Our office sits on the Oleander Drive corridor in midtown Wilmington, with free on-site parking outside Suite 204.
Dr. Pan practices in the city she chose to come home to. After a three-year prosthodontic residency at UCSF, she returned to North Carolina and settled in Wilmington, and the practice on Oleander Drive has been serving midtown, Landfall, Mayfaire, Pine Valley, and the Myrtle Grove and Masonboro corridors ever since.
For Wilmington patients, that means specialist prosthodontic care without leaving the county. Complex restorative work — full-arch implants, full mouth reconstruction, precision crown and veneer cases — is usually a Raleigh or Charlotte referral. Here it is a fifteen-minute drive from most addresses in town.
We regularly see patients from Landfall, Mayfaire, Autumn Hall, Forest Hills, Pine Valley, Sunset Park, Winter Park, Myrtle Grove, Masonboro, and Ogden, and from across the area around Mayfaire Town Center, Independence Mall.

A dental implant is a small titanium post that takes the place of a missing tooth root. It is placed in the jawbone, where the bone gradually fuses to its surface — a process called osseointegration — creating a foundation strong enough to carry a crown, a bridge, or a full arch of teeth.
That foundation is what separates implants from every other tooth replacement. A denture rests on the gums. A traditional bridge leans on the teeth beside the gap. An implant stands on its own, anchored in bone, which is why it feels less like an appliance and more like a tooth.
It helps to think of an implant as three parts: the implant itself in the bone, an abutment that connects through the gum, and the restoration — the visible crown or bridge. Dr. Pan is a prosthodontist, which means she designs and places that restoration: the part you see, bite with, and live with every day.
We start with a 3D scan and a conversation about what you want the result to do. Dr. Pan plans the restoration, coordinates placement with a trusted surgeon, keeps you in a temporary while the implant integrates, then designs and fits the final tooth.
A full 1.5 hours. We image your jaw, assess bone volume, review your bite and medical history, and tell you honestly whether implants are the right answer for you.
Dr. Pan designs the final tooth, then maps the implant position to suit it. You get a written sequence, timeline, and itemised cost before anything is booked.
A trusted oral surgeon or periodontist places the implant to Dr. Pan’s plan. You wear a temporary while the bone integrates over three to four months.
Dr. Pan fits, adjusts, and refines the custom crown or bridge until the bite is right and it disappears among your natural teeth.
Dr. Pan plans the finished tooth first, then works backwards to the implant position — coordinating with your surgeon so the hardware ends up where the restoration needs it. She designs every restoration herself and completes much of the lab work in-office, which is why implant crowns from this practice match the teeth beside them.
Wilmington patients often come to us on referral from their own general dentist for the parts of a case that need specialist training. If you already have a dentist you like, that relationship continues — we handle the restorative work and send you back for routine care.
