As your family dentist, we provide comprehensive dental care for patients of all ages, from young children through seniors. Our services typically include preventive cleanings, examinations, fillings, crowns, bridges, dental implants, and cosmetic treatments. We offer comprehensive general dentistry services to help you maintain optimal oral health, covering procedures from crowns and bridges to dental implants. Having one provider for your whole family can simplify scheduling and allow us to track oral health patterns across generations.

Most families benefit from scheduling dental checkups every six months. The American Dental Association recommends a schedule based on each person's risk: twice a year for healthy, low-risk patients, and more often for anyone prone to cavities or gum disease. Some people may need to visit more frequently, particularly those with a history of gum disease, frequent cavities, or certain medical conditions like diabetes, for whom we might recommend coming in every three to four months. We can determine the right interval for each member of your family.

Your first visit is designed to give us a thorough picture of your oral health. Our dental assistant or hygienist will review your paperwork and concerns, take dental X-rays, and perform a hygiene assessment. We will then conduct a comprehensive exam covering your teeth, gums, and bite, along with an oral cancer screening, followed by a discussion of any treatment recommendations. A typical dental checkup takes between 30 and 60 minutes. We encourage you to bring a list of any current medications and mention any dental anxieties before your visit begins.

Yes, sedation options may be available if you experience dental anxiety. We provide sedation dentistry for patients who are particularly anxious about dental visits, helping to make the experience more comfortable. We can administer an oral sedation option that may be more effective than nitrous oxide; you may not remember the entire procedure and will need someone to drive you home afterward. If you feel nervous about dental care, we welcome you to discuss your concerns with our team before any treatment begins.

We offer a broad range of general and restorative dental services under one roof, including preventive dental care, tooth fillings, crowns and bridges, dentures and partials, TMJ treatment, periodontics, safe mercury filling removal, and fluoride-free options. We provide high-quality dental care using the latest advances in technology and strive to give each patient the attentive, personalized care needed to promote true oral health. Contact us to discuss which services may best address your individual needs.

If you prefer a more holistic approach to dental care, you may find fluoride-free options available. Our goal is to provide patients in the Greenville, South Carolina area with dental services that are not just effective but also safe, which is why we offer fluoride-free dental work. We provide dental cleanings and oral treatments designed to be completely safe, and we can give you detailed information about fluoride and help you eliminate it from your oral care routine if desired.

A stable dental team allows us to build trust with patients and provide more personalized, continuous care over time. Our team has been together for over 10 years, with most staff having started when we opened our practice in 2004, so you will always see a familiar face on return visits. Consistency among our staff can be especially valuable for families with children, as it helps young patients feel comfortable and reduces anxiety at appointments.

Cosmetic dentistry can address a wide range of aesthetic concerns, from stained teeth to chips and cracks. We offer high-quality cosmetic dentistry, combining the latest dental techniques with professional expertise to improve the appearance of smiles for patients of all ages. Our cosmetic services include teeth whitening, veneers, bonding, and inlays and onlays. You can schedule a consultation with us to discuss which cosmetic treatment may be the best fit for your smile goals.

Our lead dentist, Dr. Jeff Johnson, holds a DMD degree and has completed specialized advanced training. He is a Clemson University graduate with a degree in microbiology, earned his DMD from the Medical University of South Carolina, and completed advanced training in surgery and prosthetics during a hospital residency at the University of Virginia before coming to Greenville. He is a member of multiple local and national organizations, including the Greenville County Dental Society, Piedmont District Dental Society, South Carolina Dental Association, and the American Dental Association.

Choosing the right family dentist involves evaluating both clinical qualifications and practical fit for your whole family. A family dentist is responsible for your long-term oral health, so it is essential to find a practice your family feels comfortable with and can trust to care for all of your dental needs. Key considerations may include our training and experience, the range of services we offer, office hours that fit your family's schedule, and whether our team is approachable and communicates clearly. We are recognized as a dental office of choice for patients in Greenville, South Carolina, and the surrounding areas.
