For the fourteenth consecutive year, Dr. Philippe Chahine, owner of Just Smiles – General, Cosmetic & Implant Dentistry, has been recognized by his peers in the topDentists™ database. The 2026 distinction, featured in the June edition of Columbus Monthly, highlights Chahine's sustained excellence in dentistry across more than two decades of serving Central Ohio communities.
Unlike many professional accolades, inclusion in topDentists cannot be purchased; it is based solely on a comprehensive peer-review survey where dentists and specialists nominate colleagues they would trust to treat their own families. The resulting list represents a select group of dental professionals recognized for clinical skill, ethics, and commitment to excellence.
"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," said Dr. Chahine. "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 become one of Central Ohio's most established and trusted privately owned dental practices, having served the Hilliard community for 23 years and the Westerville community for 20 years. The practice now includes six dentists and more than 35 dental professionals, continuously investing in advanced technology and expanded services to improve patient comfort and outcomes.
Dr. Chahine's dedication to professional development is evident through his Fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry (FAGD), achieved 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 sedation protocols, and has achieved Invisalign® Pearl Provider status. Beyond patient care, he regularly lectures and provides continuing education programs for fellow dental professionals, sharing his expertise in advancing clinical excellence.
This recognition underscores the importance of peer-reviewed metrics in healthcare, as it signifies trust among professionals. For patients seeking a dentist in Central Ohio, the topDentists list serves as a reliable guide to practitioners who are highly regarded by their colleagues. Dr. Chahine's consistent inclusion over 14 years demonstrates a sustained commitment to quality that benefits the local community, where access to trusted dental care is essential for overall health.
Just Smiles offers comprehensive services including family dentistry, cosmetic procedures, dental implants, Invisalign®, sedation dentistry, emergency care, and advanced restorative treatments. The practice emphasizes a patient-centered approach with extended hours and affordable membership options, aiming to deliver care with integrity and compassion.
