Amy at the front desk, Victoria the dental assistant, and Dr. Johnson saved the day for me! I was having a dental issue and unable to get in anywhere else, I called their office as they have treated me for my TMJ in the past and they said come right on in and we will help. I work at a medical practice in the area that specializes in world class client care so I am very picky about service. I see the exact same level of service and care at this office. What a great group, thanks again for getting me in and being the best all around! Highly recommend.

I had a great cleaning at Smile Carolina. From the moment I walked into the office my experience was positive. The building is clean and spacious and I was greeted by Jennifer who was extremely welcoming! Angel did my cleaning and she was very gentle and did a great job. Dr. Johnson was prompt and kind! It was nice to see an office that is invested in the latest technology and constant learning.

Dr. Gregory is the most thorough professional of dentistry I have ever visited. My first visit she did a comprehensive evaluation of my dental health which I have never had previously. From this she formulated an in depth plan for correcting periodontal disease, replacing broken crowns and provided coaching in preventative maintenance. Dr. Johnson's fund of knowledge, insight and kind, caring attitude are an asset to the practice! I am extremely impressed and grateful for the positive attitude that they and her staff exude!

Dr Johnson and his assistant Victoria successfully repaired two teeth requiring extensive work. His procedure began with a clear explanation of the process and caring questions reminding me to raise my hand if I was the slightest bit uncomfortable! All the necessary work was completed painlessly ( I esp appreciated the pillow, noise cancelling headphones and neck wrap placed thoughtfully by Victoria) . If you need dental care, big or small, I highly recommend Dr Johnson and victoria at smile Carolina in mount pleasant, SC! They are the best in the business! Can I give them 6 stars?

Dr. Johnson and his dental care team of Amy, Victoria and Shae are outstanding. Dr. Johnson, who is a clinical instructor of dental implant surgery, performed my implant surgery with excellent results so far (it must be done in stages). He also incorporates the latest 3D imaging technology to ensure an excellent outcome. Dr. Johnson and his staff went above and beyond my expectations for the implant procedure, post operative follow up and routine cleanings.

I had a wonderful experience on my first visit to Dr. Gregory's office. Everyone-Dr. Gregory, Jan and Amy-were so friendly and welcoming! Dr. Gregory was thorough and informative and answered all my questions. They are so nice that it made me want to just hang out there, but then I reminded myself that they are a dentist's office, not a coffee shop! I highly recommend them if you need any sort of dental work done.

I have always been nervous about going to the dentist . In the 5 years of being a patient of Dr. Gregory that has changed. Dr. Gregory and her staff always put me at ease and make me feel comfortable and free of pain and terror. The office is beautiful. You almost never have to wait. The care is professional and friendly and fun. Dr. Gregory is a perfectionist in the best sense of the word and she stands behind her work. I have a very challenging set of dental problems and she has solved all of them. I couldn't recommend Dr Gregory more highly.

I had postponed my regular check up a few months ago due to the pandemic, but came in today to be seen because I was having an issue. I was scheduled promptly and felt very safe in the waiting room and exam room environment. Everyone was super careful and attentive. I always receive excellent care from Dr. Gregory and her team, and today was no exception!

I've always been a proponent of Virginia Gregory's practice. (Love my girls.) The addition of Dr. Jeffrey Johnson is a home run! He is intelligent, positive, patient oriented, kind, a good teacher and the perfect addition to this practice. Yay for everyone! (Oops! Dr. Kent is a kind, accommodating and gentle endodoniist.)
