1. TOLEDO, IT’S THE PEOPLE!

   Apr 07 2020

   Toledo has an unspoken treasure. It is not the Toledo Museum of Art, the Toledo Symphony, or the Toledo Zoo. It is not the Toledo Mudhens or the Toledo Walleyes. It is something you sense but cannot explain. It’s the people. Frankel Dentistry is a perfect example of what puts Toledo, Ohio on the map.

   

   Since 1946 Frankel Dentistry has served the community through dentistry with an always better approach. During the current pandemic this commitment to others continues. The caring doctors and staff recently received this message.

   “I would recommend Frankel Dentistry to all my friends, family members, and anyone in need of a good honest clean dentist. They were able to help my husband on a moment’s notice, they accepted cash payment. They are handling the overflow of dental issues coming from the hospital due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Frankel Dentistry went above and beyond for my husband, and honor veterans. I thank you very much for your time, you changed my husband’s life.” Amber S

   

   One of the things that sets Frankel Dentistry apart from the rest is the people. The doctors, staff and healthcare providers go, as Amber stated, “over and beyond.” It is their culture. They wouldn’t have it any other way.

   At Frankel Dentistry, the main goal has always been to protect the health of their patients, their team, and their community. During the COVID-19 pandemic they are seeing patients with dental emergencies only.

   If you have a dental emergency, please contact them and they will take care of you. If you’re in dental pain, please call or text them.

   At Frankel Dentistry as in Toledo, Ohio, it is the people. They are Changing Lives a Smile at a Time.

2. Talk to Me!

   Mar 23 2020

   Communication and collaboration are hallmarks of a Toledo, Ohio Dental Practice, Frankel Dentistry. The owner/dentist, Dr. Jon Frankel found a clever way to check in on his doctors, healthcare providers and staff in the time of COVID-19.

   

   At Frankel Dentistry, the main goal has always been to protect the health of their patients, their team, and their community. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic they are seeing patients with dental emergencies only.

   If you have a dental emergency, please contact them and they will take care of you. If you’re in pain, have a broken tooth, or an abscess, please call or text them.

   They want to keep dental emergencies out of the hospital emergency rooms to serve those with the coronavirus.

   Both locations Toledo and Maumee are open to dental emergencies. There are doctors, healthcare providers and staff to take care of you in case of a dental emergency.

   This means many of the Frankel Dental family are home in self-isolation. Dr. Frankel made sure each and every employee was well via ZOOM last weekend.

   

   Dr. Frankel and Dr. Puhl exemplify Frankel Dentistry’s values.

   Serve All – Always Better –  G.E.T.

   If you have ever visited Frankel Dentistry you must have imagined this tele-call was filled with laughter. One of the highlights was a dental hygienist hiding under her bed covers so her children would not find her! She has been enjoying constant contact with her kids but missed her dental family as well.

3. In Toledo, Ohio It’s the People

   Mar 10 2020

   March 6, 2020 was the Best of Toledo 2019 Party. It is an annual event considered by many to be the party of the year. Walking through the event there was an especially sunny group of smiles. Frankel Dentistry had reserved 5 full tables. One might think seeing each other week in and week out would be enough, not for the Frankel Dentistry crowd. They enjoy each other’s company in and out of the office.  

   

   One wonders how Frankel Dentistry sets itself apart. “It’s our people”, confides Toledo, Ohio dentist, Dr. Jonathan Frankel at a recent Best of Toledo Party. Frankel Dentistry has been voted Best of Toledo by the readers of City Paper for 10 consecutive years. Frankel Dentistry has two locations evening and Saturday hours and doctors, healthcare providers, staff and patients that can’t help themselves but smile.

   

   Dr. Puhl from the Maumee location added, “We are changing lives a smile at a time. Our employees are considered family. It’s in our culture. They get it. They want it. They have the capacity to do it.”

   

   What one notices is how much these folks like each other. They exude a fun- loving caring nature. Brittany Parran, a dental hygienist at the Toledo location believes it is their values, “We put out heads together to define what is important to us. It went quickly, we knew.”

