A Trusted Neighborhood Dentist in Clintonville, OH

Thoughtful, honest dental care for patients of all ages. We listen first, explain clearly, and recommend treatment with one goal: helping you feel confident in your oral health.

Welcome to High + Henderson Dental

Honest, Thoughtful Dental Care in Clintonville

We know dental care can feel confusing, especially when every patient’s situation is different and there is so much misinformation out there. That is why we take the time to explain what we see, what it means, and what your options are. If you do not understand why we are recommending treatment, or why we are not recommending treatment, we have not done our job.

Our office is built on trust, communication, and clinical care that is never rushed or “phoned in.” We are proud to be a neighborhood dental office serving Clintonville, Columbus, Worthington, and the surrounding communities with the kind of care we would recommend to our own families.

Personal Care Without the Corporate Approach

A Modern Clintonville Dental Office with a Neighborhood Feel

High + Henderson Dental is not a corporate dental office, and we do not want to feel like one.

We are a local practice that knows our patients by name and supports them throughout their oral health journey. Whether you have been visiting the dentist every six months or it has been several years since your last appointment, you are in the right place.

There is no judgment here. Our job is to meet you where you are, help you understand your dental health, and create a plan that puts you in a better position moving forward.
