The practice is led by Dr. Julie B. Dimock, Dr. Adam W.

The clinic's mission is to provide excellent oral health care for children from infancy through adolescence (ages 0-18) in a positive, comfortable, and secure learning environment. They emphasize the importance of preventive dentistry, including comprehensive infant oral exams, education on brushing, flossing, diet, and fluoride, caries risk assessment, and guidance on habits like thumb-sucking and pacifier use. Their services also cover restorative care, such as tooth-colored fillings, nerve treatments, crowns, and extractions. Coastal Carolina Pediatric Dentistry employs various behavior management methods, including "Tell-Show-Do," positive reinforcement, and distraction techniques, to help children feel relaxed and confident during their visits. For more complex cases or highly anxious children, they offer conscious sedation and general anesthesia, administered by their highly trained and certified dentists who hold BLS and PALS certifications. The clinic also addresses minor orthodontic corrections for developing children. The practice prides itself on creating a child-friendly atmosphere, with offices designed to be inviting and fun, including a "Teen Zone" with TVs and Xboxes to cater to older patients. Patients and parents consistently praise the clinic for its efficient, professional, friendly, and compassionate staff, who are known for making dental visits a positive experience for children. Dr. Dimock, Dr. Weinberg, and Dr. Cherry are active members of professional organizations, including the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, and are committed to ongoing education to provide the latest and most effective treatments.
