Amazing job at Columbia Smiles! Dr. Nick and Pam took such good care of my son and have his teeth looking like brand new! We came in with extreme calcium build up and are walking out with pearly whites!

Switched to Dr. Nick and his staff over six years ago and can say WITHOUT A DOUBT, they are by far the best dental practitioners I have ever experienced. His expert care has made all the difference. From a couple much-needed crowns, to completely straightening my teeth in less than a year, I can’t recommend Columbia Smiles enough!

Biggest mistake ever. Speed braces were a scam. We were warned not to use him and not to get speed braces. Daughter is now back in braces under Dr. Whitehead. Her teeth are worse than they were when we started her 1st treatment 3 year's ago. Money down the drain. Buyer beware. If it sounds too good to be true. He never did successfully get her permanent retainer to stay on. We gave up after 3 or 4. Lost count.

Very friendly, professional and helpful. There is a positive feel to the atmosphere. Dr. Nick is knowledgeable and enthusiastic, which made me feel that there is help for my smile. All of the office staff and the hygienist Pam were super sweet and took time to answer all my questions! Would definitely recommend them for anyone looking for a great practice!

I have been a patient of Dr Nick and Columbia Smiles for 20+ years. I have never had a bad or unpleasant experience. Dr Nick is always smiling, friendly, and very professional. His staff is incredible. He chooses very carefully and only the best. Hygienists are amazing as well. Cannot express how much of a pleasure it actually is going to the dentist now, something that was not very pleasant (ie scary) when I was a kid, elsewhere. Recommend!!!

Got an infection

Just got done gluing them back in myself and they will likely stay in longer this time
