About Us
Meet the team and the philosophy behind Blacklick's trusted neighborhood dental home, built on patience, honesty, and genuine care.
Havens Family Dental sits on N Waggoner Rd in Blacklick, Ohio, where we have built our practice around one simple idea: people deserve a dentist who actually listens to them. Dental visits can bring up real anxiety for a lot of folks, whether it is from a past bad experience, a busy schedule, or just not knowing what to expect. We designed our office, our appointments, and our whole approach to take that pressure off.
Our team sees families from toddlers getting their first cleaning to grandparents managing restorations and everything in between. We know your name, your history, and what matters to you - not just your chart number. That kind of continuity lets us catch small issues before they become expensive, uncomfortable problems, and it means you are never starting from scratch when you walk through our door.
Whether you need a routine cleaning, a same-day fix for a toothache, or a longer conversation about a treatment plan, you will find a team here that explains things clearly, respects your budget and your time, and treats you like a neighbor rather than a number on a schedule.
These four commitments shape how we plan treatment, how we communicate, and how we built our Blacklick office from the ground up.
We take time at every visit to understand your health history, your concerns, and your goals before recommending any treatment. No two patients get the same cookie-cutter plan.
Digital X-rays, intraoral cameras, and precise diagnostic tools let us spot problems earlier and explain exactly what we see, in plain language, right on the screen next to you.
From a quiet, warm-toned reception area to gentle chairside explanations before any instrument comes near your mouth, we work to make dental visits feel ordinary instead of dreaded.
Havens Family Dental started with a straightforward goal: give Blacklick and the surrounding Central Ohio communities a dental home where appointments feel unhurried and honest. Our dentists and hygienists keep up with continuing education every year, staying current on everything from restorative materials to the latest approaches in periodontal care, so the treatment recommendations you hear reflect current best practice, not outdated habits.
The office itself was designed with comfort in mind. Treatment rooms are bright and clean, our sterilization protocols follow strict CDC and OSHA guidelines, and we use single-use and properly autoclaved instruments for every patient, every time. We also keep our scheduling flexible enough to work around real life, because we know most people are not thrilled about carving out a weekday afternoon for a filling.
Beyond the clinical side, we try to build real relationships. Many of our patients have been with us for years, bringing in their kids and eventually their grandkids. That kind of trust is not something we take lightly, and it is the reason we keep investing in both our team's training and our facility's equipment.
"Our mission has never changed since we opened our doors: treat every patient the way we would want our own families treated. That means honest answers, no pressure, and care that actually fits your life."
The Havens Family Dental Team
Blacklick, Ohio
A handful of practical differences separate a good dental visit from a frustrating one. Here is what you can expect from us.
A toothache does not wait for a convenient day, so we reserve time in our schedule for urgent calls and same-day appointments whenever we can.
Low-radiation digital X-rays give us a clearer, faster picture of your oral health, with less waiting and less exposure than older film systems.
Before any treatment begins, we walk you through the cost, the timeline, and your options, so there are no surprises on your statement later.
Early morning and weekday afternoon slots make it easier to bring in multiple family members without taking a whole day off work or school.
Our Blacklick office is designed to feel more like a calm, clean living room than a clinic, with warm lighting and private treatment rooms.
We will tell you when a treatment can wait and when it should not. You will never leave our office feeling talked into something you did not need.
Common questions new patients ask before their first visit to our Blacklick office.
Please bring a photo ID, your insurance card if you have dental coverage, and a list of any current medications. If you have had X-rays taken elsewhere within the past year, let us know ahead of time so we can request copies and avoid repeating them.
We work with most major PPO dental insurance plans and will verify your benefits before treatment so you know what is covered. For patients without insurance, our front desk can walk you through flexible payment arrangements, including options for larger treatment plans.
Yes. We have free, well-lit parking right outside our Blacklick office at 1582 N Waggoner Rd Ste b, with a level walkway and accessible entrance for strollers, wheelchairs, and anyone who needs a little extra room getting inside.
Most patients do well with a cleaning and exam every six months, which helps us catch cavities, gum issues, and wear patterns early. If you have a history of gum disease or higher cavity risk, we may recommend visits every three to four months instead.
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a first visit by age one, or within six months of the first tooth coming in. Early visits are short, gentle, and mostly about getting your child comfortable in the chair before any real treatment is needed.
We keep room in our daily schedule for dental emergencies and will do our best to see you the same day you call. Please call our office directly as soon as pain or swelling starts rather than waiting, so we can get you relief as quickly as possible.
You can book online anytime through our scheduling link, or call our office directly at 614-762-2737 during business hours. If you need to reschedule, we simply ask for as much notice as possible so we can offer that slot to another patient.
