Your first visit with us at Greenville Family Smiles is important. Our team will take the time to get to know you, ensure your comfort, and understand your personal vision for your smile.
When you choose our family dental practice in Greenville, you'll never experience any pressure to schedule a treatment you don't need. Instead, we'll take time during your new patient exam to thoroughly assess your oral health and bite, take any necessary x-rays, and review our findings with you.
Your new patient experience will be tailored to you, and may include a dental cleaning along with your comprehensive exam. Dr. Goldston will share her treatment recommendations with you, including all available options for your care, in a way that's easy to understand. Once we’re finished, our friendly office team will set up a time for you to visit us for your next cleaning, so you can maintain your best possible oral health.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer sedation dentistry?
Yes! Dr. Goldston is a trained and experienced sedation dentist. We offer both conscious oral sedation as well as nitrous oxide sedation in our Greenville dental office.
How long have you been practicing dentistry?
Dr. Goldston has been practicing dentistry since 2008. She and her husband relocated often due to his service in the US Navy, but they returned to South Carolina to settle down and for Dr. Goldston to open her own dental practice.
Are you a pediatric dentist?
No. We are a general family dental provider. However, Dr. Goldston has worked several years in pediatric dental offices, providing expanded dental services to young children and patients with special needs.
How do I know if I need to have a dental crown?
Crowns are necessary for restoring teeth with large fractures, cavities, or root canals. Instead of repairing a small segment of the tooth like we do with fillings, crowns will cover the entire tooth above the gums. This protects the tooth from breaking down further. An exam and x-ray is all that we need to decide whether or not a crown is necessary for your tooth.
Do I need my wisdom teeth extracted?
Wisdom teeth may need to be removed due to chronic pain, infection, or damage to adjacent teeth. In some cases we will recommend taking the 3rd molars out before problems start. We will take a panoramic x-ray to assess the wisdom tooth and the area around it before making a decision.
What are dental implants?
Dental implants are artificial replacement teeth that are anchored into your bone like a real tooth. They can function as stand-alone new teeth, or to support restorations like bridges and dentures.
Can I get a smile makeover at your Greenville office?
Absolutely. We offer many cosmetic dental treatment options like veneers, whitening and composite bonding. Your smile makeover can be whatever you want it to be!
