Philip R Fisher, DMD

Philip R Fisher, DMD is a dentist in Myrtle Beach, SC, practicing at Sand Oak Dental Care. Dr. Fisher provides comprehensive oral health care, combining advanced techniques with a patient-centered approach, and places an emphasis on education so patients can maintain healthy smiles. He earned his Doctor of Dental Medicine from the Medical University of SC College of Dental Medicine in Charleston, along with a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry from East Tennessee State University in Johnson City. Dr. Deor Zohar, a general dentist, also provides care at the practice.

The practice offers dental cleanings and checkups, with the American Dental Association recommending visits at least twice a year, and more frequent visits of every three to four months for some patients based on oral health. Cleanings include removal of plaque and tartar, examination of the teeth and gums, an oral cancer screening, and X-rays to detect issues such as bone loss, abscesses, or cysts. Fluoride treatment may be recommended for patients more susceptible to cavities, and hygienists provide preventive guidance on brushing, flossing, and diet. For patients with gum health issues, the practice may recommend gingivitis cleanings or gum therapy known as scaling and root planing, a nonsurgical procedure performed with a topical or local numbing agent for comfort. Comprehensive oral exams are recommended for new patients and every three to five years thereafter, and dental imaging using digital radiography, which uses 90 percent less radiation than traditional film X-rays, supports diagnosis and treatment planning.

The office is located on North Kings Highway, about a tenth of a mile from 82nd Parkway and roughly two-tenths of a mile from Ocean Boulevard. The Castillo Del Mar and Living Dunes neighborhoods are a short distance away, and Bear Branch creek is about three-tenths of a mile from the practice.

Dr. Fisher's background in chemistry and his dental training in SC support the practice's focus on preventive care and patient education for Myrtle Beach residents.
