We perform root canal treatments to save infected teeth using modern techniques that minimize discomfort. The procedure removes damaged tissue while preserving natural tooth structure, followed by restoration with a protective crown.

Pat is fantastic! Her ability to set a person at ease through storytelling is remarkable. It probably seems silly to point to that, but I already know they will do a good job on my teeth, so this is what sets them apart from the rest. She makes the experience so much more pleasant this way.

Had "emergency " dental need late afternoon day before Memorial Day weekend while visiting Morehead City. Coastal Dentistry offered to see me and quickly resolved issue. They were only practice that offered to treat me on such short notice before long weekend. Very professional and caring.

Staff was super nice and worked so well with me. I was made very comfortable and welcomed. I had recently moved and needed to get established with a local dentist and Coastal Dentistry felt very current with their procedures and tests. I left happy and with gained knowledge about my mouth and dental care.
