Born and raised in Georgetown, SC, Dr. Waninger attended the University of South Carolina Honors College where he met his wife, Stephanie. Stephanie is a former Division 1 athlete, a swimmer, and they met while working as lifeguards for the Aquatics Center. (They remain loyal Gamecocks fans. Forever to Thee!) He graduated with honors with a BS in Biomedical Engineering.
After graduating college, Dr. Waninger spent four years in Charleston at the Medical University of South Carolina College of Dental Medicine. He graduated first in his class with a Doctor of Dental Medicine degree. After graduation, Dr. Waninger transitioned to active duty as a Lieutenant in the US Navy. He completed an Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD) Residency while stationed in Great Lakes, IL. He was then stationed here in Beaufort and spent two years at Parris Island and another two years as the dental clinic director at the Air Station.
Dr. Waninger considers his office a family and cosmetic practice that offers a wide array of comprehensive services. Serving families and patients of all ages, he offers a wide variety of procedures including extractions, root canals, crowns, veneers, fillings, dentures, implant restorations, and whitening, among others. Looking ahead, Dr. Waninger says he plans to expand the practice to offer even more treatment options for his patients.
Dentistry at Habersham is a small mom and pop type office, he says, that prides itself on high-quality customer service and patient experience. Our office has amazing staff members, Roseann, BriNasia, Katy, Marcy, & Jessica, who keep the practice running smoothly, he says, adding that his wife, Stephanie, also supports the office with a lot of behind-the-scenes work. Dr. Waninger and Stephanie have a 3-year-old daughter named Leah and their newest addition, Mark William Waninger III who was born in September 2021 . Stephanie is a stay-at-home mom, but really keeps Dentistry at Habersham going with her accounting background.
Dr. Ferreira received her bachelors degree in dental hygiene prior to attending dental school at the MarquetteUniversity School of Dentistry (Milwaukee, WI). Upon graduating from MUSD in 2002, she was commissioned as a Dental Corps officer in the U.S. Navy, where she served as a general dentist for 6 years. Dr. Ferreira continued her education with a periodontics residency at the Naval Postgraduate Dental School (Bethesda, MD), where she graduated in 2011. She became a diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology in 2012 and is a current member of the American Academy of Periodontology.
Dr. Ferreira left active-duty following the birth of her children, but she continued to serve in the US Navy reserves until her retirement in 2020. Dr. Ferreira and her husband, Mike, moved to Beaufort in 2016 with their two children, Elizabeth and Christopher. Dr. Ferreira joined the Dentistry at Habersham team in 2018 and has been an integral part in helping our patients achieve better overall oral health.

I typically don't give out all stars, however I was treated for a broken tooth just before closing and this Dentist and his staff was Very caring courteous and professional. The level of concern that was shown is a rarity considering everything that is happening now.
