Edwards Family Dental Celebrates 20 Years of Service, Growth, and Community

In June 2005, Dr. Tim and Amy Edwards opened the doors to Edwards Family Dental, guided by a clear vision: to build a dental practice rooted in trust, compassion, and a family-first approach. After nearly a decade of working alongside Amy’s family in dentistry, the couple took a leap of faith to plant roots in Dublin, Ohio. With just three functioning operatories, one hygienist, an assistant, and a receptionist, their journey began, raising young children, and fueled by the support of the one bank willing to believe in their dream. They built their first office from the ground up, hiring staff without an office in a Panera, and forged lasting relationships in the community.

From the outset, Edwards Family Dental stood out not just for its clinical excellence, but for its heart. In its early days, the practice was especially committed to serving military families, creating a candy buy-back program that supported local schools and sent out Halloween care packages with over 1,000 pounds of candy! As the years passed, the practice steadily expanded. In 2007, Dr. Edwards added orthodontic services to meet growing patient needs, even as he continued to provide care single-handedly. Preschool talks and school programs became part of their community engagement, all while slowly increasing staff and building out operatories to match their expanding patient base.

A pivotal moment came in 2013, when Dr. Edwards made what Amy calls “the impulse buy of his life” - purchasing and building their current location from the ground up. The move allowed the practice to grow from five to nine operatories almost overnight. In 2020, they purchased the other half of the building made just before the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic. The crisis brought layoffs, fear, and a hard reset, but also renewed clarity and vision for the future. With construction starting in March and a ribbon-cutting ceremony in October, the practice expanded to provide patients a broader range of services. This new capacity enabled Dr Edwards to recruit Dr Lynn Montswil and Dr Amy Lahm to join the team.

Today, Edwards Family Dental is a thriving, multi-dentist practice known not only for top-tier dental care but for its strong relational focus. The team at EFD continues to bring fresh perspective and collaborative excellence to the practice. As long-time custom service coach Linda reflects, “Being open, always questioning what’s best, and collaborating with many professionals has led to the success the Edwards’ are enjoying. I consider it a privilege and honor to work alongside Dr. Edwards, but more importantly, I am esteemed to call the Edwards my friends.”
