The dental practice on Old Trolley Road handles check-ups, cleanings and fillings alongside crowns and bridges. Six chairs sit on the second floor of the shopping plaza marked by the red-brick facade. Most patients arrive from Summerville neighborhoods beyond the Ashley River, swinging past the railroad overpass. Walk-ins aren’t turned away, but morning slots fill fast.

To the left of the laundromat you’ll find Suite A behind the frosted glass door. The office fronts a stretch of strip malls where contractors, teachers, and retirees come for routine work. Success here depends on the dentist’s knack for explaining procedures in plain language—no technical jargon, just clear next steps. Anyone needing root canals or gum therapy stays within the same practice.

Call once to book a new-patient visit at (843) 486-2170 and leave a voicemail if it rings busy. They open early but close before lunch on certain Fridays, so weekday afternoons work best for most workers. Insurance forms are scanned and stapled on arrival, streamlining the paperwork.

Find the quickest route via the map and double-check the cross-streets before you leave—construction near the railroad can snarl traffic. Good luck getting in without a wait.
