Meet Dr. Len Fiume

Dr. Leonard “Len” Fiume is originally from Charlotte. He attended college at the University of North Carolina and earned both his Doctorate of Dental Medicine and graduate certificate in orthodontics from the College of Dental Medicine at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston.

Dr. Fiume is a board-certified orthodontist with the American Board of Orthodontists, and an active member of the American Association of Orthodontists and the North Carolina Association of Orthodontists. He is particularly interested in rapidly evolving technology because of its significant potential to improve the aesthetics and efficiency of orthodontic treatment.

He believes that advances in areas such as digital scanning, 3D printing, and clear aligner treatments such as Invisalign® are the wave of the future. To stay current on these technologies and other aspects of orthodontics, Dr. Fiume pursues continuing education opportunities throughout the year.

In his spare time, Dr. Fiume enjoys spending time with his family, surfing, paddle boarding, playing guitar, running and traveling. He and his wife Kelly moved to New Bern in 2014 and have two beautiful children, their son Wesley and daughter Eloise!
