For over 40 years, we have put our advanced training to work for our patients, helping them achieve healthier smiles that promote their overall confidence and wellbeing.

We take pride in providing comprehensive care so our patients can receive the dental treatments they need in one convenient, friendly office.

Dental Emergencies
Tooth pain, a broken tooth, or a mouth injury needs prompt attention. Call 419-352-2569 as soon as a problem starts. We make every effort to evaluate urgent cases the same day, and after hours you’ll receive instructions for reaching our on-call doctor. Learn what to do in a dental emergency below!
Sedation Dentistry in Bowling Green, OH
Dental fear and anxiety are the most common reasons for people to delay dental treatment. Though the current dental and medical technologies allow dentistry to be performed comfortably, the environment in a dental office may not be appealing to everyone. We provide a variety of sedation agents for our apprehensive patients. We also offer streaming music and noise cancelling headphones to help our patients tune out the noise and relax.
Dental Implants in Bowling Green, OH
Dental implants are the closest replacement to a natural tooth available in modern dentistry, and our Bowling Green office handles the entire process start to finish — no referral to a specialist in Toledo or Findlay. Our 3D CBCT imaging system lets our doctors plan implant placement with precision before treatment begins, and because our team is trained in both surgical placement and sedation, the surgery and the restoration happen in the same familiar office.
We place single-tooth implants, implant-supported bridges, and implant-retained dentures for patients whose lower dentures no longer stay seated. If you have been told you need to see an oral surgeon for implants, ask us first — in most cases we can complete the treatment here. Complimentary implant consultations are available; call 419-352-2569.

TMJ Treatment in Bowling Green, OH
Temporomandibular Disorder is fairly common in the population and symptoms include, but are not limited to:
● Clicking/popping/grating sound from either jaw joint
● Ringing or fullness in either ear
● Sore facial, chewing, or neck muscles
● Headaches of unknown origin
● Difficulty staying asleep at night
● Grinding or clenching of teeth during the day and/or at night time
We will evaluate your condition using a physical examination, radiographs and/or diagnostic models of your teeth.
Root Canal Therapy in Bowling Green, OH
Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is a procedure that can often save a painful or infected tooth from being extracted. Performed under local anesthetic, sometimes with sedation, it eliminates the pain and infection from most teeth. It is often an excellent alternative to tooth extraction. We are able to treat most cases in our office in one appointment.
Oral Surgery in Bowling Green, OH
Our doctors have the training and expertise necessary to perform most oral surgeries, including extractions, wisdom teeth removal, dental implant placement, and more. We are also trained in sedation dentistry, providing patients with a wide range of options to help make complex dental procedures and oral surgery more comfortable. During any surgery, we carefully monitor the patient and use state-of-the-art technology to minimize discomfort and downtime while improving effectiveness.
Routine Cleanings & Preventive Care in Bowling Green, OH
We recommend patients receive a routine cleaning at least every six months, or more frequently if they have periodontal disease or other dental health issues. During your cleaning, we will remove plaque and tartar and polish the teeth for a brighter, healthier smile. We will also examine the smile for any signs of decay, gum disease, oral cancer, or other problems. We may need to take x-rays or other imaging to help us detect if any issues exist that cannot be seen during a visual exam. During the appointment, our team will provide you with instructions as to how you can improve your at-home dental care so you can play an active role in achieving and maintaining a healthy smile!
Invisalign in Bowling Green, OH
We offer orthodontics through clear aligner therapy to straighten and correct your bite. Using our i-Tero 3D scanner, we can analyze and plan your treatment in the same appointment. Orthodontics can give you the beautiful smile you have always wanted, as well as improve your overall oral health.
Infant Tongue-Tie Release in Bowling Green, OH
Tightness in the tongue and lip attachments (tongue-tie, lip-tie) can impact an infant’s development and ability to nurse or feed. Our team has experience and training in evaluating tongue and lip issues in children as young as newborns. Treatment is completed using specialized lasers.
Dentures & Restorative Dentistry in Bowling Green, OH
Whether you need a full denture, a partial, a reline, or a repair on a denture that has cracked, our Bowling Green office handles denture care in-house. For patients frustrated by a lower denture that shifts while eating or speaking, we place implant-retained dentures that lock the appliance in place using two to four implants — a permanent fix rather than another tube of adhesive. We also provide tooth-colored crowns, bridges, and periodontal treatment to restore function and appearance.
Pediatric Dentistry in Bowling Green, OH
Our team of skilled and compassionate dental professionals understands the unique needs of young patients and is dedicated to creating a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere that puts children at ease. From routine check-ups and cleanings to more complex treatments, we offer a full range of dental services tailored to meet each child’s individual needs. We believe that good oral health is essential to overall health and well-being, and we are committed to helping children achieve healthy and beautiful smiles that last a lifetime.
Parents across Bowling Green and Wood County choose our office as their children’s dental home because siblings and parents can be seen together in a single appointment block. We treat patients from infancy — including tongue-tie and lip-tie evaluation for newborns using specialized lasers — through the teenage years, and our sedation training means anxious children have options other area practices cannot offer.
Contact us today to schedule an appointment and experience the difference in quality pediatric dental care.

