This commitment is reflected in their recognition as an LGBTQ+ owned business and their active sponsorship of Columbus Pride and other LGBTQ+ organizations.
The clinic offers a comprehensive range of dental services, including routine exams and cleanings, digital X-rays (with lower radiation exposure), fillings, crowns and bridgework, porcelain veneers, professional teeth whitening (including a "Whitening for Life" program for eligible new patients), and Invisalign clear aligners. They prioritize transparent communication, explaining all treatment options and costs upfront. Splendental is particularly known for its gentle approach, accommodating patients with dental anxiety and those with sensory sensitivities, drawing on Dr. Nartker's own experience with childhood dental anxiety.
Patients consistently praise Splendental for its welcoming atmosphere, the knowledgeable and kind staff, and Dr. Nartker's empathetic and honest care.
