Smiling Oak Dentistry Mount Pleasant, SC Better late than never! I should have written this review a long time ago because Dr. Jeff Gardner and the entire team at Smiling Oak Dentistry have been absolutely outstanding over the years. One of the things I appreciate most is how accommodating they are. If you have a problem, they'll often get you in the same day or the very next day. That kind of customer service is hard to find these days, and it's one of the many reasons I keep coming back. Over the years, Dr. Gardner has taken care of everything from routine cleanings to crowns, implants, and cosmetic dental work. Every experience has been professional, friendly, and pain-free. Recently, I noticed I was losing some enamel on one of my front teeth and was worried it would continue to get worse. Dr. Gardner repaired it, and I was honestly blown away. I still can't believe how perfect it looks! The colour match is absolutely flawless--you genuinely cannot tell where the repair was made. It looks completely natural, and the attention to detail is incredible. That's the kind of craftsmanship that separates a good dentist from a truly exceptional one. The entire team is welcoming, caring, and makes every visit a positive experience. They genuinely take pride in their work, and it shows in every smile that walks out the door. If you're looking for a dentist in the Mount Pleasant area for routine cleanings, cosmetic dentistry, crowns, implants, or just an office that truly cares about its patients, I couldn't recommend Smiling Oak Dentistry more highly. Five stars aren't enough. Three thumbs up from me! read more

Such a friendly, kind office. I come out with my teeth feeling shiny & new and when there are problems with my teeth they find solutions and are so gentle and attuned to my comfort. read more

I was extremely happy with my first visit to Dr Gardners dental office. My hygienist, Liz, was very friendly and a master of her profession. I have never in 66 years had such a thorough cleaning. My teeth look 10 years younger! read more

Always a pleasure- friendly staff and super professional dentists and hygienists. They are always prompt with your appointment time as well!

I am living here part time and did not have a dentist established. I had been having severe tooth/jaw pain for a couple days and called Smiling Oak praying for a quick appointment. They got me in with in an hour, referred me to an amazing endodontist for an emergency root canal and I was pain free in less than four hours! I am so impressed with not only their ability to get me in so quickly but with how sweet and attentive the entire staff was. I am so happy to now have a great dentist established here in CHS. Thank you Smiling Oak staff, I am truly grateful for your kindness. read more

From the moment you walk through the doors, you feel welcomed!! The front desk, dental hygienists, to the dentists! They are all so personal and friendly. I called the day before my wedding with an emergency and they got me in!!! Very thankful for finding this dentistry read more

I was floored. Got me in immediately for some pain issues. Had to get a 3d scan. Was diagnosed and consulted. Went to "check out" fully expecting a big bill, especially for the scan. Welp, the super friendly desk agent says "the scanner is no charge, we did one a year and a half ago" "oh wow" and pull out the card for the visit, "nah, we will put tit through your insurance " never been to a dentist that did that, always took the money and handed me a bill, "here you do it". Best practice I've ever been to. read more

Great dental experience. Friendly courtesies staff. Very knowledgeable of their services. Good location in the heart of Mount Pleasant.

Dr Gardner's staff is always and courteous. They practice safety during this pandemic that makes you feel less anxiety. I appreciate being able to afford services when I have insurance and when I am out of pocket. Dr Gardner considers your overall health when examining you. He has seen me for emergencies same. His experience, empathy and compassion goes above and beyond. I highly recommend Smiling Oak. read more

I made an appointment for my son to see Dr. Gardner for a second opinion. My son's dentist wanted to do extensive dental work and I thought it best to ask for another opinion before shelling out a couple thousand dollars. Dr. Gardner took a look at the x-rays and his teeth and said he wouldn't recommend doing any of it, but advised my son to brush better, floss daily and use a rinse before bed. I couldn't be more happy with his conservative treatment, and for encouraging my son to take better care of his teeth. We were driving clear across town for dental work because it was one of the few places to accept our limited insurance that covered cleanings only, but I will now be transferring my entire family over to the much more convenient Smiling Oak Dentistry knowing that Dr. Gardner will take great care of us, treat conservatively and make us laugh while doing so. I highly recommend Smiling Oak Dentistry. Ten Stars!! read more

Dr. Gardner, Dr Herbert and their entire staff are absolutely the best. My whole family would go there weekly for cleanings if possible. Above and beyond cleanings, we always use Smiling Oak Dentistry for many other dental accidents, fixes, improvements, etc.... read more

Absolutely amazing dentistry office with terrific staff! I called as a new patient and they squeezed me in a week later due to a cancellation. The staff is so friendly and nice. They went above and beyond to answer my insurance questions and help me find a referral to a specialist. Definitely recommend!!! read more

