Patient Testimonials

I fell into a minor miracle. I had a temporary crown break loose. My regular dentist was over 500 miles away. I called Pleasant Smiles and despite being too far away to get to the office before they closed, Dr. Obenchain waited for me, repaired the crown, and treated me as a very special long term patient.I would recommend giving her a call if you need any type of dental issue addressed.

Donald V.

Best dentist I have been to. When one dentist said I needed a crown and then couldn't schedule an appointment for weeks, I went to her and she said I didn't need a crown. She fixed me up in minutes with just a filling saving me about $1000 bucks. She is honest unlike other dentists in the area.

Sybil N.

What a great place to go to the dentist. Yeah going to the dentist was enjoyable. Well not the drilling, sound and of the drill and the smell but the care that Dr Obenchain and her staff gave me. Top notch.

Brent N.

...Not only was everyone friendly, the place was clean and decorated nicely. I would recommend this dental office to anyone.

Victoria E.

This was my first trip to the dentist in nearly 5 years but after just 45 minutes of sincerity and care I felt as though I've been coming here my whole life. Everyone I encountered was super genuine, hospitable and efficient.

Patric G.

Today was my first visit with Dr Obenchain and I am so thankful that I found her. She was the most gentle and skillful dentist I have ever ran into(I know this because I have many work done in my mouth). Her staff were so curteous & knowledgeable.

K. Baek

Most pleasant dentist office I've visited (worked in many different states and cities and used at least a dozen different dentists). Dr. Obenchain is expert and concerned for her patients. Great staff and services.

Curt S.

Dr. Julie is a great dentist. She is compassionate and caring and will go over and beyond for her patients... I would highly recommend Pleasant Smiles Cosmetic and Family Dentistry for anyone looking for an experienced dentist and caring staff. I live in Pawley’s Island and travel about 80 miles to Dr. Julie, wouldn’t want to go to any other dentist. That says it all!!

Lorraine D.

I have been a patient of Dr.Julie Obenchain for 18 years. Great personality, impeccable knowledge and dedication to providing the best treatment plan. She doesn't hurt either!! I have also personally seen the wonderful results of her cosmetic dentistry. Glad to have her in Mr Pleasant!

Carol H.

Dr. O and her talented staff have it going on! No wait, competitive prices and great service will keep me coming back. Hope you don't have cold sensitivity because this place is cool!

Kyle R.

Pleasant, courteous and always concerned about making your visit as comfortable as possible. Wouldn't go anywhere else. Love Dr. Julie !!

Debbie H. W.

Dr. Obenchain took over the practice of Dr. Jared Slovan & I am ever so glad that she did. She is an excellent dentist, who has a gentle touch & a warm presence that makes going through something we all hate a lot easier.
