Love this office. Super modern, state-of-the-art and efficient. And….. such skilled professionals who are also the nicest people! Love it. Had two old metal fillings replaced with today’s modern materials. Fillings absolutely disappear into your tooth like they’re not even there. Wish I would have done it earlier!

After dealing with several complex dental issues for over four years, I felt overwhelmed and stuck. Coordinating care across multiple providers felt overwhelming, and I struggled to find someone with the right combination of advanced training and experience who could truly help.When I first came... across Expertise Dental, I was nervous just making that initial phone call. But from the very first conversation with Jenna at the front desk, I felt genuinely heard and supported. She was patient, kind, and clearly understood exactly what I was describing — something that had been missing in previous calls.What stood out immediately is that Expertise Dental is a true team of skilled dentists with different specialties who work together to create a comprehensive plan. After following their Instagram for a while and seeing their commitment to ongoing learning and advanced training, it built trust in their expertise.My first consultation brought such a deep sense of relief. Joyce made me feel completely at ease with her clear explanations and caring manner. Dr. Melissa Minger Swanson, who is handling my case, has a gentle, thoughtful approach that truly touched me — she combines real skill with such kindness. Every single team member I’ve interacted with — from Randi, who made the photos such a breeze, to Mandi, who’s been so helpful with questions and billing —each member has been professional, patient, and detail-oriented.The entire office runs smoothly -it’s clear a tremendous amount of thoughtful care and hard work has gone into building this practice.I’m so grateful to Dr. Amanda Seay for creating this collaborative, high-level environment and to Dr. Swanson for the confidence I now have moving forward with my treatment.I'm really looking forward to seeing the comprehensive plan Dr. Melissa and her team develop for me and continuing this journey with them.read more

I have been a patient at Expertise since 2019 and I cannot imagine a dental team anywhere being more professional, more caring, more knowledgable, and more into their patients than Dr Seay and her crew. Most recently, Monica worked her magic on a mouthful of teeth that did not always receive the... best attention from their owner. Thank you Monica and Dr Tony for helping me keep these poor old chompers going!read more

I discovered Dr. Mennito through his students at MUSC. As they described his meticulous work and attention to detail, they made it clear he would be their choice for any cosmetic dentistry. When Dr. Mennito completed my cosmetic veneers and crowns, he and his staff exceeded my expectations. He had... a clear plan we followed that has made my smile exactly as I had hoped! I often catch my wife and daughters staring at my smile. They are as pleased as I am with the end result!read more

Beth was my hygentist today. She welcomed me with a heated pad for the back of my neck and covered my shirt with a soft towel before adding the splash protection. She was gentle and thorough using a water pick prior to using the metal pick. This was to clear any bacteria first. We had a nice... conversation. Beth was born in Iowa but she is much too ladylike to live on a farm. Her husband is an insurance unwriter from Memphis. They have 2 boys ages 8 and 10. They left Kansas City to move closer to their favorite vacation place - Pawleys Is. And some of their family followed. Beth has hazel eyes that as she says looks like a muddy river. I think!In any event, she is the best and I feel blessed to have her take care of me. Thanks Beth!!read more
