West Ashley Family Dentistry West Ashley Family Dentistry As a result of our efforts, our patients have beautiful and long lasting smiles!

Who We Are
We are a dental practice that takes pride in its ability to restore and enhance the natural beauty of your smile using only the latest and most conservative procedures. Quality Care
We strive to provide high quality, personalized dental care. With comprehensive treatment planning, we strive to help all our patients achieve the maximum dental health benefits. In case of an emergency, we will make every effort to see you as quickly as possible. Preventive Care and Education
We believe in the concept of preventive care and education when it comes to optimal dental health. Our goal is providing β€œdental health care” rather than β€œdisease care,” which is why our practice places so much emphasis on thorough oral examinations. We understand that routine cleanings, flossing, sealants, and fluoride are very important factors in preventing dental disease. We focus not only on the beauty of your smile, but your overall health as well. Reviewing your medical history helps us stay informed about your medical health and any issues that may be related to your dental health. Safety Precautions
At West Ashley Family Dentistry, we strive to make sure that our office environment is one where your safety is paramount. We go above and beyond the standards recommended by the American Dental Association (ADA), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the Center for Disease Control (CDC) in order to ensure that your visit to our office is as germ-free as possible. Training and Expertise
Your dental health is important to us. To maintain the high level of service and results that you demand and deserve, the doctors and staff at West Ashley Family Dentistry are continually updating our education by participating in dental lectures, meetings, and conventions all across the southeast so that we remain up to date on any new techniques, products, and equipment that become available. Making Your Visit Positive
We want to build a foundation of trust with our patients to help ease your fears about visiting the dentist. Some people naturally feel uneasy about dental visits, so if we can help your experience be a relaxing and positive one, we have accomplished a major goal. Dr. Dickert, Dr. Lynn, as well as the rest of our staff are dedicated to making sure that you have excellent personalized care in order to make your visits as comfortable and pleasant as possible. If you ever have any questions or fears, we will be glad to discuss them with you and try to figure out how we can help alleviate them. We appreciate your faith in us, and thank you for the opportunity to take care of your dental needs.

October is giving us double the reasons to celebrate! πŸŽ‚πŸ’›βœ¨
Two birthdays. Two incredible team members. And approximately zero complaints about the cake situation around here. πŸ˜„πŸŒΏ
Please join us in wishing the happiest of birthdays to two of the most beloved members of West Ashley Family Dentistry
🌸 Heidi β€” our extraordinary dental hygienist who shows up every single day with the skill, the warmth and the genuine care for every patient.
πŸ’› Jessica β€” our wonderful patient coordinator whose grace, care and tireless dedication make every single person who walks through our doors feel instantly welcomed.
Two very different roles. The same enormous heart. And this practice would simply not be the same without either one of them.
Heidi and Jessica, we are so grateful you chose us and so lucky we get to celebrate you! πŸŽ‚
Please drop a πŸŽ‚ in the comments to help us celebrate these two wonderful ladies. They deserve every single one! πŸ‘‡πŸ’›

πŸ‘» We see you. And we know what you have been doing. πŸ‘»
That's right. We are talking to you. The one who keeps meaning to schedule that appointment. The one who has been telling yourself "next month" since approximately February. The one who just casually scrolled past this post hoping we would not notice.
We noticed. πŸ˜„πŸŒΏ
Here is the thing about ghosting your dental appointments. Unlike ghosting a text message, which we are not here to judge, ghosting your dental visits has real consequences. Ones that tend to show up quietly, without warning, and at the most inconvenient moment.

Cavities that could have been caught early. πŸ‘»
Gum disease that has been brewing in silence. πŸ‘»
A little problem that became a big one simply because nobody looked. πŸ‘»

Now THAT is actually scary. 😱🌿

The good news? There is nothing scary about coming to see us. We promise. No judgment for the gap. No lecture about how long it has been. Just a warm welcome, a thorough and gentle visit, and the peace of mind that comes with knowing exactly where your oral health stands.

Do not let this be the horror story that did not have to happen. Book your appointment before something really scary shows up and leave the ghosting where it belongs. In the past. πŸ‘»πŸ’›

We are saving a chair for you. 🌿

Sometimes the simplest words carry the most weight. πŸ’›πŸŒΏ
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐�"Friendly staff and very knowledgeable dentist!"
Eight words from a patient who has been with us for years and has seen firsthand, appointment after appointment, exactly what this practice is made of.

Friendly and knowledgeable. To us those two things are inseparable. Because what good is expertise without warmth? And what good is warmth without the skill and knowledge to back it up? The magic of truly exceptional dental care lives right in the space where those two things meet and creating that experience for every single patient, every single visit, is something our entire team shows up for every day. 🌿
To our wonderful longtime patient, thank you! For your loyalty, your trust, and for eight perfectly chosen words that made our whole team smile. You have been such a joy to care for. πŸ’›
If you have been searching for a dental home that is equal parts knowledgeable and genuinely kind, we would love to welcome you in. 🌿

She came in wanting a whiter smile. We started with the gentlest option first. And it was all she needed. πŸŒΏπŸ’›

When this patient came to us hoping for a brighter, whiter smile, we did what we always do. We started with the most conservative, least invasive option available before ever considering anything more aggressive.
That option was glycine air polishing. 🌿
And the result? She was so delighted with the improvement in the shade of her teeth that she did not need or want anything else.
No whitening trays. No bleaching agents. No chemical treatments of any kind.
Just a gentle, comfortable, single appointment that removed years of surface staining and bacterial biofilm and revealed the natural brightness that had been quietly hiding underneath all along. ✨
This is something we feel deeply passionate about at West Ashley Family Dentistry. Before we ever recommend a whitening treatment, we want to make sure we have explored every conservative option first.
Glycine air polishing does something that traditional polishing and even professional whitening cannot fully replicate. It removes the biofilm and surface staining that dulls your smile at its very source; gently, precisely, and without removing healthy enamel. For many of our patients the result is a shade improvement that genuinely surprises them.
It surprised her too. In the very best possible way. πŸ’›
To our wonderful patient, thank you for trusting us to start gently. Your smile is absolutely radiant and it was that way all along. We just helped you see it. 🌿
If you have been thinking about whitening your smile, come talk to us first. The answer might be simpler, gentler, and more natural than you ever expected.

