Portia J. Bell, DDS

Cosmetic dentistry isn’t just about whitening. On Crossroads Plaza Drive, near the intersection of I-270 and Sawmill Road, Portia J. Bell, DDS handles the kind of work that changes how people see themselves—veneers, bonding, even full-smile makeovers. The area’s a mix of medical offices and retail, which means parking is functional but not exactly scenic. Still, the draw here isn’t the surroundings. Procedures like crowns, bridges, and teeth straightening get scheduled without the usual upsell pressure. No spa-like pretenses, just the clinical side of making teeth look less like an afterthought. Columbus has no shortage of dentists, but cosmetic-focused practices tend to cluster near the suburbs. This one sits in a stretch of North Columbus where the buildings are practical and the signage is understated. Questions about aligners or implants? The phone’s the quickest route: (614) 471-1161. For those who’d rather scope out the location first, a map cuts through the guesswork. The plaza itself is unremarkable—just another node in the city’s sprawl, where the real estate exists to serve a purpose, not make a statement.