Emergency Dentist in Bowling Green, OH
Same-Day Care Available
A cracked tooth, a lost crown, or sudden tooth pain doesn’t wait for business hours. Phipps, Shevlin, & Associates Family Dentistry provides same-day emergency dental care in Bowling Green, OH, and one of our doctors is on call after hours, on weekends, and over holidays. Call 419-352-2569 and you will reach instructions for connecting with our on-call doctor — you are not left with a voicemail box until Monday.
Prompt Care for Toothaches, Broken Teeth, and Dental Injuries
When a toothache keeps you up at night or an accident damages a tooth, you need a dentist who can evaluate the problem quickly and treat it correctly. We make every effort to see urgent patients the same day. After hours, calling 419-352-2569 connects you with instructions for reaching our on-call doctor.
Trained for Trauma, Not Just Routine Dentistry
Dr. Ryan Phipps and Dr. Jenna Shevlin both completed hospital-based General Practice Residencies at Miami Valley Hospital, with rotations in trauma care and anesthesia and advanced training in oral surgery and root canal therapy. For several decades, our dentists have also cared for Bowling Green State University athletes, including treatment of dental and facial trauma.
With on-site 3D CBCT imaging, much of the care an emergency requires, from root canals to extractions, can be handled right here in our office. When a case needs a specialist or hospital, we’ll tell you plainly and help you get there.
Common Dental Emergencies We Treat
Severe or throbbing toothaches
Abscesses, swelling, and gum infections
Cracked, chipped, or broken teeth
Knocked-out or loosened teeth
Sports injuries and facial trauma
Lost fillings or crowns
Wisdom tooth pain and post-extraction complications
Tooth pain that fades doesn’t always mean the problem is gone. An infected nerve can stop hurting while the infection continues, so schedule an evaluation even if the pain has eased.
What to Do Before You Reach Our Office
- Toothache: Rinse with warm salt water, floss gently around the tooth, and take an over-the-counter pain reliever as directed on the label. Don’t place aspirin on the gums.
- Swelling: Apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek.
- Knocked-out adult tooth: Hold it by the crown, not the root, and rinse it briefly if dirty. Place it back in the socket if you can. If not, store it in milk or inside your cheek and call us immediately.
- Broken tooth or lost crown: Save the pieces or crown and bring them with you.
When to Go to the Emergency Room
Call 911 or go to the ER if you have swelling that affects your breathing or swallowing, swelling spreading toward your eye or neck, a high fever with facial swelling, bleeding that won’t stop, or a possible jaw fracture or head injury. Wood County Hospital is in the same medical complex as our office. Once you’re stable, contact us for the dental side of your care.
Do you offer same-day emergency dental appointments?
We make every effort to evaluate urgent dental problems the same day. Call 419-352-2569 as early as possible and describe your symptoms so our team can prioritize your visit. Depending on the problem and our schedule, treatment may begin at that visit or be scheduled promptly afterward.
Is a toothache considered a dental emergency?
A toothache is urgent if the pain is severe or throbbing, keeps you awake, or comes with swelling, fever, or a bad taste in your mouth. These can be signs of infection. Mild sensitivity that comes and goes should still be evaluated, but it can usually wait for a regular appointment.
Do you treat sports injuries and facial trauma?
Yes. Dr. Ryan Phipps and Dr. Jenna Shevlin completed hospital residencies that included trauma care rotations, and for several decades our dentists have cared for Bowling Green State University athletes, including dental and facial trauma. We also make custom athletic mouthguards to help prevent injuries.
What should I do if I have a dental emergency after hours?
Call our main number at 419-352-2569. After business hours, you’ll receive instructions for reaching our on-call doctor, who can advise you on next steps. If you have trouble breathing or swallowing, uncontrolled bleeding, or a serious head or jaw injury, go to the emergency room or call 911.
Can you save a knocked-out tooth?
Often, yes, if it’s treated quickly. Handle the tooth by the crown, rinse it briefly if dirty, and try to place it back in the socket. If you can’t, store it in milk or inside your cheek and call us immediately. Your chances of saving the tooth are best when you’re seen as soon as possible.
