Columbia Smiles A Modern Approach to Dental Wellness
Meet Dr. Nick Accredited Cosmetic Dentist
Columbia Smiles is under the leadership of our esteemed cosmetic dentist, Dr. Nick Pournaras, a South Carolina native who has dedicated his professional career to helping individuals improve their oral health and rejuvenate their smiles. He has been honored as one of only six dentists in the state of South Carolina to receive an Accredited Membership by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD).
Perhaps as tribute to Dr. Nick, or to our incredible patient base, many of our tremendously talented staff members have been at Columbia Smiles for multiple years. Long-time patients have come to expect the signature positive attitude and good humor of our team members, and you can as well.

Gorgeous Transformations With Porcelain Veneers
Small chips, deep stains, or unevenness in your teeth can leave you feeling embarrassed to show your smile. While some cosmetic solutions provide faster results than others, porcelain veneers offer you a near-instant smile transformation.
These thin porcelain restorations fit directly over the front surfaces of the teeth to mask all manner of minor flaws and restore the aesthetics of your smile. As an accredited member of the AACD, Dr. Nick works closely with his staff to design, craft, and place custom veneers that blend in with your natural teeth.
Dental Implants
Fill in the Gaps
Missing teeth can do more than put a damper on your smile: gaps between teeth may affect your facial structure and cause oral health problems. Dental implants are the most reliable and permanent tooth restoration option available today.
Once your implants have been surgically placed in your jaw, Dr. Nick will top them with beautiful porcelain restorations that blend in with your surrounding teeth and restore your oral function. You’ll be able to speak, chew, and smile normally.
We Love What We Do A Family and Locally Owned Dental Practice
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.
