Ocean Isle Beach is about a 55 minute drive to our Oleander Drive office, up US-17 through Shallotte.
Ocean Isle Beach sits in the stretch of south Brunswick County where the beach towns run together and specialist dental care thins out considerably. Patients here have a choice between driving north to Wilmington or south into Myrtle Beach, and the ones who come to us are typically looking for prosthodontic training specifically rather than the nearest available option.
The cases reflect the community: a lot of implant work and full-arch restorations for retirees, plus the ongoing maintenance of implants and hybrids placed years ago elsewhere.
We regularly see patients from the island, Ocean Ridge Plantation, Seaside, and the mainland side, and from across the area around the Museum of Coastal Carolina, the Ocean Isle Beach Pier.

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.
We treat implants and hybrid prostheses placed by other practices, including cases where something has gone wrong. If you have work from another office that is failing, bring whatever records you have.