   

   Always Better. Serve All and G.E.T. (gratitude, encouragement, thankfulness) are the values of this Ohio dental practice and it shows. Human Resources and Maumee location manager, Dana Hooper shared, “We hire, promote and fire based on our values.” “We are doing what we love with people we love”, added Pamela Weitzel, a twenty-year employee.  

   

   Frankel Dentistry is home of the best dental experience. They know how to give patients a healthy beautiful smile from the inside out. It’s enough to make you smile!

4. Dentist goes to the Heart

   Feb 14 2020

   

   February is American Heart Month and you don’t have to be in a relationship to celebrate, just make a doctor’s/dental appointment. The month of February acts as a reminder to check in with our health, especially our heart health. That’s right, February isn’t just all about showing your partner that you care, but it is a time to show yourself some care.  

   

   Heart disease can happen at any age and comes with many risks such as suffering a heart attack, stroke, or even death. Heart disease or cardiovascular disease is one of the top leading causes of death in our Nation. In fact, according to the Heart Foundation, it is the number one leading cause of death for women in the United States. This statistic is scary, but heart disease can be prevented. 
   

   
   

   

   Educating those who are at high risk of heart disease will better increase their chances of beating it. The staff at Frankel Dentistry knows that there is a direct correlation between a healthy mouth and a healthy body. We promote the importance of a healthy body every day with all of our patients. But we decided to do more this past Friday.

   

   On Friday, February 8th, the Frankel Dentistry staff took part in the American Heart Associations National Wear Red Day. This campaign is part of their Go Red for Women cause that raises awareness about cardiovascular disease in women. Wearing red on the first Friday of February promotes the important topic of cardiovascular disease in women and how we can avoid it. The Frankel Dentistry staff wore red and took part in this conversation.

   

   

   Heart disease is one of the leading causes of death in the United States. It is also one of the most preventable, so do your heart a favor and get your appointments and checkup in this month.

5. Go Fish!

   Feb 05 2020

   

   Toledo, Ohio has it all. A small town vibe which means no traffic and friendly folks. A world class art museum, a stellar symphony, the Midwest’s finest metro parks, a great zoo, professional baseball and hockey teams and a dental office that cares about patients mean this city lives it’s motto, You Will Do Better In Toledo!

   

   By the way, who’s a dentist’s favorite patient…a hockey player! It is not just the sports guards. It is an exciting sport with exceptional athletes. What could be more fun?

   

   This past weekend, Dr. Frankel and Dr. Puhl took their group to enjoy one of Toledo’s best activities; a Toledo Walleye hockey game! Spending time with CatTrick and Spike brought this dental office together. Doctors, healthcare providers and staff filled an entire section with the best smiles. Taking a group of dental employees to a hockey game might seem strange, right? But not to Dr. Frankel. Supporting and enjoying the Toledo area and each other is what this dental practice is all about.

   

   At Frankel Dentistry, they consider their employees part of their family. This bond is seen by the get-togethers organized by Dr. Frankel and Dr. Puhl. Past activities have included kayaking, ax-throwing at Axe 419, staff dinners, and attending ProMedica’s Summer Concert Series featuring Diana Ross.

   

   The time they spend outside of the office is always fun. They eat. They laugh. They dance. They smile. They celebrate. But most importantly, they have a good time. The fun times and stories are shared with families and friends. Frankel Dentistry has been making great memories since 1946.

   By the way, the Walleyes won in overtime!

6. Toledo has Instant Smiles!

   Jan 16 2020

   

   Have you been thinking about a smile makeover, but don’t know where to start. What about veneers? 

   

   Did you know that Dr. Frankel has changed the lives of hundreds of people with a smile makeover using veneers! He is truly Toledo’s smile makeover expert.

   

   What are Veneers?

   Veneers are beautifully crafted, custom-made porcelain sheaths that restore crooked, malformed, or damaged teeth, allowing for a balanced, enhanced and unique smile while restoring strength and functionality.

   

   
   

   Why Veneers?

