Our Approach

Dr. Earl B. Hartzog is the proud owner and lead dentist at Bamberg Dentistry, serving South Carolina communities with exceptional, compassionate dental care. A 2009 graduate of the MUSC James B. Edwards College of Dental Medicine, Dr. Hartzog is dedicated to continuing the legacy of excellence built by local dental pioneers.

In 2011, Dr. Hartzog founded Bamberg Dentistry by consolidating the long-standing practices of Dr. E. Gary Jeffords and Dr. Allen Webb, following the earlier acquisition of Denmark Dentistry from the estate of Dr. Samuel Broughton Baker, Jr. These distinguished dentists each served their communities for over 30 years, setting a standard of personalized, community-centered dental care that Dr. Hartzog proudly upholds today.

Focused on delivering comprehensive, modern dentistry close to home, Dr. Hartzog has expanded Bamberg Dentistry to include specialized services in oral surgery and orthodontics. Partnering with Dr. Drane Oliphant, DMD, MD (Oral Surgery) and Dr. Dawes Edwards, DMD, MS (Orthodontics), Bamberg Dentistry offers patients access to expert specialty care without the need to travel to larger cities.

With a commitment to advanced technology, patient-centered service, and strong doctor-patient relationships, Dr. Hartzog and the Bamberg Dentistry team strive to provide outstanding dental care in a friendly, welcoming environment. New patients are always welcome, and Dr. Hartzog looks forward to helping you achieve and maintain a healthy, confident smile.
