Convenient Access from Marion
Getting the most out of each appointment matters when your dentist is 41 minutes away, and that is the trade-off for a family choosing Infinity Dental over a dentist in Marion, OH. Our office is in Kenton, northwest of the city on SR 309, and our two dentists try to complete needed work at the same visit whenever possible. For many patients, that approach makes the longer drive a reasonable choice.
Starting at the Marion County Courthouse, head west on Court Street, go one block south on North Main Street and turn right onto West Center Street, which carries SR 95, SR 309 and SR 739. After about three-quarters of a mile, bear right onto Kenton Avenue (SR 309). Kenton Avenue becomes Harding Highway West, and after one roundabout on the west side of town you stay on SR 309 for about 24 miles. In Kenton, turn right on Memorial Avenue and then right on E Columbus St, for a total of about 26.5 miles.
Our address is 965 E Columbus St, Kenton, OH 43326, on the east side of town, so you reach us before downtown. Find us on Google Maps to preview the last turns. Patients from La Rue and Marseilles, also in our service area, see us as well.
Fitting Dental Care Around Busy Marion Schedules
Marion was laid out in 1822 and named for General Francis Marion, and today it is a city of 35,999, the largest in its county. President Warren G. Harding ran his 1920 front-porch campaign from his home on Mount Vernon Avenue, which is now a museum, and he is buried at the Harding Memorial. Downtown, the Palace Theatre, designed by John Eberson, opened in 1928 and still hosts movies and performing arts.
The city is a mix of working households and students. Ohio State University at Marion and Marion Technical College share a campus founded in 1957, and roughly three in ten households have children at home. Between work shifts, classes and kids' schedules, a dental visit has to fit into a tight week.
That is why we focus on efficient visits. If your cleaning and exam turn up a small cavity, our dentists will often take care of it right then rather than booking a second appointment. Office hours are Monday through Wednesday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and Thursday, 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM.
Local landmarks run from the Wyandot Popcorn Museum in Heritage Hall to the main branch of the Marion Public Library on East Church Street. The city sits on US 23, with SR 4, SR 309 and SR 423 crossing the city, so SR 309 is already a familiar road for many residents.
Dental Problems Worth Fixing Before They Grow
A missed cleaning rarely feels urgent, but small cavities can spread quietly until they reach the nerve. At that point a simple filling becomes a root canal and a crown. Regular exams with digital x-rays help our dentists catch decay while it can still be treated with a composite filling that matches the color of your tooth.
Sudden problems do happen, though. A cracked molar, a lost crown or a swollen gum can throw off a whole week. Our office offers same-day emergency care when possible, and calling early in the day gives the team the best chance to fit you in.
Appearance is a factor for many students and young professionals too. Stains, chips and uneven edges are often fixable with whitening or bonding, and our dentists discuss what is realistic before any work starts. We would rather give you an honest picture than oversell a treatment.
Nerves keep plenty of adults away from the dentist for years. Our team checks in with anxious patients throughout treatment, you can watch a favorite movie while you are in the chair, and an intra-oral camera lets you see on a monitor exactly what the dentists are seeing. Knowing what is happening, and why, tends to make each visit feel more manageable.
For a patient without insurance, the $149 cleaning, exam and x-ray is a straightforward way to start. It covers new patients without dental insurance and without periodontal (gum) disease, and it gives you a clear baseline for future care.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Infinity Dental from Marion, and how do I get there?
The office is about 26.5 miles from the Marion County Courthouse, roughly 41 minutes by car. Take West Center Street and Kenton Avenue out of town, then follow SR 309 (Harding Highway) west into Kenton and turn onto E Columbus St. If you are choosing a dentist in Marion, OH or beyond, nearly the whole trip is on one highway.
Can you fill a cavity at the same visit as my cleaning?
Often, yes. The practice aims to provide same-day treatment whenever possible, so a small cavity found during your cleaning and exam can frequently be filled before you leave. Larger work may need its own appointment. Our dentists will explain what they found and let you decide whether to proceed that day.
Can I pay with a credit card, cash or check?
Yes, the office accepts all major credit cards, cash and checks. If you have dental insurance, the team files the claim and gives you a cost breakdown first, so you only pay your share. Flexible financing options are also available for treatment that insurance does not cover or for patients without coverage.
Why would I choose a tooth-colored filling?
A tooth-colored filling blends in with the natural tooth, so it is hard to notice when you smile or talk. Composite material bonds directly to the tooth, which often allows a more conservative repair. It works well for small and medium cavities in front and back teeth. Our dentists will recommend the right material for each tooth.
What is an intra-oral camera, and why do you use it?
It is a small camera that takes close-up pictures inside your mouth and shows them on a chairside monitor. You can see the same cracks, worn fillings or plaque that the dentists see. That makes it easier to understand a recommendation and decide on treatment with confidence, instead of relying on a description alone.
