About Us | Loper Legacy Dental

Meet Our Dentists

Dr. Paul Loper, DDS Family Dentistry has served Reynoldsburg, Columbus and central Ohio for years, welcoming whole families into a relaxed, judgment-free office built on preventive care. New patients start with a full exam and cleaning, then a free consultation covering treatment, fees, timeline and payment options. Seniors receive the Golden Buckeye Courtesy.

Dr. Paul Loper earned his dental degree at the Ohio State University College of Dentistry and is a past president of its alumni society; Columbus Monthly has named the practice a top dentistry provider every year since 2010. He is joined by his son Dr. Ted Loper (OSU, '25), hygienists Arlene Weissman and Caitlin Aitken, EFDAs George Dancho and Airika Duffy, office manager Debra Gardner, and dental assistant Jessica Mason.

Our Team.

The support team brings decades of combined experience.

EFDA George Dancho trained in expanded functions during six years in the U.S. Air Force and later completed a dental lab program at Columbus State. EFDA Airika Duffy joined in 2012 and is married with three children, and office manager Debra Gardner has been here since the practice opened.
