About Whole Tree Dentistry
If you wake up tired after eight full hours in bed, and someone in the house has started sleeping elsewhere because of the snoring, the evidence often shows up in the mouth before it shows up anywhere else. Flattened, worn-down molars, a scalloped edge along the tongue and a dry throat first thing in the morning are exactly the findings a dentist notices. Whole Tree Dentistry on Double Churches Road in north Columbus has built a substantial part of its practice around that overlap between sleep and dentistry.
Dr. Lisa A. Strickland owns the practice, and Dr. Ashley G. Bassett and Dr. Gloria B. Weldon also see patients here. The office describes its approach as holistic and airway dentistry, treating snoring and obstructive sleep apnoea with oral appliance therapy as an alternative for people who cannot tolerate CPAP. Around that runs a full general and cosmetic practice: examinations and cleanings, fillings, whitening, same-day crowns milled in the office, laser dentistry and clear aligner treatment. The week is short — Monday through Thursday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., with nothing Friday through Sunday — so treatment needing several appointments takes planning around a four-day week.
Oral appliance therapy works by holding the lower jaw slightly forward through the night, which stops the soft tissue at the back of the throat from collapsing inward. It is effective for snoring and for many people with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnoea, and it is far easier to travel with than a machine and a mask. It is not a universal substitute: severe apnoea frequently still requires positive airway pressure, and diagnosis needs a sleep study interpreted by a physician rather than a dental examination alone.
On the restorative side, a same-day crown is designed and milled inside the office, so a tooth can be prepared and permanently crowned in one visit instead of two with a temporary in between. Laser dentistry allows some fillings and soft-tissue procedures to be done with less drilling and occasionally without anaesthetic, though that depends entirely on which tooth is involved and how deep the decay has gone. Ask which of the two routes your particular tooth qualifies for before you plan the appointment around it.
Whole Tree Dentistry on Double Churches Road in north Columbus is led by Dr. Lisa A. Strickland, with Dr. Ashley G. Bassett and Dr. Gloria B. Weldon. The practice describes itself as holistic and airway-focused, treating snoring and obstructive sleep apnoea with oral appliances as a CPAP alternative, alongside general and cosmetic dentistry, same-day crowns, laser treatment and clear aligners. Hours run Monday through Thursday only, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., with no Friday or weekend clinic.

This is the most friendly, warm, professional, well run-office in the region with wonderful staff and assistants and in which one can receive the best dental care. it is truly a state-of-the-art office which offers the latest, research-driven, quality, care. Dr Strickland and Bassett and their talented hygiene team (with the most talented hygienist, Aaron T) are highly skilled providers with superb talents. Their consistently planned and executed care--notable especially for advanced restorative dental care--includes restoration of implants both single as well as full arch tooth replacement procedures. This practice stands out as the shining light gem in the regional dental community.

Everyone here is awesome!
My first visit With, Dr. Bassey at Whole Tree was phenomenal! Everyone I spoke to from scheduling had amazing customer service. Dr. Bassey Rylleigh took a lot of time And talking with me, asking questions and listening. Her bedside manner is phenomenal. I love that they are more holistic. and look at training you as a whole person from a dental standpoint and anything that could be affected by that.
Beautiful people, gentle and thorough care- its always a pleasure to go to the dentist now! I have severe dental PTSD from bad experiences in the past and the Ladies at Wholetree LISTEN and are so kind. A whole body approach to dental care is essential to healthy teeth! Highly recommend.
This is the best dentist office I have ever been to! The staff are so friendly, extremely thorough, and forward thinking with their treatments. I cannot speak highly enough of Dr. Strickland and the team!
Dr. Strickland is an excellent doctor and cares very much about her patients. She takes the time to listen intently, never rushes, and is helping me address all of my concerns with deep expertise and genuine empathy. If you want a dentist who looks at the big picture and is deeply invested in your health, look no further than Dr. Strickland!
As a new patient I was impressed beginning with the initial contact to schedule the appointment until I walked out of the office. It was such a great experience there was so much information provided and Gabby was amazing!!! I learned so much during my visit and Dr. Bassett explained each step of my treatment plan. I look forward to continuing my treatment with this awesome team.
