One trusted practice for every age, every stage. From your child’s first visit to your parents’ annual exam — Centerville Dental Center has been your family’s dental home since 1983.
Finding a dentist who genuinely knows your family — who remembers your children’s names, understands your parents’ health history, and treats every patient like a person rather than a chart number — is rare. At Centerville Dental Center, that is exactly what we have built over the past four decades.
Dr. Trang Nguyen, Dr. David Huang, and Dr. Ali have cared for thousands of Centerville families across multiple generations. We see patients of every age, from toddlers getting their first dental checkup to grandparents maintaining their smiles well into their 80s. When your whole family comes to one practice, we can identify patterns, coordinate care, and build the kind of long-term relationship that makes every visit easier.
Why families stay with us for decades: We take the time to know each patient personally. We remember your history, your preferences, and your concerns. We never rush an appointment, and we never recommend treatment that is not genuinely necessary. That is how we have earned the trust of over 2,400 Centerville families — and kept it.
Every stage of life brings different dental needs. Our dental team is trained and experienced in caring for patients of every age—and we adjust our approach to match each patient’s comfort level, health status, and goals.
We recommend a child’s first dental visit by age one or when the first tooth appears. Our team makes every visit positive and stress-free, building the habits and confidence that lead to a lifetime of healthy smiles. We offer sealants, fluoride treatments, and early orthodontic monitoring.
Teenage years are critical for long-term oral health. We monitor wisdom teeth, provide sports mouthguards, and offer Invisalign for teens who want straighter teeth without traditional braces. Regular dental cleanings during these years prevent the cavities and gum issues that often develop in adolescence.
For adults, we focus on maintaining what you have, restoring what has been lost, and enhancing what you want to improve. From routine cleanings and fillings to crowns, implants, and cosmetic treatments like veneers and whitening—we handle it all under one roof.
Older patients have unique dental needs — dry mouth from medications, increased risk of gum disease, and the need for more frequent monitoring of existing restorations. We provide attentive, gentle care that addresses these challenges while keeping our senior patients comfortable and confident in their smiles.
We provide a full range of dental services, so your family never needs a referral for routine care. From your child’s first cleaning to a parent’s crown, we handle it all with the same level of personalized attention.
Twice-yearly professional cleanings and comprehensive exams are the foundation of lifelong oral health. We use digital X-rays to detect problems early — when they are easiest and least expensive to treat.
Gentle, age-appropriate care for children of all ages. We make first visits fun, educate kids on proper brushing habits, and apply sealants and fluoride treatments to protect developing teeth.
Gum disease affects nearly half of adults over 30. We screen for it at every visit and offer deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) and ongoing periodontal maintenance to protect your gum health.
Modern composite resin fillings match your natural tooth color and bond directly to the tooth structure — no metal, no mercury, and a more conservative preparation than traditional amalgam fillings.
Custom-crafted porcelain and zirconia crowns restore damaged teeth to full function and natural appearance. Bridges replace one or more missing teeth using adjacent teeth as anchors.
Straighten your teeth discreetly with custom clear aligners — no metal brackets, no wires. We offer Invisalign for teens and adults, with treatment plans that fit your schedule and lifestyle.
The gold standard for replacing missing teeth. Implants look, feel, and function exactly like natural teeth — and they last a lifetime with proper care. We place and restore implants in-house.
Professional whitening delivers results that no over-the-counter product can match. We offer both in-office whitening for immediate results and take-home trays for gradual, controlled brightening.
Dental emergencies do not wait for convenient times. We offer same-day emergency appointments for toothaches, broken teeth, lost fillings, and dental abscesses—because your family’s pain should not wait.
We know that a child’s early dental experiences shape their relationship with dental care for the rest of their life. That is why every member of our team is trained to make children feel safe, heard, and genuinely comfortable — not just tolerated.
We explain everything in age-appropriate language, take breaks when needed, and celebrate every small milestone. Parents consistently tell us that their children actually look forward to coming to our office—and that is exactly what we aim for.
There are dozens of dental practices in the Greater Dayton area. Here is what makes Centerville Dental Center the practice that families come back to—year after year, generation after generation.
We have been part of the Centerville community since 1983. We have treated patients who came to us as children and now bring their own children. That kind of continuity is rare—and we are proud of it.
You will see the same dentist at every appointment — not a rotating roster of associates. Your doctor knows your history, your preferences, and your family’s unique needs. That continuity makes a real difference in the quality of care you receive.
We take anxiety seriously. Whether it is a nervous child or an adult who has avoided the dentist for years, our team is trained to create an environment where every patient feels genuinely at ease — not just managed.
We never recommend treatment that is not genuinely necessary. Every recommendation comes with a clear explanation of why it is needed, what the alternatives are, and what happens if you wait. No pressure, no upselling.
We offer back-to-back appointments for families so you can bring multiple family members in a single trip. Morning appointments are available Monday through Friday, and we work hard to accommodate your schedule.
From a toddler’s first cleaning to a grandparent’s implant, we handle it all in-house. No referrals for routine care, no coordinating between multiple practices—just one trusted team that knows your whole family.
Whether you are bringing your family to us for the first time or returning after years away, here is exactly what your first visit looks like at Centerville Dental Center.
