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.

“Are dental implants painful?” 💬 Well, you might be surprised at just how comfortable the process can be!

We hear it all the time: patients walk in feeling nervous about their procedure, only to come back after surgery, wondering why they were ever worried in the first place.

That’s because at OIRD, we take comfort seriously. From using your own healing cells (like platelet-poor plasma) to reduce swelling, to advanced laser therapy and StellaLife gels that work fast to soothe inflammation — every detail is thoughtfully chosen to support you!

Thinking about dental implants, but worried about discomfort? You don’t have to be! Let’s talk about how we can make this the easiest step toward a healthier, more confident smile 📱 (614) 885-1215

OIRD started with family — and today, it continues with you 🫶

We’re incredibly grateful for the patients who trust us, return to us, and refer us to the people they care about most.

From right here in Central Ohio to communities beyond, we’ve spent decades helping patients feel whole again with expert implant care, often when they thought no solution was left.

If we’ve helped restore your smile (or confidence), and you know a friend or loved one who’s still searching for answers, we’d be honored to meet them! 🤝
Referrals and word-of-mouth have always been the heart of how we grow. Thank you for being part of that.

This Flashback Friday we’re going back to 2013 for a peek into a day at the Midwest Implant Institute! 📸

Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at Dr. Rob Heller mid-demo, surrounded by eager minds soaking up the fundamentals of implantology 🔩 🦷 And of course… we had to sneak in a cameo of Karen! 😄

For those of you who don’t know, at the MII, we continue to shape the future of implant dentistry. Dentists from across the country come here to learn directly from the experts.

There’s enough to think about during the holiday season 🦃 🎄 your smile shouldn’t be one of them.

Dental implants create a stable, long-lasting foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function naturally. From single implants to implant-supported restorations, they’re designed to bring comfort, confidence, and strength back to your bite.

If you’ve been thinking about restoring your smile, now’s the perfect time to start the conversation. Because enjoying your favorite foods with confidence? That’s something worth celebrating.

We may have just lost an hour of daylight... but we’re not losing sight of what matters ☀️ As the days get shorter and the cloud cover lingers here in Ohio, now’s the perfect time to check in on your vitamin D levels!

Why? Because strong bones = strong support for dental implants 💪

Vitamin D plays a vital role in bone health and healing — especially when it comes to implant placement. That’s why we often recommend pairing it with K2 to help your body absorb calcium and keep things moving in the right direction.

The takeaway? A little sunlight (or supplementation) can go a long way toward long-term success!

Some team members become so woven into the fabric of a place, it’s hard to imagine it without them. That’s how we feel about Karen 🫶

She’s been with us through so much, and her presence brings a steadiness, care, and deep-rooted knowledge that we all rely on. Patients know her. Our team leans on her. And we are so grateful for everything she brings to OIRD.

Has she ever made a difference in your experience here? 👇 We'd love to hear all about it!

Did you know? October is , and we’re using it as a reminder that oral care doesn’t stop at the gums 😮 it affects your whole body.

Your oral microbiome plays a major role in how your body heals, how inflammation is controlled, and how successful your dental implants are over time!

When another doctor sends a patient our way, we know what that really means: they trust us with something important 🤝

Many of the cases we see are complex, nuanced, and not always straightforward. But that’s exactly where our experience shines. We’re here to collaborate, communicate, and support both the referring provider and the patient every step of the way.

To the dentists and specialists who continue to refer to OIRD — thank you ❤️ We value your partnership more than we can say, and we’re always ready when you need a surgical team you can count on!

It’s Flashback Friday, and we’re throwing it way back with our founder, Dr. Duke Heller in full game-day gear 🏈 Long before dental implants were the game plan, he was lacing up his cleats and hitting the field!

With OSU taking on Illinois tomorrow, we thought this was the perfect kickoff to the weekend.

Who else will be watching? Any score predictions? ❤️🤍🖤
