Convenient Access from Reynoldsburg
Broad Street runs almost the whole way, so a dentist in Reynoldsburg, OH doesn't have to mean fighting freeway traffic. Pure Smiles sits on East Broad Street in Pataskala, about 15 minutes east of the city offices on Main Street. Our three doctors cover checkups, gum care, implants and urgent visits, with sedation available for patients who need it.
Begin at 7232 E Main St, the city's contact address beside John F. Kennedy Park, and drive east on Main Street (US 40). Turn onto Waggoner Road for a short hop, then swing east onto East Broad Street (SR 16) for one straight run as Broad Street enters Pataskala, passes the Pataskala Public Library and reaches our office at 186 E Broad St, Pataskala, OH 43062. Count on 9.3 miles and roughly 15 minutes, and save our location on Google Maps for the first trip.
Patients from Whitehall and Summit Station use the same Broad Street corridor. Just past the point where South Main Street ends at Broad, look for our building on East Broad a few hundred yards ahead.
Why Suburban Families Head East on Broad Street
Reynoldsburg is a full city on the east side of the Columbus metro, with its city offices in Franklin County and neighborhoods spread on both sides of Main Street and Broad Street. Many households juggle two commutes, school pickups and youth sports, so a dental office reached by one familiar road removes a lot of friction.
We see a wide range of patients from the suburbs west of us, and each group brings different priorities. Young parents bring toddlers for first visits, working adults come in for crowns and cleanings, and older patients ask about replacing missing teeth. Having general, gum, implant and emergency care in one building means fewer handoffs to outside offices.
The City of Reynoldsburg proudly calls itself the Birthplace of the Tomato, a nod to Alexander W. Livingston and his Paragon tomato. His home on Graham Road, now the Livingston House and Museum, is listed on the National Register. That deep-rooted local pride shows up in our patients too, many of whom have lived in the same neighborhood for decades.
Oral Health Priorities for Reynoldsburg Households
Families with students in Reynoldsburg City Schools often schedule cleanings around school breaks and sports seasons. Six-month visits catch cavities early, and our hygienists coach kids on brushing technique long before braces or wisdom teeth enter the picture. Regular oral hygiene guidance pays off for adults as well, especially around older fillings and crowns.
Free time often leads outdoors. Blacklick Woods Metro Park on East Livingston Avenue covers 652 acres with a beech-maple forest, a nature center, a golf course and its Canopy Walk. The Blacklick Creek Greenway, a 16-mile paved trail, links Metro Parks from the city south toward Groveport. Bike falls and trail mishaps sometimes end with a chipped or loosened tooth, and a quick exam protects the root.
Adults in their forties, fifties and beyond face a different set of concerns. Gum disease, cracked molars and missing teeth tend to build slowly, often without much pain. Catching bone loss or a failing crown early keeps the repair smaller and the cost lower, which is why we encourage steady checkups even when everything feels fine.
Shift workers and parents with packed calendars sometimes let a cracked tooth or a sore spot slide for months. Our Monday through Thursday hours start at 8 AM, so an early visit can wrap up before a late shift or a school run. When a problem does turn urgent, calling first thing in the morning gives our front desk the best chance to fit you in quickly.
What We Offer If You’re Weighing a Dentist in Reynoldsburg, OH
Dental Implants
Implants replace a single tooth, several teeth or a full arch with a stable result. Our 3D cone beam imaging lets the doctor study bone height and nerve position before placement. Bone and tissue grafting, sinus augmentation and implant dentures are handled here as well.
Periodontics
Gum disease is a leading reason adults lose teeth, and early stages rarely hurt. Deep cleanings and regular maintenance visits help stop the damage. Uninsured patients can join our Perio Care Plan to keep that care on schedule.
General Dentistry
Checkups, cleanings, fillings and crowns keep suburban families on track from preschool through retirement. Digital x-rays help us spot decay between teeth. One office for every family member means one calendar to manage.
Sedation Dentistry
Nitrous oxide, oral sedation and IV sedation help anxious patients finish needed treatment. Longer procedures, such as extractions or implant surgery, can feel far more manageable with sedation. We review your health history carefully before choosing a level.
Emergency Care
A swollen jaw or a broken tooth needs attention quickly, not weeks from now. New patients can use our $49 Limited Emergency Exam & X-Ray, which can't be combined with other offers. We find the source of the problem and outline next steps.

What Our Customers Say
Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Pure Smiles from Reynoldsburg, and how do I get there?
We are 9.3 miles from the city offices at 7232 E Main St, about a 15-minute drive. The route uses Main Street (US 40) and Waggoner Road, then follows Broad Street (SR 16) east into Pataskala. For anyone weighing a dentist in Reynoldsburg, OH against our office, Broad Street avoids the freeway entirely.
Do Reynoldsburg patients need dental insurance to be seen?
No, patients without insurance are welcome. The office accepts cash, checks, Visa, Mastercard and Discover, and the Healthy Smiles Plan is an in-house option for routine care without coverage. For larger treatment, financing through Cherry, Sunbit or CareCredit can spread payments over time, and the front desk can review costs before work begins.
What can Reynoldsburg patients do about a cracked or worn-down tooth?
A crown is usually the fix for a tooth that is cracked or badly worn. It covers and protects what remains so the tooth can keep chewing normally. Dr. Kunning Li handles crowns, bridges and root canals, and an iTero digital scan replaces messy impressions. If a crack reaches the nerve, a root canal may come first.
Can I replace a missing tooth without a specialist referral?
In most cases, yes. Dr. Chad Ollom completed a Midwest Implant Institute fellowship and places implants in our office, including grafting when bone is thin. An implant consultation with 3D cone beam imaging shows whether you are a good candidate, so most patients can stay with one team from planning through the final crown.
Is IV sedation available for nervous patients from the east side?
Yes, IV sedation is available, along with nitrous oxide and oral sedation. Dr. Chad Ollom is a certified IV conscious sedation provider, and Dr. Kunning Li is also trained in IV sedation. Patients choosing IV sedation need a responsible adult to drive them home, so plan the ride before your appointment day.
