About Coastal Kids Dental & Braces - Point Hope
Renaissance Lane runs through the middle of Point Hope, the newest of the developments on the Cainhoy peninsula off Clements Ferry Road, and the patient list at this address skews younger than at the group's other offices for the simple reason that the neighbourhood does. A lot of these appointments are first ones: a one-year-old on a parent's lap, a mouth with eight teeth in it, and a conversation that matters more than the examination.
The first-birthday timing is deliberate. The recommendation is a visit within six months of the first tooth arriving, and the reason is not that a toddler needs a scale and polish. It is that the habits behind early childhood decay are all established by then. A bottle carried to bed, a sippy cup of juice topped up through the afternoon, sweetened medicine at night: each keeps sugar sitting against enamel that is thinner and less mineralised than an adult's. Caught at one, this is a conversation. Caught at three, it is often treatment.
Infant care extends to laser release of tongue and lip ties, the one procedure here regularly booked before a first tooth exists. A restrictive attachment under the tongue or lip presents as a feeding problem rather than a dental one — a shallow latch, clicking, a baby who feeds constantly and still gains slowly. The release is brief and done under topical numbing, and the stretches afterwards matter as much as the procedure itself. It is worth saying plainly that not every feeding difficulty is a tie, and an honest assessment sometimes ends with nothing being cut.
Older children get the full range: exams, cleanings, x-rays, fluoride, sealants, fillings, crowns, extractions, pulp therapy and space maintainers, with nitrous oxide available and special-needs dentistry within the stated scope. Orthodontic treatment is offered on site. Weekdays run 7:30am to 4:30pm and this address holds no Saturday clinic — the Rivers Avenue and Dorchester Road offices carry the weekend block — so the practical draw here is the early start, before the school bell rather than after it. Point Hope suits households along Clements Ferry Road, Daniel Island and Wando. From West Ashley or the peninsula, the Wando bridge puts another location closer.
The Point Hope office of Coastal Kids, on Renaissance Lane off Clements Ferry Road, weighted toward the youngest patients: first-birthday exams, laser tongue and lip tie release for babies struggling to feed, sealants, pulp therapy and space maintainers, with nitrous oxide and orthodontic treatment on site. Weekdays only, 7:30am to 4:30pm, with no Saturday clinic at this address.

We have been going to Coastal Kids Dental & Braces for over a year now and couldn’t be more happy with their services. The staff is amazing! Kind, friendly and so efficient. Thank you for always putting my boys at ease and offering a great experience during each appointment.
Coastal Kids at Point Hope is the best! They are so welcoming and Morgan who works the desk is amazing! They make my children actually want to go to the dentist. So glad to have them here!
Wonderful experience! My son felt safe and relaxed. The team was knowledgeable and explained in details the entire visit. Thank you
Our visit to this place was incredible. The service was excellent, the staff was very friendly, and they have bilingual personnel, which made scheduling our appointment much easier. They were incredibly helpful, answered all our questions, and even have games in the waiting room. Children can watch movies while they're being seen. We were truly very satisfied, and I especially want to thank Dr. Sarah! It was our first time there, and she was the one who helped us communicate, translating for us and vice versa. Thank you so much!
Great experience, fast and super patient with my 2 year old. Great staff where everyone spoke and acknowledged your presence.
My son is 2.5 and his first time visit was very emotional for him but the staff was amazing!! I was so thankful for how kind, quick and supportive they were. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience! We won’t go anywhere else!
We love Dr Sarah! And the entire staff is so kind and helpful! Bringing a toddler to the dentist can be scary for them and challenging on parents but Coastal does such a good job making everyone feel comfortable! Katie was especially good with my toddler today! She and Dr Sarah were definitely meant to work with kids!
My girl loved her first appt today at Coastal Kids in Point Hope! She left saying “I’m just so grateful!” We loved seeing Miss Morgan, Miss Katie, Dr. Sarah, Miss Niya and I feel terrible I can’t remember the name of the amazing xray tech. Truly a great experience today! Thank yall!!!
We had the absolute best experience here! We felt very welcomed from the moment we walked in. My daughter is 1 and they did the best that they could with trying to keep her calm. The dentist and hygienist were amazing. We will definitely stay with them for all future appointments!
I can't recommend Coastal Kids Dental enough! Dr. Sarah Torkian was incredible with my kids—she made their visit fun, quick and easy! She's very knowledgeable and explained everything thoroughly. Special shoutout to the amazing staff: Luis, Amanda, Morgan, and D'asia went above and beyond to make my kiddos feel extra special! The office is so new, kid-friendly, clean, and the whole team truly cares. We'll be back for sure!
