Elizabethtown is about an hour's drive to our Oleander Drive office, southeast on US-701 and NC-87.
Elizabethtown is inland Bladen County, an hour from the coast and considerably further from any prosthodontist. We are straightforward about this: routine dentistry should be done locally, and driving an hour for a cleaning makes no sense.
What does justify the trip is the work a general dentist refers out. Full-arch implant restorations, full mouth reconstruction, complex cases where the bite itself has to be rebuilt. Those need three additional years of training to plan properly, and Bladen County patients travel for it because the alternative is having complex work done by someone who does it occasionally.
We regularly see patients from Elizabethtown, White Lake, Clarkton, and the Cape Fear River corridor, and from across the area around Jones Lake State Park, White Lake.

Inlays and onlays are custom-made restorations used when a tooth is too damaged for a simple filling but doesn't need a full crown.
An inlay fits within the grooves of a tooth, while an onlay also covers one or more of its points (cusps). Both are crafted to match your tooth and bonded securely for a precise, natural-looking repair that preserves more of your healthy tooth.
We evaluate the tooth, remove any damage, and take a precise impression. Your custom restoration is crafted to fit exactly and bonded securely for a strong, natural finish.
We examine the tooth and determine whether an inlay or onlay is the best way to restore it.
The damaged area is gently removed and the tooth is prepared and impressioned for a precise fit.
Your inlay or onlay is crafted to match your tooth in shape and color.
Your restoration is bonded securely and adjusted for a comfortable, natural-feeling bite.
We focus on saving as much of your natural tooth as possible while restoring full strength and a seamless look. Each inlay or onlay is precisely designed and fitted for lasting results.
Because it is a long drive, we consolidate aggressively. The first appointment is a full 1.5 hours with a 3D scan and a complete written plan, and subsequent visits are scheduled to accomplish as much per trip as the healing sequence permits.
