The practice has served the greater Columbus area across three generations of the Bowen family since 1949. The practice describes its approach as holistic and wellness-focused, recognizing the connection between oral health and overall systemic health. It sees patients of all ages, from children through adults.

The practice’s holistic and wellness framing, while not exclusively biological dentistry-focused, is substantive and backed by the SMART certification and nontoxic materials page.
