I was very pleased with my recent visit to Bethea Family Dentistry. I needed a tooth removed and was nervous... considering I was a new patient. I called the emergency number and was advised I could come in that same day. From the moment I entered, staff (Latevia) was very professional and welcoming. She has an amazing personality and was extremely easy to talk to. I am usually quite apprehensive about visits to the dentist, but honestly talking with her prior to my procedure made me less anxious. My tooth extraction went smoothly and was pain-free! There was a moment when I tensed up simply from nervousness and Dr. Bethea noticed and get this... he actually paused to ask me if anything hurt! Dr. Bethea is the first dentist to do this and it was also my first experience with totally pain-free dentistry. Thank you Dr. Bethea for the great experience and good quality work. You and your team truly go above and beyond. Oh, and I can’t forget to mention the interior design. The office was quite upscale with a zen-like design. The interior design and cleanliness definitely promotes the value of care offered by Bethea Family Dentistry. And being able to watch Netflix doesn’t hurt either! 😊read more

While he was removing the tooth, he talked to me the whole time and explained what he was doing, which I loved. And to keep me entertained, his assistant played a movie for me while I waited and while the procedure was being done. He got me out in a timely manner and I am very satisfied!read more

I have had 3 appointments so far. Everyone is extremely caring and professional which means a lot to me. 5 stars really... does not do this practice justice. Dr. Bethea is a great dentist but it’s his “chair side” manner that will keep me as a returning patient. He and his staff members interact so well together. If you are nervous, you feel a sense of calm when you first walk in. I so appreciate Leslie’s patience with me; she’s another reason I will return. Kudos to the entire staff!read more

5 stars Dr. Bethea is by far a gift to Columbia, SC dentistry. Being a native of New York, I will go out of my way to... fly home as well as my 3 children to our own dentist of 30 years but not anymore! I encourage all individuals especially tricare individuals to go see Dr. Bethea. You will not be disappointed! After researching 15 different dentist I choose him because of his non aggressive and conservative views in dental care. If it does not need to be fixed he will watch something! From start to finish—dealing with Ashley and Betty at the front desk made everything run smoothly and paperwork was all in tact, organized and ready to go! Leslie cleaned myself and my two boys (8,4). She was extremely kind and went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable! My daughter however did not want to get her teeth cleaned (age 2) and I was extremely disappointed but she did allow Dr. Bethea to count her teeth. He was really great with all my kids! Dr. Bethea was a very patient and kind man and insisted that it was fine and not to force anything on her. I am confident in 6 months she will get a teeth cleaning by this office and earn her coloring book out of the treasure chest! To add to this day—I needed a little filling and I have never trusted anyone with my teeth beside my dentist back—I am so glad I did!!! I would not want to go anywhere else beside this office. Lativia (very sweet, kind and assuring lady) helped assist and I cannot say enough positive things about this practice. I will be telling everyone I know! Thank you! Thank you!read more

Cannot speak highly enough about Dr. Bethea, Ashley, and Latevia!!! I had some wisdom teeth issues start on a Friday... night and found them when I was up late Saturday night in pain. I submitted an online form thinking I would have to wait until Monday to schedule an appointment and wouldn't get any relief until later in the week. NOPE! I got a call on Sunday afternoon, had an appointment scheduled for Monday, had the procedure done the same day. More importantly, I communicated with Dr. Bethea that I had a wedding to be in and he helped put a plan of action together to provide me relief so I could enjoy and partake in all the festivities. Cannot recommend them enough!!!read more

Dr. Bethea and his staff are the golden standard. Everyone is kind and welcoming at each visit treating you like family from the moment you walk in. Dr. Bethea is very attentive and has been especially great with my 8 year old. I’d rather come here and pay out of pocket than go somewhere else for insurance purposes. I have had nothing but excellent service each time I have brought my 3 boys in for their dental care. Thank you to Dr. Bethea and the hygienists for taking care of my boys’ teeth! I don’t plan to ever take them anywhere else.

Everyone at this practice was wonderful, welcoming and extremely professional - from the front desk staff to the hygienists and certainly Dr. Bethea. It was a wonderful experience that lived up to the hype it was reported to be by the person who referred us. I highly recommend if you are looking for a new dental practice.
