Comprehensive Care for a Healthy, Lasting Smile

A healthy smile starts with regular dental exams and cleanings. At Dr. Van Huffel’s office in Gahanna, Ohio, we prioritize your oral health with personalized, gentle care in a welcoming environment.

At Van Huffel DDS, we are committed to providing the highest standard of preventive care by utilizing the latest advancements in dental technology. As the only practice in Central Ohio to offer Guided Biofilm Therapy with the innovative Airflow Prophy Master, we deliver a superior cleaning experience. This cutting-edge device combines air, water, and ultra-fine powder to effectively remove plaque, tartar, and stains while promoting optimal oral health. Guided Biofilm Therapy represents a modern, scientifically proven approach to preventive care, ensuring exceptional results for every patient.

Protect Your Smile with Preventive Dentistry

A healthy, beautiful smile is the result of preventive care. Regular dental exams and cleanings are the foundation of a healthy mouth. During a dental exam, Dr. Van Huffel will gently examine your mouth for signs of cavities, gum disease, and oral cancer. These problems typically do not have symptoms in the early stages. Caught early, we can treat them simply and effectively. If left untreated, they can lead to uncomfortable, painful, and expensive problems.

Your dental cleanings are an essential part of your oral health routine. Even with good at-home hygiene, plaque and tartar can build up on your teeth. Our dental hygienist will use specialized instruments to gently remove the plaque and tartar that can develop in all the nooks and crannies of your mouth. We’ll leave your mouth feeling clean and refreshed.

Regular dental care is not only important for your oral health, but it can also save you money in the long run. Many problems, such as root canal therapy and the need for other dental treatments like dental crowns, dental sealants, and tooth extractions, can be prevented with regular dental exams and cleanings. Preventive care is the key to a healthy and cost-effective smile.

 
What to Expect

During Your Dental Exam

Oral Cancer Screenings

Dr. Van Huffel performs a quick yet thorough screening to identify any unusual sores, lumps, or discolorations that could indicate oral cancer. This proactive measure supports your overall health and peace of mind.

Professional Cleanings

Our professional cleanings are designed to do more than just brighten your smile; they play a critical role in maintaining overall oral health. Our hygienists remove plaque and tartar that regular brushing can’t reach, helping prevent gum disease and tooth decay for a fresh, healthy smile.

Fluoride Treatments for Extra Protection

To finish your cleaning, we apply a fluoride treatment to strengthen your enamel and provide lasting protection against cavities.
