Our Services
Dentures
Signature Smiles, a Wilmington NC dentures firm, specializes in creating Partial dentures or Overdentures for patients missing multiple teeth. Our partial dentures are held in place by clasps, which are molded to fit around the existing teeth. We take impressions of the mouth to ensure this partial denture will fit seamlessly and comfortably. Partials can also be revisited if the dentures shape is altered over time, although they are typically very sturdy and strong. The overdentures uses implants to hold the denture in place. This denture can snap in and out but is secured enough that chewing will not dislodge your denture.
A denture is the replacement of all the teeth on either the upper arch, lower arch, or both. A denture can replace lost bone and gum tissue contours, thereby supporting areas of the face or jawbone that may have a caved-in appearance. Implants are occasionally used as support for dentures when indicated.

Signature Smiles has dentist office locations in both Wilmington and Jacksonville, NC.

Cleanings
Our trained dental hygienists perform thorough cleanings at standard visits. Regularly cleanings not only improve tooth and gum health, but prevent against cavities and more serious problems. These cleanings help remove plaque build-up in the nooks and crannies that you might not be able to reach when you brush your teeth. We finish each cleaning with a fluoride treatment, to polish off a full-service cleaning.
Invisalign®
For those looking to straighten your teeth by going the more discrete route, we take an oral mold of your mouth’s shape to fit you with virtually invisible aligners. These aligners are custom fit to your mouth to store proper formation of the teeth, bringing you that bright smile you’ve always envisioned.
Braces
We work from start to finish to design custom braces for you that will bring out that wide smile you’ve always wanted to show. We use our state-of-the-art digital X-ray machines and custom molds to prepare a custom blue print to straighten your teeth. Our hygienists take special care by ensuring patient comfort during the initial procedure as well as the regularly scheduled tightening. The length of time for wearing braces can vary depending on the demand of the structure, but our team will work closely with you to ensure proper formation and restore a healthy smile.
White Fillings
If a tooth needs repair from decay or a fracture, a filling can restore your tooth’s strength and eliminate that nagging pain. We use composite filings, that have a white color, matching the color of your teeth so that we can provide our customers with the best aesthetic option. These fillings are strong, durable and will withstand the test of time.
Root Canals
For deeper tooth decay or fractures, a filling might not do the trick. This is when we conduct Root Canal Therapy (RCT). Root Canals are recommended when the inner pulp of a tooth becomes infected. Signs of this infection include: sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures, visible swelling, pain in the gums or jaw area and discoloration. Our Root Canal procedure removes the infected pulp from the canals of the tooth and the core then becomes sterilized and typically filled with a crown to protect the mended tooth.
Extractions (simple & surgical)
When a root canal is not a suitable option, our dentist can perform extractions to remove diseased teeth. Our staff use gentle care to provide patients with the most painless extraction, and schedule follow-ups to re-visit the state of the mouth.

Signature Smile uses state-of-the-art dental equipment at both our Wilmington and Jacksonville, NC office locations.

Intra-oral Cameras
Our dentist uses small, digital cameras that display a high resolution picture displayed on a monitor to enhance communication between the patient and the dentist. They are also our dentist’s #1 education tool. By connecting the intra-oral cameras with a monitor, our staff can show patients what exactly is wrong and further explain treatment recommendations.
