Tompkins Orthodontics

Tompkins Orthodontics is a well-established and highly regarded orthodontic practice with a rich history, having served the greater Columbia, South Carolina area since 1966. Founded by Dr. Linn S. Tompkins, Jr. (affectionately known as Dr. T), the practice has since welcomed his son, Dr. Sims Tompkins, and more recently, his grandson, Sims Jr., continuing a multi-generational legacy of orthodontic care. This family-oriented approach emphasizes consistent philosophies, principles, and beliefs regarding patient treatment, from the initial consultation to the completion of treatment. The clinic offers a comprehensive range of orthodontic services for patients of all ages, including children, teenagers, and adults. Their treatment options include traditional metal braces, clear ceramic braces, self-ligating braces, and advanced clear aligner systems like Invisalign. Tompkins Orthodontics stays at the forefront of orthodontic innovations, utilizing cutting-edge technology such as digital impressions and 3D printers to provide precise and customized treatment plans. Beyond traditional orthodontics, Dr. Sims Tompkins holds a unique distinction as the only person in South Carolina Board Certified in both Orthodontics and Dental sleep medicine. This specialized expertise allows the clinic to provide effective solutions for obstructive sleep apnea using custom-created oral devices, offering an alternative to conventional CPAP therapy. Tompkins Orthodontics is committed to delivering high-quality Orthodontic treatment with a strong focus on patient comfort and satisfaction. They prioritize individualized care, assessing each case on an individual basis to create tailored treatment plans for optimal results. Patient testimonials consistently highlight the friendly and professional staff, low wait times, and Dr. Tompkins' ability to explain conditions thoroughly, making patients feel at ease throughout their treatment journey. The practice operates from two locations in Columbia and Irmo, SC, with dedicated business hours to accommodate patient schedules.
