Dental Services
Our Pinehurst area dentists offer comprehensive dental services for all ages. We’ll work with you to get comfortable dental solutions tailored to you.
General Dentistry
We offer general dental treatments as the foundation of our dental services. General dental care can prevent future oral health issues. For example, if you need a mouthguard that protects your teeth during sports, we can help. Our custom sports mouthguards are made of a flexible plastic that covers and protects the upper teeth. We customize mouthguards for kids and adults to prevent painful and costly dental injuries.
But sometimes you can prevent dental injuries or oral health problems. We understand that dental emergencies don’t happen on a convenient schedule. If you experience a severe toothache, broken tooth, or other urgent dental problem, our team is here to help. We make every effort to see emergency patients quickly so you can get relief from pain and protect your oral health.
Cosmetic Dentistry
A beautiful smile can boost your confidence and make a lasting impression. Our cosmetic dental treatments help you achieve the smile you’ve always wanted. If you want to whiten your teeth or straighten your crooked teeth, we offer Invisalign and professional whitening to create your dream smile.
But if you want to treat a single stained tooth or slightly crooked teeth, we may recommend veneers or bonding. Porcelain veneers are thin shells that cover the front surface of your teeth to correct multiple cosmetic issues at once. Veneers can fix chips, cracks, stains, gaps, and even slightly crooked teeth. They’re custom-made to look completely natural and can last for many years with proper care.
Dental bonding is similar but offers a quicker and more affordable treatment. You can bond teeth to fix small chips, close gaps between teeth, or cover stains. We use tooth-colored composite material that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth. Tooth bonding also gives you results in just one visit.
Restorative Dentistry
Our restorative dental treatments can replace missing teeth and restore tooth damage. Two of the key treatments to restore the look and function of your teeth are implants and crowns.
Dental implants are the most permanent solution for missing teeth. These titanium posts are placed into your jawbone and topped with custom crowns that look and function just like natural teeth. Implants help preserve your jawbone and prevent the shifting of surrounding teeth.
Dental crowns cover and protect damaged or weakened teeth. If you have a tooth that’s severely decayed, cracked, or broken, a crown can restore its strength and appearance. Crowns are also used after root canal treatment to protect the tooth and prevent further damage.
Payment and Insurance Options
We believe that quality dental care should be accessible to everyone. Our practice accepts CareCredit, a healthcare financing option that allows you to spread the cost of treatment over time with flexible payment plans. This makes it easier to get the dental care you need without financial stress. We’ll work with you to find a payment solution that fits your budget.
