Sunset Beach is about a 55 minute drive to our Oleander Drive office, north on US-17 through Shallotte.
Sunset Beach is the last North Carolina beach town before the South Carolina line, and its golf and retirement communities, Sea Trail, Ocean Ridge, and Sandpiper Bay among them, supply a steady share of our southern Brunswick patients.
Patients here have a genuine choice between driving north to Wilmington or south into the Myrtle Beach area. The ones who come to us are generally looking for prosthodontic training specifically, usually for implants, a full arch, or a reconstruction where the bite itself has to be rebuilt.
We regularly see patients from Sea Trail, Ocean Ridge Plantation, Sandpiper Bay, and the island, and from across the area around the Sunset Beach Pier, Bird Island Reserve.

Dental bonding — also called a composite restoration — is tooth-colored resin sculpted directly onto a tooth to repair decay, a chip, a worn edge, or a small gap. It is shaped, hardened, and polished in a single visit, with no lab work and no second appointment.
The material is matched to the shade of your existing teeth, so the repair blends in and no dark metal shows. Because it bonds to the tooth surface, very little healthy structure has to be removed — which is what makes it the most conservative option in cosmetic dentistry.
Bonding is not always the right answer. It stains over time where porcelain does not, and it will not carry the load on a heavily broken tooth. For a chipped front corner or a narrow gap it is often the better choice; for a whole tooth changing shape and color, see porcelain veneers or a crown. Our comparison of dental bonding vs. veneers walks through where the line falls.
We remove any decay or damaged areas, clean the tooth, and place a tooth-colored composite material that is shaped and polished to match your natural tooth.
We examine your teeth and determine if a composite restoration is the best option for repairing damage or decay.
The damaged or decayed portion of the tooth is gently removed, and the area is cleaned.
A tooth-colored material is placed, shaped, and hardened to restore strength and appearance.
Your tooth is restored to a natural look and function, blending seamlessly with your smile.
We focus on restoring teeth in a way that looks natural and feels comfortable. Every restoration is carefully matched to your smile so it blends in beautifully and functions properly.
At roughly 55 minutes each way, we schedule Sunset Beach patients for fewer, longer appointments wherever the clinical sequence allows, and the first visit is a full 1.5 hours so you leave with a complete plan.
