Concierge Experience

A Dental Practice Built on Relationships, Not Appointments

Granville Smiles isn’t your average dental office. We’re a concierge dental practice, which means we run on one guiding belief: that every patient deserves unhurried attention, honest communication, and care that actually fits their life.

Dr. Patel chose Granville, Ohio, because she wanted to build her practice in a community where she could know her patients by name, follow their families over the years, and be the kind of dentist people trust with the big stuff and the small stuff alike. That same warmth extends to every patient we welcome from Newark.

When you come to Granville Smiles, you’re not walking into a high-volume clinic. You’re walking into a practice that has time for you.

If you’re looking for a dentist near Newark, Ohio, you’re closer than you think. Granville Smiles is just a short drive away, and we’ve been taking care of patients from Newark and the surrounding Licking County area since Dr. Radhika Patel opened our doors right here in Granville.

We know dental offices can feel rushed, generic, and a little too transactional. Ours doesn’t. We built Granville Smiles on a different idea: that every person who walks through our door deserves to be treated like a neighbor, not a number on a schedule.

A Different Kind of Dental Practice

Granville Smiles is a concierge dental practice. That means we’re not in-network with insurance plans, and we’re proud of it. Not because we want to make things harder on you, but because being out-of-network gives us the freedom to focus entirely on you, not on what an insurance company will approve.

When you come to us as a Newark, Ohio patient, you won’t feel like you’re being rushed through a conveyor belt. You’ll get Dr. Patel’s full attention, a team that actually listens, and care that’s built around your goals, your comfort, and your timeline.

That’s what concierge dentistry means. And once you experience it, it’s hard to go back.

Why Newark Patients Choose Granville Smiles

There are plenty of dental offices in the area. Here’s why patients from Newark make the short drive to see us.

You’re treated like a person, not a chart. From the moment you call to schedule to the moment you leave, you’ll notice the difference. We know your name. We remember your concerns. We check in because we actually care how you’re doing.

No rushing, ever. Our concierge model means we don’t overbook. When you’re in the chair, our full attention is on you. Questions get answered. Concerns get addressed. You leave knowing exactly what’s happening with your oral health.

We’re out-of-network by design. Being a private-pay, out-of-network practice lets us make clinical decisions based entirely on what’s right for you, not what an insurance company will approve. Many of our patients find they can still submit claims for reimbursement, and we’re happy to help you navigate that.

Newark Dentist in Ohio - Dr. Radhika Patel

Meet Dr. Patel

Hi! I’m Dr. Radhika Patel; tooth-loving, outside-spending, wine-drinking a native of southern Ohio. I spent my childhood in a small town but decided to move to the booming metropolis of Cleveland Ohio for college. After graduating from Case Western Reserve University, I went on to earn my dental degree from the University of Pittsburgh in 2015. While there, I also simultaneously completed my Masters in Public Health. My husband, Doug, who I met in college, is also a dentist! We can’t talk enough about teeth in our family! He joined the US Navy following graduation and we moved to Washington DC where he furthered his education. Our experience in the military has taken us to so many beautiful places, some far and some close, but we knew we would make our way back to Ohio eventually.

Moving all over the country has given me the opportunity to serve a variety of populations from a multitude of educational, socioeconomic, and cultural backgrounds. My dental skills were able to adapt and evolve. The dentistry itself has stayed relatively consistent, but the outside factors that affect the work have varied. I have not only learned the importance of being detail-oriented and perfecting my craft, but also the value of building healthy and long-lasting relationships with both my team and my patients. Establishing this trust is imperative to having a healthy work environment that fosters dynamic growth, constant improvement, and allows me to provide the best dental care that I can.

I feel so incredibly fortunate to be back in my home state of Ohio where me, my husband, our two children, Griffin and Madeline, and dog Spartacus can settle down and give back to the people that have shaped us so much. I look forward to meeting all of the people of this community and building lifelong relationships!

I am a member of the Ohio Dental Association, the American Dental Association, and is certified in Invisalign.
