Lakes, Trails and Subdivisions Across Genoa Township

Genoa Township is a township in the southeastern part of Delaware County, not a city or village. Organized in 1816, it took its name from Genoa, Italy, the birthplace of Christopher Columbus. Decades ago the City of Westerville annexed much of its southern end, so the township office still uses a Westerville mailing address.

Most homes sit in subdivisions, and the Highland Lakes and Medallion golf-course communities make up a large share of the developed south. The northern half stays largely rural, and Hoover Reservoir, created by damming Big Walnut Creek, covers a large part of the township. Boating and fishing are allowed on the reservoir, while the surrounding city-owned land keeps open space at Hoover Meadows and Mud Hen Marsh.

Trails tie much of it together. The 4-mile Genoa Trail runs beside SR 3 on a former rail line and forms part of both the Ohio to Erie Trail and the Great American Rail Trail. Center Green Park adds a catch-and-release pond and a Little Free Library by the gazebo, and the township website keeps park and trail details current.

For households like these, one office that handles a child's cleaning, a set of braces and an implant crown keeps scheduling simple. Our day starts at 8 AM Monday through Thursday, ends at 5 PM Monday through Wednesday and 4 PM on Thursday, and Friday visits are set by appointment.

School-Year Dental Planning for Genoa Township Families

Depending on the street, children in the township attend Big Walnut, Olentangy or Westerville City schools. Alcott, Fouse and Walnut Creek elementaries and Genoa Middle School all sit inside its borders. Early appointments before the first bell help students miss as little class as possible.

The township has no library of its own; residents' taxes support the Delaware County District Library, the Sunbury Community Library and the Westerville Public Library instead. Genoa Township Police also place school resource officers at Westerville Central High School and Genoa Middle School. Those ties show how closely daily life here already runs toward Westerville, which makes a dental office down the road a natural fit.

The preteen and middle school years are when many families start thinking about orthodontics. We offer both traditional braces and clear aligners, and a consultation shows which approach fits a child's bite. Sealants on the back molars and custom mouth guards for school sports round out the preventive side.

Curodont gives our dentists another option for very early cavities in children and adults. It helps repair the first signs of enamel decay without drilling, so a small spot found at a checkup can sometimes be treated before it needs a filling.

Parents and grandparents have their own needs, from gum care to replacing missing teeth. If an implant is on the table, our dental implant cost page explains what affects the price, and new patients can book a free dental implant consultation to get a personal estimate.

What a Dentist Near Genoa Township Offers Your Family

• Orthodontics

  Braces and clear aligners straighten teeth for teens and adults. Parents can bring a middle schooler and ask about their own crowding at the same consultation.

• General Dentistry

  Regular cleanings, x-rays and exams catch decay early, and sealants protect children's molars. Oral cancer screenings are part of every adult checkup.

• Dental Implants

  An implant replaces a missing tooth with a post anchored in the jawbone, topped by a crown, bridge or denture. 3D cone beam imaging helps plan placement around nerves and bone.

• Periodontal Treatment

  Bleeding gums are often the first sign of gum disease. Early gingivitis usually responds to better home care, while periodontitis calls for treatment in the office.

• Sedation Dentistry

  Nitrous oxide, conscious sedation and IV sedation help anxious patients relax. Longer implant or extraction visits are often easier with a deeper level of sedation.

Whatever brings you in, the first step is an exam with digital x-rays. From there your dentist lays out what is urgent, what can wait and what each option costs, so a family can plan treatment around school calendars and budgets.

For adults missing most or all of their teeth, full-arch implant bridges are an alternative to a removable denture. Four to six implants hold a complete arch of teeth in place, which restores chewing strength and ends the need for adhesives. Dr. Chad Ollom places these restorations and can review whether bone grafting would be needed first.
