Carolina Beach is roughly a 20 to 25 minute drive up Carolina Beach Road (US-421) to our Oleander Drive office.
There is no prosthodontist on Pleasure Island, so Carolina Beach patients who need implants, a full-arch restoration, or a complex crown and bridge case drive up US-421 for it. It is a straight run with no bridges to wait on, which makes the multi-visit appointments this work requires far more practical than the distance suggests.
Island life is also harder on teeth than most people expect. Between an outdoor, on-the-water lifestyle and a fair amount of sugar and acid from a beach-town diet, we see a steady stream of Carolina Beach patients with chipped, cracked, and worn teeth that started as one bad bite on something hard.
We regularly see patients from Wilmington Beach, Hanby Beach, the north end, and the Boardwalk district, and from across the area around the Carolina Beach Boardwalk, Carolina Beach State Park.

A dental bridge is a custom-made restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. It fills the space by anchoring an artificial tooth to the natural teeth or implants on either side.
The result is a complete, natural-looking smile that restores both function and appearance.
We evaluate your teeth, discuss your goals, and design a custom bridge that fits your smile. The supporting teeth are prepared, impressions are taken, and your final bridge is placed and adjusted for comfort and function.
We examine your mouth, review your options, and determine if a bridge is the best solution for replacing your missing tooth or teeth.
Your bridge is designed to match your natural teeth in shape, color, and bite.
The supporting teeth are prepared, and your custom bridge is created and securely placed for a precise fit.
You leave with a complete smile that looks natural and restores your ability to eat and speak with confidence.
We design bridges that look natural, fit comfortably, and function properly for the long term. Every case is carefully planned to restore balance, strength, and aesthetics to your smile.
Year-round residents and seasonal owners both plan treatment around the summer crush. Tell us at the consultation which you are, and Dr. Pan sequences appointments so the stages that need close monitoring do not land in the middle of your busiest weeks.
