At Simpson Dental Associates, families welcome you and your family.The three generations of Simpson dentists continue the family tradition of creating "Generations of Smiles." We invite you to come experience the difference at Simpson Dental Associates, where families truly come together.

Simpson Dental Associates was founded by Dr. Robert R. Simpson in 1948. "Dr.Bob" is an inspired innovator. His devotion to improving full mouth rehabilitation led him to pioneer new dental techniques that are now used extensively in the field. As a lecturer, he has helped dentists worldwide advance their skills. As a father and grandfather, he continues to train the staff at Simpson Dental Associates.

We feel fortunate to have trained under such a "master". In our Charleston and Ravenswood offices, we strive daily to achieve the level of excellence he instills in us.

Prevention and early detection are the keys to a healthy smile. That's why establishing a positive relationship with our youngest patients is a top priority. This early contact helps guide the proper habits needed to ensure a lifetime of beautiful smiles.

Bring your young child in for our free "SMILE" visit. We'll let them ride in the dental chair, look at our instruments, have their picture taken and pick out a special prize from our treasure chest!

Should your child require additional care we will explain everything and show them so they know what to expect.

Entering adolescence is difficult enough without the burden of unattractive permanent teeth. Misaligned teeth and bite patterns can inhibit smiles and reduce confidence. Fortunately, advancements in modern dentistry can produce beautiful smiles for a lifetime.

Our doctors carefully design treatment programs for each young patient, keeping in mind today's active lifestyles. And we protect that investment by providing protective mouth gear for skiers, football players, gymnasts, and other active young people.

"I've never had trouble with my teeth before . What happened?"

We all want our teeth to last a lifetime. However, 70% of all adults will suffer from periodontal (gum) disease of some point in their life. And many more will require fillings and restorations from youth to be replaced because of wear and leakage.


Decay and disease can begin without symptoms.
That's why proper teeth and gum maintenance means regular and thorough dental examinations. Fortunately, technological advances in dentistry mean that more people than ever can keep their teeth a lifetime. Let our professionals replace our old restorations with more durable modern materials, or eliminate your partial or full dentures prosthesis. We also provide the latest techniques for brightening dull smiles, save broken down smiles or replace missing teeth. You will be able to smiles with confidence.

Seniors have special needs that require special care. For instance, many seniors who have maintained their natural teeth suffer from discoloration, a process that occurs naturally over time. With new techniques such as veneers and bleaching, we are now able to restore that bright and youthful smile more

comfortably and efficiently than ever before. For seniors dissatisfied with their full or partial plates,

especially those who cannot eat the foods they want, we provide the latest in prosthetic implants.

  • We proudly accept the Golden Mountaineer Card or will take 5% off the accounts of all seniors.
  • Transportation is happily provided for senior patients.
  • Our dentists will even visit patients at home or in the hospital if they are unable to come to us.
