A caring, well-trained and talented dentist, Dr. Mooney attended The Ohio State University for undergraduate studies and a degree in dentistry. He has been in private practice since 2009 after completing two years of general practice residency at the University of Virginia. Dr. Mooney enjoys all aspects of dentistry, including cosmetic dentistry, Invisalign, sedation dentistry, sleep appliances, and oral surgery.

He enjoys staying fit and, as a huge Buckeye fan, attending most any sporting event. When it comes to his character, after knowing him for nearly two decades, I want to share that he is a person of integrity with a passion for exemplary patient care. Beyond that, he is in fact one of the most genuine, honest, and dependable individuals I’ve ever known, and shares the same mindset as our other Magnolia team members of caring for our patients as if they were a member of our own family.

Dr. Mooney will be joining Dr. Basom as a partner and looks forward to establishing a long career with Magnolia Dental. He’s also looking forward to practicing close to home, with a short commute from Powell where he lives with his wife, Traci, and his 3 beautiful daughters, Brynlee, Ryleigh and Mya.

Dr. Sara Amato graduated from The Ohio State University with a Bachelor of Science in Biology. She went on to earn her Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree from The Ohio State University College of Dentistry, graduating magna cum laude. Originally from a small town in North East Ohio, Dr. Amato grew up treating her neighbors like family. She is committed to bringing those same values of compassion, trust, and personal connection to her patients in Columbus. She strives to create a calming, welcoming environment where her patients feel confident in the care they receive.
Dr. Amato is newly married to her husband, Dominic. She enjoys trying new restaurants around Columbus, weight lifting, and cheering on the Buckeyes. During the summer months, you’ll often find them spending time with their families on the lake!
