About Oak Family Dentistry

Welcome to Oak Family Dentistry located on Maybank Highway in Johns Island. The core emphasis of our dental practice is on prevention of oral disease and establishment of oral habits that promote long term oral health. Our focus on prevention allows us to reduce your future dental costs through proper education on home care. If you do have a problem that needs to be addressed your dentist will provide you with options to remedy the issue to ensure the greatest level of success.

We invite you to stop by to visit our office and meet Dr. Peter Sciarrino and Staff. Here at Oak Family Dentistry we understand that many people have fear of the dentist from past experiences and our goal is to change that perception through our friendly and gentle approach to dental care. Dr. Sciarrino hopes to build a long term relationship with his patients here on John's Island and in the Charleston area. If you have passed us by, we urge you to stop in and say hello.

Here at Oak Family Dentistry we are also providers for all major dental insurance companies in order to better provide for our community.

Amenities

Here at Oak Family Dentistry we are firm believers of keeping up with the times. We implement the use of technological advances in dentistry to deliver more comfortable, safe, and a higher quality of dental care to our patients.

Digital Imaging

Xrays pay a vital role in the dentist's ability to diagnose and ensure the maintenance of healthy dentition. Digital xrays provide for a faster and safer way to diagnose dental disease. Implementing digital xrays in our Johns Island, SC, dentist office has allowed us to drastically reduce the dose required to take the xray. Our digital xrays also are displayed through our software on the screen so your dentist can show you exactly what he sees. This technology also offers a much more comfortable experience due to a smaller oral device.

Intra-Oral Imaging

In order to have a better perspective of you

Nitrous Oxide Sedation and Oral Sedation

For those of you who are a little anxious about getting dental treatment we offer nitrous oxide to help ease your nerves. Nitrous is a safe, relaxing way to get that necessary dental treatment that you have been putting off. It is completely reversible in minutes and you are completely alert before you leave the dental chair. For those we extreme dental anxiety we offer oral sedation. After meeting with the dentist to determine you are indeed a candidate for oral sedation you will be given a prescription for an anti anxiety medication. This medication you take the night before to ensure a good night's sleep then once more one hour prior to your dental appointment the next morning. It is our goal at Oak Family Dentistry to make your dental experience as pleasant as possible.

Convenient Fast Check-In

We welcome patients to download our new patient paperwork from our website and fill it out prior to your appointment. This will save you time the day of your first visit. Forms will also be available for pick up at our office prior to the appointment or to fill out the day of your appointment (please come in 15 min prior to your scheduled time to fill out the paper work).

Patient Education with iPads

With all that technology has to offer today why not take advantage of these tools and put them to good use in dentistry? Your dentist can use this tool to help increase understanding of dental options he can offer. We will go over your treatment options and arrive at treatment plan that will best suit your needs.
