I had an amazing experience from start to finish. The front office staff was welcoming and kind, my hygienist Bre was wonderful, and Dr. Dinkins was exceptional. You can truly feel how much they care about their patients and go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and treated like family. From being offered tea, coffee, or bottled water when you arrive, to blankets and personalized music during your appointment, every detail is thoughtful and intentional. I will absolutely be recommending Bela to my friends and family.

Great people. Great experience. They listen to you. Dr Spaeth is awesome! He starts with a greeting, then a handshake. He listens to you, gives you options, and is very gentle. He also explains the process while handling your dental issues/needs and makes sure you are ok. Brandi or is she Briana? is so awesome too!!! The ladies at the front are nice and very professional.

Best dental practice in Aiken. I was concerned about leaving my dental practice when I moved to Aiken from PA, and so relived when I was referred to Bela Family Dentistry. Dr. Speath and the staff have been excellent and so nice for routine visits as well as for emergency care.
I had to go in to Bela for an infected tooth. They saw me promptly.
I did try Dental Care of South Aiken first, forget it. I made an appointment and they claimed they called me to cancel it. They wanted me to reschedule for 3 months later ! BS
Bela Family went above and beyond, saw me the next day for a consult and then two days later the tooth was out ! Plenty of treatment options to choose from. The dentist was personable, friendly and professional. Will work with you to fit your needs while addressing your concerns.
The staff, amazing, you can tell they all work together seamlessly.
I don’t know who does the hiring, but they are all pretty. They even have a new dentist there now to accommodate more patients.
I highly recommend them if you are serious about your teeth.

I am VERY anxious going to the dentist and this entire Bela team in Aiken was amazing! They called and asked how they could help my anxiety before my appointment. Their new patient questionnaire was very thorough. The staff helped me navigate some difficulty with a previous dentist. During the appointment Brianna was efficient and kind. Dr Dinkins did a complete assessment and listened to everything I had to say. I REALLY appreciate this office and everyone who works here. THANK YOU!

This was my 1st visit to Bela Dentistry and it has exceeded my expectations . I was greeted by smiling ladies at the front desk who also assisted me in filling out required forms; Veronica , Dr Spaeth's assistant after giving me a tour of the modern dental facility , took numerous x-rays and photos of my teeth in a professional manner . Dr Spaeth then introduced himself and to my joyous surprise we could chat in German for a little while as he was born in Germany ; he then explained in great detail ( in English )the treatment plan he will work out to finally make it possible for me to smile without being embarassed ; that is what I needed and wanted to hear and I have total confidence that he will succeed . I thank Dr Spaeth and his wonderful staff for treating me in a friendly and respectful manner.

I had no waiting. Arrived 5 minutes early. Had nice quick chat with the ladies up front. The dental assistant was professional, proficient and a pleasant person. Dr Swaeth was likewise and went about his work in the same way and answered all my questions. The room was pleasing in appearance and clean. The quipment was up to date. The new technology upgrades helps the doctor and patient. I may sound like an add but I've been around a long time. I don't dread coming to the dentist anymore.

I love love this dentist office. Everyone is super nice and I have not found that anywhere else. I’ve been looking for a dentist office to call home. I finally found it. They are extremely attentive to my individual needs. I am going on an international trip and needed work so that I could have beautiful smiles in my pictures. They were able to quickly get me what I needed. I am super appreciative. Thanks for being here in Aiken. You all are the best!!! I have been telling everyone about you all.

Great experience. Dr Cook talked about plans going forward to deal with my dry mouth, and recommended dealing with a molar that was beginning to crack so I wouldn't need a root canal.

Emergency Dental Care FAQs

Do I need to be an established patient to receive emergency care?

No. We welcome both new and returning patients for urgent dental treatment in Aiken. If you are experiencing pain or sudden damage, call us right away and we will do our best to schedule you promptly.

What steps should I take if a tooth is knocked out?

Handle the tooth by the crown, avoiding contact with the root. If it is dirty, gently rinse it without scrubbing. Keep it moist by placing it in milk and seek care immediately. Getting to our office within 30 minutes can greatly improve the chance of saving the tooth.

Is a severe toothache an emergency?

Yes, it can be. Persistent or intense tooth pain often indicates infection or advanced decay. Delaying treatment may lead to more serious complications. If the pain continues or worsens, it is important to be evaluated quickly.

Can I get a same day appointment for a dental emergency?

We make every effort to see emergency patients the same day whenever possible. Your comfort and oral health are important to us, and we prioritize urgent situations.

What should I do if my crown or filling falls out?

Contact us as soon as you can. A lost restoration exposes the tooth to potential damage and sensitivity. Prompt repair or replacement helps protect the tooth and restore normal function.

How much will emergency treatment cost?

The cost varies depending on the procedure required. After examining your situation, we will explain your treatment options clearly and review all fees in advance. We also offer payment solutions to help make care manageable.

Other Services We Offer in Bela Family Dentistry in Aiken

Our Aiken office provides a full range of dental services, including:

Preventive Care (Cleanings, Exams, and Fluoride Treatments)

Regular dental checkups and cleanings are the foundation of a healthy smile. Our thorough exams help catch potential issues early, while professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup that brushing alone can’t reach. Fluoride treatments provide extra protection against cavities by strengthening your enamel. With routine preventive care, we help you maintain a confident, long-lasting smile.

Cosmetic Dentistry (Teeth Whitening, Veneers, and Smile Makeovers)

A beautiful smile can boost your confidence, and our cosmetic dentistry services are designed to help you achieve just that. Professional teeth whitening lifts years of stains, while veneers provide a flawless, natural-looking enhancement for chipped, discolored, or misshapen teeth. Whether you’re looking for a small change or a complete smile makeover, we’ll create a customized treatment plan to bring your dream smile to life.

Restorative Treatments (Fillings, Crowns, and Bridges)

If you have a damaged or missing tooth, our restorative treatments can bring back the function and appearance of your smile. Tooth-colored fillings seamlessly repair cavities, while crowns restore strength and structure to weakened teeth. For missing teeth, bridges offer a natural-looking solution to fill gaps and prevent further dental issues. Our goal is to keep your smile healthy and strong for years to come.

Dental Implants for Permanent Tooth Replacement

Missing teeth don’t have to impact your confidence or quality of life. Dental implants are a long-term, natural-looking solution that replaces both the root and crown of a missing tooth. They function just like real teeth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. With proper care, implants can last a lifetime, making them an excellent investment in your oral health.

Comfortable Root Canals and Extractions

When a tooth is severely damaged or infected, a root canal can save it from extraction while relieving pain and restoring function. If an extraction is necessary, we make the process as smooth and comfortable as possible. Our gentle approach ensures minimal discomfort and a quick recovery. We’ll also discuss tooth replacement options to keep your smile complete and healthy.

Customized Treatment Plans Tailored to Your Needs

Every smile is unique, which is why we take the time to understand your goals and oral health needs. Whether you need a single procedure or a full-mouth rehabilitation, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your lifestyle and budget. Our goal is to provide exceptional care with long-term results, helping you achieve and maintain a smile you love.
