5 stars only because I can't put a million!! I was going to wait until the very end of my son's treatment with Bowen Legacy Dental before writing a review, but in the chance I can help lend advice to the parent questioning the choice between the typical orthodontic route and the holistic, orthotropic route, I felt it prudent to give the review now. My son is wrapping up his orthotropic appliance and myofunctional therapy and we couldn't be happier with this route. In short, it has been life changing. My son entered the practice with what at the time I assumed was a pronounced overbite. Rather than an overbite, it turned out to be an underdeveloped lower jaw causing his tongue position to restrict proper breathing. In his situation, this lack of development in his lower jaw contributed to multiple health issues. He had near constant sinus issues and continuous illnesses that prevented him from actively engaging in typical childhood play without coming down with something. Additionally, he had a fairly pronounced stutter that caused him insecurities and social phobias. While our dentist at the time recommended two orthodontists, a nagging internal doubt had me research alternative routes. With online digging, I stumbled upon Bowen Legacy Dental which promoted extensive dental therapy options. Very grateful we went in for a consultation. If we had gone the traditional route of orthodontic braces, it would have probably made his health issues worsen due to not fixing the root of the problem. With traditional orthodontic treatment, they would have moved his upper teeth back causing more restriction to his tongue placement thereby further restricting proper breathing. (also leads to sleep apnea later in life) Traditional orthodontic braces may have made his mouth slightly more aesthetically pleasing (maybe), but I'm doubtful he would look as handsome as he does now, because with his lower jaw moved forward and widened, he looks much more like his older brother! His brother and him now both have the same looking chin! Proof positive that THIS was how his jaw SHOULD have developed had he not been born premature and had health issues as birth. Aesthetics aside, they are nothing compared to the health benefits my son has received from orthotropic and myofunctional therapy. My son is rarely, RARELY sick anymore! Such a healthy teenager! Additionally, and I can't confirm this was the cure, my son's stutter is almost completely gone! He even performed in a play at his school this past winter and is excited for when his speech class gets to the debate portion of the semester! While stuttering typically is unlike most speech issues as it often is hard to pinpoint a way to overcome, in my view, orthotropic therapy is absolutely a major factor in my son's cessation of stuttering. His mouth opened up and his tongue could relax into the position it was meant. It makes sense to me. Lastly, this team! SO wonderful!! From the super warm and friendly front desk (Lexi, we love you!), the always pleasant and caring dental assistants and hygienists, to the incredibly knowledgeable and dedicated Dr. Gehlert and Dr. Beck, we couldn't have landed in a better group of caring professionals. They really truly care about you. Dr. Beck even squeezed us in at the last minute shortly after an appliance adjustment felt a bit off. He bent over backwards to accommodate us to make sure the progress made didn't see any setbacks. When this happened, it was a REALLY busy day in their office, so I knew the whole team at Bowen was shuffling a very busy schedule to fit us in. The care and concern for our wellbeing were evident. They care for you here. We are so, so grateful to find this amazing dentist/orthodontist. They are an oasis in a sea of modern, standard, apathetic, allopathic care. Thank you Bowen Legacy Dental!!!!

I've been a patient for over 40 years. I love the friendly service and expertise of the dental staff. Great dental care.

We had our first ever dentist appointment here today with a one year-old and a three-year-old. I was absolutely blown away by their patients and how interactive they were. SO gentle, kind, understanding, & PATIENT. I unfortunately cannot remember the name of the woman who helped us, but she was incredible, letting the kids touch and feel everything and making sure they were comfortable before putting anything in their mouth. LOVED HER. I have never wrote a review for anything in my life, but I knew I had to after our first ever appointment here! You guys are amazing. 10/10

Extremely professional. Wonderful experience for extensive dental work. Highly recommend.

I was curious about Healthy Start because I wanted to get ahead of things as my kids’ adult teeth came in. This approach allowed us to guide growth early, build a solid foundation, and yes, maybe avoid braces later! At our first evaluation, they walked us through photos and measurements and connected what we were seeing in their bites and posture to sleep, airway, and the grinding we heard at night. We began with Healthy Start and later moved to ALF. Both were gentle and easy to live with. No nightly battles, no complicated routines. The wins for us have been quieter nights, less grinding, and softer, broader smiles. They sleep deeper and actually looked rested! Dr. Gehlert and Dr. Beck have been absolutely wonderful with the kids! They are calm, kind, and clear about next steps. Marisa’s myofascial therapy helped tremendously by focusing on how the tongue, teeth, and facial muscles work together, not just how the teeth look. It’s been a low-stress, logical path, and we feel genuinely hopeful about avoiding full braces. I’d absolutely choose this team again in a heartbeat!

Very nice, Good and gentle on the mouth, I got numbing shots and barely even felt or noticed it/them, very good at her job

Love the synergy in this office. Very friendly and professional.

The ortho department at Bowen Legacy Dental has been absolutely amazing! My child’s smile has completely transformed, it’s not only straighter but noticeably wider and healthier. While fixing her crossbite. Jackie is so gentle at her appointments. I’m blown away by the changes we’ve seen, not just in appearance, in overall oral function and comfort. And Meagan was very helpful with the payment arrangements!