Raise your hand if you have ever stood in the toothpaste aisle completely overwhelmed. πŸ™‹πŸ’›
You are absolutely not alone. There are dozens of options, hundreds of claims, and zero guidance on which one is actually right for you and your specific health picture.
So we made you a video. 🌿
Because here is something we believe deeply; the right toothpaste is not the most expensive one, or the most popular one, or the one with the flashiest packaging. It is the one that is matched to what your mouth actually needs right now.
Here is a quick snapshot of what we cover in the video:
🌿 GLP-1 medications and acid reflux β€” If you are on a GLP-1 medication or deal with acid reflux, your teeth are facing a very specific kind of challenge. Stomach acid that reaches your mouth, even occasionally, quietly erodes enamel over time in a way that not every toothpaste is designed to address. We have a recommendation that is.
🌿 Sensitivity to cold β€” Few things are more disruptive than that sharp, jarring sensation every time you reach for something cold. Sensitivity toothpastes are not all created equal and we share the one that actually works and why.
🌿 Recurrent mouth ulcers β€” If you are someone who struggles with frequent canker sores or mouth ulcers, your toothpaste may actually be making things worse without you even realizing it. We explain what to look for and what to avoid.
🌿 Fluoride free options β€” For patients who prefer to avoid fluoride, whether for personal, wellness, or health related reasons, there are genuinely good options available. We share our recommendation to make sure you are still giving your enamel the support it needs.
⭐ And our personal office favorite β€” We saved the best for last. This is the one our team reaches for personally, and the one that checks the most boxes for whole body wellness. You are going to want to watch all the way to the end for this one. πŸ˜„πŸŒΏ
Your toothpaste matters more than most people realize. Choosing the right one for your specific situation is one of the simplest and most impactful things you can do for your oral health between visits.
If you have questions about which option is right for you, ask us at your next visit. This is exactly the kind of conversation we love! πŸ’›

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐This is the review that says everything. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Every. Single. Member. Of. Staff.
We could not be more proud of those words because building a team where every single person shows up with the same level of warmth, the same commitment to kindness, and the same genuine care for every patient who walks through our doors is something we work toward intentionally every single day.
It is never just one person. It is all of us. Together! 🌿

To our wonderful patient, we thank you for seeing us so clearly and for sharing it so generously. πŸ’›
If you have been looking for a dental home where every single person in the building genuinely cares about you, we would love to welcome you in. 🌿

Jessica has an important reminder for you and trust us, you are going to want to hear this one. πŸ’›πŸŒΏ
The end of the year is closer than it feels and if you have dental insurance, there is something you need to know right now.
Most dental insurance benefits reset on January 1st.
That means every dollar of coverage you have not used by December 31st simply disappears. It does not roll over. It does not carry forward. It does not wait for you. It’s just gone. 🌿

If you have been putting off a cleaning, a crown, a filling, or any treatment we have discussed, the end of the year is genuinely the best possible time to get it done. Your benefits are there. Your coverage is active. And the only thing standing between you and using every dollar you are entitled to is a phone call or a click.
The catch? End of year appointments fill up fast. Every year without exception our December schedule fills long before the month arrives and we don’t want you to miss out.
So don’t wait! πŸ’›
Call us today, send us a message, or click the link to book your appointment before the spots are gone and before your 2026 benefits disappear along with them. 🌿
Jessica and the entire West Ashley Family Dentistry team are ready to get you in and we would love to see you before the ball drops and 2027 is here. πŸ˜„πŸ€

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Update after multiple years." πŸ’›πŸŒΏ
Those four words mean everything to us.
Because anyone can have a great first appointment but a patient who comes back year after year, through crowns and orthodontic treatment and everything in between and still has nothing but great things to say? That is something we hold with tremendous pride and even greater gratitude.

"I am absolutely ecstatic about the end result." πŸ’›βœ¨
We love when a patient's own words say everything. And this one? This one says it all.
This patient came to us unhappy with the way her teeth looked. She had a vision for what she wanted and she also had a life full of commitments that made a traditional treatment timeline feel impossible.
So we did what we always do. We built the plan around her. 🌿
Dr. Dickert worked carefully and thoughtfully around her travel schedule taking the time needed at every appointment to make sure every detail was exactly right. No rushing. No cutting corners. No asking her to choose between her life and her smile.
Just an unhurried, deeply personal experience that ended with something she absolutely loves.
The color. ✨�The shape. 🌿�The way they look completely, naturally, unmistakably hers.
"They look extremely natural. I'm extremely happy."
This is what whole body wellness dentistry looks like when it is centered entirely around the person: their schedule, their vision, their life, and their joy. Because your smile should never feel like a compromise and the process of getting there should never feel like an inconvenience.
If you have been unhappy with the way your teeth look and have been waiting for the right time, the right place, and the right provider, we would love to be that for you. 🌿
Your result could look and feel exactly like hers. πŸ’›
