Convenient Access from Ashley
From the village of Ashley, Pure Smiles is an 18-minute drive south on a single highway to our office in Delaware, Ohio. For anyone searching for a dentist in Ashley, OH, that one road keeps the trip simple. Dr. Vicki has spent more than 20 years treating patients of every age, and our doors are open Monday through Thursday from 8 AM to 5 PM.
Leave the Wornstaff Memorial Library at 302 E High St and head west on High Street, which is SR 229, to Franklin Street. Turn south on Franklin Street, part of US 42, and follow it about 10 miles through open farmland into Delaware. US 42 then joins E William St, where US 36 carries you west through downtown and across North Sandusky Street. Keep going on W William St for about a mile and a half, passing Blue Limestone Park, and you will arrive after roughly 12 miles and 18 minutes.
The office is at 833 W William St, Delaware, OH 43015, next to Applegate Lane and a short walk from Marvin Lane Park. Save our Google Maps listing for turn-by-turn help on your first trip. Patients from Kilbourne and Waldo travel similar country roads to reach us.
Small-Village Roots, Full-Service Dental Care
Ashley was laid out in 1849 and still feels like a place where people know the folks behind the counter. The village covers well under a square mile, with homes clustered around High Street, Franklin Street and the CSX tracks that cross Main Street. That close-knit pace is something we try to match in our own office.
Life in town centers on a handful of familiar spots. Families gather at the shelters in Newman Park, cool off at the village pool in summer and borrow books at Wornstaff Memorial Library. News and notices from the municipal building on North Harrison Street are posted on the Village of Ashley website. Our goal is for a dental visit to feel just as unhurried as a stop at any of them.
Families here are used to driving to Delaware for errands and appointments. We think a straight run down US 42 to a practice that sees grandparents, parents and kids is hard to beat. One drive can cover a cleaning for a child and a crown check for a grandparent in the same morning.
Dental Health Considerations for Ashley Families
Ashley children attend the Buckeye Valley Local School District, and the younger grades learn right in town at Buckeye Valley East Elementary on East High Street. School-age years are when deep grooves, new molars and crowding first show up. Checkups twice a year let Dr. Vicki spot those changes before they grow into fillings.
Many longtime residents have older fillings, crowns or partials that have served them for decades. Wear and tear on that work is normal, and regular exams catch cracks and loose margins early. Our 3D cone beam imaging gives Dr. Vicki a detailed view of bone and roots when a problem is hard to see on a standard x-ray.
Patients who have lost teeth often ask about implants. Our office restores teeth with crowns, bridges and dentures, and the dental implants learning center explains how implants work and what to consider. That background helps you come to your consultation with clear questions.
Daily care changes with age, too. Partials and dentures need their own cleaning routine, and many common medications leave the mouth dry, which raises the risk of decay along the gumline. Dr. Vicki and our hygienists can suggest simple habits that protect the teeth you have and keep any appliance fitting well.
Sudden problems do not wait for a scheduled checkup. If you are new to the practice and a tooth starts throbbing or breaks, our $89 limited emergency exam and x-ray gives you a focused first look. The offer is for new patients only and cannot be combined with insurance or other discounts.
Restorative and Family Services from a Dentist in Ashley, OH Patients Trust
Restorative Dentistry
Crowns, bridges and fillings rebuild teeth worn down by years of chewing or weakened by older dental work. Dr. Vicki's background in fixed prosthodontics guides how each piece fits and feels.
Digital Removable Dentistry
Dentures and partials designed with digital tools can replace several missing teeth at once. They are a practical choice for residents who want to chew comfortably at the family dinner table again.
General Dentistry
Routine cleanings, exams and x-rays keep Buckeye Valley students and their parents on track. Regular visits also make it easier to schedule follow-up care before a small issue grows.
Sleep Apnea
Loud snoring and restless nights affect the whole household. Dr. Vicki can review whether a dental approach to sleep apnea might be a fit after a medical evaluation.
Thinking about a bigger change, like replacing several teeth or updating an older smile? A comprehensive smile exam maps out the whole picture first, so the work can be done in a sensible order.

What Our Customers Say
Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Pure Smiles from Ashley, and how do I get there?
Our office is roughly 12 miles from Wornstaff Memorial Library, an 18-minute drive. Take High Street (SR 229) west to Franklin Street, then US 42 south into Delaware and W William St (US 36) west across town. Few turns are involved, which helps when you need a dentist in Ashley, OH drivers can reach quickly.
How should Ashley parents care for a toddler's first teeth?
Brush new teeth twice a day with a rice-grain smear of toothpaste, and avoid putting a child to bed with a bottle of milk or juice. For families across northern Delaware County, a first checkup by the first birthday lets Dr. Vicki, who has pediatric dentistry training, check early teeth and coach parents on brushing, teething and snacks.
Is a chipped baby tooth worth fixing for kids in Ashley?
Often, yes, because baby teeth hold space for adult teeth and help children chew and speak. A small chip may only need smoothing, while a deeper break or a tooth that turns dark should be checked with an x-ray. Dr. Vicki's pediatric dentistry training helps her choose the gentlest option for each child.
Do you accept VA referrals for Ashley veterans?
Yes, Pure Smiles accepts VA referrals. Veterans living in and around the village can be seen at our Delaware office once the referral is in place. Our front desk can walk you through the steps and coordinate the paperwork so you can focus on the visit itself.
What can Ashley residents do about a loose or uncomfortable denture?
Book an exam so Dr. Vicki can check the fit, your gums and the bone underneath. Her training covers fixed and removable prosthodontics, and our office offers digitally designed dentures and partials. Depending on what she finds, the answer might be an adjustment or a new appliance.
