  Dentistry

  Welcome to Columbia Smiles, the restorative dental practice of Dr. Nick Pournaras. Along with Dr. Nick, as we call him, our entire team shares a genuine excitement and enthusiasm for dentistry. Coupled with a true love for people and a strong work ethic, this passion has allowed us to expand our practice into a tight-knit community of happy, loyal patients. We hold ourselves to the highest standards at Columbia Smiles; customer service, value, and quality care are the cornerstones of our practice, and we strive to uphold these values with every one of our patients. We’re not living up to our high standards unless you leave our Columbia, SC, Cosmetic and Restorative dental practice completely satisfied with your experience.

  Orthodontics

  Patients looking for orthodontics no longer have to rely on traditional metal braces to give them a beautiful smile and proper bite. Dr. Nick Pournaras at Columbia Smiles uses Six Month Smiles to give patients the smile of their dreams in just a few months. Six Month Smiles offers two discreet options: Removable clear aligner trays or braces with clear brackets and tooth-colored wires. Both systems gently guide your teeth into proper alignment in as little as four to nine months. However, the average treatment using this faster form of orthodontics is just six months. Six Month Smiles orthodontics is best for patients with mild to moderate alignment issues.

  Dental Implants

  Dental implants are devices that replace lost tooth roots. Dental implants are combined with restorations (replacement teeth) and abutments to provide a natural-looking replacement for missing teeth. This dentistry solution provides two unique benefits: Dental implants make your crowns, bridges, and dentures as stable as natural teeth. Dental implants are the only restorative option that can stop the jaw from receding after tooth loss.

  Cosmetic Dentistry

  Quality dentistry involves more than routine cleanings and exams. While general and restorative dentists focus on the health and function of your smile, our cosmetic dentist Nick Pournaras combines his deep understanding of dental aesthetics with the latest techniques to improve the appearance of your smile based on your individual goals. While some forms of cosmetic dentistry can benefit your dental health, the main goal of treatment is to address cosmetic flaws, giving you a gorgeous smile that you'll feel confident enough to share in any situation.
