Dr. Craig Thomas proudly holding our plaque we recently received for “Best Dental Practice” for the Berkeley Independent’s 2019 Best of Berkeley Awards! We were honored to be voted Finalist last year and even more so as Winner this year for all of Berkeley County. Next up, hanging this proudly in our dental practice!
Smiling behind our masks because it’s the first day of October which means Halloween decorations are officially up here, AND we are rocking the cutest Halloween scrub caps that Jill Finkbiner Thornton made!🎃💀
Our dental assistant, Nicole L Abate, brought her 1 year old Ansley in for her first dental visit yesterday and she loved it! 🦷 Such a precious, great patient she was!🥰
When your patients bring you donuts from BKeD SHoP.🍩🙌🏼 Thanks Rebekah Hart and Taylor Hart!
More custom take home whitening trays made by yours truly, our whitening specialist, Jill Finkbiner Thornton! We have different options for getting your smile to where you’ll love, so give us a call at (843) 899-5911 to setup a whitening consultation!😁
Thank you Jackson Pediatric Dentistry for sending us this cute Fall coffee bundle today. Here’s to hoping this cooler weather stays put!😉☕️🍂
Referrals are the highest form of a compliment we can be given! Three existing patients who refer NEW PATIENTS to us from now until November 30 will have a chance to win 1 of 3 amazing prizes being raffled: one $250 Amazon gift card, one $100 Amazon gift card, and one $50 Amazon gift card. We are so thankful for your trust in us and for the opportunity to serve your family and friends!🥰
Who has been to the annual “Scarecrows on the Square” at Hutchinson Square in Summerville this year? Dr. Craig Thomas’s kids enjoyed checking out some of our specialists’ cute displays this afternoon.🎃
Happiest of birthdays to Dr. Craig Thomas today! Thank you for all you do for us and our patients. We hope you have a wonderful weekend at the beach with your family celebrating!🥳🎈🎉
Endodontic Associates of Charleston hooking us up with some delicious Chick-fil-A chick-n-minis this morning. We can not confirm or deny that they made it past the morning.😉 Thanks y’all!
We are over here getting a head start with buying treats because 3 weeks from today is the Town of Moncks Corner Halloween Drive-Thru Trunk or Treat! We will be volunteering for this fun event which is Wednesday, October 28 from 6-8pm at the Regional Recreation Complex. We can’t wait to see our patients out there! 🎃 👻 🍬
Hard to believe but who has family Christmas pictures coming up soon?!🙋♂️ Time to get your smile shining bright for that photoshoot!😁 We now have “whitening menus” to show the different options we have for whitening. At your next cleaning, be sure to ask your favorite hygienist for the menu to choose which whitening treatment is best for you!
At our Crest + Oral-B lunch and learn we got to see some new electric toothbrushes that have been released. Excited to say we will be offering not only adult but ALSO kid electric toothbrushes to purchase. With the holidays fast approaching, be sure to get one of these for yourself or loved one.🎁
Let’s talk SEALANTS! Dental sealants prevent and protect your kids teeth from things you can’t see. Be sure to talk to your hygienist about all the pediatric dental services we provide next time you have a visit with us!
Do you have a Flexible Spending Account or Health Savings Account? Don’t lose any of those benefits! We accept these accounts as a form of payment in our practice so if you are in need of dental treatment and have been putting it off, now is the time to call us at (843) 899-5911 to get scheduled!
From your dental team here at Carolina Avenue Dental Care, we want to wish everyone a fun and safe Halloween weekend!👻🎃☠️
Last night, the tooth fairies and their favorite dentist enjoyed serving our wonderful community at the Town of Moncks Corner’s annual Trunk or Treat.🧚♀️🦷 We were told they estimated 900-1,000 CARS drive thru this event so it was certainly a huge turnout! We loved seeing everyone’s costumes and smiles on their faces!
Y’all. Moncks Corner showed UP last night! We were out there at Trunk or Treat until well
after 10pm serving this amazing community. The town said they estimated between 900-1,000 CARS drove through the event! A big thank you to Dr. Craig Thomas for bringing us caffeine and bagels this morning as we definitely needed a little pick me up!😉🥯☕️
Looking forward to seeing everyone tonight at the Trunk or Treat Drive Thru! Our tent will be setup in spot #12. Can’t wait to see everyone’s costumes!🎃🍫🧚♀️
🦷 October is National Dental Hygiene Month! What better example than our two hygienists, Jill Finkbiner Thornton and Linda Gillespie Altman, staying on top of their own dental care. Definition of “practice what you preach” right here.😉 Did you know that most dental insurances cover 2 annual cleanings and exams at little or no cost? So if you have dental insurance and haven’t had your second visit for this year, now’s the time to take advantage of your benefits and schedule your appointment! And don’t worry if you don’t have insurance. Give us a call at (843) 899-5911 to ask about our in-office dental savings plan.
