My dad was an orthopedic surgeon, and I always was drawn to the medical field. I worked at the hospital and at his office a lot when I was younger. And then we had a good family friend that was a dentist and also my pediatric dentist that were close friends of ours. And so they sort of influenced me to go towards dentistry instead of medicine.
The best rewarding aspect of dentistry for me is when you help a patient or when you can change their life by changing their smile. It’s very rewarding. It definitely makes you feel good that you’ve helped somebody else.

I don’t dread going to the dentist, and trust me, I never thought I would EVER say that! Leah is the GREATEST hygienist and Dr. Wiburn is amazing. Highly recommended and wish I could give them 10 stars!

Quick workers, and very kind! They always make sure I’m okay and that I’m not feeling any pain and I really appreciate that. I hadn’t been in awhile and was super nervous. But as always even when I was younger they took good care of me ! Id recommend them over and over again!

Loved it! The staff was very kind and welcoming and non judgmental. The dentist herself was very quick in telling everything we were gonna be doing. And made sure I understood everything. And then going over all insurance information they explained everything very well, a lot better than any other dental office did. All in all it was great. And I can’t remember the name of the lady who did my X-rays and everything but she made it better in general and made it very comfortable and explained a lot in detail. Will definitely be back and use this dentist from now on! And went back to have my cleaning done and the same girl cleaned my teeth did an amazing job. I’m still in awe with how well she did.

Dr. Wilburn and her staff welcomed me and took excellent care of my dental emergency. In the middle of some major dental work, my regular dentist office was flooded due to broken pipes. Dr Wilburn graciously agreed to help. Excellent experience.

Wonderful Dental Office! The staff is so nice and very professional. My hygienist Leah listened to my concerns and gave me a detailed overview and what to expect at my next visit. She was very gentle and patient. I highly recommend Columbia Family Dentistry ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My kids also love coming here. They are never afraid when they know they are going to the dentist. Great job Columbia Family Dentistry!!

Loved the entire visit! They were very prompt and informative about all my questions! And I definitely felt confident with all the answers I received from not only the hygienist but the Dentist herself! Took amazing care of me after a very lengthy time of not being to a dentist! And I would love to see everyone go here for their future teeth cleanings!!
