Elmtree Family Dental

5.0(756)·9.2 km from Columbia Downtown
71Smyleee

1320, Elmtree Road, Columbia, South Carolina

Closed · Opens Monday at 8 AM

Documented for cosmetic dentistry in Columbia, with invisalign on the service list and 16 procedures on file.

Read full description

Elmtree Family Dental sits at 1320 Elmtree Road in Columbia, running as a general practice built around ongoing care rather than one-off visits. The team handles the everyday work of keeping a mouth healthy -- cleanings, fillings, and checkups -- alongside more involved restorative and cosmetic procedures for patients who need something beyond a routine appointment. Family care here means treating parents and kids on the same visit schedule, with room on the calendar for a dental emergency that doesn't wait for a convenient week to show up.

Day-to-day work covers dental cleanings and fillings for cavities caught early, plus tooth decay treatment when a cavity has gone further and needs more than a filling to fix. Crowns rebuild a cracked or worn-down tooth, and bridges fill the gap left by a missing tooth using the teeth on either side as anchors. Root canal treatment clears infected tissue from inside a tooth so it can be saved instead of pulled, and gum disease treatment addresses gum and bone problems that build up quietly before they're noticed. Extractions handle the cases where a tooth is too far gone to save. Whitening and cosmetic work sit on their own timeline, once the clinical repairs are settled, for patients focused on how a smile looks rather than what's wrong underneath.

If you're catching a cavity before it turns into something that needs a root canal, or dealing with a broken crown you can't wait on, this is the kind of practice built for both ends of that spectrum.

Cost depends on what's being treated -- a cleaning and a bridge aren't priced anywhere close to each other, and a simple filling costs less than a root canal followed by a crown. It's worth asking about upfront, since affordable dental care here works better as a starting point for that conversation than a slogan on its own. Elmtree Family Dental fits households that want one office on file for the routine cleaning, the chipped tooth from biting down wrong, and the ache that's gone unattended long enough to finally need looking at.

Family Dental Health of Murray Landing

4.9(878)·17 km from Columbia Downtown
70Smyleee

1612, Lake Murray Boulevard, Columbia, South Carolina

Closed · Opens Monday at 8 AM

Cosmetic Dentistry focus in Columbia, with invisalign listed among 15 documented services.

Read full description

Family Dental Health of Murray Landing is a general dentistry practice on Lake Murray Boulevard that treats patients across every stage of life, from a child's first checkup to the crown or bridge work adults often need decades later. It falls under family dental care, meaning the same office can follow a case as it changes -- a cavity filled today, a cracked molar addressed next year -- instead of sending you to a specialist for anything beyond a cleaning. That kind of continuity matters most when a smaller problem, left alone, turns into a bigger one.

Day-to-day care here includes dental cleanings and fillings for routine maintenance and small cavities, plus root canal treatment for decay that has reached the nerve inside a tooth -- catching it at that stage often keeps the tooth in place rather than heading toward an extraction. Dental crowns and bridges rebuild teeth that are cracked, heavily filled, or missing, and gum disease treatment addresses the bacteria buildup behind bleeding or receding gums before it reaches the bone underneath. Teeth whitening and other cosmetic dentistry options are available for teeth that have simply darkened with age. For a broken tooth or sudden pain, same-day emergency dentistry covers what can't wait for a routine slot.

If you're the kind of patient who'd rather catch a cavity before it turns into a root canal, or who needs a cracked tooth crowned without a referral to another office, this is built for that kind of continuity.

What any of this costs depends on the specifics of the case -- a cleaning and a root canal with a crown are two very different bills, and it's worth asking the office directly what a given procedure runs, especially since the practice lists itself under affordable dental care. At 1612 Lake Murray Boulevard in Columbia, this office fits patients who'd rather keep routine cleanings, fillings, and the occasional extraction under one roof alongside bigger repairs like bridges or gum disease treatment, instead of splitting care across a general dentist and a string of specialists every time something more involved comes up.

Family Dental Care of Spring Valley

Cosmetic Dentistry is the documented focus in Columbia; Invisalign sits within 16 services on profile.

Read full description

Family Dental Care of Spring Valley treats patients of every age under one roof, from a child's first cleaning to a parent's crown or a grandparent's bridge. Rather than splitting kids and adults across separate providers, the same team handles the full run of family dental care in one place, which matters if you'd rather keep a single record than juggle referrals. Emergency appointments are part of the mix too, for the toothache or broken tooth that shows up without warning and can't wait for a scheduled slot.

Routine visits cover cleanings and fillings, the two appointments that keep small decay from turning into a bigger repair. When a tooth has decayed past what a filling can fix, the practice moves to crowns, caps that cover a damaged tooth and restore its shape, or bridges, which anchor a false tooth to the healthy teeth on either side of a gap. Root canal treatment addresses infection inside a tooth's pulp before it spreads, while gum disease treatment targets the tissue and bone that hold teeth in place. Teeth whitening and other cosmetic work sit alongside the everyday maintenance that keeps a smile functional, and extractions remain the option when a tooth can't be saved.

If you've been putting off a chipped tooth or a nagging ache because you didn't want to explain it to a new dentist every time, having fillings, crowns, and emergency care under one roof means fewer handoffs and fewer retellings.

Cost depends on what a visit actually involves — a cleaning and a root canal aren't priced the same way, so the honest answer is a quote once the tooth in question has been looked at. The practice is tagged for affordable dental care, worth confirming against your own coverage before booking anything beyond a first exam. On Two Notch Road in Columbia, the office suits patients who'd rather keep one place for the six-month cleaning and the same place if that visit turns up something that needs a crown or an extraction instead.

How to Choose a Dentist in Columbia

Use the ranking as a starting point, then narrow the shortlist based on the kind of care you actually need.

If you want routine or family care

Prioritize review consistency, insurance friendliness, practical hours, and a broad general-dentistry service mix over marketing language alone.

If urgency matters

Confirm same-day capacity, after-hours guidance, and whether the clinic handles urgent restorative work in-house or refers out.

If affordability matters most

Compare financing signals, insurance notes, and the local cost guide. A higher-ranked clinic is not automatically the best value for your specific treatment.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Do you accept my insurance or offer payment plans?
  • Are you taking new patients right now?
  • Do you handle my treatment in-house?
  • What is the total expected cost before treatment starts?
EditorialUpdated August 7, 2026Independently reviewed

Columbia has no shortage of dental providers — a quick search pulls up hundreds. The challenge isn't finding one, it's figuring out which ones actually deliver.

This is the short list. Ten providers in Columbia, South Carolina that consistently showed up in the data — not because they paid to be here, but because their patients keep coming back and referring others. If you're weighing options for invisalign in Columbia, start here.
