I had a very frustrating experience with Cape Fear Smiles and would not recommend them based on how…read moremy billing issue was handled. I went in under the understanding that my visit would be covered by insurance, but later received a $170 bill for additional services that were not clearly explained or authorized beforehand. I even asked if anything was owed upon completion of the initial appointment I reached out multiple times to dispute the charge and asked for documentation showing that these added services and costs were disclosed to me in advance. Instead of receiving a meaningful response, the account was sent to collections and I continued getting payment demands. My issue is not simply that insurance did not cover something. My issue is that I was charged for services I do not believe were clearly explained to me before they were performed. The lack of communication and willingness to resolve the dispute has been extremely disappointing. Patients should be told upfront what services may result in additional charges before those services are performed. Based on my experience, I would be very cautious about billing here and would ask for everything in writing before agreeing to any treatment.

I wrote a review a long time ago. Since then, I began having extreme tooth sensitivity like never…read morebefore. I hate to admit it because I have always been a "clean cut" kind of gal, but I fell into a deep depression three years ago. I started taking all sorts of antidepressants, anti-anxiety meds, weight loss drugs - all on top of years of heavy coffee and sugary drinks. It wasn't until I fell into the deep hole of disposable vapes that doing things like eating popcorn suddenly became excruciatingly painful. Sometimes I would eat an almond and it would feel like there was lightning going all of the way down to the roots of my molars. I am pretty tough, but even after being numbed over multiple times, I could still feel it when dental work was being done. Throughout all of this, Dr. Bland remained patient and continued to check in with me. He could tell if I made a small movement that indicated my discomfort and would see if I needed a break or more numbing relief. Thankfully, I am no longer having any of the sensitivity since I stopped consuming large sums of coffee, sugar, and most especially since I stopped vaping. I love everyone who works with him. The fact that he has people who have been by his side for close to a decade or more really says something about who he is as a person. I have been moving around my whole life and have been to many others. He is genuinely the best I have visited. The office is immaculate, beautifully designed and simply top notch. Plus there is a spa on the second floor that gives great massages. I never thought I would think of a place like this as a little oasis, but I certainly do now.

This was my first visit to Southeast Smiles. I have gone to several dentist in Wilmington, but was…read morereferred to this office by a very dear friend after she also started getting care at this office and was very pleased. From reception, to the technician I interacted with, everyone was incredibly friendly and welcoming. I also appreciated that I was seen close to the scheduled time and never felt rushed. Once the technician brought me back, I went through a quick X-ray and was led into the exam room. The room was clean, organized and comfortable. Again, within minutes, the dental hygienist arrived and started her routine. I'm very particular about following up with dental care and exams. I floss and brush frequently, and take pride in my teeth. Nevertheless, this dental hygienist took her time, and was extremely detailed in checking the health of my teeth, and even better, she was meticulous with a very detailed cleaning! I can say that in all my years, she is most definitely the best Dental Hygienist I've ever had! Great job! Next, I was welcomed to the practice by a super down to earth and friendly dentist: Dr. Panchal. We went over any concerns and and oral history, and, of course, he studied all of the X-rays taken. He proceed with the oral exam. Dr. Panchal patiently explained his findings and discussed his recommendation, treatment plan, and timeline. I'm pleased to say that my first visit was above average! From professionalism, welcoming and very clean environment, detailed staff, everything was perfect! Dr. Panchal has a great personality and I can see how he sets a wonderful standard which staff fallows. His wit, and lack of pretense were great, and even better: his knowledge, his ability to put the patient at ease, and his communication skills were wonderful! So, if like many, you're nervous about going to the dentist, I strongly recommend that you give office a chance. They are fantastic and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised!!! Nice job, everybody!

