Surf City is about a 40 minute drive to our Oleander Drive office, over the bridge and down US-17.
Surf City has grown from a summer town into a year-round community, and the dental needs have grown with it. We see families from the mainland side and the island, and the mix of cases is broader than the beach towns further south: as many chipped and cracked teeth from active lifestyles as failing older restorations.
For anything involving implants, a full arch, or a bite that needs rebuilding, Surf City patients come into Wilmington. The drive is about forty minutes, and the high-rise bridge removed the old drawbridge wait that used to make it unpredictable.
We regularly see patients from the Surf City mainland, Soundside, Del Mar Beach, and the north end of Topsail Island, and from across the area around the Surf City bridge, Soundside Park.
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.
We schedule Surf City patients in longer blocks where the clinical sequence allows, so a single trip covers more than one step of your plan.
