When I first arrived at BFD maybe a decade ago. I was terrified. I hadn't seen a dentist in years…read moredue to the discomfort/pain/shame I experienced every time I entered a dentists office. I had dental procedure anxiety (self-diagnosed) something fierce. I never flossed. Brushed a few times a week. "You wouldn't be bleeding so much if you flossed," some so- called 'dental professional' would tell me. "It wouldn't hurt if you weren't stabbing me in my gums with no empathy," is what I would think to myself as I white knuckled some satanic saddle of dental doom, wishing I could afford gaseous ambivalence. When the pain in my mouth finally achieved victory over my fear of procedural pain, into BFD I walked. Janet sweetly laughed when I asked for gas, or benzodiazapine, or anything to rest my anxiety. "You'll be fine, I've been at this for years." She was right. While it took a while to un-f#({ the results of my dental neglect, I learned a lot. I was shown how easy it is to floss (with a floss pick- that's not cheating; it's just as effective as cumbersome filament floss). Dr. Drossner helpfully suggested I slip it onto my daily routine. I started flossing every time I waited for my shower to warm up. I quit skipping a good brushing to save a couple minutes. I'm not at 100%, but I'd get a solid A on the 1990s grading scale for sure. Eager excitement nearly effortlessly replaced anxiety and avoidance in advance of my semiannual oral inspection. The staff at BFD remember my chosen name (not just my government one). They find ways to make my visits cheaper. They remember that I don't like their music - they don't change it, but they remember. Dr. Drossner congratulates me on my newfound acceptance of daily tooth washing. Janet gives me a hug before I leave. I never knew until this morning after Janet effortlessly and (almost- I ain't perfect) painlessly descaled and polished my teeth, that dentists and hygienists experience anxiety about giving people anxiety. If you squirm at the dentist's office, they have to suffer their own discomfort with a HIPPA-suggested countenance of indifference. That means, everybody wins if daily dental diligence becomes standard. If you live in Beaufort or the surrounding areas, do your mouth a favor. Go see the folks at BFD. And at the very least, start brushing and flossing every day. It's better to floss your teeth every day for less than a minute than to hate a dental professional or yourself for an hour every six months. My name is Thieme Hall and I support this message.

I went to a local dentist here in Beaufort who retired a year or so ago and his practice was purchased by another dentist. Never felt the same connection. Had an emergency dental issue and the new dentist wasn't available for me. Knew I had to change dentist at some point. Called Dr. Wyles office and was offered very quick appointment. Always a little nervous with cleanings as I had a bad experience in the past, but let me tell you: Erin was wonderful! Felt at ease the entire time. I probably talked her head off but she was kind enough to listen to me try to talk. Best local dental practice in Beaufort.

I found a few dentists in my insurance network but Dr Wachtel was the only one able to see me quickly. At the office, the staff was really sharp! I barely sat down before the Dental Assistant called my name. We took X-rays which showed I needed two crowns to protect the chipped teeth. To cut to the chase, Dr. Wachtel is super experienced, calming and friendly. He clearly explained every step of the work as it progressed. I can tell he has great skill and a good way with people. I worked in a dental lab years ago and met all kinds of dentists. Dr. Wachtel stands out to me as one of the best. I'll stick with him for sure.

I flew in four separate times from California because after a lot of research, I knew Dr. Porcelli was the one I could trust to be patient, immaculate, and impeccable with his work. And sure enough, I was right. I know I have already written a review, but I absolutely felt I needed to follow up after the completion of my work. Again, his staff is unbelievably hard-working. They are all incredibly invested in each patient and really know/understand each individuals needs. Dr. Porcelli's wife, Alina, manages the practice, and is seasoned in all things dentistry and health. She is an absolute star as far as I'm concerned. Your happiness is their primary concern and they absolutely guarantee it. If you're seeking a veteran cosmetic dentist, whose professionalism goes beyond just dentistry, but rather, overall health and wellness, look no further. If you're looking for a place whose staff will all know you by name and will greet you with warmth and familiarity, please, please call this office. Thank you to everyone at the Biological Center for Dentistry! Pure excellence all around.

What sets this practice apart is, well, everything! Dr. Babb is friendly, kind and the best at what he does. His practice is state of the art. I had not had a cleaning in several years and his hygienist gave me the least painful cleaning I have ever received. The office staff is top notch and go out of their way to make sure you understand their billing and what you can expect to pay after insurance. NO ONE pressures you to have services you (or your budget) may not be ready for. Last, but certainly not least, Dr. Babb's staff genuinely like him - I heard one young staff member tell him that she will be working with him until she retires. When another staff member got a call from her child's school, he told her immediately to "Go" and he had no disapproval or irritation at all in his tone. I'm so impressed with Dr. Babb and his entire practice.
