Dr. Philippe Chahine, DMD, FAGD, owner of Just Smiles – General, Cosmetic & Implant Dentistry, has been recognized by his peers for inclusion in the topDentists™ database for the fourteenth consecutive year in 2026. The recognition, which cannot be purchased, is based on a comprehensive peer-review survey where dentists and specialists nominate colleagues they would trust to treat their own families. Dr. Chahine was also featured in the June edition of Columbus Monthly, which publishes the annual list of topDentists in Central Ohio.
Dr. Chahine expressed gratitude for the honor, stating, 'I am grateful and humbled once again to be recognized by my peers, especially because this recognition reflects the hard work and dedication of the entire Just Smiles team. For more than two decades, our team has had the privilege of caring for families throughout Central Ohio. This recognition reflects our commitment to clinical excellence, continuing education, and delivering the kind of personalized care that has always been at the heart of Just Smiles.'
Just Smiles has served the Hilliard community for 23 years and the Westerville community for 20 years, establishing itself as one of Central Ohio's most trusted privately owned dental practices. The practice employs six dentists and more than 35 dental professionals, investing in advanced technology and expanded services to improve patient comfort and outcomes.
Dr. Chahine's professional achievements include earning Fellowship status in the Academy of General Dentistry (FAGD) in 2007, a distinction held by fewer than seven percent of dentists in North America. He is also a member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, trained in DOCS (Dental Organization for Conscious Sedation) protocols, and has achieved Invisalign® Pearl Provider status. Beyond patient care, he lectures and provides continuing education programs for fellow dental professionals.
The topDentists recognition highlights the importance of peer-reviewed excellence in dentistry, offering patients a reliable guide to choosing a trusted provider. For Central Ohio residents, this distinction underscores the quality of care available at Just Smiles, which offers comprehensive services including family dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, dental implants, Invisalign®, sedation dentistry, and advanced restorative treatments. The practice's patient-centered approach, extended hours, and affordable membership options make it accessible to a wide range of patients.
This recognition matters because it reflects the trust of fellow professionals, which is a strong indicator of clinical skill and ethical practice. For the community, it means access to a dentist who is committed to continuous learning and high standards. As the dental industry evolves with new technologies and treatments, recognition like topDentists helps patients identify practices that prioritize quality and compassion.
