At Carolina Oaks Dental Care of Greenville, your smile is our top priority. Whether you are coming in for a routine six-month visit orin the middle of a dental emergency, our goal at this dental practice is to keep as comfortable as possible as we care for your teeth and gums.

We are committed to a preventive approach to dentistry, and we make patient education and preventive treatments the cornerstone of our dental practice. Your family can rest easy with our caring, professional staff, as we will always do our best to get to know each patients individual concerns, circumstances, and oral health needs.

We also provide cosmetic treatments to give you the flawless smile you deserve. Even the healthiest of teeth do not always look the way we want them to, as lifes wear and tear leaves its traces on our smiles. Cosmetic treatments, such as whitening, bonding, and porcelain veneers can help you achieve the smile youve always wanted.

As a patient-first focused dental practice, we know that every family and every patient has unique circumstances and needs. When you come to our office, we always start with a conversation, to make sure we learn as much about you and your dental history as possible. When we suggest treatment, we will always explain our reasoning and concerns, so you understand your oral health situation. We never coerce our patients or force treatment, as we aim for every relationship to be one of trust and confidence.

If a member of your family has special considerations, such as dental anxiety or phobia, or has had negative experiences in the past, please let us knowas we have a special way of caring for patients with special needs.

Overall, we want you to feel comfortable before, during, and after your dental visits. Please let us know if there are ways we can make you more comfortable, as we view all our patients as partners, with the common goal of your oral health and overall well-being.
