Hehr Oral Surgery

Overbite? Underbite? Sometimes it's the jaw, not just the teeth.

Orthognathic surgery corrects irregularities of the jaw bones. Severe underbites, overbites, and crossbites can affect how you chew, speak, and breathe, not just how your smile looks.

Braces align the teeth. Surgery aligns the jaw. Your surgeon and orthodontist plan every phase together, so the two treatments work as one plan.

Beyond function, treatment also supports facial balance.

Session 3 of our 2026 Mini Residency Program is complete! 🎓🦷

We had another incredible day of learning this past Friday at Tavern & Table with speaker, Miles R. Cone, DMD, MS, CDT, FACP!

This session focused on 'Dental Photography & the Restorative Phases of Fixed, Removable, and Implant Prosthetic Treatment', giving attendees practical tips and techniques they can bring back to their practices—from enhancing case presentation and documentation to improving restorative treatment outcomes.

A huge thank you to Dr. Cone for sharing his expertise and to all of the doctors who joined us for another great session! We’ve loved seeing this group learn, collaborate, and grow throughout the series.

One session to go! 👏 We’re looking forward to wrapping up our 2026 Mini Residency Program in October!

And stay tuned — our 2027 Mini Residency Program is coming soon! We can’t wait to share what we have planned for next year.

Today marks 25 years since September 11, 2001. We remember the lives lost, the first responders who gave everything, and the families still carrying that loss.

Hehr Oral Surgery joins our community in a moment of remembrance today.

We will never forget.

Our office will be closed Monday, September 7th in observance of Labor Day.

Today we honor the hardworking men and women whose labor built this country, and we're grateful for the dedicated team that cares for our patients every day.

Regular hours resume Tuesday, September 8th.

Ever wonder what happens before a procedure like a dental implant or wisdom tooth extraction? For many patients, it starts with a CBCT scan.

A cone beam CT creates a detailed 3D picture of your teeth, jaw, and bone, so your treatment plan is guided by precision, not guesswork. It's especially useful for implants, impacted teeth, and surgical planning.

The scan itself is quick and painless, one short pass with no discomfort, done right in our office. And because it uses low-dose 3D imaging, it's a fraction of the radiation of a traditional CT scan.

Ask about 3D imaging at your next consultation. Call (843) 767-3310 or visit https://www.hehroralsurgery.com.

Feeling nervous about your upcoming oral surgery consultation? You're not the only one, and there's no need to worry.

At Hehr Oral Surgery, we start by talking through your health history, concerns, and goals before anything else happens. Then imaging, like 3D scans, gives us a clear picture so your treatment plan is built around your case specifically.

We'll explain your options, including sedation and anesthesia, in plain language, and walk through timing and costs before you leave.

Just bring your referral, insurance card, and current medication list.

Call (843) 767-3310 or visit www.hehroralsurgery.com if you have questions before your appointment.

Please welcome Dr. Sharon Lui, DMD to Hehr Oral Surgery! 👏

Today marks Dr. Lui's first day with our team. She'll be seeing patients across our North Charleston and St. George offices, bringing determination, curiosity, and compassion to every patient she cares for.

Born in Ottawa and raised in Plano, Texas, Dr. Lui earned her DMD from LECOM School of Dental Medicine and completed her Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery residency at Indiana University after an internship at Texas A&M College of Dentistry. As the first person in her family to enter healthcare, she takes real pride in the journey that led her to oral surgery.

When she's not in the office, you'll find her playing pickleball, hiking, or exploring new cafés and restaurants with friends.

We're so glad to have you, Dr. Lui!

Can oral surgery be done before braces? Yes. It is often the first step.

Extractions for crowding, impacted canine exposure, wisdom teeth removal, and corrective jaw surgery all support orthodontic treatment. Your oral surgeon and orthodontist time each step together. Swipe for the four most common reasons.

Early evaluations, often in the teen years, keep braces on schedule instead of delaying them. Call (843) 767-3310 or book online at hehroralsurgery.com.

Tooth replacement is as easy as 1, 2, 3.

Step 1. Your surgeon removes the damaged tooth and places a titanium implant into the jawbone.

Step 2. The implant heals for about 6 weeks while your jawbone fuses to it, creating a permanent foundation.

Step 3. A custom abutment and crown complete your restoration, looking and functioning like a natural tooth.

With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. Reach out to our team at Hehr Oral Surgery to see if implants are right for you. Call (843) 767-3310.