What would you do if someone told you there was a SIMPLE way to help prevent cavities? What if you found out it’s relatively inexpensive and only takes less than 1 minute? Good news is there is! Fluoride varnish applied after dental cleanings have been shown to prevent future decay by up to 60%. This means 60% less chance of needing a filling, crown, or even extraction. Call us at (843) 899-5911 to schedule your appointment today!
Halloween may be over, but odds are that candy stash isn’t.😉 This chart is great with giving 5 ways you can help keep your teeth clean during/following Halloween. Also after indulging in all those sweets it’s definitely a great idea to come on in and get your teeth cleaned! Give us a call at (843) 899-5911 to get that cleaning scheduled.😁
Thankful for this Monday and for our awesome and thoughtful dental assistant Rujee for blessing our staff with muffins and mochas to kick off our week together. This staff family is always taking care of each other in countless ways, and for that we remain blessed.
Don’t forget to REFER A FRIEND! There’s $400 worth of Amazon gift cards being raffled, and all you have to do is simply refer your family and friends to us to be seen by November 30 for your name to be entered into our drawing.
More referrals = more chances to win!🙌🏼🤩
Carolina Avenue Dental Care is with Linda Gillespie Altman and 5 others.

Next Friday, November 20th is a day we love where we are able to give back to an incredible community who has been so wonderful to us! We are teaming up again with Old Trolley Dental in Summerville to host "Smiles From the Heart" at 600 Old Trolley Road Summerville, SC 29485 from 8am-1pm.
Do you know someone who is unable to afford dental care and doesn’t have dental insurance? If so, let them know about this! Attendees will be able to pick either one cleaning, one filling, or one extraction which will be provided to them at no charge. We ask that attendees please bring a Picture ID and Medication List with them.
Registration will begin at 7:30 and we will see as many patients as we possibly can in the time that allows.
Use Your Dental Benefits Before Year-End!
Here are 5 reasons why you should make a dental appointment now:
1) Your yearly maximum of benefits renews each year, so at midnight on December 31st, those benefits you already paid for go out the door.
2) Unused dental benefits won’t roll over.
3) Your yearly deductible also starts over when your plan rolls over.
4) Even if you don’t need major dental treatment, you should ALWAYS have your regular dental cleanings to help prevent and detect early signs of cavities, gum disease, oral cancer, and other dental issues.
5) By delaying dental treatment, you are risking more expensive and extensive treatment down the road.
Our schedule always fills up fast before the holidays. Don’t miss out on using your hard earned dental benefits. “Use it...or lose it!”
On Veteran’s Day we honor all of those that have served, especially our favorite here at Carolina Avenue Dental Care, Dr. Craig Thomas. Thank you to all of our Veterans and their families for your sacrifice!🇺🇸
This right here is exactly why we do what we do. This sweet lady was so thankful and happy to have attended our free dental day on Friday and could not stop smiling and laughing.🥰
Our practice teamed up again with Old Trolley Dental Associates on Friday for the annual “Smiles From The Heart” event. This year we were able to provide over $12,000 of FREE DENTAL CARE in less than 6 hours to those in need! Thank you Old Trolley Dental for letting us partner with you again on this important initiative! Also thank you to everyone who volunteered and showed up to this event. What a blessing to be surrounded with like-minded people in this profession who give back to a community that is so good to us. Can’t wait to do it again next year!❤️🦷
Happy #SmallBusinessSaturday! Thank you so much to the many that have supported and continue to support us, as well as other small businesses. When you support a small business, you’re supporting a dream!
Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours! Even though 2020 has had its fair share of challenges, we remain grateful for countless reasons. Thank you for allowing us to continue to serve this community!
Also, we will be closed for the remainder of this week to enjoy spending quality time with our families, but we will resume normal business hours on Monday at 8:00 AM. We pray you enjoy this time with your family and loved ones!❤️🦃🥧
This blessing of a staff of ours is getting ready-to-bake Grab & Go Dinners from Foodies by Jeannie sent home with them for their families tonight. We knew they could use the night off from cooking in preparation for Thanksgiving Day cooking tomorrow.😘 Happy Thanksgiving Eve to our dream team! We are grateful for each and every one of you!❤️
Thank you to our many patients who referred new patients to our practice over the past several months! Yes, 2020 has been nothing short of a tough year, but we remain grateful to our loyal patients and are excited to spread some Christmas joy with this referral raffle this evening.🥰
And our referral winners are...
