Common Questions
What does a biological approach to dentistry mean at this clinic?
Cape Fear Smiles states that dentistry should support more than the teeth, and that its approach considers the connection between oral health and whole-body wellness. In practice that means biocompatible materials, preventive guidance, and personalised treatment planning across both routine and advanced care, with each plan built around the individual patient rather than a standard protocol.
Can I get metal-free or fluoride-free alternatives here?
Yes. The clinic states that patients seeking an alternative to fluoride, root canals, or BPA and metal-containing fillings, as well as ceramic implants, can have treatment tailored to those preferences. This sits within the clinic's wider emphasis on biocompatible materials chosen with oral-systemic health in mind.
Does the clinic assess breathing and sleep as part of dental care?
Yes. Cape Fear Smiles describes airway-focused dentistry in which airway concerns affecting breathing and sleep are evaluated as part of every treatment plan, with evaluations and treatments directed at function and long-term health rather than being handled as a separate service.
Can I consult the dentists without travelling to Wilmington first?
The clinic offers teledentistry and virtual consultations, which it describes as a way to discuss dental needs, review a possible procedure, or get general dentistry advice remotely before attending in person. Virtual appointments are arranged by calling the clinic at 910-763-0931.
