Convenient Access from Shawnee Hills
About 20 minutes up the reservoir road is all it takes to reach Pure Smiles from Shawnee Hills. Our practice sits on the west side of Delaware, Ohio, and many reservoir-area families who need a dentist in Shawnee Hills, OH find the northbound trip refreshingly simple. Dr. Vicki sees patients Monday through Thursday from 8 AM to 5 PM, with care for children, teens and adults.
From the Shawnee Hills Municipal Building at 9484 Dublin Road, follow Dublin Road (SR 745) north past the village's shops and along the west shore of the O'Shaughnessy Reservoir. About 5.5 miles up, after the highway crosses a western arm of the reservoir, it ends at US 42 and SR 257. Stay on that route for roughly 1.7 miles, then turn north on South Section Line Road and continue through a roundabout for about 3 miles. Turn east onto US 36, known here as Marysville Road, and Applegate Lane leads to the office after about 12 miles and 20 minutes in total.
Our address is 833 W William St, Delaware, OH 43015, on the stretch of US 36 where Marysville Road turns into W William St. Use this Google Maps link to load directions before you leave. We also welcome neighbors from Powell across the reservoir and from Lewis Center farther east.
A Reservoir Village Deserves an Easygoing Dental Office
Shawnee Hills began in the 1920s as a resort fishing community on the shores of the newly built O'Shaughnessy Reservoir. Its original plat laid out small lots on a tight, walkable grid, and that compact layout still shapes the village today. Dublin Road serves as the main street, lined with local businesses that run parallel to the shoreline. The O'Shaughnessy Dam, finished in 1925, is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The village describes itself as small, charming and growing. Families who just moved in live beside residents who have watched the place change for decades. Updates on village business appear on the Village of Shawnee Hills website. Our office aims for the same relaxed, neighborly feel.
Daily life here tends to face south toward Dublin for school, shopping and work. Heading north for dental care keeps you on an open stretch of SR 745 instead of busier suburban corridors. It also puts you in front of a dentist who takes time to explain each step.
What Shawnee Hills Residents Should Know Before Their Next Checkup
Students in the village attend Dublin City Schools, moving from Pinney Elementary to Eversole Run Middle and then Dublin Jerome High School. Those years bring growth spurts, new molars and questions about crowding. Regular cleanings and exams help Dr. Vicki follow each change and step in early when something needs attention.
Seeing a problem clearly makes it easier to understand. During exams we use an intraoral camera so you can view the same close-up images Dr. Vicki sees on the screen, and digital x-rays add detail below the surface. Our dental technology page lists the rest of the equipment in the office.
Longtime residents often have dental work that has been in place for many years. Older fillings and crowns can chip or loosen without much warning, so we check them carefully at every visit. When repair is needed, Dr. Vicki lays out several treatment options and the reasons for each, rather than a single take-it-or-leave-it plan.
Time by the reservoir is part of village life, and nobody wants a sore jaw spoiling it. Grinding at night, tired jaws and snoring can quietly undercut that time outdoors. Those concerns are worth raising at your next visit, since a dentist can often spot wear patterns before you notice symptoms.

General Dentistry
Cleanings, exams and x-rays form the routine that keeps Dublin Jerome students and their parents healthy. Dr. Vicki also checks gums, bite and existing dental work so nothing slips through between visits.

What Our Customers Say
Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Pure Smiles from Shawnee Hills, and how do I get there?
The drive covers about 12 miles and takes around 20 minutes from the Shawnee Hills Municipal Building. Go north on Dublin Road (SR 745), follow US 42 and SR 257 briefly, take South Section Line Road north, then turn east on US 36. Families looking for a dentist in Shawnee Hills, OH can make the whole trip without entering downtown Delaware.
Can Shawnee Hills adults straighten their teeth with clear aligners?
Yes, many adults are good candidates for clear aligners, and Dr. Vicki trained in clear aligner orthodontics. The trays are nearly invisible and come out for meals, which suits work and social schedules. Treatment starts with an exam and an iTero scan, and whether aligners fit a particular bite depends on that exam.
Can one dentist care for my kids from their first cleaning through high school?
Yes. Dr. Vicki's background includes pediatric dentistry and clear aligner orthodontics, so she can handle everything from a first cleaning to questions about straightening teeth during the high school years. Families across southern Delaware County like that the same dentist learns each child's history, and parents can book their own visits alongside the kids.
Can dermal fillers be done at a dental office?
Yes, Dr. Vicki's training includes facial rejuvenation and dermal filler treatment. Dentists study the face and mouth closely, and fillers can soften lines around the lips that affect how a smile looks. A consultation covers your goals and medical history, and she can explain how fillers fit alongside cosmetic dental work.

Join our Healthy Smiles Plan, which Pure Smiles created for patients who have no dental insurance.
