I had tons of work done on my teeth growing up. I had braces twice for years at a time, I had appliances that I had to crank every day to widen my mouth to make room for teeth coming in, I had upper and lower jaw surgery that took a whole year to heal from, I mean I have been through the worst of the worst!
I had very little confidence in myself growing up. My teeth were growing in wrong and my jaws were completely misaligned. I didnt like smiling because my smile was extremely gummy, and when I did smile, Id cover my mouth with my hand as I laughed. My jaws made my chin look huge and so Id tilt my chin a certain way in photos to hide it. I couldnt even eat correctly! My front teeth didnt touch at all. Something as simple as eating pizza with my friends was so embarrassing. I couldnt bite into anything.
The summer before my senior year of high school completely changed everything for me. This is when I had my jaw surgery. I kid you not, I look like a robot on my x-ray. My surgery left me with teeth that actually could function when I bit into a sandwich, a natural looking chin and a way less gummy smile. I was a new girl! Everyone at school commented on how different I looked and how much happier I seemed. I became myself that summer. The outgoing, fun loving, big smiling girl I knew I was inside.
That feeling of finally being able to be yourself and let your soul be free, its life changing. I knew right then I want to help others feel the same. I knew I was good at art and building things. Using my hands to create magic is what I was good at.
I am so blessed to be doing something that I love everyday and to be helping others gain confidence in themselves. That smile when my patients look in the mirror at their results is so rewarding. I only do dentistry that comes from the heart because Ive been there. Im here for you.
My husband, my fur babies Rho & Ray, my family, the outdoors, going on adventures, exploring different cultures, cooking (and with cooking I obviously also love eating), fishing, kayaking, skiing, four wheeling, gardening, caring for my plant babies, interior decorating, art, coffee and of course football. GO BUCKS!

Dr. Massa was very kind and informative and really cared about all of my questions. Tori was my hygienist and she was amazing. She was so gentle and attentive and explained everything she was doing. Overall I felt very safe and taken care of. And most importantly: well-informed about the state of my oral health.

After four visits to this office I would definitely recommend Total Wellness Dental Studio to anyone looking for dental care. I have had experience at a handful of offices in Columbus area, and have found this office to not only take extra care of their clients through clear communication, they also take care if you while servicing your needs. It is very clear that Dr Massa-Wallace also takes care of her staff. No doubt, best office I've experienced.

This place was amazing from the start. The office staff was so friendly and talkative. Kate, the hygienist took her time with me as well as listened to my concerns and history. Dr. Massa was friendly and asked questions. I felt totally at ease. Everyone one was professional and the place was so clean. Can't wait to go back.

Love Dr. Massa & Diane! They have such great energy! In fact, everyone I met on the staff does <3 Moreso, Dr. Massa has such a great cosmetic eye, along with a thorough & efficient evaluation. She's incredibly talented with injectables, as I'm sure she is with her dental work! Can't wait to see her again for my second round!
