has enjoyed working in and being a part of the small but growing community.
Dr. Campbell is a strong believer in lifelong learning and takes anywhere from 50 – 100 hours of continuing education each year. She has had extensive training in reconstructive and cosmetic restorative dentistry and has been very involved in organizing continuing education events through the North Carolina Academy of General Dentistry. In 2013, she received her Fellowship from the Academy of General Dentistry, a designation only achieved by 6% of general dentists.
Dr. Campbell and her husband Ryan met in the pep band at UDM. They enjoy traveling, hiking, music, and playing with their sons, Benjamin and Desmond. They also have a dog, Hulk. When she is not working, Dr. Campbell enjoys yoga, knitting, and cooking for her family. She is fluent in Spanish and a member of the Holly Springs Chamber of Commerce.
“I love being able to give patients confidence in a new smile. I feel so lucky that I get to be in a profession that blends art and science in a way that helps me take care of people. General dentistry allows me to get creative in finding the best solutions for my patients, no matter their situation.”

“My Mom and Dad always encouraged me to find something in life that I would enjoy and be challenged by year in and year out. Dentistry found me. It is an extremely demanding guild that is changing every year, constantly asking more from me from a clinical, technical, and emotional level; this allows me to deliver my very best for all of my patients. It is a privilege to be a part of such a fantastic team that strives toward excellence in taking care of our community’s oral health needs.”
