Southport is about a 45 minute drive to our Oleander Drive office via NC-133 and the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge.
Southport draws retirees, and St. James alone accounts for a steady share of our Brunswick County patients. That population arrives with dental histories built in other states over forty or fifty years, which produces the kind of mixed, aging restorative work that needs a specialist to untangle rather than patch.
The common Southport case looks like this: a couple of old crowns, a bridge that has started to fail, one or two teeth already lost, and a bite that has drifted as a result. Treating any one piece in isolation tends not to hold. Dr. Pan plans the whole mouth first, then sequences the work.
We regularly see patients from the historic district, St. James Plantation, Indigo Plantation, and Smithville Woods, and from across the area around the Southport waterfront, Fort Johnston.

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.
Southport is a real drive, so the first appointment is built to be worth the trip: a full 1.5 hours, a 3D scan, and a written plan with costs before you leave.
