This is absolutely the best dentist office in Pickens County! My whole family goes here and they do such a wonderful job. They welcome you by name when you come in and treat you like family. My son is special needs and they are just so patient with him and understanding. It’s so great not having to go to separate dentists for our needs. They even were able to put braces on my son so we didn’t have to go to a separate office!

By far the friendliest staff! They always greet you with a smile and treat you with respect. I wouldn’t recommend anyone else. Very clean facility and well maintained. The atmosphere is laid back and they all seem to love their job. You never hear any negativity when you go in. Blessed to be a patient here!

I recommend this Dental office to anyone and everyone! If you want a friendly hello, your questions answered, and a place that makes you feel comfortable Great Oaks Dental is the place for you. The staff is attentive, knowledgeable, friendly and makes you feel so welcomed. I have been a patient for years and will continue to be a patient. On top of the wonderful experiences I’ve had this busy mom really enjoys getting my reminder text for my appointments!
