Price locked in up front
Your plan comes with the cost of each treatment. What we agree on doesn't change halfway through.
About us
A practice where you know what's being done and what it costs.
Dentistry for adults, kids and anyone who's afraid of the dentist, in Columbus.
The two reasons people stop going are surprise bills and pain. We work on both.
Our approach
You get the whole estimate at once, not bit by bit.
Pearlwood grew out of a complaint we kept hearing: a patient was quoted one price, treatment started and then everything else showed up along the way. Here, you get the full plan at your first visit.
- Specialists in the same office: we don't send you somewhere else.
- Everything from cleanings to implants, under one roof.
- Predictable: a set price per treatment, agreed on before we start.
Three steps before we touch anything
-
Exam
A full exam with X-rays, not just the tooth that hurts.
-
Plan
Everything you need in writing, ordered by urgency and priced out.
-
Treatment
We only do what you approve, at the pace and in the order that works for you.
What we solve
It almost always starts with one of these.
We start from what's worrying the patient, not from the name of a treatment.
Pick a situation to see how we'd handle it.
It hurts and I need to be seen today.
We hold openings every day for pain. Call us and we'll give you instructions while you're on your way.

Nobody will comment on how long it's been or the state of your mouth. Your first visit can be just a conversation and an exam.
View related treatmentI'm worried about getting overcharged along the way.
You get the full plan, priced per treatment, at your first visit. What we agree on doesn't change afterward.
View related treatmentI'm missing a tooth and don't know my options.
We check the available bone and walk you through the real options for your case, with the timeline and the cost.
View related treatmentI want straighter teeth, but I'm an adult.
Adult orthodontics is common. We tell you which options work for your case and how long each would take.
View related treatmentMy gums bleed when I brush.
That's not normal, even if it's common. We check your gums and the bone that holds your teeth in place.

The first visit is just a get-to-know-us: they climb into the chair, look around and leave without us doing anything.

How we care for you
Five steps, from the exam to the follow-up.
The same order with every patient, whether it's a cleaning or a longer treatment.
- Step 01
First visit
The first visit is for diagnosis: we check your whole mouth, not just the tooth that hurts, and take the X-rays we need. It takes as long as it takes, because everything else comes from here.
- Step 02
Plan and price
You get the plan in writing: which treatments you need, in what order it makes sense to do them and what each one costs. We separate what's urgent from what can wait, so you can decide with the full picture.
- Step 03
You decide
The plan is a recommendation, not an obligation. You can start with what's urgent and leave the rest for later. Nothing happens without your approval, and the agreed price doesn't change along the way.
- Step 04
Treatment
We keep a real schedule so you don't lose hours in the waiting room. And we take the time the anesthetic needs: most fear of the dentist comes from procedures done in a hurry.
- Step 05
Follow-up
Once treatment is done, we book your follow-up and let you know when your next cleaning is due. Most of what we treat could have been avoided with regular checkups.
Why PEARLWOOD?
What you gain by coming here.
It's not just about fixing what hurts. It's about you coming back without anyone having to push you.
No unnecessary treatment
We separate what's urgent from what can wait, and tell you plainly which is which.
Numbing without the rush
We wait as long as it takes before we start. Almost all fear of the dentist comes from skipping that.
Appointments that run on time
We keep a real schedule: you won't sit in the waiting room for an hour with an appointment.
Explained with images
We show you your X-rays and photos on screen and walk you through what we're seeing.
Same-day emergencies
We hold openings every day for pain. If you call in pain, we'll see you today.
