Smiling Oak Dentistry Mount Pleasant, SC…read more Better late than never! I should have written this review a long time ago because Dr. Jeff Gardner and the entire team at Smiling Oak Dentistry have been absolutely outstanding over the years. One of the things I appreciate most is how accommodating they are. If you have a problem, they'll often get you in the same day or the very next day. That kind of customer service is hard to find these days, and it's one of the many reasons I keep coming back. Over the years, Dr. Gardner has taken care of everything from routine cleanings to crowns, implants, and cosmetic dental work. Every experience has been professional, friendly, and pain-free. Recently, I noticed I was losing some enamel on one of my front teeth and was worried it would continue to get worse. Dr. Gardner repaired it, and I was honestly blown away. I still can't believe how perfect it looks! The colour match is absolutely flawless--you genuinely cannot tell where the repair was made. It looks completely natural, and the attention to detail is incredible. That's the kind of craftsmanship that separates a good dentist from a truly exceptional one. The entire team is welcoming, caring, and makes every visit a positive experience. They genuinely take pride in their work, and it shows in every smile that walks out the door. If you're looking for a dentist in the Mount Pleasant area for routine cleanings, cosmetic dentistry, crowns, implants, or just an office that truly cares about its patients, I couldn't recommend Smiling Oak Dentistry more highly. Five stars aren't enough. Three thumbs up from me!

Also, the cleaning felt like my mouth was having a massage with the most delicious tasting cleaning paste they used(I think it was marshmallow flavored)! It was actually great!

We discussed my tooth pain and they referred me for a possible root canal, but let's get an appointment for a cleaning in the meantime. There's laughing gas, headphones, it shouldn't be too bad. For something I truly fear doing (going to the dentist), it wasn't a terrible experience Fast forward to 11/13, the cleaning appointment. I felt totally shamed by the hygienist. She went on and on about how terrible my teeth are and how she won't be able to do a full cleaning in one session and I'll have to come back. I'm literally laying there in tears and a panic attack and just disassociating through it all. No offers of a blanket or laughing gas or anything. She just wanted me out of her chair. Today, 11/15 - I just went to the ER because I was in so much pain after the cleaning and the swelling in my face was getting worse. My cheek and chin are numb because I definitely have an abscess now. ER gave me antibiotics and told me to follow up with Smileworks or the endodontist tomorrow.

I used to go to this office exclusively for a while. Dr. Seay is an excellent dentist and really…read moremakes you feel comfortable. Her office is state of the art and she's great about walking you through what's going on with your treatment and why. Others may not, but I appreciate this time to understand why or why not a procedure, surgery, etc... is needed. She uses digital cameras and photos to show you one tooth vs another so you become a part of the process. I definitely recommend Dr. Seay personally, she's excellent. I still live in Park West but I no longer go to this office and I'll tell you why. After a visit and a recommendation to see an oral surgeon about having a tooth removed, I did. I went to Dr. Maltezos for a consult and it was recommended that a particular tooth be removed and an implant be put in. I wasn't opposed to this, but at the time, the tooth wasn't causing a problem and I was in-between jobs with no dental insurance or extra money to pay for such an expensive procedure. I had a family friend who had been my dentist for years look over the x-rays and his suggestion was that there was no immediate problem so there was no issue with waiting. Months later, I was having some sensitivity and needed a cleaning anyway. I came in to find that Dr. Seay had taken leave (I think for a few months) so I was informed that I would be seeing a different dentist. It turns out, my dentist for the day was Dr. Maltezos wife. I told her about the sensitivity in that tooth, which had actually passed, and wasn't bothering me. She pretty much scolded me after looking at her husbands recommendation and asked me "why is this tooth still in your mouth?". Um, maybe because I wasn't ready to have a tooth permanently taken out that wasn't causing me any problems and was going to cost thousands of dollars that I didn't have... that's a start. She then belittled every response I had and just ruined my experience there. It truly felt like she was just trying to push business onto her husbands office. I never ended up going back. I went to another dentist who agreed that the best tooth to have is the one that's in your mouth. I would have stuck with that dentist, but there was an insurance issue. I've now moved on to another office and actually had a new consult for the tooth. It finally started causing a problem almost 3 years later. I ended up eventually having the tooth out, which I mentioned, was my goal eventually, but I was able to do it under my own terms and when I had my insurance back in place to help defer the cost. Part of me wanted to knock this review down lower because of how my experience took such a 180, but Dr. Seay doesn't deserve that. She really is a great dentist. The office isn't cheap, but they're not sparing a single expense when it comes to the most up to date and top of the line equipment. Park West Dentistry is a great office, but I would never see Mrs. Dr. Maltezos again.

He needed an expander and while there were other options available (removable) they only presented 1 to us. And, honestly the technology and apparatus they suggested are archaic.

Would not recommend to anyone I care about.
