Whatley Pediatric Dentistry has embarked on an exciting new chapter, rebranding as Coastal Kids Dentistry to better reflect our connection to the St. Simons Island community. This transformation signifies more than just a name change—it represents our renewed commitment to providing exceptional pediatric dental care for young patients in our coastal region.
The Story Behind Our New Identity
The Georgia Smile Group, a privately and locally owned group of dental practices committed to providing a non-corporate, highly personalized experience, purchased Whatley Pediatric Dentistry, ushering in this new chapter. The transition to Coastal Kids Dentistry emerged from a desire to create stronger ties with our island community while maintaining the trusted legacy of pediatric dental excellence. This reimagining of our practice incorporates elements of our coastal heritage, bringing the warmth and tranquility of island life into every aspect of our patient experience.
What Sets Coastal Kids Dentistry Apart
Similar to the mission of Whatley Pediatric Dentistry, our practice distinguishes itself through an unwavering dedication to pediatric dental health. We combine seasoned expertise with a genuine understanding of children's unique needs. Our advanced clinical protocols and nurturing approach ensure that each young patient receives optimal care in a welcoming environment.
Advanced Technology and Modern Facilities
During your child's first visit, they'll receive a gentle cleaning, a fear-free exam, and digital X-rays. To help parents and children, we also design a special oral health plan for each child, including encouragement and tips on brushing, flossing, and eating right.
Is your child anxious about the dentist? We offer dental sedation. Sedation can range from the use of nitrous oxide to calm a child to general anesthetics used to put patients to sleep.
Comprehensive Pediatric Dental Services
Coastal Kids Dentistry offers a full spectrum of pediatric dental services, from routine preventive care and pediatric dental emergencies to specialized treatments. These encompass preventive sealants, fluoride treatments, early orthodontic evaluations, and the management of dental emergencies. We give special attention to early intervention strategies that promote long-term oral health.
Child-Focused Environment
The office design incorporates elements that create a calming yet engaging atmosphere for young patients. Ocean-themed décor, interactive play areas, and child-sized equipment help reduce anxiety and make dental visits enjoyable. We have carefully curated every aspect of the environment to ensure children feel comfortable and secure.
Meet Our Expert Team
Our specialized team combines extensive pediatric dental expertise with a genuine passion for working with children. Each team member undergoes continuous professional development to stay current with the latest advancements in pediatric dentistry while maintaining the gentle, patient-centered approach that defines our practice.
Location and Accessibility
Coastal Kids Dentistry offers convenient access for families throughout the coastal region in the heart of St. Simons Island, in the same location as Whatley Pediatric Dentistry. The strategic location provides ample parking and simple navigation, making dental visits straightforward for busy families.
Why should you take your child to a Pediatric Dentist vs a General/Family Dentist?
A child’s oral health is an important part of their overall health. Our dentists have received special training to work with children for several years. Our team only works with kids—every day. As a children's and teens' only dental office, we are current on the latest dental advances for children. Just as a pediatrician develops special talents, skills, and knowledge for working with children’s overall health, a pediatric dentist does the same to manage a child’s dental health more effectively.
