Buckeye Pediatric Dentistry

Buckeye Pediatric dentistry is a well-established pediatric Dental clinic with locations in Reynoldsburg and Columbus, Ohio, specifically at 2000 Brice Rd, Reynoldsburg, OH 43068. The practice is dedicated to providing comprehensive and compassionate oral healthcare for infants, children, and adolescents, from the eruption of their first tooth through early adulthood, including those with special healthcare needs. The clinic is known for its warm and caring environment, designed to make dental visits comfortable and anxiety-free for young patients. They achieve this through various amenities, such as a child play area, background music, blankets, and even a therapy dog (coming soon). The staff, including featured dentists like Dr. Lucia Gerstmann and Dr. Marlina Shah, are highly experienced in pediatric dentistry and are trained in "behavior management" techniques to help children feel safe and confident. Dr. Lucia Gerstmann, a past president of the Ohio Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, is particularly noted for her ability to put patients at ease. Buckeye Pediatric Dentistry offers a wide range of services, including: Preventive dentistry: This encompasses comprehensive exams, digital and panoramic X-rays, professional teeth cleanings, dental hygiene education, gum care, fluoride treatments, and dental sealants. They emphasize the importance of regular check-ups for long-term oral and overall health. Restorative Dentistry: Services include fillings (using tooth-colored composite materials), stainless-steel crowns, and other procedures to address cavities and restore damaged teeth. Emergency Dentistry: They provide prompt diagnosis and treatment for various dental emergencies in children, such as toothaches, knocked-out teeth, broken or chipped teeth, dental trauma, and dental infections. Sedation dentistry: For children who experience anxiety or fear during dental procedures, they offer in-office sedation options to help them relax and feel more comfortable. Infant oral health: They adhere to PDA recommendations, encouraging a child's first dental visit around their first birthday to establish healthy habits early on. The clinic also strives to make dentistry affordable by accepting various dental insurance plans, including Delta, MetLife, and Cigna, and offering financing options like Cherry Financial Payment Plan, Little Buckeye Plan, and CareCredit. They do not accept Molina, Care Source, or Medicaid at this time. The facility itself is a 4,500 sq ft, low-sensory environment, equipped with modern technology like digital X-rays to ensure precise and gentle care. Patient reviews consistently highlight the friendly, efficient, and caring nature of the staff and doctors, emphasizing their ability to create positive dental experiences for children.
