Cape Fear Smiles General & Cosmetic Dentistry

"Awesome first visit to Cape Fear Smiles. Staff was very friendly and took the time to see where I am at heath-wise and explain the process. Dr Cortez takes time to explain the results of the examination and answer any questions. Will definitely be coming back."

"Janet and Sable did an excellent cleaning and polishing. Gentle and compassionate. And a big thanks to Dr Hicks for adjusting my partial. Can finally eat on both sides now."

"If you have ever been afraid of the Dentist, this is the first place you should go. Their hygienists are gentle and super nice, and the dentists are both very kind and very focused on comfort. I had issues due to anemia, causing me to chew ice as well as jaw problems. Rather than wanting to fix everything and charge me they have done everything they can to make sure I’m comfortable without having to spend an arm and a leg."

"Dr Hicks is so kind. My 88 year old grandfather broke a tooth and his regular dentist wouldn't remove it. He was referred to an oral surgeon but there was only one oral surgeon that would take my grandfather's insurance but it would be months before he could be seen. My grandfather was in pain and just needed the tooth gone. Dr. Hicks was sympathetic and extracted the tooth. The price was reasonable and Dr Hicks did it the same day as the consult. I'm so thankful to Dr. Hicks for helping my grandfather."

"I could not be happier with my experience at Cape Fear Smiles. Dr. Cortez is very warm, caring, and knowledgeable and took a lot of time to listen to my concerns, to explain options and to complete my dental work carefully, even staying past her scheduled work hours. She and her staff were also very friendly and accommodating in working with me to enable me to use my benefits most fully, while maintaining full integrity. I am truly thankful to find a dentist who uses biological resources and who is so caring, ethical and skilled."
