Why this practice
Most practices treat what hurts today. We chart, photograph and scan every surface at your first visit, then write a five-year sequence — what needs doing now, what can wait, and what will cost more if it does.
Reviews
★ ★ ★ ★ ★“I put off treatment for eleven years. The plan came back in stages I could actually afford, and nobody once made me feel judged.”
Marguerite T. — Downtown Charleston
★ ★ ★ ★ ★“Six veneers, and nobody has guessed. My hygienist in Mount Pleasant sends all her cosmetic cases here now.”
David O. — Mount Pleasant

Your first visit
No treatment is proposed on day one. We gather, we explain, you decide — then we book.
Photographs, intraoral scan, periodontal charting and — where indicated — a low-dose CBCT. Everything on one screen you can see.
Your dentist walks you through your own images, in plain language, and asks what you actually want your teeth to do for you.
Priced line by line, sequenced by urgency, with insurance and financing already applied. Yours to take home and think about.
Book the first phase whenever you are ready. Your coordinator handles claims, scheduling and reminders throughout.

Questions
Yes. We hold new-patient chairs open every week, including same-week cosmetic consultations. Call the practice or use the booking form and our treatment coordinator will confirm within one business day.
Most major PPO plans are accepted, and we file out-of-network claims on your behalf where we are not in-network. Send us a photo of your card and we will check your benefits before you sit down.
Porcelain veneers here are quoted per tooth in writing, depending on lab, preparation and whether bite correction is needed. You receive a written, itemised plan with no line items added later.
You are in the majority, and we will go at your pace. We are happy to book a no-treatment visit first so you can meet the team with your shoes still on, and we will talk through the comfort options we offer before anything is planned.
We reserve same-day chairs each morning. Call before 4pm on a weekday and we will do our best to see you that day; after hours, the number on our voicemail reaches the on-call dentist directly.