Great service and friendly staff made me feel right at home.

Best Dental known in America. They are holistic dentistry that are very informative and careful with their patients. The people at the front desk are amazing.

I had such a wonderful experience at Bowen Legacy Dental! Dr. Gehlert is incredibly warm, kind, and patient. She took the time to explain every procedure to me in detail, which made me feel completely at ease and confident in the care I was receiving.

I just had the best dental cleaning of my life at Bowen Legacy Dental! From start to finish, the experience was outstanding. The front desk staff was so warm, welcoming, and efficient—they made scheduling easy and set such a positive tone from the very first phone call.

From the very first phone call to schedule my appointment, I knew I was in good hands with Bowen Legacy Dental. The staff was incredibly friendly, informative, and made the entire process seamless. What truly sets this practice apart is their holistic approach to dentistry. They take the time to explain everything, focusing not just on teeth but on whole body wellness. I felt genuinely cared for and never rushed. The atmosphere is calming, and every team member is warm and professional. I highly recommend Bowen Legacy Dental

Great experience!

I highly recommend Bowen Legacy Dental. We are greeted with smiles every time we come and feel so welcomed. The entire staff are so kind and make my little ones feel so special. We travel a little ways just to come here because they are so worth it.

Wonderful! The whole staff is lovely. Plus Dr. Gehlert saved my tooth! I had a molar which anywhere else would have resulted in an immediate root canal - which I wanted to avoid. Dr. Gehlert did ozone treatment on the molar and a crown and I can say a year later, I have had zero issues with the tooth! I couldn't be more pleased with the level of care they provide and education to my health. I'm one who is willing to travel for good doctors. I travel over an hour to see Dr. Gehlert. I'm so pleased and would recommend Bowen Legacy dental to anyone who wants the next level of service to help take care of their health.

I had such a positive experience here for myself and also with my four children that I had to give them a positive review. They were very patient, kind, and gentle with all of my children including my 1 year old who was very overtired and not acting that great 🤣 . 10000/10.

I’ve been with Dr Richard Bowen for 40 years, and have been so happy with his work, as well as the great work of his staff. I did the Philips Zoom Whitening, in the office, and had great results. It was just 1 appointment, (and much better outcome than the strips)!

I recently visited Bowen Legacy Dental with my family, and we couldn't be more pleased with the experience. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and a welcoming atmosphere. The office is clean, modern, and equipped with the latest technology, which immediately put us at ease. Dr. Gehlert and the entire staff are incredibly professional and compassionate. They took the time to explain every procedure and made sure we were comfortable throughout our visits. The hygienists were gentle and thorough, making our cleanings a breeze. It's clear that they have the patients' health in mind when deciding treatment plans, as they always provide thoughtful and personalized recommendations. We especially enjoy their options for holistic dentistry, which align with our preference for natural and minimally invasive treatments. Knowing that our overall health is considered in every decision gives us great peace of mind. What truly sets Bowen Legacy Dental apart is how they have gone above and beyond for our family. Whether it's accommodating our busy schedules, providing extra care for our kids, or following up after treatments, their dedication is evident in every interaction. My kids, who are usually nervous about dental appointments, actually enjoyed their visit. The team made them feel special and cared for, turning what could have been a stressful experience into a positive one. We also appreciated the convenient scheduling and the reminder system, which made it easy to keep track of our appointments. Overall, Bowen Legacy Dental is a fantastic choice for anyone looking for a top-notch dental practice. We feel fortunate to have found such a caring and skilled team to take care of our dental health. Highly recommend!

We just love this place. Excellent care by all, and I appreciate Dr. Gehlert’s thorough and integrative approach. My restorations turned out beautifully, and my small kids have received wonderful ortho treatment as we work to make space in their arches and improve bite, which will help with other potential issues down the road!

I LOVE this office. It's so obvious that every member of the staff cares genuinely for their patients. Dr. Gehlert is so kind and knowledgeable. She has done so much for me and my family over the years, but one of the most incredible things is that she completely fixed my daughter's dramatic underbite in a matter of months. I'd been told elsewhere my daughter would need surgery to reset her jaw when she was 18. But Dr. Gehlert along with Dr. Beck corrected her with a gentle, removable appliance and now the problem has been fixed painlessly before she has even turned five. (I put her before and after photos on this post) Everyone there genuinely cares about you, and Dr G. makes you feel like her family. Thank you Dr. Gehlert and team for years of loving care!

If you've had bad experiences with dentists—I've had several—you will not regret choosing Bowen. Lovely people.

The best dentist in central Ohio. They have a great holistic approach. We took 2 of our daughters there and were very happy with the experience. The whole family will be going soon. Great place!

Stellar job. The entire staff is amazing and extremely dedicated. Dr Gehlert put together a team of experts to determine the best way to help me since I have extreme dry mouth causing gum and tooth issues. After a couple of years of effort, I have a brand new smile and can chew my food so much easier.
