Meet Dr. Mouawia Ghiba

Dr. Mouawia Ghiba earned his Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from Boston University Dental School in 1993. After a year in group practice, he returned to school at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey for postgraduate specialty training in prosthodontics and completed the program in 1996. Prosthodontics is the dental specialty devoted to restoring and replacing teeth, and his training covered fixed, removable, and implant-supported prostheses.

That training shapes the work he loves most: partials, dentures, and dental implants. A prosthodontist looks at more than a single tooth. The way your bite comes together, the support your lips and cheeks need, and how a new tooth or denture will feel when you eat and speak all factor into the plan. For a denture or partial, that means choosing the shape, size, and shade of the teeth with you, then refining the fit across try-in and adjustment visits. For implants, it means planning the final tooth first, so the implant underneath supports it properly.

Other dentists refer patients to Dr. Ghiba specifically for prosthodontic treatment, and our office keeps a dedicated referral form for them. The implant and denture cases in our smile gallery include full arches restored with All-on-4 and All-on-X implants, and snap-on dentures secured with four implants on top and four on the bottom. One patient even traveled from Canada for implant treatment with him. Whether you are replacing one tooth or a full arch, your plan is built around how the finished teeth will look and work.

Dr. Ghiba has practiced all phases of dentistry since 1993 and has shared what he knows through teaching appointments at UMDNJ, Case Western University, and Al-Kalamoon University. Patients often mention how thoroughly he explains each step before treatment begins. Outside the office, he lives in Westlake, Ohio, with his wife and their three children.