   Many people consider veneers because they provide a natural-looking tooth appearance; gum tissue tolerates porcelain well; porcelain veneers are stain-resistant; the color of a porcelain veneer can be selected such that it makes dark teeth appear whiter; veneers offer a conservative approach to changing a tooth’s color and shape because they generally don’t require the extensive shaping before the procedure that crowns do, yet offer a stronger, more aesthetic alternative. Call today to schedule a complimentary consultation to learn more.

   

   Why Frankel Dentistry?

   Placement of such small, porcelain materials takes much skill, precision and artistry of a well trained cosmetic dentist, like Frankel Dentistry. With his expertise, he will quickly be able to fix such problems as worn enamel as well as chipped, discolored, misaligned, irregularly shaped, cracked, or uneven teeth, giving you a beautiful, natural-looking smile that you would like to show off to all your friends and family.

   Beautiful, perfect teeth in just two weeks, probably sounds too good to be true…but, with porcelain veneers and Dr. Frankel’s eye for detail, Frankel Dentistry can create a total smile miracle in just a few weeks. In fact, many patients wish they had their smiles changed sooner. Call Frankel Dentistry for a complimentary consultation today.

   

   
   

   What to Expect?

   In just three short appointments with Frankel Dentistry, you will have your new smile. 

   First, you will come to our office for a consultation. Here, the Frankel Dentistry staff will discuss the different options available to you. We will also take x-rays and go over a treatment plan. Cosmetic digital imaging is also provided to aid you in your decision-making process. If your teeth and gum tissue is disease-free. Impressions will be taken to create a wax mock-up of your new smile.

   Next, during your second visit, Frankel Dentistry will prepare your teeth by filing off about a ½ millimeter of enamel. To avoid the minimal discomfort, you will be given a local anesthetic. Frankel Dentistry staff will place temporary veneers over your teeth. You will leave with a beautiful smile.

   Two weeks later, your veneers will be ready. You will come in for a final appointment. Then, each shell is secured to your teeth with cement. Once finished, the Frankel Dentistry team will review the care process and you are free to leave with your new smile!

7. Brush. Floss. Party.

   Dec 27 2019

   They brush. They floss. Oh boy, do they know how to smile!

   

   The best group of doctors, healthcare providers and staff could be found on December 13, 2019 at local restaurant Carlos Poco Loco. The event was their annual Holiday Office Party.  Nearly 90 strong, they gathered from both the Toledo and Maumee locations of Frankel & Puhl and Frankel Dentistry. This group is caring, kind and fun!

   

   Dr. Frankel is Master of Ceremonies for the annual raffle and gift giving. He was introduced with the Frankel Jingle aptly named “Dr. Frankel wants to see your smile.” Dr. Frankel and Dr. Puhl generously support their teams with several yearly events ranging from kayaking to axe throwing to personal growth seminars. The Holiday Party is the highlight of a year dedicated to serving all with an always better philosophy for this talented group of professionals.

   

   If you could capture a feeling from this group and their owner/mentors, Drs. Frankel and Puhl, it would be gratitude. While sharing an enjoyable event with each other including a delicious Cuban and Mexican Food Buffet, they know what makes it worth celebrating, caring for the dental health of their patients.

   

   If you would, raise your glass of water, cup of coffee, your cerveza, margarita or mojito and make a toast to Changing Lives a Smile at a Time.

8. Dentist Offers Free Smiles

   Dec 03 2019

   A Toledo, Ohio dentist shows thanks by giving. Every year for the last 8 years Frankel Dentistry has opened their doors the Wednesday before Thanksgiving offering free dental care on a first come, first seen basis.

   

   It’s the most wonderful time of the year for a Toledo area dentist…Free Dental Day! On November 27th, the day before Thanksgiving, this Toledo office opens its doors to those in need of dental care free of charge. The event started about eight years ago when Dr. Frankel came up with the idea to give back to his community through his passion for dentistry. “No one should miss out on Thanksgiving because of dental pain, which is why we invite those in need of dental care to take part in this opportunity,” says Dr. Frankel. This is our practice’s holiday tradition.

