Bolivia is about a 40 minute drive to our Oleander Drive office via US-17 and the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge.
Bolivia sits at the middle of Brunswick County, which puts it a reasonable drive from Wilmington and a long way from anywhere else with prosthodontic training. Most of our Bolivia patients come up US-17 and over the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge in about forty minutes.
Brunswick County has been one of the fastest-growing counties in the state, largely with retirees, and dental specialty care has not kept pace. That gap is the reason a steady number of Bolivia and inland Brunswick patients make the trip for implants and reconstruction work.
We regularly see patients from Bolivia, Winding River, Palmetto Creek, and the Midway Road corridor, and from across the area around Brunswick Community College, the Brunswick County Government Center.

TMJ/TMD treatment addresses pain and dysfunction in the jaw joints and muscles that control how you bite and chew.
If you experience jaw pain, clicking, clenching, or bite-related discomfort, Dr. Pan can evaluate the cause and create a personalized plan to relieve it and protect your teeth.
We evaluate your jaw, bite, and symptoms, identify the underlying cause, and build a personalized plan that may include a custom night guard, bite therapy, or restorative care.
We listen to your symptoms and complete a detailed evaluation of your jaw, bite, and teeth.
Dr. Pan identifies what's driving your discomfort — clenching, grinding, bite imbalance, or worn teeth.
Your plan may include a custom night guard, bite adjustment, or restorative care to relieve strain and protect your teeth.
We follow up to fine-tune your treatment so you can bite, chew, and rest more comfortably.
As a prosthodontist, Dr. Pan has advanced training in how the teeth, bite, and jaw work together. She looks for the underlying cause — not just the symptom — and starts with the most conservative options.
If you are coordinating care with a general dentist in Brunswick County, we work alongside them. You keep your dentist for routine care and we handle the restorative work, then send you back.
