Dr. Gant provides a friendly atmosphere and comfortable office for patients of all ages. There is a play area for children, where they can entertain themselves with coloring books, Legos, magnetic boards and electronic toys. As for adults, we have a variety of amenities to make your visit more pleasant. A tooth brushing station, ample samples of the best oral hygiene products recommended (including chewing gum!), cable television in every operatory room, massage units on every dental chair, bottled water and music with headphones just in case you forgot yours at home.
Diagnodent Cavity Detector: This device uses laser technology to detect cavities at their early stages. It is as simple as waving a small flashlight over your teeth and a cavity reading appears on the screen.
Intraoral Camera: This device is a pea-sized camera placed at the tip of a wand. The camera is then placed in front of the desired tooth, takes a picture, and the image is transferred to a large television monitor where it is very easy to view by the patient.
Digital X-rays: A small object called a sensor is placed in the patients mouth. A button is then pushed and a clear image of the patients tooth is immediately ready for viewing on the chair side monitor. This process is quicker, emits significantly less radiation than the older-traditional x-ray technique, and is more environmentally friendly!
Casey Education System: After every dental exam, a treatment plan is formulated by the doctor. It is natural for patients to have questions concerning their treatment. Dr. Gant offers easy to understand educational videos for every possible dental procedure. After viewing the video from the comfort of your dental chair, the staff is available to go over any additional concerns that the patient may have.
Sedation: We understand that some patients may have a little dental anxiety that may deter them from seeing a dentist. Sedation is usually very helpful in this situation. Dr. Gant provides sedation in the form of Nitrous Oxide and or an Oral Supplement. These methods allow the patient to become more comfortable in our dental environment and continue with their care which will lead them on a road to excellent dental health.

Like most children, all three are active in lots of sports and have a natural zest for learning which has fortunately led them to excel in their academics.

Other community service work has included providing dental care and education to the underprivileged in the Greater Columbus and Cleveland areas. These experiences have shaped her approach to providing quality dental care with the patients best interest at heart.
Dr. Gant also enjoys being a member of The Academy of Contemporary Dentistry and The Greater Columbus Society of Contemporary Dentistry. These organizations afford her the opportunity to stay current on continuing education and socialize with professional and business colleagues.
Dr. Gant has always maintained the desire to once again own a private practice close to the community she resides in. She is a woman of sound integrity and character.
