The office handles complex work like bone grafts and full extractions with care, managing anxiety well and keeping patients informed every step of the way.

Their service range spans periodontal therapy, implant placement, and guided bone grafting across Columbia, Lexington, Cayce, and surrounding areas.

Every recent visit lands as a relief. Staff and Dr. Stackhouse explain each step, keep pain down, and make nervous patients feel safe enough to return. Reviewers call it the best dental experience they've had, switching practices specifically to stay. Named staff (Shannon, Kerri Rish) earn consistent praise for warmth alongside professional skill. The office handles urgent implant repairs the same day, crown work, and denture consultations without rush.

Walk-in and same-day appointment experience works well; staff members Jess, Victoria, and Makya earn specific praise. Dr. Sheftall is named consistently as caring and informative. The main friction points are wait times (30 minutes to two hours past appointment time) and the accessibility setup (ramp too steep, no wheelchair-accessible exam rooms), though the cozy waiting room gets regular mention. Patients travel from as far as 90 minutes away and report feeling listened to and taken seriously. Front desk coordination can feel disorganized when emergencies cause rescheduling. The tone is casual and personal: staff give customer appreciation swag bags, and return patients say they now look forward to visits.

Dr. Burns and his team routinely accommodate emergency patients same-day, even when understaffed. Most reviewers praise the calm, respectful atmosphere and the quality of work-especially crowns and cosmetic corrections. One unhelpful staff interaction a year ago stands apart from the consistent pattern of warmth and professionalism.
