Convenient Access from Ostrander
Pure Smiles sits about 11 minutes east of your village, on the west side of Delaware, Ohio, along the same US 36 that skirts its northern edge. Growing households searching for a dentist in Ostrander, OH get one straight highway and no downtown traffic to deal with. Dr. Vicki cares for toddlers, teens, parents and grandparents in a single office. Checkups, aligners and crowns all happen under one roof.
Leaving the Ostrander Branch Library at 75 North Fourth Street, take Laura Drive and North 4th Street to West North Street, then turn onto North Main Street. Main Street becomes Ostrander Road, which meets US 36, also called Marysville Road. Go east for nearly seven miles, pass the Houk Road junction and turn onto Applegate Lane at 833 W William St, Delaware, OH 43015. The trip covers about 7.7 miles in 11 minutes, and our location is pinned on Google Maps.
The village's tall concrete grain elevator, built by the local farmers exchange in 1948, can be seen from miles away, and Schultz Elementary School sits just down Applegate Lane from our office. Patients to the east can also read our pages for Stratford and Shawnee Hills.
Ostrander's Railroad Roots and a Growing Village
Ostrander is an incorporated village in southwestern Scioto Township, Delaware County, with a mayor and council of its own since 1875. The town grew up around the Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati and Indianapolis Railroad and most likely takes its name from railroad surveyor Shelemiah Ostrander. The trains are long gone, but the trestle over Blues Creek still reminds people of that history. The village's own history page tells the full story.
Today the village calls itself a quiet, growing community. New subdivisions with homeowners associations have taken shape, and the village has held planning hearings for projects such as Grouse Landing. Families gather at Maugans Community Park, where the pavilion was dedicated in 2024.
Many newcomers arrive with young children and are still finding their doctor, pediatrician and dentist. We make that last search easy with one office that handles the whole household. New patients can share records from a previous dentist, and we pick up where that care left off. If nothing has been done in a while, we start fresh with a full exam and a clear plan.
US 36 is the backbone of daily travel here. It links the village with New Dover and Marysville to the west and with the city to the east. Since our office sits right on that same road, an appointment rarely means a detour. You can drop in on the way to work, shopping or a game in town and head home the same way.
Dental Care That Grows with Young Ostrander Families
Parents of little ones often ask when the first dental visit should happen. Earlier is usually better, because a friendly first look builds trust long before any problem shows up. Dr. Vicki's training includes pediatric dentistry, and our hygienists and assistants keep children's visits short and upbeat. Kids learn that a dental chair is simply a place where someone counts their teeth.
School-age children bring a new set of needs. Snacks between classes, sports practice and a busy calendar can all lead to missed brushing and early cavities. Buckeye Valley runs an elementary school right in the village, so those years arrive fast for many local families. Regular cleanings and exams catch small spots before they turn into larger fillings.
By middle school, many parents start thinking about crooked or crowded teeth. Our office uses the iTero scanner, which captures a precise digital model of the teeth without messy impression trays. That scan helps plan clear aligner treatment and shows teens a preview of where their smile is heading. Our general dentistry learning center also answers common questions about checkups, cleanings and home care.
Digital x-rays round out the picture at routine visits. They take only a moment, and the images appear on screen right away so we can review them together. Parents appreciate seeing exactly what we see before any decision is made. Clear information makes it easier to plan treatment around school schedules and family budgets.
Parents tend to put their own care last. Between soccer practice, homework and a new mortgage, a sore molar or a chipped front tooth can wait for months. We encourage moms and dads to book their cleanings during the same visit as the kids, so one trip handles everyone. Taking care of your own smile also sets a good example at home.
Sports and backyard play bring their own risks. A stray elbow on the basketball court or a fall from a bike can crack or loosen a tooth in seconds. If an injury happens, call our office right away and keep any broken piece. Quick attention makes a simple repair far more likely.

What Our Customers Say
Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Pure Smiles from Ostrander, and how do I get there?
Our office is about 7.7 miles from the Ostrander Branch Library, roughly an 11-minute drive. Take North Main Street out of the village to Ostrander Road, then follow US 36 east to Applegate Lane. Families wanting a dentist in Ostrander, OH can make the whole trip without ever driving through downtown Delaware.
Are sealants a good idea for Ostrander kids' back teeth?
For many children, yes. Sealants are thin coatings painted onto the chewing surfaces of back teeth, where deep grooves trap food and plaque. They are usually placed soon after the permanent molars come in. Dr. Vicki's training includes pediatric dentistry, and she can check at a regular exam whether your child's molars would benefit.
When should Ostrander children have their first checkup?
Ideally, a child sees the dentist by the first birthday, and certainly well before starting kindergarten. Early visits are short and relaxed, focused on counting teeth and coaching parents on brushing. A calm first visit with Dr. Vicki, who has pediatric dentistry training, helps children feel at ease long before any treatment is needed.
How do newcomers in Ostrander's new subdivisions become patients?
Simply call our front desk to set up a new patient visit. Bring your insurance card, a list of medications and any recent x-rays from your previous dentist. We are a preferred provider with several major plans, and households without coverage can look at our Healthy Smiles Plan before the first appointment.
Are clear aligners a practical choice for Ostrander teens?
For many teens with crowding or spacing, yes. Trays come out for meals and sports, so a busy schedule of school, practice and part-time work stays manageable. An iTero scan replaces gooey impressions, and the right plan depends on an exam with Dr. Vicki to confirm aligners suit that teen's bite.