$50 Amazon gift card: Kristionna Baughman
$100 Amazon gift card: Josie Harrell

December is here, and what a way to kick off the holiday season! Thank you Reagin Orthodontics for this beautiful wreath as well as the Harry & David gift box. Let the celebrations of the Christmas season begin!❤️🎄
Back to Cyber Monday, adults we’ve got you covered too with new electric toothbrushes!😉
-Oral-B Vitality toothbrush for $45. Includes the electric toothbrush, charger, and one extra brush head. This is a good entry-level electric toothbrush and will provide benefits over a manual toothbrush.
-Oral-B Genius X grab-bag for $140 (with a $20 mail in rebate!). Includes the electric toothbrush, charger, extra brush head, toothpaste, floss, and mouthwash. This is an extremely good “smart” toothbrush that cleans the teeth really well and is definitely one of best brushes on the market today.
Give us a call at (843) 899-5911 to reserve yours today to get a head start on having the brightest smile for Christmas yet!
It’s Cyber Monday, and boy, do we have a great gift idea for the kids! We now carry kid electric toothbrushes, and we bet Moana and Spider-Man will be just as big of a hit in your house as ours.😍 A grab-bag costs $45 and includes a kids electric toothbrush, charger, full-size toothpaste, and a pack of flossers. Call us at (843) 899-5911 today to reserve yours!
According to Forbes Magazine, 97% of dental patients don’t use all of their hard earned dental benefits in a year! That means many dental insurance plans are just sitting there with benefits unused that will vanish as soon as the clock strikes midnight on December 31st. These are benefits you have already paid for – don’t let them go to waste so call us at (843) 899-5911 to maximize your dental care while still eligible! “Use it or lose it!”
Thank you Charleston Oral and Facial Surgery for the charcuterie board as well as the KOW Steaks and wine that were just delivered. We are thankful for our continued partnership as well, and we hope you have a wonderful Christmas season!
Carolina Avenue Dental Care continues to be a proud sponsor of the Celebrate the Season Festival of Lights in Moncks Corner. This is the 10th year of this wonderful event, and ALL proceeds from the tour go to benefit local charities. When you drive through, make sure to keep an eye out for our Noah’s Ark light display. It is for sure a favorite of Dr. Craig Thomas’s children.❤️🎄
Thank you South Carolina Dental Association for sharing our story! We are grateful to be in a position to give back to our community this way.
South Carolina Dental Association
December 10 at 7:51 PM ·
ICYMI! On this #ThankfulThursday we recognize Drs. Craig Thomas and Scott Kibler of Carolina Avenue Dental Care and Old Trolley Dental Associates for recently teaming up to provide over $12,000 in free dental care to the underserved in the Town of Summerville, SC. Drs. Thomas and Gilbert identified a needs gap and "Smiles from the Heart" was born. Just another shining example of how South Carolina Dental Association members give back in our communities and support the health and well being of SC citizens! Well done! 👏
#scda #scdentistsgiveback #dentalcare
Even if you are not in need of any major dental work, most insurance plans cover TWO professional cleanings per year. If you have not been in to see us recently for a cleaning, make sure to come in right away to see Jill Finkbiner Thornton or Linda Gillespie Altman.❤️ We have a few last minute openings for 2020 so make sure to schedule your appointment before December 31st to utilize your remaining dental benefits and not let them go to waste. “Use it...or lose it!”
We have 2 last minute hygiene openings for this year! Call us now at (843) 899-5911 to grab these highly sought after appointments. While the kids are out of school and families have some days off around the holidays what better time than now to come in!🎄🦷
Dr. Craig Thomas along with Berkeley Prosthetic Laboratory volunteered with the
Dental Lifeline Network and Donated Dental Services to complete free treatment on another patient this month! Look at her new beautiful smile!
The Donated Dental Services program provides free dental treatment to our country's most vulnerable people with disabilities or who are elderly or medically fragile. These are people who cannot afford necessary treatment and cannot get public aid. We are blessed to be apart of such a generous organization that helps change people’s lives like this.
So enjoyed a wonderful early Christmas lunch today at Halls Chophouse Nexton with this amazing crew. We are beyond grateful for each other everyday and love the chance to spend time together “after hours.”
In regards to the Christmas holiday and office hours, the practice will be closed Thursday, December 24-Monday, December 28. We will be back in the office at 8am on Tuesday, December 29. We pray you are able to enjoy quality family time with your loved ones like we plan to. Merry Christmas! Jill Finkbiner Thornton Karla Wall West Linda Gillespie Altman Nicole L
Here are our latest referral raffle winners who received Amazon gift cards just in time for Christmas!🎁 What an honor it is to give back to our loyal patients. Thank you for your continued trust in us, and a big thank you to everyone who has referred their friends and family to our dental practice.

Love,

A big thank you for the generosity shown to us by our referring specialists this holiday season. It has been quite the year, but we remain thankful for our continued partnerships with you! Merry Christmas!
