Dr. Todd Fruit began his practice on Wilmington Island in 1987. From the very beginning his style of practice was less volume-oriented and more focused on individual patient care. This 'patient- centered' style of practice was a perfect fit as Dr. Fruit's passion began to move towards cosmetic and restorative dentistry. This also allowed him to have more time to develop relationships with his patients, giving the practice a more relaxed and laid back feeling.
Dr. Fruit is a 'one chair' dentist. We do not double book our schedule -we see one patient at a time. We take the time to listen to our patient's dental concerns and then 'co-develop' a treatment plan based on what they need and what they want. Restorative dentistry can be as complex as a full mouth rehabilitation or as simple as restoring minor cavities with a beautiful tooth-colored material.
As health care has taken a turn towards hectic, impersonal, insurance driven businesses, Dr. Fruit has managed to preserve the doctor/patient relationship as it used to be.

A computer controlled anesthesia system that eliminates the dreaded syringe.
We know that some patients get more nervous than others at the mere sight of a needle and syringe.
That's why we now use the wand, a small handpiece that looks like a pen.
This system allows for a virtually painless delivery of anesthetic in a very comfortable, non-threatening manner.
Dental lasers allow us to perform minor surgical procedures quickly and painlessly.
This is particularly helpful when replacing old dental work that extends below the gum line.
