I have now switched to Dr. Pincelli (for work scheduling reasons) and my first impression of her was wonderful, she is constantly checking on the patient and is very gentle while working. Heather her assistant was very friendly as well. Lastly front desk is always quick and efficient as well. If you’re looking for somewhere to go, you’ve found the best place!

This place was recommended to me by a friend and I couldn't be more pleased. The entire staff is terrific. I hope they realize what a special group they are and how rare it is to have a team work together like they do. They treat their patients with care and respect. They take time to explain everything. I highly recommend anyone to visit them.

Our Affiliations
Proudly Serving Patients for over 50 Years

Popular Treatments
Patients from across Richland County love that they can find a full range of common treatments like these, all at one trusted practice.
Crowns
A dental crown is a cap that we can place over a compromised tooth to restore its strength and function. Crowns are often used after root canal treatment. We can also attach a crown to a dental implant in order to replace a missing tooth. Our office in Columbia, SC, use crowns made of durable materials that seamlessly blend in with your smile.
Implant-Supported Bridges
If you have gaps in your smile due to one or two missing teeth, implant-supported bridges may be right for you. Compared to traditional dental bridges, implant-supported bridges are exceptionally durable and stable, making them a popular option for replacing teeth.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are considered the gold standard when it comes to replacing missing teeth. Because implants fuse directly to the jaw, they provide a rock-solid foundation for a beautiful restoration such as a crown, denture, or bridge. With proper maintenance, implants can last over 40 years, making them an unbeatable option for smile restoration.
Dentures
We're proud to provide world-class dentures and can perform any relining, repairs, or rebasing your denture requires. We offer both traditional and implant-supported dentures as a long-term solution for missing teeth. Dentures not only restore your ability to eat, chew, and speak clearly, but they also restore your smile and confidence.
Dental Fillings
We use tooth-colored fillings to address cavities in your teeth. Untreated cavities negatively affect your health and may require costlier treatment, like root canal therapy, in the future, so it is crucial to address decay as early as possible. Our dentists are conservative in their approach and preserve as much of your natural tooth as possible.
IV Sedation
We understand that many patients have a fear of the dentist. IV sedation is an excellent option for those who want to be deeply relaxed and have no recollection of their treatment. Sedation allows our Columbia, SC, dentists to provide the dental care you need while you remain completely calm or asleep. With sedation, many patients report feeling like their treatment is over in just a few seconds.
Enhance Your Smile With Cosmetic Dentistry
Are you ready for a smile that boosts your confidence and shows off your personality? We offer a range of cosmetic services, including teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, and dental bonding.
If you want a major upgrade to your appearance, we offer smile makeovers, completely customizable treatment plans that incorporate multiple treatments to achieve your aesthetic goals. Our dentists can create a treatment plan for you during your initial consultation at our office.

Happily Recommended By Patients
"I have been a patient at this office for over 2 years now and they are awesome! Dr. Crockett and I get along as if though we are the best of friends. She is a lot of fun and her dad has pulled a few teeth of mine and I never had a problem. He always told me that I was a good patient and made me feel as comfortable as possible. To be honest, the entire staff is pleasant from the front desk to the dentist. I was referred by a co-worker and this is my #1 referral when I am asked." Sharry Harrison
