FAIRVIEW PARK, Ohio -- For more than a year, Dr. Brad Hylan has had his eye on Fairview Park as a possible new location for Hylan Dental Care, which has Northeast Ohio offices in Cleveland, Brecksville, Cedar Center and Aurora.

Now that goal is about to become a reality when the practice opens up its fifth location June 1 at 22245 Lorain Road.

“Fairview Park is an up-and-coming area, and it’s growing,” Hylan said. “Demographic research determined there weren’t a lot of dentists in the area, so I felt that was the best place to be.

“Lorain Road seemed like a natural location. Also, it will take some of the load off of our Cleveland office, where some Fairview Park patients visit.”

Hylan, who has been in practice for 40 years, said the Fairview Park location also provides Hylan Dental Care with more of a west side presence. The new facility will offer modern 3D X-ray technology.

“We’re able to see things and diagnose things that you can’t do otherwise,” Hylan said. “In fact, I wouldn’t want to practice without a 3D X-ray. They’re crazy expensive, but it’s really worth it because you just do a better job.

“We recently had someone with a broken jaw. We were able to look at it in a way that we could not look at it with a normal X-ray. Also, we recently had a lady with a really bad toothache. After using the 3D X-ray, we could see her entire sinus was filled up. So 3D is just amazing.”

Another benefit of the 3D X-ray technology has to do with dental implants.

“We actually kind of want to be known as the dental implant people,” Hylan said. “3D allows us to do dental implants in a way that just can’t be done with two dimensions. We just get a superior result, and it’s just changing people’s lives.”

Hylan Dental Care provides routine care, as well as cosmetic dentistry. Hylan said there’s also something else that makes the practice special.

“I would say it’s all about the relationship and, oh, by the way, maybe we’ll do some dentistry in the process,” Hylan said. “If you Google Hylan dental care, we have more than 1,500 5-Star reviews. That’s not because of me.

“I do more administrative and training the staff. We just have an amazing group of people we get to work with who build great relationships with our patients.”
