Dr. Z, Rosie, Brandy and Sophie are all wonderful! Love this dental practice. Sophie’s phone voice is exactly what we all should hear and is equally pleasant in person. She does all she can to accommodate our appointments in a quick and timely response. Rosie and Brandy get our teeth extra clean. Both of them are awesome! We are grateful to have such kind and caring dental hygienists. Dr. Z is exactly what this dental practice needed. He is compassionate, excellent and does a thorough job! Extremely glad he is planting roots in Columbia, South Carolina. We are so thankful to have Dr. Z to take care of all our dental needs. This is why I refer Southern Smiles Dental Studio to my friends and colleagues.

I had my first visit today. I am usually terrified of the dentist. I am so impressed with this office. Brandy was my hygienist. She did an excellent job. She explained everything she was doing in my mouth as she was cleaning my teeth. Dr. Zerener is very nice as well and made me feel totally at ease. I received a treatment plan that will make my treatment as affordable as possible. I am so glad that I have found my new dental home!!!

This year, I was determined to find a new dentist. Southern Smiles is even more than I hoped for! The staff, including front desk, financial and hygienist are caring and really know their jobs! Dr. Z takes time to explain what needs to be done and prioritizes over cosmetic work, saving time and money. The technology is amazing, too! No dental insurance? Ask about their in-house plan. It is worth it!

Review №16

The whole team at Southern Smiles are great. The office is extremely clean. I thought they were a new practice, thats how clean the space is. Everyone was so empathetic to my tooth pain. I was seen the next day after I called. Southern Smiles was the only dentist office that cared enough to help me even though I was a new patient. I really love the dentist and hygienist there. Both were very nice to me. The dentist knew exactly what my issue was and because of his advice, I am feeling much better. I also need to acknowledge the receptionist. She was the one who listened to me and got me in the very next day. I had called other offices, big chain dentist offices, and the receptionist at these offices did not care nor were they willing to help me. If you are looking for a dentist office that really cares and want to help you have a beautiful smile, call Southern Smiles. I promise you will not be disappointed.

I am always very anxious to go to the dentist but Dr Zerener and his team were amazing and my visit at this office was great. They make sure you are comfortable. I had a tooth break over the weekend and they were able to get me in the same day I called and do a same day crown the very next day. In 2 days, I was brand new again! I wish I would have found this office sooner! It will be my dentist from now on,Thanks yall!

When I went in for my appointment, I was initially very disappointed that I had a new dentist yet again. This will be the third one in less than 2 yrs! But I actually really liked the new young dentist! He was friendly, professional and seemed very knowledgeable. I will continue to use this dental office but I certainly hope this guy sticks and they don’t continue changing dentists!

I had an emergency and was able to be seen the same day I called. I am a new patient and I later went back for a new patient exam. The hygienist Courtney was amazing. I have never had an oral exam so detailed . She took very good care of me. The office staff is exceptionally friendly and the doctor comes across as very concerning and willing to give you the best out come. This office is highly recommended. Especially for the less brave persons like myself.

I highly recommend Southern Smiles Dental Studio! From the moment we entered we were warmly greeted by the receptionist and hygienist. Even the business manager greeted us and was so friendly. My daughter saw Dr. Zerener and I can’t say enough nice things about him. He has an excellent beside manner and made my daughter feel so at ease. She was so excited when we left and said, “that was so much fun”. The hygienist was extremely nice as well and did a great job with my daughter. We are going to use Southern Smiles for all of our family dentistry needs!

Had an appointment for 1:00pm. Arrived at 12:54 and texted to say I arrived and they took me back right away. No wait time. All following Covid precautions and their lobby is closed which I appreciate. Brandy did my cleaning and X-rays. She was very thorough and informative, as well as personable. Dr. Z was very nice and friendly. He was honest and did not try to up charge for anything like previous dentists I’ve been too. Their entire staff was very welcoming. 100% recommend Southern Smiles Dental Studio.

Review №73

Went in for a simple cavity filling, so we thought, but turns out it was much deeper and closer to the nerve than anyone anticipated. I was the last appointment and let me tell you, the doctor did NOT rush me out. He did what was needed and took his time. He was honest along the way and I feel confident referring anyone to this office after the experience I had tonight. They are patient, kind, honest and do the job the right way no matter how long it takes- regardless of how long they were closed!

Everyone is always so friendly there! I had some extensive work done last year with Dr. Gregory, and today was my second cleaning since it was completed.The only quasi complaint I have is that they are not in network with my particular dental insurance provider. Nevertheless, because I can trust their cleanliness, expertise and service unequivocally, Im willing to pay the small amount required.

I absolutely love this place. Everyone is there is friendly and has a great attitude. This is simply a Great Dental practice, I’m very terrified of the dentist and try to avoid it like the plague. However, I had a tooth break while eating dinner one night, and they were able to see me the very next morning. The office is warm and welcoming, the staff was wonderful. You can tell they love what they do. Dr. Gregory is very kind and knowledgeable, plus the technology they use to give you superior service is worth the money you spend. They are able to get Crowns done in one day, which saved me extra days off from work. Rates are reasonable and they accept many different kinds of insurances. I no longer fear going to the dentist. Thank you Gr. Gregory!

Chose Southern Smiles from web. Was using Aspen, but never saw same dentist, so changed to Southern Smiles. Initial contact was for two teeth that had broke. Needed two crowns, no root canal needed. Procedure took about 3 hours. I have always had aversion to dental work, but Technician very gentle and made sure I was at ease. Doctor was wonderful too. Will continue to use them for future dental care.