From the moment you walk in, our front desk team will greet you by name and make sure every family member feels comfortable. We review your health history, answer any questions you have, and make sure you know exactly what to expect before any treatment begins. New patient paperwork can be completed online in advance so your first visit is as smooth as possible.
Your doctor will perform a thorough clinical exam — checking teeth, gums, bite, and oral tissues — along with digital X-rays that use up to 90% less radiation than traditional film. For children, we tailor the exam to their age and comfort level, making it feel more like an adventure than a medical appointment.
Our hygienists perform a thorough professional cleaning — removing plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing and flossing cannot reach. We take the time to educate patients (and parents of younger patients) on the most effective home care techniques for their specific situation.
After the exam, your doctor will sit down with you—not rush through findings at the chair—and explain what they found, what it means, and what your options are. If treatment is recommended, you will receive a clear written estimate and a prioritized plan. Nothing is scheduled without your full understanding and agreement.
Our front desk team will verify your insurance benefits and explain exactly what your plan covers before you leave. We accept most major PPO plans and offer CareCredit financing for out-of-pocket costs. We will also schedule your next appointment — and your family’s — before you walk out the door.
Real words from real families who have trusted Centerville Dental Center for years — and in many cases, for generations.
“We have been coming to Centerville Dental Center for over 15 years — my husband, our three kids, and now my parents too. Dr. Nguyen knows every one of us by name and remembers details about our lives that most doctors never bother to learn. It truly feels like a family practice in every sense of the word.”
“My son used to be terrified of the dentist. After his first visit here, he actually asked when he could come back. The team is so patient and gentle with kids—they explained everything in a way that made him feel like he was in control. We will never go anywhere else.”
“I moved to Centerville three years ago and was nervous about finding a new dentist. A neighbor recommended this practice and I am so glad she did. Dr. Huang is thorough, honest, and genuinely listens. My whole family is now patients here and we could not be happier.”
Older patients deserve the same level of attention and respect as any other patient — and often require more of it. Medications, systemic health conditions, and decades of dental history all affect oral health in ways that require experience and genuine attentiveness to manage well.
Our dentist takes the time to understand each senior patient’s full health picture—not just their teeth. We coordinate with physicians when needed, adjust our approach for patients with mobility challenges or dental anxiety, and always explain treatment options clearly so our senior patients feel fully informed and in control of their care.
We accept most major PPO dental insurance plans—including Delta Dental, Cigna, Aetna, MetLife, and United Concordia. Our team verifies your benefits before your appointment so your family knows exactly what your plan covers before any treatment begins.
For out-of-pocket costs, we offer CareCredit financing with promotional 0% interest periods, so you can start treatment now and pay over time. We also accept all major credit cards and will work with you to find a payment approach that makes care accessible for your whole family.
Every treatment plan comes with a clear, detailed cost estimate before any work begins — no surprises, no pressure.
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a child’s first dental visit by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth appearing — whichever comes first. Early visits allow us to monitor development, apply preventive treatments like fluoride, and most importantly, help your child build a positive relationship with dental care before any problems arise. Starting early makes every future visit easier.
For most patients, twice a year — every six months — is the standard recommendation for professional cleanings and exams. However, patients with a history of gum disease, high cavity risk, or certain systemic health conditions may benefit from more frequent visits. We will give each family member a personalized recommendation based on their specific oral health needs at their first exam.
Yes — we genuinely care for patients of every age, from infants getting their first tooth to patients well into their 80s and 90s. We adjust our approach, our communication style, and our treatment recommendations to match each patient’s age, health status, and comfort level. Many of our patients have been coming to us for decades, and we now see their children and grandchildren as well.
Absolutely — and we encourage it. We can schedule consecutive appointments for multiple family members so you can bring everyone in a single trip. Just let our front desk team know when you call or book online, and we will coordinate the schedule to minimize your wait time. This is one of the most popular conveniences we offer for busy families.
Dental anxiety in children is very common, and our team is specifically trained to address it. We use a “tell-show-do” approach — explaining what we are going to do, showing the child the instruments in a non-threatening way, and then proceeding gently. We never rush a nervous child, and we celebrate every small step. Most anxious children become comfortable patients within one or two visits. If anxiety is severe, we can discuss additional comfort options at your consultation.
Yes. We accept most major PPO dental insurance plans, including Delta Dental, Cigna, Aetna, MetLife, and United Concordia. We verify each family member’s benefits before their appointment and provide a clear breakdown of coverage and any out-of-pocket costs before treatment begins. For costs not covered by insurance, we offer CareCredit financing with flexible payment options.
We offer a comprehensive range of services under one roof — so your family rarely needs a referral for routine or advanced care. This includes restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, bridges, implants), cosmetic dentistry (veneers, whitening, bonding), orthodontics (Invisalign for teens and adults), periodontal care, emergency dentistry, and more. Our goal is to be the only dental practice your family ever needs.
Centerville Dental Center is located at 9346 Dayton Lebanon Pike in Centerville, OH — easily accessible from I-675 and SR-725. We welcome families from across the Greater Dayton region who are looking for a dental home they can trust for every member of the family.
Family dentistry is the foundation — but Centerville Dental Center offers a full spectrum of dental care for every need your family may have.
