Expert Oral & Facial Surgery Services in Charleston, SC

Our core implant service includes the surgical placement of titanium posts that act as artificial tooth roots. Ideal for one or more missing teeth, these implants are designed for long-term success and can be restored with lifelike crowns or prosthetics through your general dentist.

Unlike conventional dental implants that may require months of healing and temporary dentures, Teeth-in-a-Day places multiple implants and a full prosthetic arch in a single appointment.

All-on-X dental implants are a full-arch tooth replacement solution that uses a strategic number of implants (typically 4–6 per arch) to support a fixed, non-removable set of teeth.

At Hehr Oral Surgery, we offer advanced bone grafting procedures to rebuild lost bone, restore structural integrity, and maintain proper oral function.

A sinus lift—also called sinus augmentation—is a specialized surgical procedure that adds bone to the maxillary sinus, creating the necessary support for secure, long-lasting implant placement.

Proper preparation of the mouth is often essential before placing a denture or other oral prosthetic, especially when the shape of the bone or soft tissue could interfere with fit or comfort.

For certain surgical procedures or patients with specific medical needs, general anesthesia may be the best choice. This option allows for complete unconsciousness throughout the treatment and is administered by our trained team in a fully equipped surgical setting.

Intravenous sedation offers a deeper, more controlled level of relaxation during procedures. The sedative is delivered directly into the bloodstream, allowing you to remain conscious but deeply relaxed. Many patients remember little to nothing after treatment, making it an ideal option for those with dental anxiety or sensitive gag reflexes.

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders can cause daily pain, limited jaw movement, and even headaches or ear discomfort. Our TMJ services include diagnostic imaging, non-surgical therapies, and, when appropriate, surgical intervention to restore comfort and function.

Oral pathology focuses on identifying and diagnosing abnormalities in the mouth, jaw, and facial structures. If you’ve noticed persistent sores, discoloration, swelling, or tissue changes, a surgical evaluation may be necessary. We provide biopsy services and surgical management of benign and potentially serious oral lesions.

Our in-house cone beam CT scanner provides high-resolution, 3D digital images of the teeth, bone, nerve pathways, and sinus cavities. This technology is indispensable for treatment planning in dental implants, bone grafting, TMJ therapy, and facial trauma reconstruction. Unlike traditional x-rays, cone beam scans offer a complete view in a single, low-radiation pass—enabling safer and more confident surgical decisions.
