Why Choose Dr. Aubrey Myers?
Here’s what sets Dr. Myers and her practice apart from other Cape Carteret dentists.
Advanced Training
Dr. Myers is a Dawson Academy Scholar. She completed advanced post-graduate training in the analysis of bite problems, dental occlusion, and the functions of the masticatory system. As a result, she can treat complex dental issues that many general dentists refer out.
Dr. Myers is 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.

Our Complete Cape Carteret Dental Services
At Emerald Isle Smiles, 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 or a toothache can strike in the middle of the night. We offer same-day emergency dental care whenever possible.
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
Our cosmetic dentistry services create beautiful smiles and help you feel 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.
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’ Dawson training means she looks at your whole bite, not just your teeth.
Other cosmetic dentistry services include:
Restorative Dentistry
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, missing teeth affect how you eat, speak, and feel about yourself. Dr. Myers evaluates your bite and jaw health to deliver lasting results.
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:

Our Dental Insurance and Financing Options

Flexible payment options are available if you prefer to spread out your payments. You can finance your dental treatments through CareCredit or Sunbit, which allow you to make smaller monthly payments instead of paying everything up front.
