About Just Smiles - General, Cosmetic & Implant Dentistry

Six dentists rotate through this Hilliard Rome Road practice — Phil Chahine, DMD, FAGD, Shelley Thompson, DDS, Karishma Patel, DDS, Ebisinde Akah, DDS, Rachel Ea, DDS and Will Kalout, DDS — and a roster that size lets one office cover a range most single-dentist practices cannot. Families from Hilliard, Galloway and Brown Township book cleanings and children's checkups; adults come for crowns, root canals, veneers, Invisalign and whitening; and older patients come for implants and full-mouth work. Same-day emergency treatment runs alongside all of it. The practice states plainly that it aims to be non-judgemental about the state your teeth are in, which is aimed squarely at people who have stayed away for a decade and expect a lecture.

Sedation is central to that promise, and it comes in two strengths here. The lighter option is an oral sedative — a tablet taken before the appointment that leaves you calm, drowsy and slower to react, though awake and able to respond. It suits people whose dread is manageable but real. The deeper option is twilight sedation, given intravenously, which drops you into a semi-conscious state where you breathe on your own and can still be roused, but retain little or no memory afterwards. Long restorative visits and surgical work fit that route well. Both require a driver, and the deeper one requires fasting beforehand and a review of your medical history and medications. Neither replaces local anaesthetic, which is still used to numb the tooth itself.

The office is at 1921 Hilliard Rome Road in the Sweetwater area, on the retail corridor just north of the I-70 interchange, which makes it straightforward from west Columbus, Prairie Township and the Grove City side of the outerbelt. Tuesday runs until six in the evening and Friday closes at one.

Technology on hand includes three-dimensional imaging for implant planning, digital scanning in place of impression trays, and dental lasers for soft-tissue work. One thing to confirm before booking: the practice does not file Medicaid or CareSource claims, offering its own membership plan and several payment routes instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

With six dentists on the roster, will I see the same one each visit?
You can request a particular dentist, and most patients settle with whoever handles their first course of treatment. A larger team is mainly an advantage for availability — someone is usually free for a same-day emergency, and a longer procedure need not wait weeks for a specific diary. If continuity matters to you, say so when booking rather than leaving it to the scheduling system.
What is the difference between the two sedation options offered here?
The lighter route is an oral sedative taken as a tablet before your appointment, leaving you calm and drowsy but awake and responsive. The deeper route is intravenous twilight sedation, which puts you in a semi-conscious state where you breathe unaided but usually remember nothing afterwards. Both need a driver; the intravenous option also requires fasting. Local anaesthetic is still used either way to numb the tooth.
Does this practice accept Medicaid or CareSource?
No. The office states that it does not file Medicaid or CareSource claims, so patients covered by either will need to look elsewhere or self-fund. For uninsured patients, the practice runs its own dental membership plan as an alternative, alongside several payment methods. Ask what the membership fee includes and how it discounts larger treatment before assuming it covers implants or orthodontics at the same rate.

If I could give them more stars, I would! Maria and Mia were knowledgeable and so kind. Dr.Patel was the best dentist I’ve ever received care from. Front desk to exit conversations were wonderful. Just a stellar experience (I forgot I was there for a root canal it was that great) 100/10

I actually found Just Smiles through ChatGPT as a reference. I made my appointment and was scheduled to come into the office for a consultation. I made them aware ahead of time because you have to fill out a questionnaire that I had extreme fear from dentistry, and I had not been to see a dentist in quite some time because of that experience. The staff was extremely nice. I felt safe and Dr. Phil was everything. He took the time to explain to me what was going on, and my options. The most important thing for me was he acknowledged my fear which made me feel safe. I will be back to them to have whatever procedures that need to be done and I’m very grateful that I found them because feeling safe is one of the most important factors for me. Thank you Just Smiles.

I had my first appointment at Just Smiles last week for my 6-month checkup, and the staff was incredibly kind and welcoming. My cleaning went smoothly, was painless, and overall I had a positive experience. There were a couple moments during the cleaning where the hygienist rested some of the tools on my chest, which caught me a little off guard since that's not something I've experienced before. It seemed unintentional and harmless, and she was otherwise very friendly and did a thorough job cleaning my teeth. Overall, I'd still recommend Just Smiles for their welcoming atmosphere and caring staff.

I recently had the pleasure of going to Just Smiles to get their Zoom teeth whitening service before my wedding. The staff could not have been more friendly and did everything they could to make me comfortable. Dr. Phil is amazing and talked me through the process and addressed any concerns I had. The results far exceeded my expectations and was pretty painless. I know teeth sensitivity is different for everyone but I had little to no discomfort at all after the procedure. Only two hours and a whole new smile later I could not be more thrilled. I highly recommend.
