Comprehensive & Compassionate Care

Compassionate Dental Care for the Whole Family

Anxiety is common no matter how old you are.

There are many reasons to go to the dentist, and it’s perfectly natural to feel a little nervous about any one of them. New patients come to us every day feeling anxious about:

• The potential for discomfort.
  “Will you make sure it doesn’t hurt?”


• The dentist’s “chairside” manner.
  “Will you listen to me? Will you stop if I’m uncomfortable?”


• Financial concerns.
  “Will you give me all my options, not just the most expensive ones?”

The answer to these questions is YES! When we say compassionate dentistry, we mean it. That means earning your trust by doing everything possible to make your experience comfortable.

We aren’t interested in merely treating your problem - we want to build a long-lasting relationship with you as your trusted partner in oral health.

Comprehensive Care

Our services at Harbor Point Dentistry include a broad range of procedures to prevent and treat a variety of oral health issues.

Preventative Dentistry

Routine professional cleanings are far more than just a thorough version of the brushing and flossing you do at home. The procedure helps to accomplish three important goals:

1. Prevent the pain and discomfort of tooth decay and cavities.
2. Protect your investment in prior dental work.
3. Identify oral health issues (such as periodontal disease or even oral cancer) and intervene before they become more serious.

Our routine procedure includes:

• Scaling to remove plaque buildup. We use a metal instrument to gently remove plaque (a film created from food, fluid and saliva that hardens on teeth) that contains harmful bacteria.
• Deep brushing and flossing. We use instruments that can brush your teeth far more comprehensively than a standard toothbrush, floss your teeth and closely examine the results.
• A thorough exam and oral hygiene instruction. Our team may identify areas in need of personal oral hygiene improvement. We will demonstrate the proper technique or recommend affordable over-the-counter solutions that you can obtain from your local grocery store. An ounce of prevention is a pound of cure!

Without good personal and professional dental hygiene, you have a much higher risk of developing periodontal disease (“gum disease”) caused by the buildup of plaque bacteria. This eventually leads to the destabilization of your gums and possible loss of teeth.

Basic Restorative

Basic restorative dentistry is a set of routine procedures that restore natural teeth back to health and ideal appearance, including filling cavities, whitening teeth and bonding veneers or caps to aesthetically damaged teeth.

Learn more about basic restorative treatments.

Root Canal Treatment

The root canal is the innermost part of the tooth root, made of pulp that contains the tooth’s nerve endings. When this area becomes infected and inflamed, it can cause pain and/or threaten the life of the tooth. Treatment involves removing the pulp and sealing off the canal.

Learn more about root canal treatment.

Extractions – Tooth Removal

When a tooth can’t be restored, an extraction is needed to prevent the spread of infection and tooth decay to the surrounding teeth. Fortunately, this can be done painlessly with proper anesthetic techniques, and there are many options available to restore your smile after the extraction.

Learn more about tooth extraction and replacement.

Appliances for TMJ, Snoring, and Sleep Apnea Disorders

We create custom oral appliances, such as partial dentures to replace missing teeth, veneers and crowns to address cosmetic concerns or functional issues with your bite, and other appliances to relieve TMJ or sleep disorders.

Emergency Appointments

If you are a patient of record and you have an emergency, you can call Harbor Point Dentistry at 843.706.9662 at any time. You will speak to a real person, not a recorder. While emergency service may be provided to you if you are not yet a patient with us, priority is always given to patients of record. We encourage you to become a patient before you have an emergency!
