Oral Implants and Reconstructive Dentistry

Oral Implants and Reconstructive Dentistry Welcome to OIRD! Our doctors have the skill and knowledge necessary to treat any dental need. With OIRD, "state-of-the-art" is anything but a cliché.

Since 1964 the Doctors and Staff of Oral Implant & Reconstructive Dentistry (OIRD) have dedicated themselves to improving the dental health and in turn, the quality of life for patients in Central Ohio and beyond. Our Patient-First approach applies state-of-the-art knowledge, skill and tools in the performance of some of the most challenging and technically difficult dental procedures available; including Dental Implant placements, Restorations and Sinus and Bone Augmentations. We also apply this same philosophy and skill in the performance of more "general" dentistry services including TMJ treatments, Cosmetic procedures and dental cleaning and maintenance. At OIRD, our mission is to provide patients with the absolute best possible care while they enjoy the best possible experience leading them to their best possible dental health outcome. Our doctors are Dental Implant pioneers and leading educators who help advance the field's technology, procedures and practices through research, FDA studies and the education of thousands of other dentists through their Midwest Implant Institute. Since 1969 our Doctors have placed over 20,000 dental implants and remain sought after lecturers in the Dental Implant field.

For this edition of Flashback Friday, we’re taking it back to when Dr. Rob and Dr. Duke Heller graced the cover of Doctor of Dentistry (Ohio Edition)!

What started as a family legacy rooted in trust and mentorship has grown into a practice known nationwide for excellence and integrity 🙌

Looking back, it’s a reminder that the foundation of OIRD was built on more than clinical skill — it was built on values passed from one generation to the next. And those values continue to guide the work, the teaching, and the care provided here every single day.

We’re grateful for the roots that shaped us and for the generations of patients who’ve trusted that legacy ever since.

Curious about a more flexible, budget-friendly way to enhance your smile this spring? 🙋‍♀️ That’s where Provánce veneers come in.

Provánce is a composite veneer option that allows for very little — and sometimes no — tooth preparation at all. The material is bonded directly to your natural tooth, creating a beautiful aesthetic result at a lower cost than traditional porcelain or zirconia veneers 🤩

It’s a thoughtful way to make a meaningful improvement now, without locking yourself into something permanent too early.

If you’re exploring cosmetic options and want to understand what makes sense for your stage of life, we’re happy to talk through whether Provánce veneers could be a fit!

Today we’re celebrating by shining a light on two people who mean SO much to OIRD…Dr. Rob Heller and Dr. John Shin! 🥳👨‍⚕️

They change lives through implant dentistry every single day, but what makes their impact even bigger is how committed they are to teaching and mentoring other doctors along the way at the MII.

From complex referrals to cases that need an extra level of experience and thought, they’re the ones other dentists trust when it matters most!

Just as important, they show up with integrity, curiosity, and a genuine care for the people sitting in front of them — patients, colleagues, and team members alike.
They’re not only incredible clinicians, but thoughtful leaders, educators, fathers, and friends 🫶

We’re truly grateful to work alongside them and couldn’t be more honored to celebrate the people they are, not just the work they do! If Dr. Rob or Dr. Shin has made an impact on you, leave them a note in the comments 💬

So much of what we do is rooted in trust 🤝 built through shared experiences, thoughtful care, and outcomes designed for the long run.

When patients feel confident in their journey, those experiences often become conversations, stories, and moments worth passing along. That kind of connection is never taken lightly here, and it’s something we’re deeply grateful for every day!

If OIRD has been part of your story, we’d love to hear it. Share your experience in the comments or tag someone who might appreciate knowing where to start.

We couldn’t let today pass without getting a jump on wishing Dr. Rob Heller a HAPPY (early) BIRTHDAY! 🥳 🎈 🎉

Dr. Rob is truly one of those people who wears a lot of hats. An incredible dentist, a respected instructor, a devoted father, grandfather, and someone who has played a huge role in shaping OIRD into what it is today. The care he brings to his patients and the passion he brings to teaching and mentoring are truly felt everywhere.

We’re so grateful for everything he’s built and continues to pour into this team. Dr. Rob, we hope this weekend is full of celebration, laughter, and a little time to soak it all in!

If Dr. Rob has helped restore your smile, or if you just want to help us wish him a happy birthday, drop a comment below and join the celebration! 🎂

🌷 With spring break right around the corner, now’s a great time to think about wisdom tooth removal for high school and college students!

We often hear, “Can we wait?” 💬 and sometimes you can. But what we see clinically is that wisdom teeth can start to partially come through the gum tissue, which can cause irritation and recurring issues over time.

Removing them earlier, especially during the teen years, is typically easier on the body, involves a smoother recovery, and heals more quickly! If wisdom tooth removal is on your radar for your teen or college student, scheduling now can help you stay ahead.

Dental implants didn’t earn the title “gold standard” by accident 🙌 they earned it through longevity, function, and results that hold up for decades.

But for a lot of people, the real turning point happens when they realize tooth replacement doesn’t have to mean cycling through bridges or dentures over the years.

If you’re starting to explore options for missing teeth, especially solutions that don’t rely on neighboring teeth for support, implants deserve a spot at the top of your list.

For anyone who’s been told their situation is “too complex,” “too late,” or “not worth fixing,” OIRD has been rewriting that story for decades ✍️

Full-arch transformations, single-tooth implants, cosmetic restorations — they’ve seen it, taught it, studied it, and restored it at a level most practices never reach!

Swipe these transformations if you enjoy watching a smile evolve into something remarkable! Or if you’d like to add yours to the list, we’d love to hear from you.

Today (and every day), we’re so grateful for the trust our patients place in us and for the referring doctors we’re proud to partner with, and for the relationships that make our work possible.

Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone! 💕

is a great reminder to check in on your foundation — the gums and bone supporting your teeth! Red, tender, or puffy gums are often caused by bacteria settling in during the early stages of inflammation 🦠

When inflammation is left untreated, it can start affecting the support system around your teeth, which can eventually lead to loose or missing teeth!

The best implant results later start with strong support now. Caring for gum inflammation early protects your bone and tissue, which are the MVPs when it comes to healing smoothly after implant treatment!

If you’ve noticed gum irritation, think of this as your sign to step toward solutions that are designed to actually last.
