Hello! My name is Dr. Nathan Laughrey and I want to welcome you to Southern Oak Dental.

I was born and grew up in Johnstown, Pennsylvania.

I attended college at John Carroll University in Cleveland, OH and University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown. I got into dental school a year early and began dental school at the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine in 1993. I graduated in 1997 and then moved to Columbia, Maryland. I completed a general practice residency at Prince George’s Hospital Center in Cheverly, Maryland in 1998.

Moved back to Pittsburgh after my residency and began work in 1999. After working in several private practice offices from 1999 to 2003, then took a position as a general practice residency director at Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh. I stayed in that position for 3 years until 2006.

I then began my career in Western Pennsylvania and owned three offices. I kept my offices for 15 years before moving to South Carolina.

I have a wide of range of interests in dentistry, but really enjoy oral surgery, crown and bridge and endodontics.

I have two rescue dogs. I’m an avid hockey fan and huge fan of the Pittsburgh Penguins. I also love football and cheer hard for the Pittsburgh Steelers. I am also excited to start playing golf again now that I have moved to South Carolina.
