If you live, work, or study near Otterbein University in Westerville, Ohio — your smile deserves a dental home just as dedicated as you are.
Otterbein University is one of Westerville's most beloved landmarks, and the community it anchors — students pulling all-nighters, faculty building careers, staff keeping everything running — is one we're proud to serve every day. At Sampson Dental Group in Westerville, we've spent years caring for the smiles of the Otterbein community, and we understand the unique dental needs of everyone on that campus.
Whether you're a freshman just getting off your parents' insurance plan, a professor due for a long-overdue cleaning, or a staff member finally ready to address that tooth you've been ignoring — we're here for you, right in your backyard.
For Otterbein Students
College is a big transition — new city, new routine, and often, a new dentist. Many students arrive at Otterbein having relied on their family dentist back home for years. Now it's time to establish care close to campus.
The college years are also when dental habits can slip — late-night snacking, energy drinks, and skipping checkups are common. We make it easy to stay on track.
The Dental Insurance Transition Nobody Talks About
One of the biggest dental pitfalls for college students is the insurance gap. Many students age off their parents' dental plan at 18 or 26, and navigating new coverage — or a lack of it — can be confusing. Our team will help you understand your benefits, maximize your plan, and ensure cost is never a reason to skip care.
No insurance? Ask us about our Wellness Dental Plan, Sampson's in-house membership plan designed for patients without traditional insurance coverage.

Aging Off Your Parents' Insurance?
If you're an Otterbein student who recently aged off your family's dental plan — or you're not sure what coverage you have — give us a call. Our team will review your options, verify your benefits, and help you get scheduled without the stress. We accept most major insurance plans and offer flexible payment solutions.

You dedicate your days to the Otterbein community. Between classes, meetings, and the demands of campus life, dental appointments can quietly fall to the bottom of the list. We get it — and we've built our Westerville practice around busy professionals like you.
We offer extended hours to accommodate your schedule, and with most specialty procedures available under one roof, you won't need multiple referrals or multiple offices to get complete care.
