Frequently Asked Questions
Are you taking new patients?
Yes, and we would love to see you. Please call our office at 864-271-9582 or submit our online appointment request form.
What do I need to do to have my records transferred from my former dentist’s office?
You can request your records from your previous dentist. If you prefer, we are also happy to request them on your behalf, simply complete and submit this form. In some instances, the dentist will require release forms signed by the patient
What can I expect when I come in for my first appointment?
A typical first visit consists of a hygiene appointment with diagnostic x-rays and a dental examination from Dr. Siachos. That way we can get to know you, your treatment needs and your dental expectations.
Will you see new patients for emergencies without a hygiene appointment?
We don’t ever want someone to be in pain, so if you find yourself with a dental emergency, we will treat the issue at hand during normal office hours and then schedule another appointment for routine exam and hygiene visit. New patients will not be treated for an emergency outside of normal office hours.
Do you accept pediatric patients?
Yes, we will treat anyone over the age of three.
Can I schedule multiple members of my family for one appointment time?
Yes, we can block off enough time to see multiple family members at one or we can do back-to-back appointments, whichever you prefer.
What type of system do you use for teeth whitening?
We use Opalescence Boost In-office Teeth Whitening System, and we make custom bleaching trays using Perfecta Bravo 9% Hydrogen Peroxide gel.
Do you offer Invisalign?
We do not currently offer Invisalign, but we are happy to recommend a provider to you.
Will you work with my child’s orthodontist to ensure a smooth transition for treatment in preparation for and during the time they have braces?

Do you take insurance? Do you offer payment plans?
Yes, we accept Ameritas Plus, Cigna, Delta Dental, MetLife, United Concordia and United Health Care. We also accept payment through CareCredit.
What are your Covid policies?
Our Covid policies are ever-changing due to the fluid recommendations from DHEC, whose regulations we follow. We also use Simply Sterile bi-monthly to sterilize the entire office from floor to ceiling.
Can I make a payment online?
