Last month, Dr. Frankel spent some time studying with two incredible dental innovators Dr. Michael Apa and Dr. Larry Rosenthal. Both world renowned dentists based out of New York City and known for their work in Cosmetic and Aesthetic Dentistry! Drs. Apa, Frankel, and Rosenthal spent time discussing advances in porcelain veneers. Cosmetic Dentistry is one of Dr. Frankel’s passions. A very special thank you to Dr. Rosenthal, Dr. Apa, Cathy and the rest of his incredible team.

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!

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!

Our Story
Toledo is more than a great town. It is a town that supports small businesses. Dr. Sheldon Frankel opened the doors to Frankel Dentistry in 1946 knowing this was going to be home. Originally from Manhattan, New York, Dr. Frankel graduated from Ohio State Dental school and settled in with his wife, Toledo native, Ervine Frankel, a beautiful, Toledo Hospital trained registered nurse.
The Frankels grew their family and dental practice. Eldest daughter, Karen, became a dental hygienist graduating from the four year Ohio State Dental School program. Youngest son Jonathan graduated from Ohio State Dental School in 1996 and joined Frankel Dentistry with his father’s same always better attitude.
This is a small business that serves all by giving back twice a year with Free Dentistry and paying it forward by buying back Halloween candy and sending it to local troops. They have defined the best dental experience and continue to perfect it through high tech dentistry and continuous education for all staff from doctors to assistants to call center specialists and insurance verification employees. Frankel Dentistry wants to change lives a smile at a time.
Call for an appointment and be guided to the best dental experience. From the minute you walk in the door until the moment you walk out, you know you and your dental health are their top priority. You will find smiling faces and hear laughter throughout the office.
This local small business remembers it’s roots. A plaque honoring Sheldon Frankel, DDS greets all entering the Toledo location. To serve the community more there are two locations, Toledo and Maumee. Frankel Dentistry exemplifies small business done right. They are grateful to serve by encouraging dental health. You can almost imagine the late Dr. Sheldon Frankel smiling at the progress his small business has made in Toledo, Ohio.

Since I have become a patient of Dr. Frankel (going on 7 years), I have had NO problems with my teeth! My previous dentist always seemed to find something “wrong”, and I needed an overlay, or a bridge, or SOMETHING! I am beyond satisfied with all the staff at this practice and I highly recommend becoming a patient here.

Would just like to let you know how impressive your office is on cleanliness. From the waiting area to the dental chair all looks so nice. Brittney always does a great job cleaning my teeth but for some reason on this particular visit I happened to notice how professional everything looked. Keep up the good work – we appreciate it!!

From the minute I walked in the door I was greeted with a genuine happy smile. Brittney also called me back for my cleaning with a big smile. Check out staff very nice and friendly. So nice to go to a workplace where people smile. Also “love” the quick whitening Brittney did on my teeth. The minimal cost is worth the time I save doing it on my own and treatment does a better job than my home whitening.

I moved to the area from S.C and I needed to find a dentist and chose to go to Dr. Frankel. Upon arriving it was obvious there is team concept strategy within the office. Everyone was pleasant, upbeat and willing. They all made me feel as though they had been waiting specifically for me. Julia did my cleaning and she was very gentle, kind and thoughtful. Dr. Frankel was very nice and seemed genuinely concerned about my overall dental care. This was my first visit however I do believe I’ve found my dentist and that makes me smile.

Since 1946 Frankel Dentistry has served the Toledo area through dentistry. Dr. Jonathan Frankel has always enjoyed the family celebration of Thanksgiving. He shared with his staff and fellow dentists at Frankel Dentistry his gratitude and desire to give thanks by providing free dental care for those in need. It was unanimous. They were all in. Every year since, on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, patients in need are seen on a first come first seen basis. The dentistry is free. The happiness is contagious.
Local businesses Tim Horton’s and Cafe Donuts both on Monroe Street in Toledo donate hot coffee and donuts for those who wait outside from as early as 3 a.m. to be seen. The patients are grateful. Fortunately, there are plenty of toothbrushes for those who wish to “freshen-up” before being seen.
Frankel Dentistry has two locations. One is in Maumee. Dentists, dental professionals and staff from both locations gather at the Toledo, Ohio location for the Thanksgiving free dentistry event. The passion at Frankel Dentistry is Changing Lives a Smile at a Time. It is certainly evident as the patients (often previously in pain) leave the event smiling.
The Frankel Dentistry core values shine thorough. Always Better, Serve All and Gratitude exemplify this Thanksgiving Free Dental day and everyday at this unique dental practice.
