These are dentists who truly care about their patients. I’ve been a patient there for many years now and have never had a bad experience. I love both of the doctors and all of the staff! I’ve received follow up phone calls from both doctors after lengthy procedures just to ensure I’m doing ok and not having any issues. I will never go anywhere else for my dental care!

Dr. Sprang and Dr. Alex both go out of their way to make patients feel comfortable and welcome, and the hygienists are all so friendly and personable! From the waiting room, you can hear fun jokes and chair-side chats from everyone in the back - Dr. Sprang even does magic tricks for kids!

Professional, personal, and pleasant. I would highly recommend Dr. Sprang for anyone seeking a technically competent consultation for cosmetic and functional dental work, especially for older people like me. I’m in my late 60’s and had four older crowns that needed to be replaced. After an extended consultation with Dr. Sprang, I accepted his recommended treatment plan which replaced my four old crowns and added two additional crowns for a more balanced outcome. I couldn’t be happier with both the look and the functional improvement in my teeth. Dr. Sprang took the time to fully explain what he was recommending and also why. He gave me other options to consider. He didn’t pressure me and I felt fully informed before I made the decision to accept his recommendation. His professional knowledge and technical expertise were on full display throughout the treatment plan as well as his artistic skill in fabricating wax models of the six crowns that were given to the external laboratory for replicating. My smile looks better and I’m confident. I will be chewing food without dentures for as long as I live.

My husband and I have been coming to Mount Vernon Dental for years. While I know the dentist is not everyone's favorite place to go, Dr. Alex and Dr. Sprang are WONDERFUL! Their work is excellent, and they are kind and patient! The staff is all friendly and professional - you couldn't find a better place or people to help you care for your teeth!

I was born in Mansfield, Ohio, and raised in the countryside north of the city. As a child, I always gravitated to hobbies that involved creativity, attention to detail, and hand skills. I could often be found performing slight-of-hand magic, playing guitar, and woodworking.
In high school, I loved science and chemistry and decided chemistry would be my major at Miami University. It only took a week of college for me to realize that I needed something artistic to be happy. A friend in my dorm talked about becoming a dentist. That’s when it clicked — a career that entails both art and science! Dentistry became my destiny. I graduated from The Ohio State University College of Dentistry in 2006.
My Favorite thing about dentistry is…
I grew up in Dublin, Ohio. As a child, the person I admired most was my dad. He was a dentist and I was impressed by the way he served his patients. He took his time to really get to know them and built such wonderful relationships that lasted throughout his career.
I saw how his patients trusted him. I wanted to be able to serve people this way too. Lucky for me, I was pretty good at science and art in high school. Two perfect combinations for becoming a dentist!

At Mount Vernon Dental, our focus is on our patient’s optimal oral health in conjunction with their overall health. This is often referred to as the oral-systemic connection.
There have been numerous studies on the oral-systemic connection showing links between gum disease and other diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, stroke, dementia, rheumatoid arthritis, some pregnancy complications, and more. Your mouth is a gateway for bacteria to enter the rest of your body. Keeping your mouth clean and free from bad bacteria is necessary to help maintain your optimum overall health.
