Sneads Ferry is about a 50 minute drive to our Oleander Drive office, south on US-17.
Sneads Ferry sits between the New River and Topsail Island, with a working waterfront and a large military-connected population from Camp Lejeune next door. Both groups turn up in our chairs for the same reason: hard use.
Commercial fishing and military service are physical, and physical work produces cracked teeth, knocked-out teeth, and the kind of wear that comes from years of clenching. Those are restorative problems, and rebuilding a bite that has been ground down over a decade is squarely prosthodontic work.
We regularly see patients from Sneads Ferry, Fulchers Landing, North Topsail Beach, and Holly Ridge, and from across the area around the New River, the shrimp docks.
Schedule a Consultation
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.
Deployment and rotation schedules make continuity difficult. If you are working around one, tell us at the consultation and Dr. Pan will build the treatment sequence around the time you actually have.
