Recently I broke part of a tooth and filling in Tuscany. I emailed them and was able to make an appointment for 2 days after we got back. Dr. Stearn and his team were awesome! Got me in and out with a temporary crown and will have the permanent in 4 days! This is an awesome practice!
This happened last year and it looks like I forgot to hit post🙄

Today was my first appointment at Anthony Dental, but not my first appointment with Dr. Wright. She was my dental student at the OSU clinic, and she was so outstanding that I followed her into private practice. She is a star! I should add that everyone at Anthony Dental is very nice and a pleasure to deal with. Overall a great experience today. Highly recommend. 👍
Back for my second appointment today, and I’m still a big fan of the practice and especially Dr. Wright. 5 stars again! 👍

I love this practice! Everyone is amazing! They listen and don’t push unnecessary procedures. They do not judge at all! Truly care about your oral health and you as a person! Far better than my last dentist! They screen for any oral issues including cancers of the mouth with each visit. Can set up appointments with ease and have always been on time. Very in tune with comfort level to anyone scared of the dentist! Have been to other practices and this one by far is the best I’ve gone to so far in my 40+ years! Corrected mistakes from past dentist and dental health has been way better! Knowledgeable and the fact that they keep up with advancements but also remembers “old school dentistry “ without harm is why they have been and will be my practice of choice for years to come! ❤️

Always pleasant and professional. I’ve been a patient since the late 1970’s when the practice was on the town square. Reasonable prices too if you need more than a cleaning or filling. I highly recommend Anthony Dental.

Hygienist Elysa was quick, competent, yet thorough while working with me this morning. And, the dentist, I didn’t catch her name, was pleasant and also thorough, plus they both accommodated my scheduling dilemma for my
next appointment. Thank you, Anthony Dental.

This dental office was recommended by a friend from my church. My father in law is a dentist and he retired at 82! We were struggling to find a new dentist that wouldn’t force procedures on us.

The oxymoronic phrase “great trip to the dentist” is what Anthony Dental is all about.. Staff is polite, helpful and interested. They integrate technology into the practice in very interesting and patient friendly ways. It must be a great place to work as there is very low staff turnover. I’ve been a patient there since the late 20th century! Need great dental care? Anthony won’t disappoint.
Addendum: six month later 9/24, all of the above still holds true and then some!
Addendum: It is now 4/26. I’ve been there every six months- and the practice keeps improving. Great people. Up to date technology and a very positive atmosphere.

I received a sufficient number of appointment reminders which I found helpful. My appointment started on time, was completed in a reasonable amount of time and received great care. The office is set up and ran efficiently and all staff I interacted with were very professional, helpful and friendly. Scheduling is easy. They are very busy so a rescheduled appointment was pushed out 3 months but I was able get in earlier (1 month) as I opted to be put on their cancellation call list. I am very pleased with the care I received and Anthony Dental Care over all!

Dental hygenist was efficient as well as personable, demonstrating interest in how my day was progressing. Then the dentist came in, checked everything and filed a rough spot on a tooth smooth. No need to come back for another visit.
