The Smile Method dental office lobby — Gahanna and Upper Arlington, Ohio

Dentistry for Those Who Value Their Health

At The Smile Method, we believe your oral health deserves more than the minimum. Since 1996, Dr. Jeff Kover has built a practice around one principle: give every patient the time, expertise, and honest guidance they need to make the best decisions for their health. This isn’t a high-volume, in-and-out practice. It’s a place where you’ll see the same dentist at every visit, where your questions get real answers, and where your treatment plan is built around your long-term wellbeing — not around what’s quick or convenient.

Patients who choose The Smile Method are people who take their health seriously. They want a dentist who takes the same approach. With two locations in Gahanna and Upper Arlington, Ohio, we serve patients throughout the Columbus area who are ready to invest in comprehensive, relationship-driven care.

Why Choose The Smile Method

Decades of Comprehensive Expertise

Dr. Kover has been practicing dentistry in the Columbus area since 1996. Over nearly three decades, he has developed deep expertise across the full spectrum of dental care — from general and preventive dentistry to cosmetic procedures, restorative work, dental implants, and orthodontics. That breadth of skill means you rarely need referrals to outside specialists. Dr. Kover can handle your care start to finish, with continuity that leads to better outcomes.

A Health-First Philosophy

Every recommendation we make is guided by one question: what is truly best for this patient’s long-term health? We don’t recommend unnecessary procedures, and we don’t let outside pressures influence clinical decisions. You’ll receive an honest, thorough assessment — and a clear explanation of your options. We believe informed patients make the best health decisions, so we take the time to explain everything in terms that actually make sense.

Advanced Technology, Thoughtfully Applied

Our offices are equipped with digital X-rays, intraoral scanners, and 3D cone beam imaging. These tools allow us to diagnose with greater precision, plan treatment more accurately, and — in many cases — make your visits faster and more comfortable. Technology is only valuable when it’s in the hands of a clinician who knows how to use it. At The Smile Method, it’s both.

A Relationship, Not a Transaction

Many of our patients have been coming to see Dr. Kover for ten, fifteen, even twenty years. They bring their children. They refer their friends. That kind of loyalty doesn’t happen at practices where you’re a chart number. It happens when your dentist genuinely knows you, remembers your history, and cares about where your health is headed. That’s the kind of practice we’ve built — and continue to build every day.
