Prashanthi Vadhi, D.D.S. Patient education is a hot topic in modern dentistry, but for Dr. Prashanthi Vadhi—nominated as a topDentist in Ohio annually since 2011—it’s so much more. “We are committed to providing excellent dental care blended with compassion for every patient,” she says. “I take into account my patient’s needs, as well as their likes. This allows me to provide appropriate dental care that meets and exceeds their expectations.” Vadhi’s approach builds lasting trust with her patients; in fact, she has many patients that travel back to Columbus for dental care after leaving the city. Vadhi’s office provides comprehensive and surgical care, including sinus augmentation, endodontics (root canals), osseous surgery, whitening, Invisalign, Six Month Smile, same-day crowns, veneers, cosmetic bonding, crowns and bridges. Vadhi is certified to administer Botox for both cosmetic and dental procedures, like treating TMJ and clenching issues. She’s also certified
to administer Juvéderm to smooth fine lines and wrinkles. In September, Vadhi and her team moved to their current location to accommodate doctors Jerry Urell and Penny Dietz joining her dental practice; this allows patients to receive more in-house treatments for a variety of services. “The patients that we used to send out for a root canal or an extraction or an implant, they may have been hesitant to do it because it’s out of their comfort zone,” says operations manager Jane Meng. “But having everything within just one office, they’re more comfortable with having something done.” An oral surgeon will soon join the team as well, to administer sedation and wisdom tooth extraction services. The office also has a full-time bilingual receptionist, who acts as an interpreter for patients who only speak Spanish. “There’s a language barrier,” says Meng. “So we wanted to be able to reach out to everybody that we could.”
