In need of a new dental practice I made a blind call to these wonderful ladies. Due to a cancellation Colleen, the hygienist, had me come down for a cleaning and xrays. Two days later Dr. Katie and Emily, the dental assistant, did a crown preparation and a week later the permanent crown was installed. As an older guy, whose had a lot of dental work, I can say without a doubt that the dental work performed was the BEST I've ever experienced! I have found my new dental practice!😁

Dr Katie has a great team at Folly Beach Family Dentistry. Coleen, our hygienist, is both personable and professional. I also love the fact that Dr. Katie is an IAOMT trained holistic practitioner. It’s so nice to be able to discuss our options with a professional who knows that there’s more than one way to go about achieving a healthy smile.

Everytime I go here the staff is amazing, friendly and fun!! I’ve recommended them on several occasions and they never disappoint.
Really love how they have a welcoming decor. Most dentists don’t have that and it makes going to the dentist comfortable!

Favorite dentist I've ever had! Everyone is so nice there and the atmosphere feels like a comfortable house, plus with funny pet videos playing in the background. They take good care of me and it's reasonably priced too!

Colleen Lester was my hygienist today and let me tell you, she is the only person to have gotten through to my stubborn mind the importance of taking care of my teeth. She really cares about you and makes me want to do better for myself and my future. She reasoned with me on a level that she knew I needed to hear. She makes going to the dentist fun and relaxing - like chatting with a friend. Definitely recommend this office, everyone is amazing.

I have a deep fear of the dentist and put off going for ever. I have recently been experiencing pain in my jaw so I reached out to Dr. Christi Richardson and spoke to her of my anxiety and fear. She assured me that I would be honored and respected and safe at the Folly beach family practice. I went for my first consultation February 4. I was… pleasantly surprised and my anxiety was Lessened by the kindness of everyone there. I am glad I faced my fears and that the compassion of everyone in the office made me feel at ease. I will be continuing my much needed dental care at Folly Beach Family

I absolutely cannot say enough wonderful things about this dentistry. Colleen was so patient and kind and made me feel so comfortable every step of the way. Thank you Colleen, your kindness was much appreciated from a very nervous patient. Jack, the emotional support dog, stayed in my lap the entire time and comforted me beyond words. I highly recommend this office, from the front desk staff, to the Doctor, everyone was amazing and affordable as well. 💙💜💚

I have been a patient for over a year and Folly Beach Dentistry has given me the best dental experience I could ask for. I live on Johns Island and work in Mount Pleasant and happily make the drive for all my appointments. Tonya, Emily, and Dr. Katie are always professional, kind, and 100% accommodating. I highly recommend Folly Beach Dentistry to all Charleston area residents looking for a dentist.

I love this place! As someone who does not enjoy going to the dentist, they do a great job at making you feel as comfortable as possible and do great work. Today was my first experience getting a cleaning from Colleen and I highly recommend her. She's super easy going and doesn't just work on your teeth and send you away... she coaches you on how to best take care of your teeth and be proactive and preventive of future issues. I look forward to getting my teeth where I want them to be with Folly family!... Oh, and did I mention that I had a comfort dog on my lap the whole time?! True, and super

My former dentist, Dr. Morrow, retired a while back. He’s been my dentist since I had teeth. I was lost trying to find someone to replace such a great guy. I drive an hour to Folly Beach just to come here. The… atmosphere isn’t the typical medical office, which is relaxing for someone who’d rather have a kidney stone than a cleaning. Natasha is just the friendliest, most accommodating person on the planet! She even has the hookup on parking ✅ ✅ Coming here reminds me of growing up here in Charleston; everybody knows you like family and treats you like a good

Great dentistry!! I couldn't have felt more comfortable in the clean + funky waiting room, and the office is the epitome of colorful Folly Beach! After not seeing a dentist for a (shameful) number of years, Technician Kimberly was not only thorough but took tremendous care to make sure that I was comfortable throughout the cleaning. After my… x-rays were taken, Dr. Christy took the time to explain to me what exactly I was looking at, what procedures needed to be done, and both Kimberly and Christy discussed pricing with me before any work was completed. I definitely recommend Folly Beach

They tell you one price and charge you another higher price! Then they only wanted to clean one side of my mouth charge me over 200$. Then come back at another over 200 to clean the rest. Never heard of being charged over 400$ for a cleaning! Needless to say I will never go back to this dentist. Horrible since they moved to a new location on Folly Beach.
