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.

Meet Dr. Oliver Spaeth, DDS
Dr. Oliver Spaeth, DDS has joined the Bela Family Dentistry practice in Aiken.
Dr. Spaeth provides general restoration, crown and bridge, non-molar endodontics, implant restoration, simple and surgical extractions, Clear Correct aligners, oral sedation, nightguards/occlusal guards, whitening, dentures/partials, and cosmetic dentistry. He currently also offers both Botox and Filler.
“I love removable prosthodontics and once had an onsite mobile dental business that provided dental care to the residents of long-term care nursing homes in southern Colorado,” Dr. Spaeth said. “My passion is making a positive impact on the lives of people who trust me with caring for their dental needs. Seeing what a difference we can make is rewarding.”
After graduating dental school in 2004, Dr. Spaeth worked in Tucson, Ariz., in a corporate dental office for three years. He and his wife then moved to Colorado Springs, Colo., where he was a solo practitioner and private practice owner for 15 years.
“When I was 6 years old, I decided I wanted to be just like our family dentist, Dr. McIntosh,” he said. “He was kind, gentle and funny and seemed to be very happy and love his life. I wanted that too while being able to help people.”
Dr. Spaeth and his wife, Meghan, live locally with their daughter, Anika, and son, Landon. He spends a lot of time traveling to horse shows with Anika and playing golf and tennis with Landon. Dr. Spaeth enjoys the outdoors and enjoys fishing or hunting with Landon and his father.
Meet Dr. Madison Dinkins, DMD
Born in San Antonio, Texas but raised across a variety of places, Dr. Madison Dinkins now calls South Carolina home—with strong family roots in Rembert. A proud Texas A&M Aggies fan and football enthusiast, she brings a passionate and personal touch to dentistry, blending clinical skill with genuine care.
Dr. Dinkins earned her dental degree from the University of North Carolina Adams School of Dentistry, where she deepened her love for working with her hands and discovered the joy of transforming smiles. Her favorite part of dentistry? The meaningful, long-term relationships she builds with her patients. If she weren’t a dentist, you’d probably find her pursuing a career as an artist.
When she’s not in the office, Dr. Dinkins enjoys challenging crossword puzzles, watching Gilmore Girls, and belting out Billy Joel’s She’s Always a Woman (though she warns her passengers first). A Kiawah marathon finisher and self-declared beach enthusiast, she loves spending her time off relaxing with family, catching up with friends, and enjoying great local food—especially classic Mexican dishes like chips and salsa.
Dr. Dinkins is thrilled to be back in South Carolina, close to her supportive parents in Rembert—and especially her labradoodle puppy!

Services We Offer
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. During a routine general dentistry visit, your dentist may identify teeth that are beyond saving — whether from decay or a dental emergency — and recommend implants when root canal treatment is no longer an option. Implants function just like real teeth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. They can also be used to support dentures, combining stability with a complete smile restoration for patients missing multiple teeth. 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 teeth whitening or porcelain veneers to refresh your smile, orthodontic treatment to correct alignment, or specialized care through our pediatric dentistry services for your little ones, 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 and your whole family achieve and maintain a smile you love.
