Locally owned and caring for smiles since 1986
The Columbia Dentists that Families Trust
Our four doctors provide personal, unhurried care under one roof. Your treatment is guided by your needs, not corporate quotas.
Personal Care, familiar faces, and cookies fresh from the oven
For 40 years, Brickyard Dental Group has remained independently owned so your care can stay personal. Your Columbia dentists make decisions based on what is best for your health, comfort, and goals.
With multiple doctors under one roof, you get the convenience of a larger practice without losing the relationships that make dental care feel familiar. You can see a team that knows your smile, follows your progress, and plans to care for you for years to come. And because the little things matter, every visit may even end with a homemade cookie.
Proud to serve
Columbia veterans
Dr. Barno’s military service continues to shape the way Brickyard Dental Group cares for people: with respect, consistency, and a deep sense of responsibility.
We’re proud to support Columbia veterans through the VA Community Care Network, helping eligible patients receive trusted dental care close to home.
Four doctors, one roof
Meet Our Doctors
What independence looks like in practice
Dental implants, IV sedation, microscope-assisted root canals, and full-arch surgery are all available at Brickyard Dental Group. That means fewer referrals, fewer extra appointments, and less time coordinating care across different offices.
With two IV sedation dentists, Dr. Barno and Dr. Gray, patients with dental anxiety or complex treatment plans can get the care they need more comfortably, often without being sent to a separate specialist.
From being greeted by name to being offered a drink when you arrive, our team is here to make your appointment feel simple, comfortable, and welcoming. And yes, the cookies come from our own oven.
Whether you’re calling to schedule, asking a question, or talking through treatment, our bilingual team helps make communication easier in the language you’re most comfortable using.

Your first visit, made easy
A greeter will welcome you at our door and offer coffee, water, or one of our homemade warm cookies.
Your first appointment includes a comprehensive exam, so you can leave with a real plan for what comes next.
Blankets, earplugs, lip balm, and nitrous oxide are available to help you feel more at ease.
High-quality care that stays within reach
Premium dental care, without the premium price
Brickyard Dental Group is out-of-network by choice, giving our dentists the freedom to recommend the labs, materials, and treatment timeline that best support your long-term health. You receive thoughtful, high-quality care without paying for unnecessary extras or a luxury-office markup.
You can still use your insurance benefits. Our front office will file your claims and help you receive any reimbursement your plan provides.
No insurance? The Brickyard membership plan includes preventive care for one flat rate, and flexible financing can make larger treatments easier to manage. Call (803) 736-1024 to learn more.
Word gets around in Northeast Columbia
Questions Columbia patients ask us
We’re not in-network with any dental insurance plan, and that’s deliberate. We file claims on your behalf with most plans, so patients keep seeing the Columbia dentist they trust and still use their out-of-network benefits. Our front office will estimate your reimbursement before treatment begins.
Often less than people expect. Many PPO plans reimburse a meaningful share of out-of-network treatment, our membership plan covers preventive care at a flat rate, and every treatment plan comes with a written estimate before any work starts.
Yes, in credentialed hands. Research estimates that about 36% of adults experience dental anxiety, and roughly 12% experience extreme dental fear, one of the most common reasons people delay care. Dr. Barno and Dr. Gray both hold IV sedation credentials, and we monitor your vital signs throughout treatment.
Yes. Family dentistry here covers first visits through braces-adjacent care like retainers and mouthguards, and our 7 AM openings work around school schedules.
In most cases, yes. Call (803) 736-1024 when we open, and we’ll work you in the same or next day, including first-time patients.
Yes. Placement and restoration both happen here, including full-arch cases. That matters more than it sounds: the CDC reports that about 1 in 6 adults 65 and older has lost all of their natural teeth, and coordinated in-office care shortens the road back.
We’re in-network with the VA Community Care program, and Dr. Barno’s own military background informs how the practice serves Columbia’s veteran community.
Twice a year for most patients. The CDC estimates that nearly half of adults over 30 show signs of gum disease, and six-month visits are how it gets caught early instead of treated late.
A combined hygiene appointment and comprehensive exam: cleaning, digital X-rays, a full evaluation, and an unhurried conversation about what you want for your teeth.
