Shoreline Oral and Facial Surgery

Please welcome our newest surgeon, Dr. Natalie Dunlop, DDS, MD. Dr. Dunlop is a native of Wilmington, NC and is looking forward to serving her hometown!

Dr. Dunlop's Biography:

Dr. Natalie Dunlop was born and raised in Wilmington, NC. She graduated from New Hanover High School. She then attended college at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill during which she spent time volunteering with NC Missions of Mercy clinics, an experience that sparked her interest in oral and maxillofacial surgery. After college, Dr. Dunlop stayed in Chapel Hill at UNC for dental school, medical school, as well as residency in oral and maxillofacial surgery.

Dr. Dunlop’s favorite parts of oral and maxillofacial surgery include orthognathic (jaw reconstruction) surgery, TMJ surgery, pathology (cysts and tumors of the jaws), and dentoalveolar surgery. More than anything, she loves the direct relationship she gets to have with her patients and the ability to provide a tangible, helpful service.

Outside of the office, you can usually find Dr. Dunlop fly fishing with her husband Wilson, running with their two chocolate labs, or cheering for live music and Carolina basketball.
