Ohio State Dental Faculty Practice

The Ohio State Dental Faculty Practice is a key component of The Ohio State University College of Dentistry, providing patient care services to the public. Unlike the student or resident clinics, this practice is staffed by experienced, licensed faculty dentists and dental hygienists who also hold teaching positions at the College of Dentistry. This unique structure ensures that patients receive care informed by the latest research and best practices in dentistry, benefitting from the collective expertise available within a top university setting. The clinic offers a comprehensive range of dental services, covering virtually every area of oral healthcare. These services include, but are not limited to, general dentistry (cleanings, exams, fillings), cosmetic dentistry, crowns and bridges, dentures and partials, dental implant restorations, emergency dental care, extractions, root canals (endodontics), periodontics (gum treatment), pediatric dentistry, orthodontics (braces and Invisalign), and specialized services like dental oncology, dental sleep medicine, and treatment for TMJ disorders. They also provide advanced imaging, including Cone-Beam CT imaging. The Ohio State Dental Faculty Practice operates with a patient-centric approach, aiming to provide high-quality, affordable dental services for patients of all ages and backgrounds. They accept various insurance plans, including Delta Dental, and state-sponsored plans like Medicaid, CareSource, Molina, United Healthcare Community Plan, My Care Aetna, and Paramount. For out-of-network insurance, they will submit claims for reimbursement. Payment options also include cash, check, debit/credit cards, Health Savings Accounts (HSA), Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA), and Care Credit. As part of a leading academic institution, the practice also contributes to the educational and research mission of the College of Dentistry, though patient care is directly provided by the faculty rather than students in this specific clinic. This integration allows for a collaborative environment where dentists can consult with specialists across various disciplines, offering a depth of talent and comprehensive treatment planning. The facility itself is state-of-the-art, located at 305 W 12th Ave, Columbus, OH 43210.
