Dr. Philippe Chahine, DMD, FAGD, owner of Just Smiles – General, Cosmetic & Implant Dentistry, has been recognized by his peers for the 14th consecutive year in the topDentists database for 2026. The distinction, 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. This year's recognition 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, attributing it to the dedication of his team at Just Smiles. "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," he said.
Just Smiles is one of Central Ohio's most established privately owned dental practices, having served the Hilliard community for 23 years and the Westerville community for 20 years. The practice now employs six dentists and over 35 dental professionals, and continues to invest in advanced technology, expanded services, and innovative treatment options to improve patient comfort and outcomes.
Dr. Chahine's commitment to professional development is evidenced by his Fellowship status in the Academy of General Dentistry (FAGD), achieved in 2007. This distinction is 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, Dr. Chahine lectures and provides continuing education programs for fellow dental professionals, sharing his experience to advance clinical excellence within the profession. This recognition underscores the importance of peer-reviewed honors in the dental field, as they highlight practitioners who are trusted by their colleagues. For patients in Central Ohio, this selection offers reassurance that they are receiving care from a dentist respected by his peers for both skill and ethics.
Just Smiles, with locations in Hilliard and Westerville, offers comprehensive dental services including family dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, dental implants, Invisalign®, sedation dentistry, emergency care, and advanced restorative treatments. The practice emphasizes a patient-centered approach with extended hours, affordable membership options, and a commitment to compassionate, judgment-free care.
