Sedation Dentistry
Our sedation dentistry services help patients overcome dental anxiety through oral and IV sedation options. This specialized care allows complex treatments to be completed comfortably in fewer visits. Patients benefit from reduced stress and pain perception while maintaining consciousness throughout procedures.

Our pain-free dentistry approach combines advanced techniques and compassionate care to minimize discomfort during procedures. This includes nitrous oxide options, precise anesthetic application, and specialized equipment designed for patient comfort during restorative and cosmetic treatments.
Emergency Dental Care

Dr. Segnini is awesome! He dealt with my fear of pain patiently and made sure that I was comfortable during the treatments. I've never had any issues with my fillings and crown even after years! This place is very professional, everyone is friendly and smiling. I highly recommend!

Oak Creek dental are very wonderful people! I was in need of crowns and fillings which they did an exceptional job taking care of! They completed all my dental work in a short amount of time! I was very anxious about my visit but they made me very comfortable. Their compassionate care provided me with a pain free visit. The nitrous allowed me to relax and not be anxious. Dr. Segnini made my crowns right there in his office the same day!

His work was excellent in giving me both my beautiful new crowns the same visit! Nicole and Reagan cleaned my teeth! They gave me a comfortable cleaning with no rough scraping! They were both very fun to talk to and I even enjoyed my cleaning with them! Kristin works in the office and she was wonderful with helping me out with all my insurance paperwork!

Called three separate times today to get a cavity appointment scheduled and each time i was hung up on. Very disappointed because it seems like a nice place but the first time i was hung up on i called back, last two times i was put on hold and then hung up on. Im not calling back a forth time.

As we "mature", often our healthcare professionals treat us like we were the patients we always were. While that can be complementary at times, it can be painful at others. Oakcreek Dental treats me like the vintage model that I am. I appreciate the concern for my comfort during procedures and the excellent follow-up that they provide. They have been consistent for almost 20 years. I wouldn't consider going anywhere else.

I have written reviews for OCD before, but I am updating because I have had another great experience. First, I have been a patient for a decade. And after ortho, I returned to OCD for my deep cleaning and get an updated treatment plan. McDuffey retired. I was concerned about a new and "young" dentist replacing him, but Dr. Latta has been great. And Dr. Segnini continues to be awesome. I definitely feel comfortable and never feel judged.

The office staff is phenomenal! Honestly, the office team may be the best part of the whole deal :-) I am able to send emails to ask questions, get information (to include a clear treatment plans/pricing) and update them on appointments. And despite how many times I ask questions, they always take my calls/emails - and respond quickly and politely. The "con" is that because both Latta and Segnini are very thorough in their exams, it may FEEL like they are over-charging you. They can see problems before they become evident or emergencies. So, trust their evaluations - so you can PLAN treatment instead of being in a full emergency later.

Meg and Meg are the best! They always take excellent care of me when I'm due for an appointment. The staff is very professional and always happy to see me when I walk in. I would highly recommend Oak Creek. They have the best dental experience in Columbus, and a great philosophy for those hesitant to go to dentist!
