Living in downtown Charleston, SC, means enjoying a unique blend of rich history, stunning architecture, and vibrant coastal energy every single day. From the iconic Battery and Rainbow Row to bustling King Street and the beautiful Waterfront Park, life on the peninsula is filled with charm and character. But when it comes to keeping your smile healthy and bright, you don’t have to stay in the historic district.
Just a quick drive across the Ashley River Bridge brings you to Avondale Family Dentistry — your trusted neighborhood dental home, led by Dr. Wendy Haefner.
Convenient & Quick Access From Downtown
Avondale Family Dentistry is located at 765 St Andrews Blvd, Charleston, SC 29407 — only about three to four miles from downtown Charleston. Whether you’re coming from South of Broad, Ansonborough, or the French Quarter, your trip to our office usually takes just five to 10 minutes by car.
After leaving downtown, you’ll cross the scenic Ashley River Bridge and continue onto Savannah Highway, which flows seamlessly into St Andrews Blvd. Along your route, you’ll pass local favorites like the Citadel Mall, West Ashley Park, and the entrance to the West Ashley Greenway — a popular trail for cyclists and walkers. Keep an eye out for familiar neighborhood landmarks like Mex 1 Coastal Cantina and Triangle Char & Bar; once you see them, you’ll know you’re almost here. Our office is located just past these well-loved spots, making it easy to find and even easier to access.
For those who prefer biking, the route is surprisingly convenient thanks to bike-friendly paths and the West Ashley Greenway nearby. And if you rely on public transportation, CARTA buses from downtown run directly along Savannah Highway and stop close to St Andrews Blvd, so you can reach us without hassle.
Comprehensive Dental Care Tailored To You
At Avondale Family Dentistry, we understand that each smile is unique, and so are your dental needs. Dr. Wendy Haefner and our dedicated team are committed to providing personalized, high-quality care in a warm and welcoming environment.
Dental Cleanings
Routine dental cleanings are the foundation of a healthy smile. Our professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup that even the best brushing and flossing can’t tackle. Not only do these cleanings keep your teeth looking their best, but they also help prevent cavities and gum disease, ensuring a lifetime of strong, beautiful smiles.
Dental Fillings
Cavities can happen to anyone, but they don’t have to interrupt your life. Dr. Haefner offers gentle, precise dental fillings using tooth-colored materials that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Our goal is to restore your tooth’s function and appearance while making the experience as comfortable as possible.
KoR® & Opalescence® Teeth Whitening
If you’re looking to brighten your smile, we offer two exceptional whitening options: KoR and Opalescence. These professional treatments provide stunning, long-lasting results that far surpass over-the-counter products. Whether you’re preparing for a big event or simply want to boost your confidence, our whitening services can help you achieve a radiant, youthful smile.
