Is There a Risk of Nerve Damage During Wisdom Teeth Removal?
Concerned about nerve damage during wisdom teeth removal? While rare, it's possible. Wisdom teeth are close to nerves that control sensation in the face and mouth. During extraction, nerves can be bruised or injured, causing temporary or even permanent numbness or tingling. Choosing a skilled oral surgeon reduces this risk. Our team will assess your individual anatomy and take precautions to minimize potential complications. While nerve damage is uncommon, being informed and proactive ensures the best possible outcome for your oral health.

Wondering if you need a wisdom tooth extraction? Common signs include pain at the back of your mouth, swollen or bleeding gums, jaw stiffness, and bad breath. You might also experience headaches or notice cysts forming. Impacted wisdom teeth can cause crowding and shift your other teeth. If you have any of these symptoms, it's time to visit our office. Early extraction can prevent more serious issues down the road. Stay proactive about your dental health!

Dealing with an overbite? Treatment options depend on its severity. Orthodontic braces can gradually shift teeth into proper alignment, correcting mild to moderate overbites. For more severe cases, orthodontic appliances like headgear or rubber bands may be necessary to modify jaw growth. In some instances, surgery may be recommended to reposition the jaw. Consulting with our oral surgeon helps determine the best treatment plan tailored to your needs. Don't let an overbite impact your confidence or oral health—seek treatment early for optimal results and a beautifully aligned smile!

We wish you a meaningful and memorable Memorial Day! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Happy birthday to an incredible surgeon Dr.Dawood! 🎂Your expert hands and unwavering dedication have given hope and transformed lives. Thank you for your surgical skills, compassion, and your exceptional care. Wishing you a year filled with continued success and fulfillment! #2024

New 5.0-star Review: "Dr Dawood and his staff are very professional, and very caring. I had to have removed all 4 wisdom teeth, and two were craniectomy. The nurses are very nice and caring.

Dental implants are designed to be long-lasting, often lasting a lifetime with proper care. Their durability stems from the biocompatible titanium material and the fusion with the jawbone through osseointegration. While implants are not susceptible to decay, maintaining good oral hygiene and attending regular dental check-ups are crucial for their longevity. Factors such as oral hygiene practices, lifestyle habits, and overall health can influence their lifespan. With meticulous care and professional maintenance, dental implants offer a stable and reliable solution for replacing missing teeth, providing patients with a confident smile and functional bite for years to come.

Different Types of Anesthesia Used During Oral Surgery
During oral surgery, various types of anesthesia ensure comfort and safety. Local anesthesia numbs the surgical area, rendering it painless. Sedation anesthesia induces a relaxed state, reducing anxiety and discomfort during the procedure. It ranges from minimal sedation (awake but relaxed) to general anesthesia (unconscious). Intravenous (IV) sedation delivers medication directly into the bloodstream for deeper sedation. General anesthesia renders patients unconscious, typically used for complex procedures. Our oral surgeon will determine the most suitable anesthesia based on your medical history, procedure complexity, and individual needs.

New 5.0-star Review: "I went in for a surgical extraction of one of my teeth and what a smooth extraction it was. Thank you Dr. Dawood and the assistant who helped. Dr. Dawood understood my concerns, explained the process before he started and also before different stages, and he was very gentle and professional. The depth of knowledge he has is easy to see when he speaks and yet he is so down to earth. I will definitely recommend Dr. Dawood to all who need an oral surgeon."

Other signs include changes in voice, unexplained bleeding, or a feeling of something stuck in the throat. Early detection greatly improves treatment outcomes.

What is a Vestibuloplasty?
A vestibuloplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at increasing the depth of the vestibule, the space between the lips, cheeks, and gums. This procedure prepares the mouth for dental implants or to improve the fit of dentures. By creating more space in the mouth, a vestibuloplasty can enhance oral function and aesthetics. It's commonly recommended for patients with limited mouth opening due to factors like oral scarring, trauma, or congenital conditions. If you're considering a vestibuloplasty, consult with our oral surgeon today!
