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

There aren't any dentist left with the bedside demeanor like his. All of his staff were so kind and knowledgeable too. There was no judgment or condescending tones to deal with, even when he told me "no" to something, he was nice and he was professional without being detached. I didn't have to wait long for my consultation (about 2 weeks) and the office was clean and stylish. The whole staff pride themselves of giving patients the care they would want. I didn't think he could be so personable and have beautiful work too. I was wrong. The root canal and building up of my tooth with filling was absolutely beautiful. When he gave me a numbing shot, I didn't even feel it. He talked to me throughout the procedure and he made sure I was ok, and not in any pain. I cant wait to see my smile when he is done. I have only had two appointments, but I did have a root canal, and I don't usually, if ever, do reviews, but I want anyone who NEEDS a GOOD dentist, for you or your child, anyone tired of being talked down to or hurt at the dentist, anyone who deals with major anxiety when going to the dentist, I want them to know that there IS a dentist in Wilmington, NC that can help you and the experience will NOT be awful, it will actually be a good one. He helps people. His staff help him help people. He and his staff made me feel comfortable and I finally feel like there is a chance to have the work done that I need and make my smile beautiful again and be treated kindly while that happens. I would still be searching for a quality dentist if I hadn't found him and took a chance and I AM sooooo glad I did. He is, by far, the best dentist in this whole area.

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.

I was very disappointed with the scope and quality of service which I received…read more Background: I received an overall evaluation by Dr. Melanie. A treatment plan was set up whereby she would work on 4 quadrants of my mouth on four separate occasions. After the 2nd quadrant was completed, I was informed that Dr. Melanie would no longer be working at the practice at the end of the day. Hence, a week later I set up two appointments with the owner of the business, Dr. Cortez to complete my treatment plan. She completed the two quadrants at the end of April 2023. I spent over $3,000 for treating the 4 quadrants. Results Within 24 hours (and right before a pre planned vacation) of my final appointment I took a bite of a pickle and sharp pain shot up to the nerve of one of the teeth which was worked on. The practice could not get me in the next day, so I had to partake in our 10 day cruise without help. Upon our return, I went to a different dentist who immediately confirmed that I needed a root canal and a crown. Within a month, I had a follow-up cleaning and it was discovered that 3 cavities which were supposedly filled by Cape Fear Smiles were never done (or missed) and our current dentist believes that they should not have been missed. Thus, I'm very dissappointed with the lack of competent dental care which I received at Cape Fear Smiles. I am seriously considering taking my concerns to the BBB, the NC dental Board, and delta dental because I believe that I received a substandard level of care.
