- Dental ExaminationGeneral dentistry is largely focused on the prevention of disease and decay. We would much rather see our patients regularly for routine exams and cleanings, than not see them for years and have to treat and advanced case of gum disease or replace missing teeth. Prevention really is the best medicine, that’s why it’s important to maintain regular appointments at Coastal Cosmetic Family Dentistry®.
- X-rays
- Oral Cancer ScreeningWe’ve invested in a high-tech oral cancer screening device to give you peace of mind, and ensure we catch any signs of the disease before it progresses. A special fluorescent light illuminates any tissue abnormalities inside the mouth to detect potential signs of the disease before they become visible to the naked eye. This gives us the best chance of treating the disease before it progresses, and your best chance at survival and recovery.
- Teeth CleaningThat’s why our hygiene team is one of the best in Bolivia and Oak Island. We’ll give you one of the most thorough, yet most gentle cleanings you’ve ever had, and we’ll show you the compassionate care that you deserve. We also emphasize patient education in order to provide you with the tools and knowledge to keep your mouth clean and healthy at home.
- Fluoride TreatmentOne of the important services we offer our patients here at Coastal Cosmetic Family Dentistry® is fluoride treatment. Fluoride is a natural mineral used to treat and prevent tooth decay. If you are a patient with a moderate or high risk for caries – orthodontia, restorations, gum recession, limited dexterity, poor oral hygiene, poor diet, genetic predisposition, or enamel defects – we would love to speak with you about fluoride treatment as a part of your regular dental visits to help get your dental caries under control.

- Fillings
- VeneersIf you’ve always dreamt of having a perfect, dazzling set of pearly whites like the ones you see on the red carpet, but thought it was just that – a dream – you’re in luck. Veneers are a wonderful cosmetic treatment to correct a number of dental grievances and give you the smile you’ve always wanted.
- CrownsTraditionally, if you needed a dental crown it would require multiple appointments. The first appointment would require taking messy impressions which would then be sent to a lab to be created, and being fitted with a temporary crown. You would then return a few weeks later to be fitted with the final restoration. If that sounds like a pain, we agree. That’s why we’ve invested in a high-tech CEREC milling machine that allows us to create and place crowns in a single appointment!
- BridgesA dental bridge is a restorative appliance that can replace a single or multiple missing teeth to bridge the gap and make your smile whole again. Just as every smile is unique, your bridge will be custom-made to fit your needs and help you get back your healthy, natural looking smile.
- Dental Bonding
- Restorative DentistryRestorative dentistry involves restoring and replacing teeth that have been damaged by disease, decay, or trauma. While our primary goal is to conserve as much of your natural, healthy teeth as possible, there may come a time when restoration is needed. Advanced technology and tooth-colored materials allow us to seamlessly restore your smile in form and function.
- Root Canal TreatmentDid you know that millions of Americans suffer from some form of dental anxiety that prevents them from seeking the oral healthcare they need? If you are one of them, our gentle and compassionate team at Coastal Cosmetic Family Dentistry® wants you to know that you’re not alone, and that all of your concerns will be taken seriously. We are proud to offer sedation dentistry to help make your appointment – from routine cleanings to root canals – relaxed and comfortable.
- DenturesIf you are missing most or all of your natural teeth, it may be time to start considering dentures. We understand the stigma that dentures are clunky and ill-fitting and look anything but natural. Our team at Coastal Cosmetic Family Dentistry® wants you to know that today, with advances in modern dentistry, we can create beautiful, natural-looking dentures that lock in place and mimic your natural teeth in form and function.
- Dental ImplantsDid you know that dental implants are the most recommended tooth replacement solution – by doctors and patients alike? The reason is simple – dental implants are the only way to replace the root of the tooth. Without a healthy tooth root, the surrounding teeth will begin to shift and rotate, and the underlying jawbone will begin to deteriorate or atrophy, which is what causes the “sunken face” appearance you might notice in some patients with missing teeth.
- Oral SurgeryAt Coastal Cosmetic Family Dentistry®, we understand that the thought of oral surgery can make anyone a bit queasy, whether you usually have dental anxiety or not. However, we want you to rest assured that our doctors and staff are highly accredited and experienced in many types of oral surgery procedures. Don’t put yourself through the hassle of finding a specialist that doesn’t know you or your case – get all of your treatment done comfortably at Coastal Cosmetic Family Dentistry® in Bolivia or Oak Island.
- Tooth ExtractionsIf you have a tooth that is badly damaged by decay or trauma and is past the point of restoration, you may require an extraction. Don’t worry, tooth extractions are a fairly routine procedure for us at Coastal Cosmetic Family Dentistry®. We want you to know that you’re in good hands, and that we have plenty of restoration options available to restore your smile back to its full form and function.
- Bone GraftingWe are proud to utilize one of the most technologically advanced x-ray imaging systems in dentistry, and are the first practice in the area to invest in this technology. Our Sirona® 3D Cone Beam CT scanner takes a 15 second scan and turns it into a 3D, 360 degree, computer generated model of the patient’s dental anatomy. This allows for better diagnosis and treatment planning, especially for the placement of dental implants, bone grafting, wisdom teeth extraction, and root canals.
- OrthodonticsThe cosmetic benefits of straightening your teeth are obvious. Straightening your teeth will drastically improve your outward appearance, which boosts your self-esteem and confidence. Aside from cosmetics, there are actually health benefits to having a straight smile. Teeth that are properly aligned are easier to keep clean, and gums fit better around the teeth when they are straight. If you’re on the fence about orthodontics, don’t do it just for appearances, do it for your oral health!
- Invisalign OrthodonticsOur Invisalign® patients LOVE not only their results, but they love Invisalign® all the way through treatment. Invisalign® uses a series of custom-made, clear plastic aligners to apply pressure and gently shift teeth into their desired position. Invisalign® aligners will be swapped out for the next set every few weeks, and are removable so you can maintain optimum oral hygiene and continue to enjoy your favorite foods during treatment.
- BracesWe understand the hesitancy many patients face when deciding to straighten their teeth – when the only option for orthodontics in the past has been unsightly, uncomfortable metal braces that only add insult to injury. At Coastal Cosmetic Family Dentistry®, we believe that you should be rewarded for deciding to straighten your teeth – not punished. That’s why our doctors are trained in both short term and discreet orthodontics so our patients can let their smile shine through treatment.
- Teeth WhiteningIf you’re looking to improve your smile and your appearance without doing anything drastic, a professional teeth whitening might be a fantastic option for you. We can take years off of your look and boost your confidence to a whole new level with teeth whitening at Coastal Cosmetic Family Dentistry®.
- Cosmetic DentistryIf you are less than happy with the appearance of your smile, it could be what’s holding you back from achieving your goals. You are less likely to attend social events, to engage in conversations, and to show off your smile in social situations. This could give others the wrong impression of you – they may think you are unfriendly, anti-social, or stand-offish. Don’t let your smile hold you back any longer, get your dream smile with cosmetic dentistry and you’ll see what a difference a smile can really make!
