We want you to be smiling when you leave our office, not just because your teeth look and feel great, but because you're happy with your overall experience in our care.

We look beyond the smile and work hard to understand where you are at and where you want to be with your dental care. We make sure every patient is well-informed and educated on their personal dental condition, and understand the steps needed to reach their goals. Our thoroughness and attention to detail are valuable assets when determining how we can address your needs to create a personalized treatment plan that works for you.
Services
At Meares Dentistry, our goal is to treat you with care, consideration, and expertise. We build our practice on a foundation of positive and long-lasting patient relationships. Led by Dr. Austin Meares, Meares Dentistry aims to be a place that you and your family know and trust. We are committed to learning new techniques and advancements in dental technology so that you can be confident in your smile.
Making a great impression with your smile is easier than ever before with modern dental techniques. It's much better to prevent problems before they happen than to fix them after they arise. We can help! Restorative dentistry consists of procedures that can restore your teeth to health, function, and beauty.
While our priority is always a healthy smile, if you have cosmetic concerns, we have several minimally invasive options that can help increase your confidence in your smile. We take a considerate and careful approach to all cosmetic operations and prioritize high-quality work with all of our cosmetic dentistry patients.
We believe in the importance of preventative dentistry. Instead of facing disease when it arises, it's always better to take necessary action ahead of time to keep your smile healthy. At Meares Dentistry, we offer many types of preventative dentistry techniques. Fluoride makes the outer shell of the teeth harder and more resistant to decay and erosion.
Our restorative dentistry procedures offer a wide variety of restorative options for your smile. At Meares Dentistry, we pride ourselves on offering procedures that can restore your teeth to health, function, and beauty. If you think you could benefit from our restorative dentistry procedures, or would like a consult, contact Meares Dentistry today.

I have horrible dental anxiety from so many bad experiences. A friend recommended Dr. Meares and I couldn’t be more glad that I came here. The staff is so friendly and they all genuinely care and don’t brush off my anxiety. Dr. Meares is wonderful and I’d recommend him to anyone!

The team and Dr Meares are without a doubt some of the most caring people in the world! They always greet us with a smile when we walk through the door. Dr Meares is very detailed with his treatment, and explains it in terms everyone can understand! Even my young daughters love going to see him. Great family atmosphere, great dentist, we are patients for life.

I had a molar extraction done today by Dr Meares. He is above and beyond your basic dentistry! He cares about your visit and even called me in the evening to make sure I was doing ok after the procedure! He is not in network for me but worth every penny and I immediately booked cleaning for my special needs kids to see him! A dentist with a HUGE heart of gold!

This is hands down one of the best dental practices of which I've had the pleasure of being a patient. Dr. Meares and his staff go above and beyond to be transparent and take the time to understand you as the patient, and formulate a dental plan for your success.

If you're looking for a dental provider in the greater Columbia, SC area, Dr. Meares is the best. Without a question, I would recommend this practice to all my family and friends.
