Why Choose Emerald Isle Smiles?
You have choices when it comes to dentists near Cape Carteret. Here’s what sets Dr. Myers and her practice apart.
Advanced Training
Dr. Myers is a Dawson Academy Scholar. That means she completed advanced post-graduate training in the analysis of bite problems, dental occlusion, and the functions of the masticatory system. This training allows her to treat complex dental issues that many general dentists refer out.
She’s also a member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. She has passed the AACD Accreditation Written Exam, the first step toward achieving the Academy’s highest credential. Very few dentists in the Crystal Coast area have pursued this level of cosmetic training.
A U.S. Navy Veteran
Dr. Myers served as a Dental Officer in the U.S. Navy for five years before entering private practice. That experience shaped her approach to patient care: disciplined, thorough, and deeply committed to the people she serves.
A Practice Built Around You
Emerald Isle Smiles was founded in 2017 with a simple mission: prioritize the patient experience. We take time to listen, answer your questions, and create a treatment plan that fits your life. You’ll never feel rushed or pressured.
Our Complete Dental Services
We offer comprehensive dental treatments to patients near Cape Carteret, NC. We’re here to give you dental care whether you’re vacationing or a local.
Preventative Dental Care
General dentistry is the foundation of your oral health. It’s preventive care that keeps your teeth and gums healthy, catches problems early, and helps you avoid more complex treatments down the road. We recommend visits every six months for checkups, cleanings, and screenings. For families in Cape Carteret, this means one convenient location for everyone, from teens to adults.
Emergency Dentistry is one of our most important general dentistry services. Dental emergencies don’t wait for convenient times. A tooth can crack while you’re eating. A toothache can strike in the middle of the night. We offer same-day care whenever possible, especially for vacationers who don’t have a local dentist.
Our general dentistry services also include:
- Comprehensive exams
- Professional cleanings
- Digital X-rays
- Oral cancer screenings
- Periodontal screenings
- Custom Mouthguard
- Family Dentistry
- Tooth Extraction
Cosmetic Dentistry: Enhancing Your Smile With Confidence
Our cosmetic dentistry services are about more than looks. It’s about feeling good when you smile, laugh, or speak in public. Many cosmetic treatments also provide functional benefits. Straightening crooked teeth makes them easier to clean, which reduces your risk of cavities and gum disease. Dr. Myers’s advanced cosmetic training, including her pursuit of AACD Accreditation, means she has the skill and artistic eye to create natural-looking results.
Invisalign is one of our most popular cosmetic treatments. Clear, removable aligners gradually shift your teeth into proper alignment. Most people won’t notice you’re wearing them. Dr. Myers’s Dawson training means she evaluates your entire bite, not just straightness.
Other cosmetic dentistry services we offer include:
Restorative Dentistry: Rebuilding Your Smile From the Ground Up
Dr. Myers provides restorative dentistry services to repair damaged teeth and replace missing ones. Her restorative treatments renew function so you can chew, speak, and smile comfortably. It also restores confidence.
For example, when you’re missing teeth, it affects how you eat, how you speak, and how you feel about yourself. Dr. Myers evaluates your bite and jaw health to create results that last.
Dental implants are the gold standard for tooth replacement and one of the top restorative treatments for missing teeth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants replace both the root and crown. A titanium post fuses with your jawbone, then we attach a custom restoration. Implants also prevent bone loss and help restorations last for years.
Our restorative dentistry services include:
