TLDR: LOVED Dr. Clayton and her staff. We had a wonderful experience. Full review: We had such an incredible experience with this office from start to finish. As a parent, making decisions about oral ties can feel overwhelming, and I appreciated so much how thoughtful, knowledgeable, and conservative their approach was. Even from my very first phone call, I felt cared for. The staff member I spoke with was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and willing to answer all of my questions thoroughly without ever making me feel rushed or pressured. Scheduling was easy, communication was excellent, and the entire office experience felt calm, welcoming, and professional. Miss Kristen took wonderful care of us doing the intake and preparing us for the consult and made us feel right at home! What stood out most to me was the Dr. Sarah's philosophy and approach. She truly looks at the whole picture rather than automatically recommending a release for every minor indication of a tie. I deeply respected how intentional and conservative she was -- carefully considering whether a release would provide real functional value and benefit rather than treating unnecessarily. That level of integrity and discernment is rare and gave me so much confidence and peace throughout the process. The procedure itself was handled so gently and professionally, and I left feeling incredibly grateful we found this office. I honestly loved the entire experience and would highly recommend them to any family navigating questions around oral ties. read more

Doctor Clayton has been my Dentist for several years. She and her staff have always been the best I have ever experienced in dental care. They are always friendly, making me feel comfortable and safe! I am 70 years old and have had many procedures done over the years, many causing fear of Dentistry. Dr Clayton has never given me reason to wish I had not done the work that needed to be done! She is the best at giving painless Novocaine injections (this has always been a big deal for me!) I have always been impressed with her detail in making sure that I understand completely what is involved in every procedure and answering all my questions before she begins. She also takes the time to call me later to see how I am doing and if I need anything for pain after particularly difficult procedures. I couldn't ask for a more personal physician that cares about my dentistry needs. I highly recommend her and her staff to all my family and friends! read more

Columbia Dental Group is amazing! Dr. Clayton and her staff keep up with the latest in technology and ways to improve dental health and other concerns. I've experienced some issues as I age, even though I had braces as a kid in the 70s. Pre-molars were often pulled in preparation for braces which, unbeknownst to the doctors back then, create issues with so many facets of our health such as minimizing space available in the mouth, breathing issues etc... In a few months Dr. Clayton will also release my tongue tie. No other dentist has ever addressed it with me. It's wonderful to be under the care of a doctor and staff that are dedicated to learning and bringing that knowledge and know-how to their patients, which in turn makes such a difference in our lives. I highly recommend Columbia Dental and am thankful to be under such great care. read more

I'm finally getting my teeth right. Columbia Dental Group has walked me through how to take care of my teeth. It took me a while to Floss, water pick and Brush, but they talked me through it. It helps when you can see the progress. With all the things they have to show me what my teeth looks like, I feel more like doing the things it take to have good teeth. Specially the Monitor which shows me my teeth right in front of the chair. Visuals helps. and a hygienist to explain it all makes the difference. In short, they help me understand tooth care. I think the dentist fixes what's out of control (smile). What ever, I don't claim to know how it all works, I just know its working for me. So now I'm comfortable smiling again. All I can say is thanks. read more

This is my first time at this dental group and the first time in a few years I've been seen for oral health. I was anxious about my visit due to a past dental experience at another location, but Ali Walters, my dental hygienist and Dr. Clayton made me feel so much better and at ease with everything. Ali is the best hygienist there is. She is top notch. She takes the extra time to explain everything and why it is done and why it is so important for our health to keep up routine cleanings and good oral care. Now that I have been to the Columbia Dental Group, I have found my home for my oral healthcare needs!! Thank you all so much for taking the best care of me and getting me out of my shell!!! read more

I recommend the fine treatment at the Columbia Dental Group - hands down. These professionals are kind, caring, and absolutely the best in the country. I fly in from San Francisco California - just to keep my myself in good standings, and I will continue to do so for as long as I have teeth to care for. My fear of dentistry fades away as soon as they go to work. Brandy, smiling at he the front desk - is a breath of fresh air. Erica cleaning my teeth, is a pleasure to be with. And Dr. Clayton has worked on my teeth without pain and with perfect results. Anyone who lives within a hundred miles should be going to these folks - I come 2,300 miles to do so. read more

I go to Columbia Dental Group for Invisalign braces. I had always needed braces and had a bit of dental phobia until Dr. Clayton and her staff put me at ease. I cannot believe the results so far! I am nearing the end of my Invisalign treatment and when I look at pictures of my teeth before the treatment I always ask myself why I waited so long. Dr. Clayton is a perfectionist too, so you can rest assured she will complete any work you need done to the highest standards. The staff are so welcoming and naturally friendly, it is always a joy to see them too! I highly recommend Columbia Dental Group for your next appointment! read more

You'll be as happy as my family is with Columbia Dental Group...Dr. Clayton and the whole staff! You don't think of going to the dentist as a pleasure but with Columbia Dental Group it is just that. Such a knowledgeable and caring staff. Always a full explanation of what will be done and special attention as you are having your procedure done to make sure you feel no pain and to ask if you have any questions. I've always had a good experience here and feel confident that I am in the best of hands. If you need dental work, this is where to go. You won't be sorry. Five STARS! read more

Dr. Sarah Clayton and her staff are great in every way. Friendly. Considerate. Smiling. Very professional. Top notch in my book! Comprehensive, first-rate dental care is what her office represents. I especially appreciate the one-day crowns, as she mills the crown there in the office, eliminating a second trip back to get the crown. Kristin did my prep work yesterday and was very efficient, professional, and considerate. Have been going here three or four years. Highly recommend! read more

Dentistry with compassion is seldom an attribute to the profession, but with Sarah Clayton I experienced dentistry with a beautiful smile, compassion and a game plan to bring back what I lost (my beautiful smile).

She truly wants to help you have a healthy and happy smile. I would highly recommend this dental office if you have special problems with your teeth. read more

I love this practice!! Being new to their office has been so very easy. Since my former dentist retired I was very reluctant to go to another practice. Wish I had made the move much sooner. Everyone is exceptionally in greeting at front desk to info on cost of procedures needed. Works with you on your insurance and and doesn't rush till you have all relevant information to do anything!! Thank you Columbia Dental Group!! read more

I enjoyed my visit, which is saying a lot when talking about the dentist. Dr. Clayton was knowledgeable and took the time to explain the issues she was seeing as well as multiple treatment options. Erica was very pleasant and went above and beyond to make my cleaning a comfortable experience. I was impressed by her depth of knowledge and skill at explaining what was going on with my teeth. read more

We saw Dr. Clayton for my 12 month old's lip & tongue ties. She spent time hearing about his ties, the care he has received leading up to this and looked as well. The lip revision was smooth and quick, Dr. Clayton prayed over us before the revision. She called me personally that evening to check in following the revision. The whole Columbia Dental office was very welcoming and kind! read more

The Columbia Dental Group is nothing short of amazing! The team members are professional, courteous, and go above and beyond with their services! The staff members demonstrate these qualities from arrival to departure! Also, during such uncertainty, it was nice to have Sarah Clayton pray for the procedure before she began! I couldn't say anything but great things about this group!! read more

When I walked in the door I was warmly greeted by Brandy the office manager. She then turned me over to Erica, my Hygienist who did a great job. She was professional, took time to explain to me what she was doing and provided me with some options for other work I needed done. I highly recommend this office to anyone in Columbia or Maury County. read more