Excellent dentist. Dental hygenist is friendly, polite, and does excellent work. Everyone at the office is very friendly. They do great work. Never have to wait. I highly recommend. read more

By far the best dentistry in Charleston SC .. Always a happy and genuine welcoming with a smile Dr Jeff Gardner and his staff certainly know how to look after their customers Hannah one of the hygienist is excellent !! read more

I have been going to Dr. Gardner for over 10 years. He died AMAZING cosmetic and routine dental work. He does things I could not find at other dentist offices such as my NTI bite guard and Zirconia crowns. These are important to me since I grind my teeth at night to the point if destroying them. He has taken excellent care of my dental needs. Today I broke off my tooth with a crown. They hit me into the office first thing this morning, I saw Dr. Hartnet who is Dr. Gardners associate. She did an EXCELLENT job providing me with a temporary solution until I can get to the oral surgeon for an extraction and an implant. Then they Dr . Hartnet will then do my new crown. I would HIGHLY recommend this dental practice! read more

I was overly impressed with the new x-ray machine. It was 3D and for problems it can find most everything. Dr. Gardner does a very good job keeping up with the technology and the literature. He attends professional courses and events. He is certainly one of the best in his field and deserves to be acknowledged as such. His staff knows what they are doing. I have been going to Dr. Gardner over 20 years and there is rarely turnover in staff. Bonus points for clean office and exam rooms and Covid-19 protection procedures in place. Lisa M read more

Since moving back to Charleston after many years away, I'm so glad to find a great place like Smiling Oak. Dr. Gardner is a true professional who believes in conservative treatment and does not push more complicated /expensive procedures if a filling is all you truly need. He's just a really good person. Oh, and I didn't even feel the shot of Novocain today! I've been to his new associate and she is great too! All staff are nice, smart and experienced. read more

Dr. Gardner and his entire team are truly amazing. I recently underwent a gum graft and was fitted for a mouthguard & retainer to prevent further recession in my gums. It was a heavy investment for me but I knew it was necessary. Not only did Dr. Gardner refer me to a fantastic periodontist who did a beautiful job but not even 2 weeks after I was fitted for my mouthguard did my dog steal it and let's just say it was the most expensive dog toy I ever purchased. I was absolutely sick about it but Dr. Gardner's team got me back in the chair, made another mold and worked with my financially. I am so beyond appreciative there are no words. Such a fabulous group of people to work with. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! read more

It has been awhile since I've seen a dentist and I was filled with anxiety, but everyone from the initial phone call, setting up the appointment, to the greeting I received when I walked in, eased every anxious thought I had and the cherry on top was Anna! Dr Gardner has a wonderful staff and I am so happy that I found them! read more

I actually came to Smiling Oak because I wanted to do the Zoom whitening treatment- my other dentist couldn't fit me in for a cleaning so I just had it done here instead. The dental hygienist Anna does such a good job and is very sweet- I was self conscious about the plaque build up around my teeth but she made me feel comfortable and gave me helpful tips to reduce plaque buildup. She is knowledgeable about insurance-related issues as well. I've been going here for the past two years and it's been great! If you can't get an appointment, just call the day before because likely they have a last-minute cancellation. read more

We are from out of town and we were referred to Smiling Oak... amazing amazing team from the time you check in until the time you check out..we love Dr Bethany and the girls! read more

Once again, my experience with Dr. Gardner and Liz, who did my cleaning couldn't have been better. Liz is awesome at providing a detailed cleaning and is knowledgeable about dental issues. I had a existing problem when I arrived today and asked Dr. Gardner his opinion since it had to do with my sinus area. They took an xray and he suggested I see an ENT, whom he recommended. Dr. Gardner was thorough, caring and helped direct me to the appropriate source for my problem. I can't be happier with this dental practice. The staff upfront is terrific too! Thanks again, Janice G read more

I am going to be honest here, it's been a while since I have gone to the dentist. No more mommy or daddy making my appointments and no more insurance. It's grown up time. I found this office on google search and it had such great reviews, plus it helps they are one of the only places that accepts my new and slowly growing medical card. The Staff here made me feel right at home, no awkwardness or guilty feelings for not taking care of my teeth properly (flossing is a tough job). Going to see Jeff and his team makes me want to have beautiful teeth and enjoy going to the dentist. I assure you i will be in this office all the time now! I love it. read more

Love these guys......they just know what they're doing and I always feel like I'm with the best dentistry office around. Liz is an asset to the organization. read more
