My husband SWEARS by this dental office. He does his normal maintenance here as well as major dental work (implants and a crown). He loves coming here so much. When one of my crowns broke, he called this office the next morning as soon as they opened and Jennifer helped us. She was able to squeeze me in THAT day! I was able to get a temp crown. I went back a week later for my permanent crown. First, Jennifer is like the sweetest person on the planet. She was so easy to work with. Dr Johnson was great to work with as well. I’m not the easiest dental patient but he was very good with me and had a lot of patience. My hygienist was really sweet as well (I don’t know her name). I normally see a dentist in Summerville, but I am so happy I came her for my crown. It was a very pleasant experience. The office is clean, great work on my crown, and super friendly and accommodating staff.

My Dentist for over 30 years in Columbia, SC recently retired, Dr.Joel Johnson. After some soul searching and learning of his son practicing in Charleston, I decided to make the drive to meet Dr. Jeffrey Johnson! Not surprising to see the “spitting” image of Dr. Joel in Jeffrey….from his looks, to his mannerisms and, ultimately, his truly professional approach to dental care! But, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the front desk greeting (outstanding) by Jennifer, the “painless” cleaning by Shae (which I sincerely appreciated) and Victoria’s workup of a treatment plan going forward. The “icing on the cake”….the location adjacent to Shem Creek in Mt. Pleasant is mesmerizing since I am addicted to water and, great places to eat after getting out of the “chair”! While the practice is not directly on Shem Creek, it is a stone’s throw away. I plan to travel by boat on upcoming visits, weather permitting!

Let’s talk about transforming moments! Ever wondered how much impact a smile can have on confidence and overall happiness? I recently had an awe-inspiring experience with veneers. Dr. Gregory, you are a true artist! My smile makeover journey was nothing short of magical. The team at Smile Carolina Dental group make you feel at ease from start to finish! Highly recommend them for your smile makeover journey! I love my new smile!

Always a positive experience. Such a caring staff and Dr. Johnson is amazing. I’ve never experienced a second of pain. So happy with how pretty my smile is now. I actually don’t mind going to the dentist anymore!!

I cannot explain how unbelievably grateful I am for being introduced to this dental practice. Dr Virginia is amazing! The attention to detail produces the best crowns I’ve ever seen. She is meticulous and a true master at what she does. As someone who has a lot of dental problems stemming from grinding my teeth, my bite, everything, trust me when I tell you they are the best in the Lowcountry. State of the art technology, amazing staff, amazing dentists. If I could I’d give them 10 stars. And the entire process for a new smile is painless and fast! Always a plus. I highly recommend scheduling a consult today if you want the best in the business. And did I mention that for cosmetic dentistry that my insurance didn’t cover, my previous dentist said it’s usually thousands more than what smoke Carolina charged.

Today I went to Smile Carolina for the first time. I definitely made the right choice when I went into the office. The staff was very informative, relaxed and friendly. I learned about different treatments that I could have that I didn’t even know were available. The dentist was very knowledgeable and relaxed and telling me my different choices. I was very impressed with my visit today and highly recommend smile Carolina to anyone seeking a first class operation

The only place l would trust with my teeth. The staff and Dr. Johnson are all very professional. I have gone to this practice since it opened and have always felt confident in the quality of their work.

I’ve been going to this Dental practice for 35 years! I had my teeth cleaned today by Angel, who did a great job…as usual.

Chrisee M

I love how friendly all the staff is there. I usually get so nervous going to the dentist but everyone makes me feel comfortable and explains everything to me.

Undoubtedly the best dental-related experience I have ever had. From the first day I visited this office I’ve felt as though I’ve been cared for and treated like family. Nevertheless, my teeth have been in perfect condition since visiting here for the past 30+ years. I have always received the best care at Smile Carolina Dental Group. Everyone is always professional and personable. They use the latest equipment, technology, and techniques. They provide recommendations without any pressure. That’s really important to me. I’m always happy to see and catch up with the team when I come in. I definitely recommend Smile Carolina Group for all your dental needs.
