Convenient Access from Upper Arlington
Just beyond Upper Arlington's northern edge, Infinity Dental sits on Old Henderson Rd in northwest Columbus, roughly 5 minutes by car from the city's Municipal Services Center. For families comparing options for a dentist in Upper Arlington, OH, that is close enough to treat the office like a neighborhood practice. Dr. Woody cares for young children, busy parents and older adults, and appointments start at 7:00 AM Monday through Thursday.
The drive could hardly be simpler. From the Municipal Services Center at 3600 Tremont Road, follow Tremont Road northeast; it turns into Kenny Road as you keep heading north. Turn left onto Old Henderson Rd and look for the Olde Henderson Square plaza at 1234 Old Henderson Rd # A, Columbus, OH 43220. All told it is about 1.7 miles, the shortest trip from any community we serve.
Residents in the south end of town, near the Mallway or Northam Park, should simply allow a few extra minutes beyond the city hall figure.

A Familiar Address for Upper Arlington Households
Upper Arlington began in 1913, when developers King and Ben Thompson bought 840 acres south of Lane Avenue and planned a Garden City-style suburb. Landscape architect William Pitkin Jr. planned its Garden City layout of homes on generous lawns, and that original section, often called Old Arlington or South of Lane, joined the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. The community incorporated as a village in 1918 and became a city in 1941.
North of Lane Avenue, post-war ranch homes and larger 1960s houses filled in the map until Henderson Road became the northern border in 1969. The 2020 census counted 36,800 residents, and the city sits between the Olentangy and Scioto rivers in Franklin County, bordered by Columbus, Marble Cliff and Grandview Heights. The City of Upper Arlington maintains 21 parks and three outdoor pools.
Life here revolves around schools, parks and long-standing traditions such as the Labor Day Arts Festival at Northam Park. Upper Arlington High School, the Tremont Road library and the Miller Park branch, once a streetcar shelter, all anchor busy weekday routines. A dental office that sits a few minutes north of all that, opens early and sees every generation fits naturally into how Upper Arlington families already plan their week.
Rush-hour traffic on Tremont and Kenny can add a few minutes, so working parents often find an early slot the smoothest choice. Those 7:00 AM starts, Monday through Thursday, also suit retirees who like to finish errands before lunch. Because the office closes at 3:00 PM, the rest of the afternoon stays free for pickups, practices and the pool.
Dental Priorities Across Upper Arlington's Generations
Upper Arlington is very much a family city: roughly a quarter of residents are under 18, and more than a third of households include children. For those families, the essentials are steady six-month checkups, early cavity prevention and a dentist kids feel comfortable seeing. The office welcomes children from age one, and a 7:00 AM appointment can be done before the school bell.
The city also has a sizable population of residents 65 and older, about 18 percent in the 2020 census. Their questions tend to center on aging dental work: a crown that has started to leak, a bridge that no longer fits well, or a missing tooth they have put off replacing. Crowns and bridges remain reliable ways to restore damaged or missing teeth, and implants are another option worth discussing.
For qualifying patients considering implants, the office offers a complimentary implant consultation and 3D scan, up to a $500 value. That CBCT scan shows the bone and nearby structures in three dimensions, which helps Dr. Woody judge whether an implant suits the site. Having parents, children and grandparents at one nearby office also means one set of records and one familiar team.
Some adults put off care because earlier visits felt rushed or uncomfortable. Our team explains each step before it starts and checks in during treatment, while in-office massage therapy, a free beverage service and TV during treatment help longer appointments pass more easily. For a retiree facing a multi-visit implant or bridge plan, that steady communication matters as much as the dentistry itself.
Teenagers bring their own concerns, from crowded teeth to chipped edges. The office offers orthodontic care, and routine checkups are a good time to look at a teen's bite before high school schedules fill up. Upper Arlington students juggling classes, sports and activities appreciate that a 7:00 AM cleaning and exam keeps missed class time to a minimum.
From First Checkups to Implants for Anyone Wanting a Dentist in Upper Arlington, OH
Dental Implants
Implants replace the root of a missing tooth and support a natural-looking crown. Dr. Woody has advanced training in implant dentistry, including more complex cases.
Restorative Dentistry
Fillings, crowns, bridges and dentures rebuild teeth that have worn down over the years. Older Upper Arlington patients often use these visits to replace dental work that has reached the end of its life.
General & Preventative Dentistry
Routine exams, cleanings and x-rays keep small problems small. Digital scanning takes the place of bulky impression trays in many cases.
Pediatric Dentistry
Kids from age one are seen in a child-friendly setting, and the office suggests a first visit by age three. Regular checkups from those first years help catch small cavities before they grow.
Periodontal & Gum Treatments
Gum disease becomes more common with age and can loosen otherwise healthy teeth. Treatment ranges from deeper cleanings to ongoing maintenance visits.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Infinity Dental from Upper Arlington, and how do I get there?
From the Municipal Services Center, Infinity Dental is about 1.7 miles away, roughly a 5-minute drive. Tremont Road runs northeast and becomes Kenny Road, and Old Henderson Rd is a left turn off Kenny. Few families looking for a dentist in Upper Arlington, OH will find a shorter trip just across the city line.
Is this the same office where George P. Wick, DDS practiced?
Yes, it is the same office. Dr. Wick practiced here for years, and many patients still recognize the location by his name. Infinity Dental now continues the welcoming care patients have trusted at this address since 1983, with Dr. Woody as the dentist. Former patients are welcome to call and schedule with the current team.
How do I know whether an implant or a bridge is right for me?
It depends on the health of the neighboring teeth and the bone where the tooth is missing. A bridge relies on the teeth on either side, while an implant stands on its own. Dr. Woody reviews x-rays or a 3D scan with you, explains the trade-offs of each option, and lets you decide.
Can my parents and my kids all be patients at the same office?
Yes, Dr. Woody treats patients of every age, from one-year-olds to grandparents. Keeping three generations at a single office means one familiar team and one set of records. Each person still gets a plan suited to their own age and needs.
How soon should I come in for a cracked or chipped tooth?
As soon as you can, even if it does not hurt yet. A crack can spread or let bacteria reach the nerve, turning a simple repair into a larger one. Call the office right away; same-day emergency care is offered when available, and Dr. Woody will check the tooth and talk through bonding, a crown or other repairs.
