Front Office Assistant

Front Office Assistant

Dr. Jason Stoner has lead a team of professional periodontists to ensure the health of their local Ohio residents. This ever-growing practice has built a foundation of trust and loyalty from its patients, and continues to ensure quality with every procedure performed. The dental professionals at Stoner Periodontist Columbus know that every patient has an individualized case. No two situations are ever treated the same at the practice, which ensures the outcome of each treatment to be top quality and patient-centered. The oral health and wellness of each patient is the number one goal at the practice. Although we aim to aesthetically please every single patient, we are always quick to instill good dental hygiene practice tips for home life. Good oral hygiene stimulates and ensures good health and prevents the spread of bacteria, which can cause negative effects such as loss of teeth down the line.
