A family-owned practice where every visit feels less like a dental appointment and more like catching up on the porch. Gentle care, honest conversation, and beautiful cosmetic work for every age.
“I brought my three boys here and six months later I came back for veneers myself. Dr. Prentiss and the team feel like family — the coffee's always on and nobody's ever in a rush.”
From your three-year-old's first cleaning to the smile makeover you've been thinking about for a decade. One practice, every age, same warm team every time.
Gentle cleanings, sealants, and check-ups for every age, starting at age one. We build trust early so no one grows up afraid of the dentist.
Custom veneers designed to look like your smile, only better. In-office whitening in a single visit, take-home trays included.
Straighter teeth without brackets or wires. A great option for teens and adults — most cases finish in 8–14 months.
Single implants, bridges, and crowns done in-house. Same-day CEREC crowns for when you don't have time to come back.
Dr. Evangeline Prentiss opened Coastal Smile on King Street in 2009 after a decade at a large group practice where patients never saw the same dentist twice. Her husband Tom runs the front desk. Their daughter Maren is one of our hygienists. The team is small on purpose — so every patient knows us by name, and we know them.
Coffee, sweet tea, or sparkling water in the waiting lounge. Fill out paperwork on the iPad, or we'll email it ahead.
A twenty-minute conversation about your goals, history, and any anxieties — before anyone picks up an instrument.
Digital X-rays, intraoral scan, and a thorough but unhurried exam. We'll explain what we see on the monitor.
Three options, written out, with prices — what you need now, what can wait, and what's purely cosmetic. No pressure.
We moved here from Greenville and were dreading finding a new dentist. First visit, Dr. Prentiss remembered my son's Little League team from our new-patient call. My kids actually ask to come now. I don't know how she does it.
I got veneers here before my wedding and cried the first time I saw them. They don't look fake — they look like my smile, just the version I always wished I had. Dr. Prentiss took time with every little adjustment.
Been a patient here for nine years. Tom at the front desk knows every one of my five grandkids by name and remembers their birthdays. Honest billing, gentle dentistry, and the only practice I'd ever recommend in Charleston.
Whether it's your first cleaning in a decade or the smile makeover you've been putting off — we'd love to meet you. Most insurance accepted; friendly financing for cosmetic work.
