General Dentist
Dr. Christopher Robnett started this practice over thirty years ago at its present location in Northeast Columbia. He grew up in the area and graduated from Spring Valley High School in 1974, Clemson in 1978, and MUSC in 1983. He met his wife Dixie while at Spring Valley and they have three grown children and currently six grandchildren.
As most of his patients know, he loves to sail on Lake Murray, play his upright bass as part of a praise ensemble at his church, and working with wood. Needless to say the increasing number of grandchildren takes precedence over all of this.
He says that most of all though, God has blessed him with not only an unbelievable wife and family but also a very special dental practice with great patients and staff. “I have had the unique opportunity to develop longterm relationships with countless patients/friends and we have gone through the highs and lows of life together. I also have the privilege of them trusting me for their dental health needs.”
Dr. Robnett believes that it is his responsibility to work closely with a select group of dental specialists to provide for his patients the treatment plan that will keep their mouth healthy for their lifetime. He takes a special interest in providing the restorative treatment necessary for this whether it be fillings, crowns, bridges or making crowns or partials that are to be used in conjunction with dental implants. He has also performed cosmetic procedures such as porcelain veneers since their inception in the 1980’s, along with composite bonding and bleaching.
