All we can say is wow after the first visit. Dr. Rowe is awesome. Talked with us regarding our three year old’s lip tie, answering all of our questions, sat with us for over an hour. He was very thorough with explaining everything and I was so impressed with the hand out after the appointment. Not only included instructions but a QR code with a visual to help prepare our little one. His assistant Cindy was so sweet and accommodating as well. We are looking forward to continual care and feel confident she is in excellent hands!

Dr.Rowe and his staff are very professional!
We had a great experience in the office today. I will definitely be recommending his practice to friends and family.
He was a very thorough doctor. He really listens to patients and you can tell he really cares.

I am a first-time mom and got the recommendation from my PCP for Dr. Rowe and I could not be more happy I took the advice. I didn't realize how much of an issue my daughter's tongue and lip ties were having on her feeding abilities. I noticed a dramatic difference even on her next feed. Dr Rowe gave clear instructions and advice to ensure it didn't reattach and strengthen her muscles.

Dr. Rowe and his team were phenomenal and each very knowledgeable about my son’s symptoms. They thoroughly explained the whole process from start to finish and what was going to be the best approach to help him with his mouth ties. We felt very welcome and cared for by every individual in the office from start to finish of our appointment.

About Southern Roots Periodontics: Implant and Laser Dentistry
Southern Roots Periodontics: Implant and Laser Dentistry is a periodontal and dental implant practice located at 2120 North Beltline Boulevard in Columbia, South Carolina. The office describes its values as being persistently honest, compassionately informative, unwaveringly patient, and boldly holistic, and it aims to give each patient a VIP experience while doing what is best for their health. Dental implant services listed on the practice's website include dental implant placement, dental implant restoration, dental implant removal, bone grafting, ridge augmentation, sinus lifts, and ceramic implants. The site explains that implants are small titanium anchors placed in the jawbone that fuse with the bone over a few months, helping to maintain bone structure, restore chewing ability, and protect neighboring teeth.
Beyond implants, the practice offers a full range of periodontal care, including scaling and root planing, osseous surgery, dental laser surgery, crown lengthening, tissue grafting, platelet rich fibrin, Arestin placement, periodontal maintenance, and biopsies. Additional procedures include extractions, torus removal, sleep apnea treatment, lip-tie and tongue-tie treatment, and oral and intravenous sedation to help patients relax during procedures. According to the website, the office uses laser surgery to reduce post-operative healing time and the need for sutures, and platelet rich fibrin to use the patient's own body to heal. New patients receive a personal welcome call from the doctor before their first visit and a follow-up call after treatment.
