Convenient Access from Worthington
Brick sidewalks still lead to the Village Green that settlers laid out in 1803, when this became one of the Midwest's first planned communities. If you want a dentist in Worthington, OH patients can reach without a tangle of turns, Pure Smiles in Westerville is about 14 minutes east on a single state route. Our dentists focus heavily on restorative care, from crowns and gum treatment to implants that replace teeth lost years ago.
From the Village Green, where High Street (US 23) meets Dublin-Granville Road, head east on SR 161. The road becomes the Northeast Expressway after it crosses I-270, and you leave it at the Sunbury Road exit. Turn north on Sunbury Road and continue to the Dempsey Road junction. From the green it is 7.6 miles, close to 14 minutes behind the wheel, with a bit more during the afternoon rush.
Along the way you trade the historic storefronts of Old Worthington for the open interchange at I-270, then Big Walnut Creek, which runs just south of our building. We are at 1245 S Sunbury Rd #201, Westerville, OH 43081, about 0.7 miles east of the Blendon Township Senior Center. See the office on Google Maps for a preview. Neighbors in Sharon Woods and Northland make a similar trip from just east of town.
From the Village Green to Our Chair
This Franklin County city keeps its New England roots close: a central green, original commercial buildings and churches, and a street grid laid out more than two centuries ago. Together with Riverlea, it forms an enclave inside Columbus, with Dublin to the north and Westerville to the east. As a long-established community, it is home to plenty of adults whose dental histories include older crowns, bridges and fillings that need periodic attention.
That history is exactly why a restorative-minded office makes sense. Our team can look at a mouth full of past work and decide what still serves you well and what is due for replacement. Instead of patching one tooth at a time, the dentist can map out a long-term plan that keeps the bite balanced.
The office keeps weekday hours: 8 AM to 5 PM Monday through Wednesday and 8 AM to 4 PM on Thursday, with Fridays by appointment. For anyone who lives near the green, a morning appointment means you can be back on High Street in time for lunch.
Life outside the office keeps people moving here. The city maintains more than 200 acres of parkland, including the Village Green Arboretum and McCord Park, and the Olentangy Parklands add over two miles of multi-use trail along the river. The Worthington Community Center on East Wilson Bridge Road serves as the recreation hub. Active people want teeth that keep up with them, so they can eat what they like and smile without thinking twice.
Restorative Priorities for Established Worthington Households
Teeth that have worked hard for fifty or sixty years tell their own story. Old silver fillings crack, gum lines recede, and a missing back tooth slowly lets its neighbors drift. These are not emergencies at first, yet they add up, and the best time to deal with them is while there are still plenty of options.
Planning starts with clear images. Our 3D cone beam imaging shows bone height, nerve position and sinus location in three dimensions, which matters for implants and grafting. With that view, the dentist can tell you whether a single implant, a bridge or a full-arch solution fits your mouth. Patients facing several missing teeth often read about fixed new teeth on a full arch before they book.
Gum health matters just as much. Gum disease often develops quietly, and it can loosen teeth that are otherwise sound. Regular periodontal maintenance protects the investment you have already made in crowns and bridges. Our Perio Care Plan gives patients without insurance a structured way to stay on top of that care.
For those who already wear a removable denture, implant dentures can change daily life. A few implants anchor the denture so it no longer slides when you bite into an apple or laugh at dinner. Patients who have managed a loose denture for years often notice right away how much steadier chewing becomes. The free consultation is the easiest way to learn whether your jawbone can support that option.
Sleep is part of the picture, too. Snoring and daytime fatigue sometimes trace back to a narrowed airway during sleep, and a dentist can be part of the treatment team. If a partner has mentioned your snoring, it is worth raising at your next exam.
Restorative and Preventive Care for Those Seeking a Dentist in Worthington, OH
Dental Implants
Implants replace single teeth, several teeth or a whole arch. Our team also performs the bone and tissue grafting some patients need first.
CEREC Crowns
CEREC crowns are designed digitally with CAD/CAM technology. They are a good match for older fillings that have finally cracked or worn thin.
Periodontal Treatment
Deep cleanings and ongoing gum maintenance slow bone loss around the teeth. Healthy gums help crowns, bridges and implants last longer.
Sleep Apnea
Loud snoring and constant tiredness deserve a closer look. The dentist reviews your symptoms and explains the treatment options available here.
General Dentistry
Exams, cleanings and x-rays keep everything else on track. Regular visits catch small changes in older dental work before they turn into bigger repairs.
Longer restorative visits, such as implant placement or several crowns at once, can feel like a lot to sit through. Nitrous oxide helps with lighter nerves, and conscious sedation is available for more involved procedures. Grouping work into fewer, longer appointments also suits Worthington patients who would rather make the drive once instead of four separate times.
Meet Your Westerville Dentists
Complex restorative cases at our office often land with Dr. Chad Ollom. Because he is a certified IV conscious sedation provider, he can complete grafting, sinus augmentation and implant placement while a patient is sedated. Dr. Alexandria Wenig contributes prosthodontic experience, which helps when a plan calls for crowns, bridges and dentures to work together.
Insurance & Financing
Our office accepts most PPO plans, Assurant, Connection Dental, United Concordia and Tricare among them. The team prices treatment ahead of time and handles claim filing for you. For bigger restorative plans, CareCredit and Proceed Finance offer monthly payment options.
What Our Customers Say
Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Pure Smiles from Worthington, and how do I get there?
From the Village Green it is 7.6 miles to our office, about 14 minutes of driving. Take Dublin-Granville Road (SR 161) east onto the Northeast Expressway, exit at Sunbury Road and go north. Anyone seeking a dentist in Worthington, OH can make the whole trip on one state route plus a short final stretch.
Do Worthington adults need x-rays at every checkup?
No, Worthington patients have x-rays on a schedule that fits their own risk, not at every visit. Someone with frequent cavities may need them more often than a patient with healthy teeth and gums. Digital x-rays use a low dose of radiation and show decay between teeth that an exam alone cannot see.
Can a dark or gray front tooth be a sign of a problem?
Yes, a single tooth that turns gray or dark can mean the nerve inside was injured, often after an old bump. It may not hurt, but it should be checked with an exam and x-rays. If the nerve is damaged, a root canal can save the tooth, and its color can then be improved with cosmetic care.
Can residents without dental insurance keep up with gum care?
Yes, through our Perio Care Plan, which is built for patients who need ongoing gum maintenance and do not have coverage. It keeps periodontal visits on a regular rhythm instead of waiting for problems. Patients who also want financing for larger work can apply through CareCredit or Proceed Finance during the same visit.
Do I need a 3D scan before an implant consultation?
Not before you book, but a scan is usually part of planning. Our 3D cone beam imaging shows bone volume and the position of nerves and sinuses. New patients can start with a free dental implant consultation, and the dentist decides at that visit whether a scan is needed to plan treatment safely.
