Life changing. I have had dental issues for a while now and had so much anxiety about my teeth, cost, the dentist, and having better dental hygiene. I was recommended here and I could not be happier. Dr. Tyler Erickson and his assistant are kind, funny, and completely put my mind at ease. My hygienist was so lovely and gentle and not judgmental, even though it had been a while since I’d been to a dentist. The ladies at the front desk always have huge smiles and make me feel like family. This entire practice has made me smile more, made me more confident, and made my life better honestly. Recommend 100/10.

After not being to the dentist in years, I was so excited — and a little nervous — to finally get back on track. I’ve always loved getting my teeth cleaned, and this office reminded me exactly why.
From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm, calm, and welcoming. The front desk staff were kind and professional, and everything felt organized and intentional. My hygienist (Alicia) was absolutely wonderful — thorough, gentle, and incredibly reassuring. She never once made me feel judged for the gap in visits. Instead, she was encouraging and even complimented my smile, which meant a lot.
The cleaning itself was relaxing and meticulous. She double-checked her work to make sure nothing was missed, and infection control was clearly a priority. When the dentist (Dr. Anthony) came in, she was just as kind and detail-oriented. She reviewed my X-rays and charting carefully and was genuinely impressed with my oral health. I left feeling proud, refreshed, and genuinely happy to have found such a stable, welcoming practice. I’m officially back on track with my dental care, and I’m actually looking forward to my next visit.
Highly recommend Oconee Dental to anyone looking for professionalism, warmth, and exceptional care!

Fantastic service. Dr DeAnn Harmon-Smith is the best dentist I’ve had (out of many over the years) because she is both very knowledgeable and compassionate. She will make time for you when you’re in pain and listen to your needs. What also makes the practice excellent are the office staff Avery and Megan, who work to get you in when you need it and help with referrals and financials.
