P leasant Family Dentistry has been a leader in
the dental industry for almost 30 years and has
been named “Best Dentist” by the readers of
Mount Pleasant Magazine five years in a row.
Started by Drs. Richard Jackowski and Gregory Johnson
in 1989, Pleasant Family
Dentistry now has five doctors
and continues to grow.
Together, they actively strive for optimum oral health
for their patients that can be maintained for a lifetime.
Combine that with a staff that is constantly training with
onsite consultants and the result is better service for new
and existing patients.
“We have the ability to meet all of your dental needs
under one roof,” said Dr. Jackowski, co-owner of Pleasant
Family Dentistry. “We offer general dentistry, implants,
orthodontics, oral surgery and IV sedation.”
To accommodate this well-ordered dental practice,
Pleasant Family Dentistry is undergoing a massive
expansion to increase the number of treatment rooms,
add surgical suites and enhance the patient experience.
The practice is actively looking for another general dentist
to join their compassionate team, which offers treatment
six days a week.
“With the expansion, we are installing the latest state-
of-the-art 3D scanning equipment that will allow us to
treatment plan implants and orthodontic needs as well as
diagnosing other dental problems the patient may have,”
said Dr. Jackowski, who has practiced since 1989.
The new age of 3D dentistry produces more precise
images in a time-efficient manner. This method also limits
the patient’s exposure to radiation compared to previous
methods. This new advancement will enable the dentists
at Pleasant Family Dentistry to see nerves and infections
more clearly to ensure proper treatment.
Pleasant Family Dentistry welcomes newcomers to
the area and actively helps in acquiring information from
previous dentists so that better treatment can be provided.
“Our goal is to make the transition as smooth as
possible,” said Dr. Jackowski. “We want all of our patients
to be informed decision-makers and fully understand
any oral health issues they may have and what treatments
may be available to them. We also strive to deliver this
information in a timely manner by our caring and
compassionate team.”
Patients should go to the dentist at least twice a year
for checkups and preventive care because cavities and
gum disease are preventable. Regular visits to Pleasant
Family Dentistry can detect any early signs of disease and
problems can be treated at a manageable stage.
All of the doctors at Pleasant Family Dentistry are
kind and caring and believe in continuing education to
keep up with the constant improvements in technology
and standards of care.
“We strive for excellence in everything we do,” said
Dr. Jackowski.
Pleasant Family Dentistry has a website, www.
, filled with valuable
information about dental health problems and their
approach to practicing modern dentistry in a soothing,
relaxed and compassionate environment. To schedule an
appointment, call 843-491-8995 or visit them in person
at 1204 Two Island Court.
