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; i

ncluding 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.

Wishing a very Happy Father’s Day to Dr. Duke and Dr. Rob Heller!

These are the moments that really tell the story — not the big milestones, just the everyday stuff. Pool days, holding your kids, watching them grow up right in front of you… and then one day, they’ve got kids of their own 🥹 💕

OIRD was built by a father and carried on by another. And now we’re lucky enough to see that next generation growing up around us too!

Hope all the dads out there have a great day filled with all their favorite things!

Flashback Friday, Midwest Implant Institute edition! 🙌

A look back at hands-on teaching days with Dr. Duke and Dr. Rob Heller — walking through techniques chairside, guiding every step, and sharing the kind of real-world knowledge you only gain from years of experience.

Through the MII, they’ve spent years training dentists from across the country in implant placement, focusing on precision, thoughtful planning, and long-term success!

Pretty special to look back on moments like these and the impact they’ve had on so many teams… and even more patients 🫶

If your jaw hurts every single day, your bite could be telling you something 😳

This is way more common than you'd think, and it's totally something we can help with! A misaligned bite (also called malocclusion) basically means your teeth aren't lining up the way they should. When it goes unchecked, it can turn into chronic headaches, worn-down teeth, gum recession, and TMD that just keeps getting worse.

Know someone who's been grinding through jaw pain all year? Send this their way so they can actually enjoy their summer 😊

Thinking about dental implants and wondering what actually happens at your first appointment? 🤔 💭 First things first, we just want to get to know you!

We'll chat about what's been going on, what's bothering you, and what you're hoping to achieve. From there, we'll take a close look at your teeth, gums, and supporting structures so we have the full picture. Then we sit down together, walk you through everything we found, and talk through your options.

OIRD was built on family, and that mindset still guides how we care for every person who walks through our doors. You’ll have plenty of time to ask anything on your mind, and we’ll make sure you leave feeling informed, supported, and genuinely cared for 🤝

Losing a tooth doesn’t just change your smile… it gives you a chance to rebuild it stronger! 💪 🦷

When a tooth is missing, your mouth starts adapting in the background. The bone that once supported it can shrink, and nearby teeth may begin to shift — but the exciting part is, there’s a solution designed to support your oral health in a really meaningful way.

Dental implants are considered the gold standard for a reason. They replace the root, help keep your bone strong, and support everything around them so your smile stays stable and healthy long-term. During Oral Health Month, it’s a great reminder that restoring your smile can also protect it for years to come! ✨

If you’ve been thinking about what’s next for your smile, we’re always here to help you explore what’s possible. Learn more here 👉 https://www.oirdental.com/dental-services/dental-implants

Your body is already getting to work beneath the surface, building a strong, stable foundation for what’s next. It’s a process we plan for carefully and guide every day, and it’s what allows implants to perform so reliably long-term. Swipe through to see how the healing phase comes together ➡️

If you’re wondering what your own timeline could look like, we’re always happy to walk you through it!

You probably know Dr. John Shin as one of our implant experts here at OIRD… but there’s a lot more to him than what happens in the operatory 👀

1️⃣ He’s not just practicing implant dentistry, he’s teaching it. Dr. Shin is an instructor at the Midwest Implant Institute, helping train dentists from across the country in advanced techniques.

2️⃣ His background in prosthodontics means he has specialized training in restoring and replacing teeth, something few dentists pursue and something patients truly benefit from.

3️⃣ He brings a calm, thoughtful presence to every visit. Whether he’s walking through a plan or answering questions, he makes people feel genuinely comfortable and cared for.

We’re incredibly grateful to have him on our team and changing lives through implant dentistry here in Columbus 🙌 If Dr. Shin has been part of your care, drop a comment and let him know! 💬

Summer is right around the corner, and so are all the best foods! Steak off the grill. Corn on the cob. You should be able to enjoy every single bite without a second thought 🌽 🥩

Because dental implants are anchored directly into the jawbone, they function like natural tooth roots. That means real strength and stability when you bite, chew, and enjoy the foods you love.

Removable options have supported many patients over the years, but implants offer a level of confidence that feels different. No adjusting, no second guessing—just eating comfortably and living fully!

If you’ve been wondering what implant options could look like for you, why not explore what’s possible?
