About Us

What Sets Newport Kids Dental Apart

A Fully Digital Experience

Our fully digital practice offers a faster, safer, and more comfortable experience for your child by replacing outdated methods with high-precision technology. Using low-radiation digital X-rays and the smallest digital sensors, we capture detailed images of your child’s smile while prioritizing their safety and comfort. Through seamless digital charting and clear visual communication, we track every milestone of your child’s oral development with pinpoint accuracy, ensuring a transparent and stress-free visit for the whole family.

Minimally Invasive Dentistry

Our team is dedicated to preserving your child’s natural smile using the most conservative and gentle techniques available. Our Minimally Invasive approach prioritizes your child’s comfort by reducing the need for traditional drilling and local anesthetic (“shots”) whenever possible. We offer innovative treatments such as: SMART Fillings: Conservative restorations that protect the tooth. Hall Technique Crowns: Specialized stainless steel crowns placed without the need for drilling or numbing.

Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF): A painless, brush-on liquid that helps stop cavities in their tracks.

Our goal is to provide exceptional, long-lasting dental health with a gentle touch that keeps kids smiling.

Family-Centered Comfort

We know that a visit to the dentist can be a big deal for little ones-and their parents! We warmly welcome parents to stay with their child during appointments to foster a sense of security and trust. Your presence helps alleviate anxiety and allows us to address your questions firsthand.

We don’t just treat patients; we build lasting relationships with families to ensure every visit is a positive, stress-free experience.

Dr. Nina Ho

Dr. Nina Ho is thrilled to be practicing pediatric dentistry in the region she has called home since childhood. After growing up in Charlotte and graduating from Garinger High School, she attended UNC Charlotte for her undergraduate studies before earning her Doctorate at the East Carolina University School of Dental Medicine. Dr. Nina then moved to the University of Louisville to complete her specialized residency in Pediatric Dentistry.

Now a Board-Certified Pediatric Dentist, she has established her practice, Newport Kids Dental, in both Rock Hill and Fort Mill.

Beyond the office, Dr. Nina is a lifelong learner who stays at the forefront of dental advancements through continuing education to ensure her patients receive the best treatment options available.

When she isn’t at the clinic working alongside her dedicated team, Dr. Nina enjoys staying active outdoors, working out, and reading. Above all, she treasures time spent with her husband, her three young children, and her extended family. She feels truly fortunate to partner with local families through Newport Kids Dental, helping children grow into young adults with healthy, confident smiles.
