Convenient Access from Lewis Center
A straight 17-minute run up US 23 connects the Orange Township library to Pure Smiles in Delaware, Ohio. Parents in newer subdivisions who want a dentist near Lewis Center can trade the crowded roads around Polaris for an easy northbound drive. Dr. Vicki and our hygienists and assistants care for every age, from a preschooler's first cleaning to a grandparent's new denture. We see patients Monday through Thursday, 8 AM to 5 PM.
Leave the Orange Branch Library at 7171 Gooding Blvd and follow Gooding Boulevard to Corduroy Road, which takes you to US 23, also called Columbus Pike. Head north and stay on US 23 for most of the trip, then take the US 42 ramp into Delaware, where it lands you on East William Street. Turn west, cross Sandusky Street in the middle of downtown and continue on West William Street, which carries US 36, to 833 W William St, Delaware, OH 43015. All told, the trip covers roughly 10.4 miles and takes about 17 minutes.
Near the end, OhioHealth Grady Memorial Hospital sits a few blocks northeast of our office, and Blue Limestone Park lies about three-quarters of a mile east.

Built for Busy Lewis Center Households
Lewis Center began around 1850 as a railroad stop on land given by the Lewis family. For a long stretch its post office used the spelling "Lewis Centre," and the modern spelling arrived in 1893. Since 2000 the community has grown into a true Columbus suburb, with developments such as Evans Farm adding many new homes. Today it is an unincorporated community within Orange Township, Delaware County.
Orange Township calls itself the gateway to Delaware County, and it describes neighborhoods built around families, with spacious lots and big yards. Neighborhoods such as Walker Wood, Glen Oak, Oak Creek and Olentangy Meadows fill much of the map. Many of those households juggle practices, lessons and two work calendars. A dental office that can see parents and children on nearby schedules saves real time.
We try to keep every visit efficient. Booking siblings in neighboring time slots turns two separate trips into one, and setting the next cleaning before you walk out keeps everyone on a steady rhythm. Coming north rather than south also means you skip the busy retail stretch around Polaris.
Healthy Habits for Families in Fast-Growing Lewis Center
Most children in the area attend the Olentangy Local School District, whose offices are on Graphics Way. School years bring sports, braces questions and plenty of sugary snacks between activities. A checkup each summer and again over winter break keeps small cavities from becoming bigger repairs. It also gives Dr. Vicki a chance to watch how adult teeth are coming in.
Early decay does not always need a drill. Our office offers Curodont™, which helps repair early decay without drilling when trouble is caught in time. Regular exams make that kind of early catch possible. Parents appreciate any visit that ends without a numb lip.
Outdoor time is part of the appeal here. North Orange Park has an outdoor aquatic center for township residents, Glen Oak Park offers a sledding hill and skating pond, and McCammon Creek Park is home to the reconstructed Delaware County Bicentennial Barn. Orange Township also maintains miles of multi-use paths that connect neighborhoods. Bikes, skates and sleds all come with the occasional chipped front tooth, and a quick repair keeps a smile looking whole.
Summer weekends often lead east to the Alum Creek State Park beach on Lewis Center Road, the largest inland beach in Ohio's state park system. Long afternoons on the sand tend to come with sweet snacks and sugary drinks sipped for hours. Brushing once everyone gets home, and saving treats for mealtimes, gives enamel a break. Our hygienists can suggest simple routines that hold up on vacation days, too.
Parents need care too. Years of stress can show up as clenching, worn edges or a sore jaw in the morning. Adults who have lost a tooth often wonder about replacement options, and our Dental Implants Learning Center explains the basics. At Pure Smiles, Dr. Vicki restores teeth with crowns, bridges and dentures that fit your bite.

What Our Customers Say
Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Pure Smiles from Lewis Center, and how do I get there?
Expect about 10.4 miles and roughly 17 minutes from the Orange Branch Library to our office. Gooding Boulevard and Corduroy Road lead to US 23 north, then the US 42 ramp brings you onto William Street in Delaware. Families who want a dentist near Lewis Center spend nearly the whole drive on one highway.
When should Lewis Center kids have their bite checked for orthodontic problems?
Around age seven is a good time for a first look at how the bite is developing. Dr. Vicki's training includes pediatric dentistry and clear aligner orthodontics, so she can spot crowding or bite issues during a regular checkup. Many children won't need treatment yet, but an early look helps families plan ahead.
What is an iTero scan, and does it replace impressions?
Yes, an iTero scan is a digital 3D image of your teeth that takes the place of messy putty impressions for many treatments. A small wand captures the teeth in a few minutes, and the image appears on screen right away. Pure Smiles uses it to plan clear aligners, crowns and other restorations with an accurate fit.
Does rush hour on US 23 change the drive from Lewis Center?
Yes, weekday rush hour can add time along US 23, though the route itself stays simple. A midmorning or early afternoon visit can help you miss the heaviest traffic. Our Monday through Thursday hours, 8 AM to 5 PM, give you several windows to choose from.
Should Lewis Center students get a checkup before fall sports start?
Yes, late summer is a good time for a cleaning and exam before practices and games fill the calendar. The visit catches cavities while they are small and is a chance to talk about protecting teeth during contact sports. The office is open Monday through Thursday from 8 AM to 5 PM, so booking early gives more choices.
