Convenient Access from Arlington
One road links Arlington to our front door: US 68, about 17 minutes north. Pure Smiles practices in downtown Findlay, and for anyone weighing a dentist in Arlington, OH against a longer drive elsewhere, that single straight shot is hard to beat. You leave Main Street, stay on the same highway and turn once at the end.
Begin at the village's branch library at 232 North Main Street, where Main is US 68. Drive north out of the village on US 68 until you reach the roundabout at the south edge of Findlay. Continue north as the highway becomes South Main Street, pass through the courthouse district and turn left onto West Crawford Street.
The trip is about 10 miles and takes roughly 17 minutes, a bit longer at rush hour. You will find us at 223 W Crawford St, Findlay, OH 45840, a short walk from the Marathon Center for the Performing Arts and the Hancock Historical Museum. Save the office on Google Maps for the first visit. Neighbors in Mount Blanchard and Rawson come to us from the south as well.
Flag Village Families, One Findlay Dental Team
Arlington calls itself Flag Village USA, a small town with big pride. The village sits in Madison Township, Hancock County, and its center runs along Main Street from the library to the pool and the ball fields. Summer brings a two-day homecoming festival every July.
Life here often circles around one building. Arlington Local School serves kindergarten through grade 12 under a single roof on South Main Street, so siblings of very different ages share the same bus routes and bell schedule. A dental office that can see all of them, plus their parents, keeps the logistics simple.
Pure Smiles fits that need with four dentists and a full range of care in one location. Our hours run 8 AM to 5 PM Monday through Wednesday and 8 AM to 4 PM on Thursday. Because the drive stays on one highway, the trip home after a late-afternoon visit is easy to plan.
Parents who already commute up US 68 for work can book their own visit near the start of the day. The office is only a few blocks off South Main Street, so there is little extra driving once you reach downtown.
Our aim is to keep dental care from crowding out the routines that make small-town life good: storytime at the branch library, an afternoon at the pool on North Main Street or a game at the village ball fields. Short, well-planned visits make that easier.
Dental Priorities for Arlington Households
A K-12 school in one building means a wide spread of ages in most homes. Younger children are working through baby teeth and first molars, while high school students start caring about how their smile looks in senior photos. Adults, meanwhile, may be dealing with an old filling that finally cracked or a tooth that has been missing for years.
We plan around all three stages. For kids, the focus is regular cleanings, early detection and building good habits at home. For teens and adults who want straighter teeth, our iTero scanner creates a digital model of the teeth, which makes planning clear aligners more comfortable than a traditional impression.
For adults replacing a lost tooth, an implant topped with one of our dental implant crowns restores chewing and fills the gap without touching the neighboring teeth. Dr. Chad Ollom, a Midwest Implant Institute fellow, places implants in our Findlay office, so the whole process stays close to home.
Gum health is the quiet part of the picture. Bleeding when you brush or floss is easy to ignore, yet it is often an early sign of gum disease. Regular cleanings let us catch it while it is still simple to manage, which protects the teeth you already have.
If you are thinking about a broader change, our comprehensive smile exam is a good first step. It gives you a clear picture of your options before you commit to anything.
What a Dentist in Arlington, OH Families Choose Can Offer
General Dentistry
Checkups, cleanings, x-rays and fillings are the backbone of every family plan. Booking several Red Devils siblings together can mean one trip up US 68 covers the household.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic care can brighten, reshape or even out a smile for adults and older teens. We start with what bothers you most and build a plan from there.
Invisalign®
Clear aligners straighten teeth without brackets or wires. Many patients like that they can remove them for meals, sports and band practice.
Endodontics
A deep cavity or cracked tooth can reach the nerve. Root canal treatment removes the infected tissue and lets you keep your natural tooth instead of losing it.
Early Dental Care
The youngest patients get gentle, short visits that build trust. Starting early helps kids from kindergarten on treat the dentist as a normal part of growing up.
A first visit usually begins with a conversation about what you want from your care, followed by a full exam and digital x-rays. We then explain, in plain language, what looks healthy, what needs watching and what needs attention now. Treatment can be spread out in an order that suits your budget and your calendar, and nothing starts until you say yes.

What Our Customers Say
Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Pure Smiles from Arlington, and how do I get there?
We are about 10 miles from the branch library on North Main Street, roughly a 17-minute drive. Head north on US 68, go through the roundabout at the south edge of Findlay and stay on South Main Street, then turn left on West Crawford Street. For patients who want a dentist in Arlington, OH with that little navigation, it is about as easy as directions get.
Can an Arlington senior brighten their smile before senior pictures?
Often, yes, as long as there is enough time to plan. A comprehensive smile exam is the best first step, because the dentist reviews teeth, gums and bite before suggesting cosmetic options. Starting well ahead of photo day leaves room to choose the approach that fits, rather than rushing into one.
Can Arlington patients with a cracked tooth avoid losing it?
Often, yes, if the crack is found early. The doctors use an intraoral camera and digital x-rays to see how deep it runs. A crack that reaches the nerve may need endodontic treatment before the tooth is protected, while a split below the gumline usually means removal and a replacement such as an implant crown.
Should Arlington students get a dental checkup during summer break?
Yes, summer is a practical time for cleanings, since students miss no class and any problems can be treated before the school year starts. The doctors also check how adult teeth are coming in. Booking a few weeks ahead helps, because summer weekdays fill quickly once families start planning around vacations.
Is Arlington far enough that I should plan a full afternoon for one visit?
No, most visits do not need a full afternoon. The drive each way is roughly 17 minutes, and a routine cleaning and exam fits easily into a normal appointment block. Longer treatment, such as an implant or root canal, takes more chair time, and we tell you the expected length when you book.
