About Elite Smiles Dental

North of downtown Columbia on Farrow Road, a few minutes from the I-77 interchange, Elite Smiles Dental runs as a general and family practice with a wider bench than most: three dentists, a Monday-through-Saturday schedule, and a stated willingness to take emergency patients from across South Carolina. Dr. Reznick trained at the Virginia Commonwealth University School of Dentistry and spent a decade as an Army general dentist. Dr. Young qualified at the Medical University of South Carolina and completed an advanced general dentistry residency at the University of Florida. Dr. Gambrell rounds out the group.

Emergency care is where the six-day schedule earns its keep. Dental pain sorts into a handful of patterns, and each has a different fix: a cracked cusp that hurts on release of biting pressure, an abscess that throbs and swells and needs drainage plus root canal treatment or extraction, a lost crown leaving a sensitive prepared stub, or a knocked-out tooth, where the tooth should be kept moist and the window for successful reimplantation is measured in an hour or two. Being seen the same day often decides whether a tooth is saved or lost, and Saturday coverage lands precisely when other offices are shut.

Day to day, the practice covers cleanings and exams, oral cancer screenings, sealants and fluoride, composite fillings, same-day crowns milled in the office, bridges, dentures and partials, root canal treatment, extractions, bone grafting and implants. Cosmetic work runs to Zoom whitening, veneers and full smile makeovers. Clear aligners, children's dentistry, night guards, TMD care and sleep apnea appliances are all in scope, and nitrous oxide or IV sedation is available for nervous patients. Having children and adults treated in one building is the practical argument for a family practice: one trip, one set of records, one team that already knows the household's history.

One honest note on the cosmetic side. Whitening lifts the shade of natural enamel only. Restorative material is immune to it — a ceramic crown, a laboratory veneer, a white filling in a front tooth all stay exactly as dark or as light as the day they were fitted — so where old work already shows, the plan usually has to include replacing it after whitening rather than whitening around it. A 3D scanner on site supports implant and airway planning.

Elite Smiles Dental is a three-dentist family practice on Farrow Road in north Columbia, open Monday through Saturday and accepting emergency patients. Alongside cleanings, exams and sealants, the office handles same-day milled crowns, bridges, dentures, root canal treatment, extractions, bone grafting, implants, clear aligners, children's dentistry, TMD care and sleep apnea appliances. Cosmetic work includes Zoom whitening and veneers, and nitrous oxide or IV sedation is available.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I be seen the same day for a dental emergency?
The practice states that it is accepting emergency patients and keeps Monday-through-Saturday hours from eight until five, which covers a day most offices are closed. Phone ahead before driving over so the situation can be triaged. If a tooth has been knocked out entirely, keep it moist in milk or saliva, handle it by the crown rather than the root, and treat it as urgent.
How do same-day crowns work?
The tooth is prepared, scanned digitally instead of impressed in putty, and the restoration is designed on screen and milled from a ceramic block in the office. The crown is then fitted and bonded at the same visit, which removes the temporary crown stage and the second appointment entirely. Not every case suits the technique, and some situations still call for a laboratory-made restoration.
Will whitening lighten my crowns and fillings?
No. Whitening gels act on natural tooth structure and cannot change the color of ceramic or composite. Crowns, veneers and tooth-colored fillings stay exactly the shade they were made in, so after whitening they can look darker by contrast. The usual sequence is to whiten first, let the shade settle for a couple of weeks, then replace visible restorations to match the new color.

I am Loving this Dentist Office! I needed to see a dentist for my tooth pain & my husband called Elite Smiles to see if they could see me for my bad painful tooth. My molar had a cavity & it started hurting really bad. He called them & they got me scheduled the next day. I had my mind set to have it pulled out. I have to say this place is AMAZING! I got in at 2 pm on Saturday & they took EXCELLENT CARE of me & Removed my Tooth. The staff took the time to talk with me & explain everything about the procedure & cost.

I was visiting a different dentist for a while. I came back to Elite Smiles and Dr Gambrell to repair a tooth the other dentist damaged. Dr. Gabrielle was amazing in making the repair! I'm so happy I returned to Elite Smiles and Dr. GAMBRELL!! Will recommend them to others! Front office staff was awesome!

Dr. Young, Ashley, and Ashley (yes—two Ashleys!) were absolutely exceptional! From the moment we walked in, the entire team was welcoming, professional, and attentive. This was our first visit, and my 8-year-old son actually left smiling after having dental work done..which says everything. The staff is not only highly knowledgeable and thorough, but they also made sure we understood everything along the way. They truly go above and beyond to make patients feel comfortable and cared for. We’re so grateful to have found a dental team we trust—definitely our new family dentist!

I had an excellent experience at Elite Smiles Dental! Dr. Gambrell is truly the best—professional, knowledgeable, and he takes the time to make sure you feel comfortable and informed every step of the way. Andrea, my dental hygienist, was just as amazing. She was incredibly friendly, gentle, and made me feel completely at ease during my visit. The entire team creates a welcoming and positive environment. I highly recommend Elite Smiles Dental to anyone looking for top-notch care!
