Very professional experience today at Ammons Dental on James Island. Dr H and his assistant Stacey did an excellent job to restore cosmetic filling and look for my damaged front teeth. I had 2 fillings done also with no pain. Then Stacey did a scan to fit me for a night guard, so much better than a plaster mold. Friendly and helpful admin staff too. Highly recommend!

Great staff. Always pleasant. And the work is always top notch. I’ve had a lot of hygienists, and Denise gave the best cleaning. Jesus is the best all around Dental assistant/technician, you name it, he can do it. And with great care. Dr. H is fantastic with great skills and personality. Highly recommend this spot.

I just got my annual exam, x-rays, and cleaning done. The staff was excellent - the secretary was super helpful and transparent explaining to me all the costs prior to my appointment. The dental assistant Jesus was very nice, professional, and made me feel super comfortable. He explained to me what needed to be done and the total cost of it prior to beginning my cleaning.The dental hygienist Denise was very friendly, very thorough, and did an excellent job cleaning my teeth.I would 100% recommend their office to anyone in need. I had an amazing experience!

Superb job by Dr. Michael Ammons & his dental assistant for a replacement of broken/missing tooth + multiple tooth dental bridge stabilization (all front teeth). They patiently gave the required hours to complete the procedures as necessary. Kudos to the entire staff. As a patient who is quite experienced with dental procedures since early childhood, this ranks as a very satisfying experience by the entire knowledgeable & personable clinic personnel. I found this office through a random online browser search; so it was initially a hit or miss risk.

My husband had already been in pain for a week when went to a scheduled appointment for a tooth extraction this morning at an oral surgeon’s office. In addition to his toothache, he woke up this morning with a migraine, which lead him to vomit before we left for his appointment. When we got to the oral surgeon’s office, they refused to extract his tooth because he had vomited. We were devastated at the thought of him having to go through another weekend in terrible pain. I called Ammons Dental on James Island and they told us to come right over. They were booked, but they kindly squeezed him in. He was sedated and his tooth was removed. He feels so much better! The staff were all so kind! From my initial phone call until the time we left, they took exceptional care of him. We are so thankful!

The James Island team has been nothing less then amazing and attentive to my dental needs. I would highly recommend this caring and compassionate team for all of your oral care needs.Update: If I could give Dr. Ammons and the rest of his team 1,000 stars I would. Not only did they answer the phone after hours but Dr. Ammons himself met me at the office at 9pm to help alleviate my pain and perform emergency oral surgery. I was again seen immediate the next morning at 7am so that my new treatment plan could be made. I have never heard of a dental practice being so compassionate and committed to their patients. They really are a one in a million team.

I can't even describe how AMAZING my experience with Ammons was. When I came in I was in a seemingly hopeless situation. I was seeing another dentist for OVER A YEAR with no progress or results toward a broken bridge that left me with a huge space and 2 posted teeth. He recommended unnecessary treatments and Oral Surgery that would cost over $20K. He recommended extractions and dental implants that were so far out of reach for me I gave up. He didn't even so much as clean my teeth. Then I came in to Ammons and they changed my life! On my first visit with Dr. Hustead and team I had an affordable solution that included deep teeth cleaning, fixing cavities, and a brand new appliance to replace one that broke after 15 years of use. My very difficult case was completed in 3 appointments in less than 90 days and I am BLOWN AWAY by how great it looks. The cost was less than what I spent on a year's worth of useless appointments at my other dentist. Not only did he save me from the wrong and terribly negligent advice from my old dentist, but Dr. Hustead gave me details on next steps that could take my smile a step further to being near perfect when I can afford to invest in additional work. Long story short, Dr. Hustead and the full team at Ammons, I LOVE YOU ALL!!! I cried after I got home with my new smile. I never thought my teeth could look this good, and I was so scared that if I couldn't come up with $20K I'd be stuck with no solution. Thank you to each and every team member at Ammons who made me feel like part of the family and not just dollar signs. This is how all businesses should operate.

Dental Financing Made Simple & Affordable

Dental insurance can be quite complicated, so we take that burden off of you.

We file and track your claim, so you don't have to worry about it!

Once we find out what is and is not covered, we will be able to explain to you what you will be financially responsible for before we proceed with treatment. Believe it or not, many dental insurances do cover cosmetic procedures- especially if they are also restorative.

Why Choose Ammons Dental By Design as your next Dentist in James Island, SC

We focus on Holistic Improvement of Your Oral Health

By restoring the structure of your teeth, it also addresses other oral issues. For example, repairing a broken tooth with cosmetic dentistry helps you avoid tooth decay in the future. Dental bridges and implants will improve your speech and chewing ability.

We Make it as Painless as Possible

Many people avoid dentists because they are worried that it will be painful. The staff at our Downtown Charleston clinic understands this. We want you to know that most of the cosmetic dental procedures are minimally invasive and nearly painless.

However, for the more intensive procedures, some of the latest tech improvements and anesthesia can make the procedures easier and safer. We have several options to keep you comfortable during treatment. Of course, if that's not enough, we do offer sedation dentistry - just be sure that you bring someone with you that can drive you home after.

We are More Affordable than You Think

Another common reason that people avoid going to the dentist is because they are concerned about the cost. However, it may not be as costly as you might think- especially when there are restorative benefits involved.

We want you to be confident in Yourself

When you allow our team at Ammons Dental by Design in Downtown Charleston to replace your damaged/decayed teeth, repair chips, close gaps, and whiten/brighten discolored teeth, it improves your confidence. When you're confident, you smile more. In addition, by restoring the structural integrity of your teeth, your oral health is improved. This ultimately improves your overall health and well-being, as well as your quality of life.

We Give You a Natural Smile

Sometimes, patients are concerned that tooth restorations will look fake. However, at Ammons Dental by Design in Charleston, we take the time and care to customize your prosthetics to match your preferences and personal needs. We will work with you to ensure that you are 100% happy with your results. We make sure that your prostheses blend with your natural teeth and try to maintain as much of the natural structure of your teeth as we can.
Happy client after a successful dental surgery

Get back you Smile with Our Missing Teeth Options in James Island, SC

When someone is missing a tooth, the "go-to" treatment option is implants. In addition to replacing a tooth, they also stabilize dentures, bridges, and other dental prostheses. An implant will be surgically inserted into your jawbone. This will stimulate bone growth, causing the bone to fuse around the implant. Once healed, a crown, bridge, or denture will be attached. You can choose between permanent or removable dentures or bridges- both have their advantages and disadvantages.
