Meet your Dentist
Jeffrey Kirian, DDS
Dr. Jeffrey Kirian is a general dentist at The Dentist in Newark, Ohio. He provides a broad range of dental care with a focus on each patient’s health, comfort and goals. His approach begins with listening, understanding what matters to the patient and explaining the options available.
Dr. Kirian considers how the teeth, gums and bite work together when planning care. He recognizes that recommendations also need to account for a patient’s overall health, stage of life and financial circumstances. For patients who feel anxious or have avoided dental visits, he takes time to understand their concerns and approaches care as gently and thoroughly as possible.
Full-mouth rehabilitation is especially rewarding to Dr. Kirian because it brings together the challenges of comprehensive treatment and the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in someone’s life. His clinical interests also include dental implants, implant-supported dentures and veneers. He favors preserving natural tooth structure and using the amount of treatment appropriate to the patient’s goals.
