Convenient Access from Powell
Most working adults in Powell commute out of town each morning, so a visit that fits before work matters. Infinity Dental in northwest Columbus is about 17 minutes from Village Green Park by way of SR 315, and appointments start at 7:00 AM Monday through Thursday. For anyone weighing a dentist in Powell, OH against an office closer to work, that early start is often the deciding factor.
Leave the Municipal Building at 47 Hall Street and turn east on West Olentangy Street (SR 750), which becomes West Powell Road. Turn south on Olentangy River Road (SR 315); it soon turns into the Olentangy Freeway. Take the exit for Olentangy River Road near Henderson Road, go west on West Henderson Road, then left on Kenny Road and right on Old Henderson Road.
The drive measures 10.4 miles door to door, without tolls. Downtown Powell centers on the Four Corners, where SR 750 meets Liberty Street, and SR 315 carries you most of the way south. Our address is 1234 Old Henderson Rd # A, Columbus, OH 43220, inside the Olde Henderson Square plaza, and our Google Maps listing will drop a pin for you. Neighbors in Dublin and Linworth live a little closer to the office.
Built for a Commuter Town Like Powell
Powell has carried several names. Settlers knew it first as Middlebury, then Hall's Corner, before it became Powell in 1857. It incorporated as a village in 1947 and reached city status in 2000. This Delaware County city sits between the Scioto and Olentangy rivers, and the 2020 census counted a little over 14,000 residents.
Today it is very much a bedroom community. The great majority of working residents earn their paychecks outside the city, so the morning drive is part of daily life. That pattern shapes what a good dental fit looks like: short visits, clear plans and appointments that happen before the workday rather than in the middle of it.
Our schedule suits that kind of patient. We open at 7:00 AM four days a week and finish at 3:00 PM, so a cleaning or a crown appointment can be done before most meetings start. The team explains each step as it goes, so you always know what comes next.
Comfort counts when you are squeezing a visit into a packed day. The office offers in-office massage therapy, a free beverage service and TVs to watch during treatment. Those small touches make an early appointment feel less like a chore and more like a calm start to the morning.
Downtime here centers on the parks. The city maintains seven of them, about 114 acres in all, from Seldom Seen Park to Village Green Park, with a playground, a splash pad open from Memorial Day to Labor Day and the annual Powell Festival. Students attend the Olentangy Local School District, and we treat a family's first visit as the start of a long relationship rather than a one-off.
What Busy Professionals in Powell Often Overlook
When work runs the calendar, dental care tends to slide until something hurts. A small cavity found at a routine visit is a quick filling. The same cavity left for two or three years can need a crown or root canal therapy, which costs more time and money.
Stress shows up in the mouth too. Commuters who clench through traffic or grind at night often notice sore jaw muscles, morning headaches or flattened tooth edges long before they connect them to their teeth. An exam can spot that wear early, and our office offers TMJ treatment when the pattern fits.
Another common gap is the old crown or filling nobody has looked at in a decade. Edges wear, cement breaks down and decay can start underneath. An exam is the time to have older restorations checked, and when one needs replacing, our office uses digital scanning instead of a mouthful of impression material in many cases. Replacement crowns and bridges are designed to blend with your natural teeth.
Gum disease is the other quiet problem. It rarely hurts in the early stages, and the first sign is often a little bleeding when you floss. Regular cleanings and periodontal care keep it in check, and catching it early avoids deeper treatment later on.
Parents in Powell juggle all of this plus the kids' schedules. Our office sees children as young as one, so the family can share one dental home instead of three.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Infinity Dental from Powell, and how do I get there?
Plan on about 17 minutes for the 10.4-mile drive from Village Green Park. The route follows SR 750 east, SR 315 south to the Henderson Road area, then West Henderson Road, Kenny Road and Old Henderson Road. It is a straightforward run for anyone who wants a dentist in Powell, OH commuters can reach on the way to work.
Will SR 315 traffic make me late for a 7:00 AM appointment?
Not if you leave with some margin. The drive is about 17 minutes in light traffic, most of it on SR 315 southbound, and rush-hour traffic on that stretch adds time. Leaving a few minutes early lets you arrive relaxed, finish your visit and still head to work at a normal hour.
Can I get a crown without biting into impression putty?
In many cases, yes. Our office uses digital scanning, which captures a 3D image of your teeth instead of filling your mouth with a tray of impression material. Patients who gag easily usually find the scanner far easier to tolerate. Dr. Woody will confirm whether a scan works for your crown, bridge or other restoration.
Is there an affordable way to have one sore tooth checked?
Yes. New patients can book the $59 Limited Exam & X-Ray, a problem-focused visit for one specific concern. It includes the exam, any x-rays needed and treatment recommendations from Dr. Woody. It suits people who want a clear answer about a nagging ache before deciding on next steps.
What happens if I keep putting off a small cavity?
It keeps growing. Decay moves slowly through enamel but much faster through the softer dentin underneath, and once it reaches the nerve the tooth may need root canal therapy and a crown. Treated early, the same cavity usually needs only a simple tooth-colored filling. A 7:00 AM visit makes it easier to deal with it now.
