Tim Powell
Tim Powell's educational background include a high school degree from Burgaw High, BS degree in Biology from UNC-Wilmington, MS degree from East Carolina University in Biology, and a DDS degree from UNC-Chapel Hill. Immediately after graduation from UNC at Chapel Hill and upon passing NC State Dental Board exam, began an associateship with Drs. Ryan Stanley and Jim Overton at their Wrightsville Beach location. He began to practice one day per week in Holly Ridge which evolved into a full time practice. The current location was occupied in April, 2009 in order to modernize the practice to state-of-the-art condition. The practice name, “Topsail Dental” was adopted for this location.
As a practitioner in a rural area, he elected to offer full dental services to his patients from the beginning, covering all disciplines of dentistry. Over the years, he has developed full competence in most phases of dental treatment modalities. With the increasing development of the rural area in which the practice lies, two orthodontists have located nearby and receive most tooth-straightening procedures from the Topsail Dental office. Most other procedures used in dentistry from oral surgeries and endodontics, to removable and fixed prosthetics, and most cosmetic services are provided with 26 years of experience. Emphasis in continuing education is placed on those procedures that are performed most commonly within the office in order to have a current knowledge base of those subjects.
Tim Powell enjoys life to the fullest of his abilities both at work, and at play. He has been a lifelong SCUBA diver, saltwater fisherman, an aircraft pilot for twenty years, and most recently appears regularly with a local music group.
He is a lifelong member in good standing of The American Dental Association and the North Carolina Dental Society. Go to staff page