   

   “It is a real honor to be able to help those in need of dentistry who may be a little down on their luck,” said our office manager Zach Duckworth. This year’s Free Dental Day was a huge success! We were able to see 83 patients with a total cost of over $36,000 of treatment. This event wouldn’t be possible without our wonderful staff who all volunteer their time to be apart of this day.

   

   The doctors, healthcare providers and staff feel extremely blessed to have this wonderful opportunity to give back to our community through dentistry. Changing lives a smile at a time is this practice’s passion. “I am so pleased I got up so early this morning because I met everyone I needed to meet to have my smile back!” said a patient. “I am so happy and I feel so much better already. Thank you guys so much. You’re all angels!” she continued.

   

   Patients participating in Frankel’s Free Dental Day started lining up at 3:30 a.m. Everyone was thankful to Tim Horton’s located on Monroe Street for donating coffee.
   

9. Toledo Dentist has Sweet Tooth!

   Nov 09 2019

   

   Halloween Candy Buyback

   We all know that children may get money from the tooth fairy, but did you know that children can receive candy from a dentist? That’s right! During the month of November, kids trade in their Halloween candy for cash during our Annual Candy Buyback. Frankel Dentistry has been offering this opportunity for over ten years. Dr. Frankel wants to remind kids that while Halloween is a fun holiday, eating too much sugar can lead to cavities and unhealthy habits. Candy, as well as hurting children’s teeth, can lead to hyperactivity and weight gain. Our Annual Candy Buyback is an opportunity not only to educate young children on the importance of oral health, but it is a way to promote the significance of giving back and show what power a community has.   
   

   

   Every year, Dr. Frankel donates all the treats that have been collected to a local group to be sent to Toledo troops serving overseas. This year, we collected over a ton of candy for our troops! This large donation would not be possible without the help of our wonderful community. Frankel Dentistry would like to say a big thank you to the residents of Elmore, Ohio who brought in over 20 pounds of candy and collected no money. Their generosity reflects our shared value to serve all. We are grateful to all those have donated candy to our Halloween Candy buyback. It is hard to believe that this has been our annual event for over 10 years. That’s a lot of sweet community support!

   

   We would also like to highlight a few of our wonderful children who not only brought in 10 pounds of candy but added a personal touch to their donation. A young boy wrote a letter to be sent to the troops with his large donation. In the letter, the gentleman sends thanks to the troops with his kind words and sweet treats. It reads, “Two Twix for both of your fighting arms, a big Sour Patch Kids for your power, Sweet Tarts for your boldness, and a Reeses Cup for your sweetness.” Talk about a sweet kid.

   

   Next year if you are in the Toledo, Ohio area and have excess Halloween Candy. Drs. Frankel and Puhl have a sweet solution. Donate your candy!

10. Toledo Dental Practice Makes State of the Business a Celebration

    Oct 11 2019

    Frankel Dentistry has two locations, Toledo and Maumee employing close to 90 dental professionals. If you ask them, they will tell you they wouldn’t work anywhere else. How is that possible?

    

    The clues are obvious from the moment you contact either location. There are systems in place that make serving the community through dentistry efficient and convenient. Once at one of the offices, it is clear, these dental professionals love what they do and know what they are doing.

    

    Frankel Dentistry has defined the best dental experience. They live it.

    How is it possible they are always better? Continued training and constant communication through the EOS business model L10 meetings eliminate big problems by addressing small issues. Recently the entire group read What the Heck is EOS?  They made it into a book club activity. Chapters were reviewed and discussed together.

    

    Halloween candy buy back.  The staff and doctors at Frankel Dentistry assist each other. Birthdays and anniversaries are celebrated. Personal goals are shared and supported. Service to others is seen not only by their two free dental days and

    

    It makes sense that the annual State of the Business meeting was filled with laughter. It was fun. Reviewing where they have been, reiterating where they are and forecasting where they are going couldn’t have been a better experience.

    

    Frankel Dentistry is changing lives a smile at a time for patients and each other.
