I am married to my husband, Bryan, and we have a 2.5-year-old son, Parker, a puggle, Anna, and a baby girl due Feb 2018. I grew up in Westerville, OH and didnt realize I wanted to pursue dentistry until my senior year of college. During the application process, Bryan and I moved to Chicago where I completed my MBA. I completed my doctorate of dental medicine in Arizona and loved it so much; we stayed so I could practice in Scottsdale for a few years. After having Parker, we realized how important it was for us to live near our families and chose to move back to Ohio so we could be closer to them. After moving back to Ohio, I knew I wanted to open a dental practice in my community of Lewis Center. Olentangy Modern Dental is the practice Ive always envisioned and Im excited to serve the Lewis Center community.

What do you do outside of the office? I love going to see live music, spending time with my husband and son, impromptu dance parties with my son, going to football games (Ohio State Buckeyes and Indianapolis Colts), trying new restaurants (especially Mexican food), enjoying wine and shopping with girlfriends.

Who is your hero? Why? My dad. He worked full time while putting himself through college, having a family, and then leading a successful business career. Hes always encouraged me to pursue my dreams and taught me that I can do anything as long as I work hard. I can only hope that I will be a fraction of the role model to my children as he is to me.

What flavor of ice cream would you be? I am 100% a chocolate/vanilla swirl with rainbow sprinkles kind of girl. Just like the ice cream, I am traditional like vanilla, adventurous like chocolate and love a little sparkle/fun in my life like rainbow sprinkles.

Fearful of the dentist? Painful past experiences? Well help you see dentistry in a new light by putting your comfort and needs first. We even offer amenities like noise-canceling headphones and nitrous oxide sedation.

Your regular checkups with Dr. Amy Gavin and our friendly team will be far from routine. We dont focus on your teeth, but rather, we focus on the correlation of your dental health to your overall health. Studies have indicated oral diseases, such as periodontal (gum) disease, significantly increase your chance of serious health risks, including heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and much more.

During your comprehensive exams, we thoroughly review your health history and discuss ways how to improve both your oral and overall health. A comprehensive exam at Olentangy Modern Dental also includes:

We love seeing kiddos! Positive and healthy habits start at a young age and well make going to the dentist fun and educational for your little ones. This includes getting to their level and demonstrating the importance of brushing and flossing teeth every day. Make the most of your and your familys time by scheduling all of them at once. Call us for more details! 740-200-5100

If you or your hygienist are noticing these early signs, Dr. Gavin may recommend periodontal therapy (scaling & root planing). This is considered a deep cleaning, where one of our hygienists will get rid of plaque and tartar below the gumline to help your gums heal and be free from periodontal disease.

Saving your natural smile is our top priority, and root canal therapy (endodontics) is the last resort to save a natural tooth when its severely infected. At Olentangy Modern Dental, we are able to perform root canals to save your natural smile. There is the stigma of root canals being a painful experience, but that is not the case. Well do everything possible to make sure this procedure is as painless as possible.

Placing porcelain veneers requires the perfect blend of art and science. Dr. Amy Gavin is your cosmetic dentist for the Lewis Center and Olentangy areas. Shell work closely with you to ensure your new smile is a work of art made only for you.

You can finally say goodbye to metal braces! With Invisalign, its possible to gain a straight, beautiful smile without putting your life on hold. Invisalign is the modern twist to orthodontics by straightening your teeth using clear, virtually invisible aligners. Why is this option better?

Your true smile is out there and Dr. Gavin can help you find it with smile design! Your smile is the gateway to your personality, and its our goal to ensure you have a smile that merges with your personality.

Investing in a brand new smile can be a scary decision, which is why we have a smile design simulator to preview your new smile before starting treatment. In turn, youll know what to expect with the end results, keeping your smile for years to come.

Does your smile need an extra boost? Teeth whitening is an affordable and conservative method to brighten your smile. At Olentangy Modern Dental, our professional whitening methods are designed to brighten every contour of your smile, creating consistent, beautiful results.

Are you missing teeth? Dealing with slipping and sliding dentures? Dental implants can help! Implants mimic the look and function of the natural tooth, consisting of three parts: a post, abutment, and crown.

Normally, you would have to go see a specialist to place the titanium post within your jawbone, but Dr. Gavin is able to place and restore implants right in the office, allowing you to see the same familiar face from start to finish. Under the care of our Lewis Center implant dentist, you can:

Crowns: When a tooth is severely decayed or cracked, a dental crown is needed to restore the tooths function, stability, and beauty. As an artist, Dr. Gavin will ensure your crown blends seamlessly with your smile while having the durability of a natural tooth to last for a long time.

Bridges: Bridges are an alternative option to replace missing teeth if youre not a candidate for dental implants. A bridge is an artificial tooth held in place by crowns, which are bonded to the adjacent teeth on each side of the gap. These artificial teeth will look and feel like natural teeth, restoring beauty and function.
