Dr. Nolin Butler

As a dedicated fourth-generation South Carolinian, Dr. Nolin Butler is thrilled to become an integral part of the Crowns Now Family Dentistry team, contributing to its longstanding tradition of commitment and service in the dental field. His South Carolina roots in Myrtle Beach nurtured his interest in dentistry from a young age, inspired by his family’s deep-seated involvement in the medical community and the dental field. Following his high school graduation, Dr. Butler pursued a Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University of South Carolina. Further cementing his commitment to dental health, he carried out a year of research in Oral Health Sciences and subsequently obtained his Doctorate of Dental Medicine (DMD) from the College of Dental Medicine at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC), signifying a milestone in his enduring journey towards dental proficiency.

Throughout his academic journey at MUSC, Dr. Butler actively engaged with the international dental fraternity, Delta Sigma Delta, fostering a strong sense of fellowship and dedication to dental vocation. As an active American Dental Association member, he continually refines his skills and stays at the forefront of dental advancements. His dedication to the community he was educated in is reflected in his work, taking immense pride in providing dental care to his local community.

When he’s not fulfilling his professional duties, Dr. Butler enthusiastically supports the Gamecocks, faithfully following their athletic endeavors. Additionally, he enjoys quality time with his loved ones, playing golf, and spending time on the water. His love for South Carolina extends beyond his personal interests, directly impacting his practice as he offers each patient the same level of care and attention he’d hope to receive himself. Dr. Butler is driven by a philosophy of delivering the highest standards of dental care while creating a comforting environment for patients and is thrilled to be serving in a practice where his values align so well.

Dr. Emma Hughes

It is with great excitement that we welcome Dr. Emma Hughes to Crowns Now Irmo, where she will be joining Dr. Nolin Butler in providing exceptional care to our patients.

Dr. Hughes is no stranger to Crowns Now—she worked with us before attending dental school, and we are thrilled that her journey has come full circle. She loved our team and patients so much; she couldn’t stay away!

A native of upstate South Carolina, Dr. Hughes was born and raised in Woodruff. She graduated from Woodruff High School and later attended Wofford College (Go Terriers!), where she earned bachelor’s degrees in biology and Spanish. She went on to earn her Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree from the LECOM School of Dental Medicine in Bradenton, Florida.

After several years out of state, Dr. Hughes is excited to be back home in South Carolina with her family. She is trained in many aspects of general dentistry and enjoys caring for patients of all ages. Dr. Hughes is also a proud member of the Academy of General Dentistry and the American Dental Association.

Dr. Hughes met her husband, Dr. Michael Jauch, in dental school. Together, they have two young children, Parker and Molly, as well as two beloved dogs, Sutton and Stella, who keep their household full of energy and joy.

We’re so excited to have Dr. Hughes back with us—and we know you’ll love her as much as we do!
