If a smile is the prettiest thing you can wear, Dr. Stephen Durham and his staff have given me a stunning new wardrobe! During my consultation with Dr. Stephen Durham, I knew that I had found the right home for my dental needs. Everyone is so highly trained, knowledgeable and thoughtful. To say the least, my expectations were exceeded and I was provided the ultimate care.
With oral sedation, you will feel relaxed and sleepy but completely aware of your surroundings. You can respond to Dr. Durham and his assistants with no problem. The effect of oral sedation wears off quickly, but you still need to arrange for a responsible adult to drive you home. Potential sedatives include diazepam, lorazepam, midazolam, and triazolam.

Meet Dr. Durham
Report
Dr. Durham has been interested in the practice of dentistry since a young age. He received his bachelor's degree from Clemson University and achieved his dream of becoming a dentist when he earned his dental degree from the Medical University of South Carolina College of Dental Medicine. Upon graduating, he moved back to his home town in the upstate of South Carolina where he opened his first dental practice.
Sedation Dentistry
Report
Dental anxiety can often cause patients to put off going to the dentist, but that's no longer necessary. As gentle as Dr. Durham is, just the thought of a needle is too scary for some patients. So, we offer oral sedation. The process is safe and simple. We'll provide you with a pill to take one hour before your visit.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Report
Cosmetic dentistry is about presenting your best self to the world. Having a reason to smile, and making others want to smile back. If you see flaws in your smile you want to correct, we can help you brighten your world with veneers-super-thin porcelain coverings that eliminate stains, discoloration, and misshapen teeth.
TMJ and TMD Treatment
Report
In the last few years, research has shown that Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI) medications such as Prozac, Paxil, Zoloft, and Celexa may cause clenching and grinding of the teeth in patients who have never done this before and will increase these behaviors (both frequency and intensity) in those known to clench or grind their teeth.
Laser Gum Periodontal Therapy
Report
Recent studies have made it clear that gum disease is not only an oral issue. It's been discovered to affect a lot more than just gums. In a healthy mouth, bacteria are kept separate from the rest of your body. But if you have periodontitis, a serious gum infection, it can open up a door to your bloodstream, putting you at increased risk for heart disease, stroke, bacterial endocarditis, and even premature birth in pregnancy.
