Dr. Chermaine Lyde is from Lee County. Her father served in the U.S. military, so she grew up traveling to many different places.

She then went on to complete a General Practice Residency at Palmetto Health Richland Dental Center in 2008.

Dr. Lyde is married with two sons. When she is not practicing dentistry, Dr. Lyde loves spending time with family, attending her son’s football and basketball games, cooking, and traveling.
Dr. Me’Chell L. James is a native South Carolinian originally from Wadmalaw Island.

Our private treatment rooms have TVs, so you can put your favorite show on during your treatment. If you tend to experience dental anxiety, we offer relaxing sedation options that can relieve anxious thoughts and help you relax during your appointment. For the kids, we have child-friendly books and a child-friendly play area they can use while they are waiting in our waiting room. You can also find local art in our lobby, a small detail that we think adds some Columbia charm to our office. We believe little comforts like these can make a big difference for patients who come to visit us!
Utilizing state-of-the-art technology is an essential part of providing high-quality dental services. Our team uses digital X-rays, which can offer sharper, more detailed images and can help diagnose problems quickly and accurately. We also utilize panoramic X-rays, which can offer a complete picture of the teeth and jaw and how they are interacting together.
