New England Oral & Cosmetic Facial Surgery Has RE-OPENED!

We are as relieved as all of you that the curve has been able to flatten in our province enough to start the return to regular life, one step at a time, thanks to social distancing and stay-at-home efforts. As you may have heard, the BC Government has given the green light for clinics to resume work. We are pleased to announce that we are NOW OPEN!

So, how is that going to look in terms of our oral and cosmetic facial surgery services?

Patients can expect pre-appointment telephone screening regarding Covid-19 symptoms. If anyone is feeling unwell or displaying symptoms, they will be kindly asked to wait until they are healthy, as not to put any staff or other patients at potential risk.

We will also stagger appointments to have minimal people at the clinic at any given time, as well as to keep the waiting room as sparse as possible.

Patients who need urgent treatment for dental implants or cosmetic facial procedures will be prioritized.  As you can imagine, there will be somewhat of a backlog, as we have been closed since the shutdown in March.

Plexiglass shields will be placed between administrative staff and patients for checking-in and payments. Patients will also have the option to pay by phone for limited interaction.

Our team will be working hard to ensure that we continue to exceed industry standards in health and safety.

Please call us at New England Oral & Cosmetic Facial Surgery with any questions you may have or to pre-book your appointment at 604-507-0514.

We look forward to seeing you in-person again soon!

Don’t Let Fear Get in the Way of Your Oral or Maxillofacial Procedure

It’s normal to be nervous when you go to the dentist or the doctor…and especially when you need to have a surgical procedure done. The anxious feelings of the unknown are so much worse than the actual procedure though, because you don’t know exactly what to expect until you experience it. The same goes for anything new you encounter in life that takes you outside of your comfort zone.

That said, if you come to an oral & maxillofacial clinic like New England Oral & Facial Surgery, Dr. Bahi and the staff will make you feel as comfortable as possible and explain everything from beginning to end. No questions will go unanswered.

You will also be provided with in-office sedation, so you won’t feel a thing while the procedure is happening. You will literally fall asleep, and then before you know it, you will be awake again with everything done! It is then all uphill from there!

Does the thought of anaesthesia make you weary? Not to worry. Anyone who administers anaesthesia has extensive training and knows how to safely administer anesthesia.

Do you have any questions about any of our oral or cosmetic facial services? Want more details about anesthesia and how it is administered at our clinic? Feel free to call us today: 604-507-0514. We would also love to book you for a no-pressure consultation.

 

Common Reasons for Undergoing Oral Surgery

To be in good overall health, you need to have good oral health.  The bacteria that originates in the mouth can travel throughout the body and cause various serious health problems. This is why it is so critical to stay on top of any oral issues that arise.

Oral surgery is any procedure that involves cutting into or removing tissue from your mouth such as wisdom tooth removal, gum surgery, correcting jaw issues, or getting dental implants.

The most common reasons for undergoing oral surgery include:

Pain from wisdom teeth – when wisdom teeth start to cause pain, swelling, or infection, they need to be surgically removed.

Missing teeth – if you have missing teeth, the best solution that will be as close to the real thing as possible are dental implants.  They require a highly skilled oral surgeon with absolute precision to get the desired results.

Not enough jaw bone mass – if you require dental implants, you need to have adequate jaw bone density.  If you do not have enough, bone grafting is a solution.

Oral cancer and abnormal lesions or growths – surgery is crucial to remove affected tissues if oral cancer is present.  Biopsies can be performed on abnormal lesions and growths to determine if they need to be removed.  It is always a good idea to remove anything abnormal to be proactive.

Facial trauma – you may need to get oral surgery if your facial structures such as teeth and bones have been damaged.

Infected roots of teeth – if tooth infections cannot be treated with root canal therapy, it may be necessary to get a surgical procedure called an apicoectomy to remove the tip of the root.

Temporomandibular joint disorder and bite problems – if you have bite problems, you may benefit from corrective jaw surgery so that the upper and lower jaws meet properly.  Jaw surgery can also alleviate symptoms of TMJ.

Whatever your oral surgery needs, top oral surgeon in Surrey / Vancouver, Dr. K. Bahi has extensive experience and training to provide you with the best possible results.  Call New England Oral & Facial Surgery to book a consultation for oral surgery today!