I originally went cause one of teeth in partial broke and fell out while I was in fl due to accident I made apt with Wilmington location be cause the had same day service I made apt and went decided to get silver crown added which was additional and had to be sent off I paid and new I had to wait the crown came in but was wrong color so it had to be sent back to lab the young lady at front desk told me what happened and we agreed she would send me a text when it came in. I also informed her that I live in Wallace which is 55 mins away and that I was moving to Florida and that I worked night shift. She text me I called her she wanted me to come Thursday but I told her I didn't want to drive for a 5 mins apt to just try on and could we do everything on same day she made me apt for Fri at 8 and had talked to technition and Friday at 8 was good. I get there Friday for 8 apt after working night shift did the try on and was told they have see when it could be ready. When I get to front and was talking to the pregnant lady at the desk letting her know that now I'm being told I have to come back at 2. I informed her I had to drive to Raleigh and don't think I could make 2. While I was talking to her the lady beside her interrupts and says we didn't know we we on a time frame and that's not how things work there so I asked her did I talk to her the day before she says no but I'm the office manager. She was rude she then says and we don't think we can have it done today. Mind u the tooth that broke I fixed myself and don't know when it going to fall out. The office manager says I'll go talk to tech. I asked the pregnant lady what was I missing I was told something different yesterda and she said I heard the conversation and don't know what's going on. And that the girl I talk to yesterday was off. The manager then comes to talk to me with another lady that lady is just as rude as she was. They both tell me if I can't do the 2pm appointment then they can't do it today so I asked the Second Lady was she the technician she says no that she was asking the manager a question so I asked y did it take both her and the manager to come talk to me. The manager proceeded she was trying to help me and every time I would say something she would cut me off. I asked when is the next apt I leave for fl next week and that if I would have know how things were I wouldn't have come to that location so the Second Lady says we have Monday at 2 I said again I work night shift and have to be back that night at 630 she goes well I don't know what to tell you.she then says we can do 11. Mind you I paid out of pocket.

A clean and comfy reception area where I feel like I am at a well loved home, where care was taken with the decor to give patients a relaxing and welcoming experience, not a feeling of being a product in an assembly line like at other dental practices. 2. A receptionist who smiled and made eye contact, politely asked the necessary information, and remained pleasant for duration-this is important because it is lacking at dental offices where front office employees often act as if patients were a chore. 3. A competent, thorough dental professional named Andrea, who did probably the best dental cleaning I have ever had. 4. Dr. Miles greeted me, checked work done, and even referred me to a dermatologist for treatment of a growth she noticed on my skin. I live at walking distance from two dental practices in the area. I was a patient at both. I prefer to drive 15 minutes to Dr. MIles' office. If anyone is going to invade my body by placing their fingers in my mouth, I need to feel that I can trust that person. I trust Dr. Miles and her team.

Not to mention I am in my 20's and have a lot of life to go in my teeth. In 2024/2025 she had told me I had some very small cavities starting and she recommended fillings to prevent any worsening. Since those fillings I have had nothing but issues. Not only did she crack my teeth she caused extreme sensitivity and I am now up to $8,000 worth of dental work done to fix her mistakes. She knew she messed up and tried to have her daughter fix her mistakes but not even that could do it! She cracked my teeth when doing the fillings and then sent me home. I then noticed and called and told her what she did. She supposedly "fixed" them but can confirm that did not happen based on a second opinion. She did poor fillings and I am still having to have hers removed and fixed. Not to mention she completely messed up the crown of my implant creating a large food gap. Most dentist would redo the crown until it's right but not her I was told "you'll just always have to have floss" EVERY piece of work she has done I am having to have fixed. I am having to have a new crown made and placed on my implant because hers was horrible, I am having to have all her fillings removed and replaced because it's "terrible" work. Having to have my bite fixed because of her TERRIBLE TERRIBLE WORK! I went back several times telling her something was wrong but was always brushed under the rug and told to use sensitive toothpaste. Turns out shes just a horrible doctor and doesn't want to fix her mistakes. She messed my mouth up so bad she couldn't even fix it. Save yourself the trouble and go elsewhere! I've been having to have her mistakes fixed since I left this practice and I'm still dealing with issues she created. Leave while you can because you will end up paying for it in the long run. When she retires you will be having to have your mouth fixed! Horrible dentistry work clearly she had no idea what she was doing
