On this eve before Christmas Eve the office is very quiet.  The patients and staff are at home with their families relaxing or perhaps preparing for the festivities in the days to come.  I want to thank you for particpating in our food and Toy drive this holiday season.   We dropped off the loot this afternoon at the Grandview Fire Department and they will make sure the toy donations get to a child in Columbus in need in an effort to help make their Christmas a little bit brighter.  Thank you to all of you for your generous support.  Happy Holidays!       Grandview Dental Care1220 … Continue reading →

So, it’s a couple days before Christmas and perhaps you have a few more people on your list that you haven’t had a chance to shop for.  The economy is tight but it’s important to keep a bright outlook.  Times have been tough before and you made it through it.  So, here are just a few ideas compiled by the staff and some of our patients.  For the dog walker: Baby it’s cold outside.  Since this is my first winter as a dog walker warm mittens and a fun, funky… yet warm hat are at the top of my list.  … Continue reading →

New patients to our office fill out a health history questionaire before their first appointment.  The last two questions are: How long do you plan to keep your teeth?  and How do you feel about dentures? The answer to the first question is typically “forever” and to the second question “yikes” or similar response.  We ask this question to get people to think about what it takes to keep your mouth healthy and free of gum disease.  The most successful method of keeping your teeth for a lifetime is to take care of them.  And the alternative to keeping your teeth for a … Continue reading →

That question is impossible to answer without a Smile Consultation with a dentist that is experienced with both solutions to a straighter smile, Invisalign Orthodontics and veneers.   Are you going to a Columbus cosmetic dentist that can offer you the best solution for your smile situation? If your dentist can’t do both Invisalign and veneers, how do you know? Some patients want veneers because the treatment doesn’t take as long as orthodontics.   They want a straighter smile, and they want it now!  Invisalign takes an average of 12 months but some cases take as little as 6 months.  Veneers in … Continue reading →

As some of you may know, 2008 marks my 30th year as a dentist in Grandview.  After 30 years I can honestly say that I love what I do.  The advancements in dentistry continue to inspire and motivate me to learn and grow and become better and better at being a dentist. Looking back over the years I am amazed by all the changes in dentistry that make a patient’s time in the chair shorter, more comfortable, and provides a stronger more reliable end result.  There are treatments today that are even invisible so no one knows you are straightening … Continue reading →

We’ve been posting to our Blog since August of 2008.  It’s a quick way for anyone on the staff to publish an update to our website.  For example, we’ve had to close our office because of bad weather in the past, a quick post to our blog and our patients with appointments would know we were closed.  The best way to understand what a blog is, is to view some of the articles.  We invite you to choose some of the keywords or topics in the left hand margin to explore our blog.  You can also type in a search … Continue reading →

November 2008 marks the 30th Anniversary of Dr. Thompson being a dentist.  To celebrate this landmark occasion, the staff took him out to his favorite restaurant Z Cucina.  It takes a lot of dedication and passion to devote yourself to a profession for 30 years and still enjoy coming into the office each day.  It also takes a special guy to put up with an office full of women all these years!  Congratulations on 30 years Dr. T and many more to come!  We enjoy coming into work everyday too….. ok, there may be some days we’d rather be in Baruba … Continue reading →
