From Humble Beginnings to Coastal Dental Excellence
Honoring a Reputation That Speaks for Itself
Dr. Cleary’s impact extended far beyond the dental chair. Known for his generosity, leadership, and deep commitment to the Surfside Beach community, he built more than a family — he built trust.
When Tidelands Dental was created, our mission was clear.
Continue what Dr. Cleary started — and grow it with purpose.
- Upholding the highest standards of dental excellence
- Expanding in-house capabilities to provide full-service care
- Serving patients with honesty, empathy, and professionalism
- Maintaining the welcoming, lighthearted environment that sets us apart
Carefully Grown, Never Rushed
We’ve expanded the family slowly and intentionally, ensuring that every new team member, treatment option, and technology aligns with the values our patients have come to expect.
What began as a small, local office has evolved into a comprehensive dental care center, offering everything from preventive cleanings to full-mouth rehabilitation — all under one roof, right here in Surfside Beach.
But while our capabilities have grown, our mission remains the same.
To serve with excellence, treat patients like family, and never cut corners.

It’s about people, purpose, and relationships that last a lifetime.
