The Best Dental Office Ever! Let me start by saying I’ve never had a good dental experience—until now. Clemson Modern Dentistry completely changed that for me. From the moment I walked in, Kayla, Aysha, and Salena at the front desk greeted me with the biggest smiles and a warm hello. I was a walk-in, so I expected a long wait, but nope—I barely had to wait at all. That alone impressed me! Then Rose, my dental assistant, took me to the tray room. If you’ve ever had a dental tray done, you know how uncomfortable those mouthpieces can be. But Rose was practically running back and forth, repositioning them as fast as she could. When I asked why, she said she wanted to make it quick because she knew how uncomfortable they were. That level of thoughtfulness really blew me away. When Dr. Rose came in, her energy was contagious! She was so upbeat and genuinely excited to help. She asked if I had any concerns, then explained everything she was going to do step by step. I’ve never felt more confident and comfortable with a dentist before. And let me tell you about Kaycha, my hygienist. Most cleanings I’ve had in the past felt like construction work on my teeth—painful and rough. But Kaycha was gentle, thorough, and so knowledgeable. She really knew what she was doing, and I could tell she cared. The entire team, including Seven and Shay, made me feel valued and cared for throughout my visit. Clemson Modern Dentistry combines friendly, efficient service with unmatched professionalism. I wholeheartedly recommend them—you won’t be disappointed!

What is the Mouth-Body Connection® ?


The Mouth-Body Connection® refers to the link between oral health and overall health, and the role that the harmful bacteria and inflammation in our mouths play in chronic, systemic disease. That’s why it’s time we talked about more than your teeth. Our office prioritizes your overall health as it relates to your oral health. When we care for your smile we’re also looking out for your entire self.
