Kure Beach is about a 25 to 30 minute drive north on US-421, straight through Carolina Beach to our Oleander Drive office.
Kure Beach is the far end of Pleasure Island, which means almost every kind of specialist care is a drive. Our patients here tend to be decisive about it: if a case is worth doing properly, it is worth the half hour up US-421 to have a prosthodontist plan and restore it.
A large share of our Kure Beach patients are retirees, and the most common reason for a first visit is dental work done decades ago that is now failing. Crowns from the 1990s, bridges that have loosened, dentures that stopped fitting when the jaw changed shape underneath them.
We regularly see patients from Kure Beach proper, the Fort Fisher end, Sea Watch, and the oceanfront blocks, and from across the area around Fort Fisher, the North Carolina Aquarium.

Implant-supported dentures are dentures that attach to a few dental implants for added stability and comfort. Instead of resting loosely on the gums, they "snap" onto implants to help keep them secure.
They are removable for cleaning, but stay firmly in place while you wear them — making them much more stable than traditional dentures.
We evaluate your smile, place a small number of implants, and create a custom denture that securely attaches to them. After healing, your final denture is fitted and adjusted for comfort.
We examine your oral health, review your goals, and determine if implant-supported dentures are right for you.
A few dental implants are placed to support your denture, and we design your custom restoration.
Once healed, your denture is attached to the implants and adjusted for a secure, comfortable fit.
You leave with a more stable, confident smile that allows you to eat and speak with greater ease.
We design implant-supported dentures with a focus on comfort, fit, and function. Every case is carefully planned to help you eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
Because the drive is longer, we make the first visit count. Every new patient gets a full 1.5 hours with Dr. Pan, so you leave with a complete written plan and a cost breakdown rather than needing a second trip to hear the findings.
