Meet Our Doctors

Dr. Gaines W. Hammond, III
Dr. Gaines Hammond brings a passion for providing exceptional dental care, with a philosophy centered on treating patients with the same level of care he would offer his own family. A native of Spartanburg, SC, Dr. Hammond earned his undergraduate degree in Financial Management from Clemson University, followed by a Master of Business Administration from the University of South Carolina. After a career managing small businesses, he felt called to dentistry, sparking a transition that led to a Master of Science in Medical Sciences and a Doctorate in Dental Medicine (DMD) from the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC).
Dr. Hammond furthered his expertise by completing a residency in Advanced Education in General Dentistry at MUSC. During his residency, he trained in all areas of dentistry.
Outside the office, Dr. Hammond enjoys spending time with his family, swimming, running, and staying active in the local Charleston community.
